Labour Party Union Funding Scam Scrapped

Great news that the backhanded theft of millions of pounds of taxpayers money by the Labour Party, also known as the Union Modernisation Fund, has been scrapped. But it’s fine, no doubt Prezza will be elected Treasurer at Labour conference and with his track record he’s guaranteed to sort out the hole in Labour’s dire finances.

          Obtaining property by deception, false accounting, abuse of public office etc. The Parliamentary Standards Committee will find nothing wrong and do a SECRET DEAL- like they are with the MPs. Corrupt fckers.

          Cameron and Clegg need a wake up call to reality with the BBC, of course unless they have done a deal with them!!

            Mud sticks, Cameron’s reputation is being made now, not 3 years from now.

            He gets his worthless ineffectual Socialist arse into gear now, or he loses way before the GE in 2015.

      £145.50 isn’t a rip-off compared with subscription channels. What’s wrong is that it’s compulsory, whether or not you want to watch or listen to the Beeb – and that the BBC are so biased in their political coverage.

        How about the Beeb shrinking a bit and spending it’s money on making some decent fucking telly & radio? Why the fuck do we need 150 crap minority radio stations and 10 shite TV channels? Let’s have BBC1 & 2 and Radios 1 to 4.

      The BBC is fantastic value, it brings us all the socialist news from around the world from a socialist perspective complete with socialist guests and using socialist information sources such as the guardian/huffington post etc and giving us socialist films and programmes designed to present socialist values and aims. no wonder honest Dave and his comrades love the BBC so much.
      What could be better than that?
      The world of Marxist socialism brought to you by socialists for socialists in the most socialist way possible, an enforced taxation to watch the TV. What could be more socialist than that?

          Prolonged, Ecstatic Applause from the Coaltion says:

          Mr Cameron stressed that he supported the BBC

          He said: “The BBC is an important national institution. I want to see it prosper and succeed and be a fantastic cultural asset.”

          He added that he was a “supporter of the licence fee”

          Jeremy Hunt Conservative MP, Culture Secretary

          “I believe that the BBC is a great national institution.”

          “I am proud of the BBC. I think that most British people think that we are very lucky to have a BBC and most people who aren’t British, if they don’t have a BBC, wish they did have one.”

          “I don’t see the BBC as a State broadcaster. “I think people see the BBC as operating at arms length from the government and it’s very important that it should continue to do so and that’s why we’ve said we will protect the BBC charter.”

          Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has defended the BBC, saying it’s “unique in the world and we should be proud of it” and said the trend for politicians to constantly attack it was wrong.

          • Atlas shrugged says:

            The good news

            This is the sort of stuff football chairman talk a week before they sack their manager. Let us hope anyway.

            The simple truth is that Cameron can not get shot of the BBC, nor can he change The BBC in any notable fashion. The BBC is a product of the ESTABLISHMENT. As such, Cameron attacking the BBC would be a direct attack on the hand that feeds his political party, as well as all of the other political parties.

            If Cameron was a true conservative (which he is not in any more then name) he would have closed down the entire BBC months ago.

            The BBC is a CORPORATIST organization which means it represents the interests of our FASCIST Internationalist socialist establishment, not the British people or any particular political party. The BBC only seems to better represent The Labour Party because The Labour Party is ideologically closer to Corporatist Fascism then any of the rest.

            The BBC is now, and always has been run by Jesuits and Zionists.

            This may seem paradoxical, especially when The BBC is discussing The State of Israel, but it is the case all the same. The BBC is expert at both white and black propaganda. What the BBC never does is tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about anything even slightly important.

            The BBC is not bad, sad, or a simple pain in the butt. The BBC is EVIL working for EVIL, and will one day be largely responsible for the deaths of many millions of completely innocent human beings, many of which will be Americans and Europeans.

            Please understand that the vast majority of BBC employees have absolutely no idea what it is they are really working for, or towards. If they did I am sure they would be perfectly horrified.

