Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
Focus group time. says:
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Good one !
Gideon Osborne, of course, was the markets’ fourth choice for Chancellor. After Darling, Cable and Ken Clarke. That must have stung, given how much effort he’d put into sucking on their collective cocks.
The only consolation for him is that Ed Balls came even fifth.

I’m not sure that a Reuters survey = “the market” ;o)
Yes, you’re right, obviously that makes all the difference and the financial world had no qualms whatsoever about Gideon as Chancellor. None at all. I take it all back.
The FTSE’s doing OK. So you should pal.
Best chancellor we’ve had for 13 years. No fucking doubt about that.
Balls really was so breathless he sounded like a young lad about to have his first orgasim. Shame he couldn’t finish off what he started.
*orgasm!
Ed Balls suffers from an horrendous stammer (trust him to be fashionable) which means that he can sound breathless when he has to think how to start a sentence with a word which doesn’t trigger his ‘affliction’. It’s part of the breathing control exercises apparently – Gideon should take some advice – it’s easy to trap a stammerer into the most awful attack if you can force them to start a sentence with a word that triggers their problem.
“Yvette!!!” YVETTE!!!!
Gawd! The Labour Trolls are out in force sucking on kock up n Balls. Eurgh!
You mean “Josh”? Anyone called Josh where I grew up in t’North got a fucking good kicking.
That’s an unalterably middle-class socialist name if ever there was one. Public school no doubt and never had a worthwhile job yet, nor any responsibilities.
Hence the expertise in cock sucking.
Poor Balls has a stammer. His real disability is his sums dddo nnnot aadd uup. The man is an economic liability for the country.
No he isn’t – he’ll never get back in. He was, that’s for sure but the disease ain’t the cure.
Mr Balls 1 + 1 = 2. Not more for you and Labour and less for the country.
I+1+1 = 3 homes flipped, thanks to the mug Taxpayers. Kerching !!!!
@smoggie. I should have added, look at the mess Brown, Balls and their henchmen left us in. Proof that he is a liability.
I like to get the bus from the terminus and go to the other end, all the while looking out the window, it gives me a sense of incredible wellbeing. The return journey is even better with a big 79p pack of peanuts. What a beautiful day.
whoever you are guido, you are a steaming ninkumpoop
