      Don’t worry Guido. Even if the Plod can’t nail him he can be done under health and safety. That Bin is not only blocking the exit to his office, it is alo a health hazard. Then there is the state of repair of the office doors to be taken into account and the lack signs for fire exits and wheel chair access. If that flaking paint on his office doors is lead based the we can really throw the book at him.

      People have been going on about McShanes antics in The Rotherham Advertiser for quite a while but the majority up here will vote for any lefty foisted upon them.

      Look at the colour on the map after election time.

      Perhaps things will start to change after this but I won’t hold my breath.

      And don’t get me started on Rotherham Council.

    I admire him, using such modest accommodation as an office. Just imagine if the rest of the public sector could abandon their cushy heated offices with carpets and canteens. He should be rewarded!

    It’s particularly nice when sanctimonious twats like him get their come-uppance. Re earlier tweet – next by-election in Rotherham?

    Guess what that fucking lunatic McDoom has called his book? “Beyond The Crash: Overcoming The First Crisis of Globalisation”. What an utterly deluded and typically self-aggrandising title. Complete c u n t.

    • 75
      Johnny says says:

      The first crisis of globalisation would (imo) be either the oil crisis in the 70s or the thrashings and writhings of unionised dockyard labour at the growth in the use of standardised shipping containers.

      You could even argue the changing employment prospects in Britain between the wars and especially after WWII due to the empire nations tooling up their own industries was an earlier and bigger ‘crisis’ caused by globalisation.(A crisis for us in Blightly but not for everyone else)

      So Gordon’s only 30+ years late at least.

    I’m almost speechless. This must rank as an exceptional fraud against taxpayers. I can only hope he is prosecuted but knowing the pathetic and inefficient Met Police I somehow doubt it. I’m sure there are just as many backhanders aimed at some of the top brass in that outfit.

        Ah yes, the bumbling old bill purposefully put themselves in the lawyer’s line of fire then use the incoming as an excuse to execute him. How big of them. Fucking bunch of arsewipe cowards the lot of them.

        There were no other people in the area, just him and plod. Plod had cleared the fucking area FFS.

        I have no respect for the pansies in blue any more. Did you hear that fucking care-in-the-community Sue Sim. She could hardly string a sentence together.

          So answer this one fellow conspiritors. A shotgun has an effective range of, what? 30, 40, 50 metres? A police 9mm automatic machine gun has a range of what 600 metres?

          So with nobody dead and his wife available to plead with him, just stay out of range, let her plead and wait for him to surrender, get hungry, fall asleep, breath in the cs gas from the cannister thrown through the window etc, etc.

          Y’see that’s why I never got a job with the tactical firearms unit!

    The Court of Public Opinion says:

    A string of liebour MP’s being banged up for corruption is the kind of drip drip drip Ed “Union Puppet” Millibands sees as his worst nightmare. Hopefully they’ll be paced nice and evenly so that as one goes down, the next investigation starts up, with the grand prize being Uddin, due sometime next summer. As an outside chance booby bonus, one might even top themselves. We had Margaret “Miss Piggy” yesterday and now this thieving swine. As we know, all these investigations take months, so do sleep well troughers, while you can. We’ll be thinking of you.

    How Cuts Works Under “Call Me Dave”

    The discretionary housing payment, which is paid by councils, will increase in next week’s comprehensive spending review. Sources close to the Department for Work and Pensions said it is also working on a formula that will mean the lion’s share of the fund will focus on London.

    The government already increased the fund from £20 million a year to £60 million by 2012/13. Mayor of London Boris Johnson has been lobbying the government to focus the majority of the DHP on London, which will be worst hit by planned cuts to housing benefit.

    Philippa Roe, cabinet member for housing at Westminster council, said: ‘We have heard that the DHP is going to increase, and we are hoping for as much of the fund as possible.

    ‘We hope that we can use the DHP to make the transition between the current system and the caps so that tenants can arrange alternative accommodation elsewhere before they risk being evicted.’

    A DWP spokeswoman declined to comment before the publication of the spending review.

    Tapestry says:

    Europhile scum getting just desserts at last. Maybe Ed will be attacking from a eurosceptic viewpoint. That would catch out Cameron and Clegg out badly.

    The Coalition is resisting the proposed increase in EU contributions, approving Cash’s Bill. Is this the start of a fight back against the biggest sleaze outfit in the world? It had better be or UKIP will take off from here, and send Conservatives into second place in the EU Parlaimentarian elections. But the bigger threat than that would be if Ed goes eurosceptic first. This is the first sign that he might be about to do so.

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.
