William, It Was Really Nothing
The only sitting MP to have been found guilty of breaking the Representation of the Peoples Act, Labour’s Kerry McCarthy, thought she was being funny when she highlighted that Morrissey and his old band mate Johnny Marr want to “ban” Dave from listening to The Smiths. A blatant test to see if he was a fan and the PM managed to reply with two song names. Obviously he went with“This Charming Man”, being the song that people who have never even heard of The Smiths have heard, however Guido wonders whether Dave really should have chosen, in reference to Hague, “William, It Was Really Nothing”. Was it the only other song he could think of?
Any Smiths fan could tell you the song is about trying to persuade a friend not to waste his life by getting married to someone for all the wrong reasons. Awkward…
Most people grew out of The Smiths in the early 1980s.
I did when i commited suicide.
If Kerry is absurd then Dave proved himself just as absurd and cringeworthy.
I played my Smiths records backwards and a voice told me not to kill myself.
If you watch Partick Thistle, doesn’t a voice tell you to kill yourself at full time every match?
BTW, is that corrugated iron stand still there?
Who on earth are the Smiths?
Fuck knows and fuck cares.
I remember when Cameron was touring the country in the tory leadership election 5 years ago. A reporter from North West tonight spent a week with Cameron on the tour during this time. He managed to grap quick interviews with Cameron in-between appearances and meetings and during one, he asked Cameron what his favourite band was and without missing a beat Cameron said the Smiths and they both started reciting lyrics of several Smiths songs to each other.
If Dave is not genuinely a fan of the Smiths, then he did a very good impression of one.
Most people never grew into them in the first place.
Hear, hear.
I did, i loved The Smiths when i was a spotty teenager in the 80′s, still got all their albums on vinyl. Between the ages of 12 and 16, i wasn’t at all political so i didn’t really care what the lyrics meant.
Morrissey is a sublime song writer, it’s just a shame when he opens his mouth to voice an opinion.
Who the fuck is Morrisey?
A socialist multi-millionaire, like Billy Bragg and Paul Weller.
I prefer Walkers
they donly have that little bag in the packet.
A good stage performer who turns into a whining mong between tunes.
A sanctimonious twat revered by those of non-independent thought. File him next to Billy Bragg. And then forget about him.
..and The Clash
G G Allin is God!!!
Irish blood, English heart, this I’m made of
There is no-one on earth I’m afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me
I’ve been dreaming of a time when
To be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag not feeling
Shameful, racist or partial
Irish blood, English heart, this I’m made of
There is no-one on earth I’m afraid of
And I will die with both my hands untied
I’ve been dreaming of a time when
The English are sick to death of Labour
And Tories, and spit upon the name of Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line that still salute him
And will salute him forever
Thats who he is. Fair play to him.
Hmmm…. before they released their first album?
Ed was pathetic today. Resorting to a joke about the Bullingdon Club shows how desperate he’s got. Clueless twat. It may have pleased the Labour MPs but it won’t save his floundering leadership.
Like Dave said an opportunistic student politician,well anyway that’s what he looked like.
Tories must want to keep him though. Could require some work to shore up his position. Postman Twat seems to be lining himself up but complicated, complicated.
YES!!! we’re already back to the “Dave was shit on purpose” excuses.
Keeping his powder dry was he? ROFL!!
Ed Miliband is still shit
Yes, yes, Dave was shit !! By complete contwast I came acwoss as a political
colostomycolossus.You’ll understand one day when you grow up.
Dave is still shit too.
Cameron has to tread a fine line between humiliating him and obliterating him – the first will help to assert ConDem (hopefully the Conservative element) supremacy, the latter will probably motivate Ed’s army to try to replace him earlier.
yes it was DELIBERATE
Dave is always DELIBERATELY shite
like in the election campaign
I doubt very much Cameron gives a fig about who leads that bunch of discredited useless tosspots.
Oops.
As for Kerry McCarthy – she should bugger off to Somalia, sorry, Bristol East and stay there.
And another thing: Dave’s spot on for not listening to The Smiths, although he could’ve used Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now.
or panic
I’m sure her postal voters were very happy that when she got the opportunity to ask the PM a searching question about a relevant topic she didn’t let them down.
Was she trying to think outside the envelope?
Put her stamp on things. Second class.
Shouldn’t you lot be out shovelling snow?

And before you ask I did my road last Friday.
Why did you and everyone else in your party let a psychopathic bully with asperger’s become an unelected PM? Just curious.
Go and clear the snow from the roads in Kirkcaldy and then I’ll tell you!
I haven’t got Athberger’s thyndrome.
Aspergers have trouble with telling lies.
Malignant Narcissists do not.
parrots don’t
parrots don’t
SQUWAAAARRRKK!!! (shuffle) SSPLOOOOSSSHH!!! (shake)
The Trouble with aspies is they firmly believe things that might well be bollocks. And extremely upset when they start to discover its bollocks.
The Stones and Genesis were better than The Smiths anyway.
That was supposed to be a reply to another comment. Posts getting detached again.
Different generation really.
But not as good as Queen .
Queen were shite! Sorry, they still are, especially with that poodle headed fucking spastic Brian (think of the foxes) May.
What a c*nt he is…..!
Is that the rock star with a PhD in Astronomy?
He ceased being a ‘rock star’ in 1979, since then he just been a fucking twat. And yes, he does have a PhD in Astronomy, something he never fails to regale when being interviewed.
Better for what? Rock’n'rolling, or affirming the narcissism of one’s own miserablism?
Shouldn’t you labour boys be out shovelling more shit?