            I wish I could assure you that the likes of Murdoch are in anyway better then The BBC at telling the truth. However Murdoch is every bit as Evil as The BBC and then some.

            The best thing to do with the BBC and Sky is to not watch or listen to either of them. If this is not possible, then please try your best to think very hard indeed before you take either of these broadcasters at face value.

            Do not ask, is it true?

            Ask WHY are they telling me these half truths, damned right lies, or general bullshit, and sometimes more importantly, why are they telling me this extremely dangerous and highly divisive crap now?

          • non-PC education says:

            “I want to see it prosper and succeed”

            In that case CallMeDave is a traitor.

            He and his coterie of cocks can swing for my vote. B&P is looking increasingly more preferable.

          • Why wait for Cameron to pretend to make BBC cuts? Let’s do it for him like they did in New Zealand.

            Cancel your TV Licensing direct debit, place a “implied right of access withdrawn” notice to Capita outside your door and ignore the letters.

            They can’t do a thing. You’ve just saved £148.

            We only need a critical mass of a few 100,000 and then it becomes too expensive to try and recaptcher the lost revenue – the whole system collapses.

            Google “Beating Big Brother” by Ian Wishart.

            Whether you watch live broadcast or not is entirely up to you – I don’t bother any more because most of it is dumbed down low brow excrement.

            And even if I did, I’d either watch it on my TV or PC – not a thing they can do.

            But if the BBC goes, we’ll lose a lot of good stuff. It’s just a shame they can’t stop their bias – being happy to oppose both Labour (from the left) and Tories (from the left).

            Ever sat in a US hotel room, flicking through 250-odd channels of crap ?

            Mad Jock and TT have an idea. Shrink BBC back to 2 TV and 4 radio channels, halve the license fee – and then wonder what to do about their news and current affairs programmes. Sack all current or former SWP staff, or insist on recruiting to similar positions a balancing number of former or current UKIP/BNP/NF members ?

            Actually as a labour supporter, the person you should have highlighted from that period is clement attlee.

            He was a true and faithful son of labour. He signed up to serve in WW1 right from the beginning. Went to Gallipolli, contracted dysentery, recovered – was sent to the Middle East , was seriously injured, recovered – ended up on the Western Front holding the front line.

            Then he served in churchill’s coalition government burying his differences for the sake of the national good.

            Y’know of any labour mp’s in the last 13 years who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan do you?

            Truth is today’s labour party is a poor parody of the real labour party that existed during WW1 and WW2.

            This lot are real champagne socialists now and they have no real working class to support anymore because they have , in the last 13 years, destroyed it!!

            They need to rename labour , not ‘next labour’ as dave militwit said but ‘the welfare benefits party’ because that’s the only people they now represent.

      Sadly not. the connection is purely coincidence. The unions claim that they would have funded labour at £10 million a year even without the modernisation fund.

    Having written to my MP, the PM’s office and the Chancellors office demanding this racket was stopped, I am delighted. Now the coalition need to do the other things I demanded, an end to postal voting (except the armed forces serving abroad), removal of the labour biased boundaries and removal of the labour biased bbc license fee.
    This coalition have started well, now they need to get all the other messes that labour caused sorted out.

    Why – as Will Straw seems to believe (20 September 6.49) – is the Heygate Estate “a monument to ConDem failure”? It was built in 1974, long ago acquired a reputation for crime, poverty and deprivation, and is to be demolished in 2010. The Coalition was formed less than five months ago; how can the Heygate Estate be anyone’s failure but that of Labour who have had 13 years to fix it?

    Here is the embargoed text of Ed Milliband’s victory speech

    “Comrades,

    I owe this voctory to my great friends Gordon Brown, Charlie Wheelan and the Big Trade Unions. Thank you.

