Chuka vs The World

And so it came to pass that a chosen one would emerge. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect and ventured forth to bring light to the world:

Bet they were shaking in their boots…

An obligatory Tip of the Hat to Gerard Baker writing about another breathtakingly arrogant politician.

          I think Chukka is going to be disappointed. What is currently occupying the thoughts of lots of US banksters is the court ruling that says that unless they can produce original mortgage documents for all of the sub-prime stuff they rolled into AAA+ packages and sold to each other, then they have no legal ability to foreclose, and millions of Americans may find that they do indeed own their own homes, mortgage free. I rather hope Cheltenham & Gloucester make the same mistake with my mortgage!

        The main thing that Chuka and Wendy have in common is great big bubbly lips, I think Wendy’s are even more bubbly than Chuka’s. At least he doesn’t wear lipstick, hers is all over the place like someone has hit her !! The bad news is that she like a lot of ‘has been’ MSP’s will be looking to get into Westminster as an MP just like the ugly and ‘moth eaten’ Kathy Jamieson.

            Ah, so you were referring to George Osborne. As far as I am aware, this particular thread does not concern Osborne, yet you felt compelled to mention his name.

            You are entitled to do so, of course, but the fact that you mentioned Osborne in a discussion which in no way involves the Chancellor suggests a degree of derangement on your part. If I am attending a dinner party and the topic of conversation is cheese, I will not, as a rule, start talking about llamas. That would be a very weird thing to do.

            Alternatively, I can only assume you are making some kind of partisan political comment, in which case you should be treated like an idiot child or a senile aunt.

            Now, if you had a reasonably functional brain, you would understand that my original post intended to highlight the absurdity of a 32-year-old employment lawyer thinking he is important enough to give advice to American bankers. I attempted to clarify my point by creating hypothetical situations which were similarly daft. Clearly, I should have added footnotes to aid the hard-of-thinking.

            Comparing 2 politicians who’ve both been over promoted and are in over their heads during a conversation about a politician who’s been over promoted and is in over his head is like comparing Llama’s and Cheese!??!?!

            WTF are you smoking?

            I brought Gideon up as I thought his career was a far more egregious example of over promotion and if you can’t see any correlation between the two then frankly you should pop over to “Have your say” or (preferably) shut the fuck up, there’s a good chap.

            Chuka is a smug precocious twat but at least he brought up Barclays 300 off shore accounts and their ‘interesting’ tax arrangements when grilling Bob Diamond which is something which appears to have not registered on Gideon’s radar.

    The charitable view is that he’s very dedicated to Anglo-Indian relations, and you’ve got to admire dedication in an MP. The uncharitable view is that he is very dedicated to his own relations, who all happen to be Indian, but he doesn’t want to pay for his own holidays.

    I must say I found Obama easier going at the dinner table than dear old Dubya, whose ramblings can be very allusive and hard to follow. Basically Barack justs likes to talk about himself, which always makes conversation easy, but like so many modern politicians he is rather narrowly educated and therefore can be dull. He has a lot in common with Dave, in an odd sort of way, both being intelligent and essentially decent coves, tactically strong but a bit vapid.

    Michelle, though – sharp as a needle and ferociously intelligent! But kind enough to suit her conversation to an old countryman like me. What surprised me most was her fund of extremely non-PC jokes, which I shan’t repeat!

    Heads I win, Tails you lose – How America fell for a decoy

    A recent article in the money section of CNN analyzed how the rich 5% of the American society became immensely rich while sapping prosperity from the tax paying middle class.

    HE had to save the trees, so lumberjack Dave took an axe to the welfare system.

    The ConDems were forced into a U-turn over the sell-off of Britain’s publicly-owned forests by a middle-class revolt spearheaded by celebrities.

    But like the good little upper class Tory twerp that he is, Cameron turned his wrath on the sick, the unemployed and the elderly. Classic Conservative spite, for which millions will pay.

    Only the nasty party could time the announcement of draconian reform of benefits for the unemployed less than 24 hours after revealing record numbers out of work.

    Cuts Cameron called his shake-up of the welfare state “the end of the sick note culture”. The real sickness is in his head. Even the employers admit that little more than 10 per cent of time off work is faked illness.

    With unemployment rising to 2.5 million this week – a million of them young people – the Tory-led government wants to drive 2.5 million off long-term benefits into work over the next four years.

    Let’s get one thing straight: there is nothing wrong with encouraging people to work rather than stay on benefits. Work is always better than the dole, for morale as well as income

    Ton Baldwin says:

    David Cameron will “give head”to Nick Clegg over electoral reform, warning that a ‘no’ vote in May’s referendum will lead to regular hung parliaments.

    As the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister make their first high-profile speeches of the campaign, Mr Cameron will say that a move to the alternative vote (AV) system is the “precisely” what the country needs.

    Does he really think American bankers give a shit about what pple in S’ham and leeds feel about them?

      Very good point. I read Michael Lewis’ The Big Short recently and it was a great insight into the collective mindset of the Investment Banking community.
      I think the most telling revelation was how, pre-credit crunch, a Mexican worker on $ 14,000 p.a. was granted a mortgage of $ 1 million……………………!

      Even Gordon Brown’s moral compass wasn’t that badly mis-calibrated.

      So, I doubt Umumbler’s piety will register on their radar.

    Martin Day says:

    Can the AV referendum be won? If it is, it will be no thanks to this government. Clegg can’t effectively campaign for it and Cameron won’t. In the Downing Street rose garden they promised a new politics, but less than one year on Cameron chooses to stand with the status quo against political change, and Clegg cannot credibly stand for change because of his broken promises. This government can’t deliver change in our politics when Cameron is unwilling and Clegg is unable.

    It’s ‘speaking’ in that context Chuka, old chap.

    However if you were to say “talking bollocks to rich and powerful people who don’t know who I am” that would be correct.

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.