I got the staff to do the drive, we dont really have a”road” as such.
I suspect that CCHQ are currently instructing Philip Hammond and staff as to how to use a shovel for the forthcoming photo op.
Guido, please stop banging on about Hauge. You are being so daft and we’re fed up of this pettiness. Thank you!
I second that. It’s moronic, childish and devalues your work.
You new here? ‘Devalues your work’ ah, lovely, a completely misplaced compliment!!
Devaluing politicians is Guido’s work.
The easiest job in the world.
Talking about devalued politicians. Here is the one of the best demolition jobs ever done.
Who is this Hauge? Have we heard of him? Should we have heard of him?
I enjoy the daft pettiness Guido provides. If you want to be sensible all the time, why not go and read the tractor statistics on Labour List?
..or The Telegraph *yawn*
Keep banging on me Hague!! Ooooooooooh!
Guido did miss out on an opportunity.
Morrisey’s song to “William” was about a friendship that was short lived and probably intense. “Man-crush” might be the expression.
I am sure Ffion had plenty of alternative choices in her life. I would have joined the queue for a start!
Isn’t she delightfully bummable.
Does she have a front-loader too ?
If you mean a jizztrap the answer is yes.
She may have, but no point asking Bily Boy.
I dunno about bummable, fanciable more like it. AIUI she had a “lively” career at university (from something I saw on Usenet years ago, so it may not be true).
Cameron handled Dromey’s moronic question brilliantly. Even Jack Harman had to smile at the all women’s shortlist joke.
The cross-dressing reference was the highlight of the whole charade IMO.
Bitch !
Agreed wholeheartedly, Dromey is a Class 1 Hypocrite and an Ugly Cnut to boot!!
Interesting that Al-Beeba conceded that the exchange….. “That raises a few laughs.”
Bit underwhelming as usual as the entire Gov Benches erupted and I should imagine the majority of listeners/viewers!!!
WTF!!!
Johnny Marr thought Morrisey was a cun’t. That’s good enough for me.
Didn’t he used to take copious amounts of skag.
Isn’t Morrissey the one who’s always telling the Asians to “go home”?
No, that’s Hart’s Estate Agents
That’s the one. “England for the English”, was one of his songs.
British jobs for British workers !!!
Lol. More or less.
Actually, it’s one of the few on which I agree with Morrisey. Multiculturalism was foisted on the white working class without their being asked. As a result it destroyed a distinctive culture.
This is why whenever I hear lefty middle class types banging on in favour of immigration it grates. Until very recently it didn’t have any impact on their lives other than making sure they could afford a child minder. More recently, since Labour let the immigration genie out of the bottle, it’s started impacting on the public services the lefty middle class use and as a result it’s now a “valid election issue”.
Although there is something slightly unpleasant about Morrisey’s take on it, you get the feeling he isn’t just worried about social cohesion.
I find this quote from a Times interview particularly amusing:
“The pop star, originally from Manchester, suggested that immigration was one of the reasons he would not move from his American home back to Britain. ”
So he laments the loss of British culture but chooses to live in another country where there is not British culture? Yeah, that makes sense.
He hates immigrants so much, he became one?
Precisely.
But then we all know lefties are in to self loathing.
In other words, he lives in a wealthy, white gated community.
Let me:
In other words, he lives in a wealthy, white, gated community.
Lives in a white gated community….
Some of us socialists own TEN houses.
Oh dear , Or maybe it was just a fuck yp ???

Could have been worse (better): English Blood, Irish Heart.
Just had a thought , What happens when Dave has a reshuffle ? There aint to many lib dems that are good enough for goverment posts .
There aint to many Tories.
“Ain’t” and “too”.
It’s not difficult.
It is two difficult.
Definitely no ‘Cross the Floor’ untainted candidates!!
You gotta know when to hold em and when to fold them.
There aren’t any Libdems good enough for government posts!
But that’s OK, because there are no Conservative or Labour MPs good enough, either.
Say what you like, I still prefered a decent rope and drop to a post and firing squad. So much less labour intensive.
You’ve got me wondering what the least labour-intensive form of execution would be for all our MPs. I’ve come up with: chaining them to a wall and leaving them to die.
Lock them all up in a big cell with two sledgehammers.The winner is the one alive at the end. Then we kill him/her.
My method is foolproof but a little messy.
Perhaps there is something to be said for not having any.
After all health, education, and welfare are undergoing massive changes I would imagine the ministers would be best left in place.
When should Ed resign? How soon is now?

What difference does it make?
Yeasterday !