    As you knwo, I was Chairman of Gordon Brown’s Council of Economic Advisers when we decided to establish “light touch” regulation of the banks. That was a joint decision of Gordon brown, Ed Balls and myself. As you know, that greated the greatest explosion of uncontrolled credit and debt in British history.

    When it all fell apart, we then saved the world by nationalising the Banks, comrades, a great leap forward on the path to Sociialism and control, and let the annual defiti esplode to stop a resicession caused by excessive debt.

    We also doubled the national debt which will have to be paid off by our children. But we do not need to mention that to theml either.

    I was then the saviour of the world because I believe all the data coming from the United Nations about climate change which turned out to be false. That gave me the opportunity to say how necessary it is to make sure that the data on which decisions are made is correct.

    Finally, I wrote the Labour Manifesto for 2010 and, as you know, I have recently trashed it because it was inapproproate.

    Only fools do not change their minds you see.

    On this basis, we wil ride the wave of global Socialism, increase debt for ur children and save the world again.

    Thank you”

    Will you follow me
    All the days and nights
    That we know will be
    I will stay with you
    Will you stay with me
    Just one single tear
    In each passing year

    Latest idiotic comment from BBC reporter – said in very VERY excited tone – “The next Labour leader could very quickly be Prime Minister when the Coalition collapses” subtext – and we at the BBC are doing our very best to undermine the Coalition and “gulp – pause – gulp” – Radio 4 broadcasting early at 4.30 tomorrow evening to cover this “exciting” event. Quislings!

        The BBC will eventually get the chop when it finally dawns on government that state run broadcasting, run by an ultra left wing clique who detest everything that the real working class people of this country stand for,does not deserve £3 billion a year to pump out a few costume dramas,a couple of soaps,unfunny, vulgar new wave comedy shows complete with canned laughter who attack anyone but Labour and the odd token downmarket reality tv show.
        The BBC is respected and loved by the Public? what a sick joke that is.
        If Cameron gave us a referendum on the license fee tomorrow Mark bloody Thompson and the rest of his loathsome followers would all be looking for a job and we could lop off another 3 billion of Brown’s debt.

    Oh the irony , a sale is taking place of Lehmans Bros fixtures and fittings to include art works , books and some nice lines in antique tableware , the sale is expected to raise just 0.0003% of what is owed . The stainless steel corporate sign must be a higlight at exp 3k , however the ruins opening plaque is also up for grabs which is perhaps priceless ! assuming it has been cleansed of jonah effect BOE should buy it as a curio to show visiting financiers

    Radio Tomes Supplement says:

    There will be a change to our programming this evening as the Labour Party announces the results of its Leadership Election. Viewers will appreciate that this is an event of national importance. Our team of reporters and political journalists will be reporting from around the country as we get peoples first reactions to the decision and how important they regard it in fighting the cuts imposed by the Tory Coalition

    Later there will be a News Special giving the background to the new leader and later there will a live studio debate in front of a specially selected audience of Labour Voters;Activists,Union Leaders andLabour Politicians who will give their views on the result and the strategy for the coming months to re-vitalise Labour and fight the stringent cuts being imposed and the risks to the recovery if they are allowed to go ahead unchallenged.

    according to the BBC, Douglas Alexander said:
    “One of the most heartening aspects is not just the civility of this campaign, but also that during it 32,000 more people have chosen to join the Labour Party.”

    so that explains where all those votes for ed milliband has come from; 32,000 new labour “supporters” have appeared from nowhere and voted for the most likely candidate that’ll destroy the chances of labour in the next election by trying to get an extreme lefty elected.

    I’m wondering if the tory party got loads of their supporters to sign-up to the labour party to help steer their leader vote to the person most likely to stop labour from being elected again.

    If they did; yay! nice one! looks like it might have worked! (time will tell in a few hours from now)

Norman Tebbit has a humble brag:

“We Maastricht rebels were derided and abused for opposing the single currency by the wise, clever, Guardianista soft centre left establishment from whom we now hear so little on the matter.”



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