You’re only PM as long as I keep you there Dave.
Now bend over as you deserve a bully-ramming since I got the blame for the Fees shambles.
Get over it, Guido. It looks pathetic to keep banging on about Hague’s alleged homosexuality (which appears to be utter bollocks), and also makes you seem like you’re trying to justify yourself.

Assange: Guido Speaks Out.
Coming soon…..
Dont hold your breath while waiting . . .
“Obviously he went with“This Charming Man”, being the song that people who have never even heard of The Smiths have heard,”
Nope, give us a clue.
That put this charming mans girlfriend in a coma.
I’d never heard that before. I’m glad I hadn’t.
Could hardly hear a word. Is that the idea now? Lots of noise, inaudible lyrics.
Why pamper life’s complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
I gave Cameron a sound thrashing in PMQ today.
Furthermore, all those who think Cameron is laying off me because I am so dreadful and he doesn’t want Liebour to get rid of me had better watch out.
The dire man is here to stay and he’s turning up the bollocks !
I’ll be cooking goose at Christmas, Ed, for a number of senior Party colleagues.
No, you’re not invited but we may decide that your goose is already cooked.
Who is on the all women short list to carve the goose?
Is it a women only sort list? One where exceptions can be made?
There won’t be a queue to goose that cook.
He’s keeping his powder dry.
Again.
Like he did all through the election campaign.
And failed to win a majority.
That is correct. I won the General Election.
wot iz a coalition
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrr??? ???
It means you go, Dave goes.
And then Ed cums?
(I’ll get my coat)
You’ve misspelled ‘Labour’ as ‘Liebour’ there.
Good times for a change. Sigh!
Today i will be a table lamp .

I bumped into William at a party once …..
Are you anti-gay or anti tory ?
calm down dear! it’s only a closet gay
In a closet with a glory hole would explain the bitterness towards gays.

Errrrrr… I think poor old Dave and Nick took a bit of a pasting
Get Moz track
“Margaret on the Guilotine”
Morrisey hates McCarthy, she eats too many bacon rolls.
I don’t know the name of anything by the Smiths, nor have I knowingly heard anything by them. Or heard OF anything by them.
More of a K**t and the Gang man, are we?
Got the xmas job working in the grotto at the Kelty shopping center performing as my alter ego: Santa Claus, all the kids will get the same present from my copious sack, a copy of Beyond the Crash.

Everday is like Sunday
Politics today appears all very grubby,it wasn’t always that way.
There is a light that never goes out. Unless you time travel back to ’70s when strikes and power cuts were rife under Labour!
I’d advise Cock Head to stop talking about The Smiths… Total mine field
Strangeways, Here We ( DON’T ) Come
Shop lifters of the world unite ( don’t worry community sentence only )
Nothing wrong with Smiths. They stock an excellent range of stationery, newspapers and magazines.
They’re a bit expensive. I got a 2011 diary for much less money at an independent stationers.
How about..
Panic
I know it’s over
Suffer little children
What Difference Does it Make?
For weeks now Red Ed has been shit at PMQs but you would not have known this from BBC news . This week he comes up with a Bullingdon Joke and of course the BBC make PMQs their number 1 headline.
Having said that Nick Robinson’s Blog is quite good at taking the Piss out of all three parties as every one of them has done a complete U turn on Tuition fees. The difference between being in power and opposition.

Did you like my jokes I wrote for Ed? Aren’t I witty?
You’re half right…
Kerry should resign – she looks and acts like a sack of spuds and wastes valuable pmq time asking pathetic questions – the pm should not have to speak to trash like that.
McCarthy take a bow, when you have lost some weight you fat, illiberal, undemocratic, troughing pig!
all gone very quiet about PMQ’s …Oh dear
Elucidate.
They will be talked into doing a useful course. They might be encouraged to spend a year or two doing something else.
That would have been sensible advice anyway.
AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DROP OUT.
About 43% of the population go to university (we could debate whether this is appropriate, but it currently remains a fact). That comes at a cost – universities are not self-funding, especially the ones that find it hard to attract research income from the private sector. Those costs have to be paid. The full cost could be loaded onto the taxpayer (as was the case when a much smaller proportion of the population attended university) or it could be refunded by those who benefit from a university education when they can afford to do so. The first option isn’t possible because the country has spent all the taxpayers’ money (and then some). So it has to be the second.
Simples.
You forgot to mention that the English taxpayers can’t afford to send their students to university because they’re taxes are being used to send Scottish and Welsh students to university. That seems fair.
Not much the Westminster government can do about the decisions of the devolved assemblies, except that if the piss is taken too much, Westminster has the option of making the devolved assemblies raise their own taxes – if they can.
The Scots, in particular, go quiet about independence when that possibility is raised.
Must be a slow day at Fawkes Manor . . .
That joke isn’t funny anymore.
I’m VERY pleased to say that I couldn’t identify any song by any modern pop band.
Obviously I must have heard pop songs as part of the general noise-clutter of everyday life – but to say who is “singing” what – no way.
It’s too close to home and it’s too near the bone
