Miliband Think Tank Donor’s Tax Shirking
In Ed Miliband’s big speech this morning about the cost of living he said:
The task is to create a more prosperous capitalism…
It seems Ed has been converted to the cause of capitalism since becoming leader, despite having called himself a socialist many times over the course of his leadership campaign. And with talk of a “fairer” capitalism, presumably he meant things like taxing the financial services sector in a “progressive” way?
The Resolution Foundation, the venue for Miliband’s speech, is bankrolled by Clive Cowdery, an insurance tycoon and Labour donor. He spoke alongside Ed today to launch the foundation’s latest report. Cowdery sold Resolution Plc in 2007 for £5 billion, earning himself close to £150 million. As is the way with these things, he has based his company offshore in Guernsey, to minimise tax exposure, like The Guardian does. The company is effectively run from London through the limited liability partnership Resolution Operations LLP, the company made £1,189 million in net profit. If it was domiciled in the UK corporation tax on these profits could have amounted to £333 million. Miliband said:
I want to begin by paying tribute to the work of the Resolution Foundation… Politics today is being conducted in the shadow of the financial crisis: the argument about the deficit and how to return the economy to growth. But what your work is showing is that we cannot settle for a return to business as usual: life before the crisis hit.
That deficit is not helped by Resolution shirking one-third of a billion pounds in taxes. Gordon Brown’s former deputy chief of staff and economic adviser, Gavin Kelly, runs the foundation. So Ed’s call for a new way of doing things was made to friends, donors, tax-shirkers and long-term colleagues…
They are all bent as a 9 pound note and hypocrites.
Being that as it may I shall support Labour because I want a future fair for all and not just the privileged few !!
I’m so glad to have got that off my chest !
We will not pass by on the other side.
Just run over everybody! Makes it fairer I suppose?
More than half of Conservative donors ‘from the City’
The research found the majority of big City donors were hedge fund managers and brokers.
More than half of donations to the Conservative Party last year came from the City of London, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
Firms and individuals donated £11.4m in 2010, the bureau said, bringing the total from the City since David Cameron became leader to more than £42m
So no rank hypocrisy from the Liebour Party then?
All of Labour’s money comes from the Unions. It will be interesting if the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a left-wing front organisation, in the interests of impartiality investigates the finacial affairs of the Labour Party, the now-defunct Smith Institute, and the Guardian Group. I’m not holding my breath.
I have a collection of pinstripes which I never have the need to wear nowadays, thank God. Wonder if Ed would like to buy some?
I am a journalist. I must be, as I have my Home Office Gatekeeper UK Press Card in my wallet!
The BIJ are, in my opinion, a set of money wasting Hunts. They took a good idea and stuffed it, turning it into a pro-Labour shillfest. Utterly useless set of tossers.
Tax-cuts take money out of the economy.
So Colin Firth has got his Oscar, thank fuck at last we won’t have to be subjected to the constant hype surrounding him and the film.
I don’t remember Gordon saying that ?
He said that cutting NI rates took money out of the economy, as if the private sector were not part of the economy?
How many award ceremonies do luvvies have. Seems to have been one a week since the new year? Getting a bit sick of it now.

She’s putting the kettle on. It’s the most useful thing she’s done since she was 18.
This seems like a job for UkUncut!! Have they demonstarted against the Guardian Group yet? I expect they will have.
Karl Marx never paid a penny in tax all his life, though he was well-off enough to afford servants. (To be fair, he often didn’t pay them). Jean-Paul Sartre ‘forgot’ ‘to fill tax returns for years, while urging the French government to spend huge amounts on social welfare. In the end, his mum had to sort it out and pay his tax for him. Lillian Hellman was a serial tax evader. Edmund Wilson was a bird of the same feather. Bertrand Russell liked to paid in cash. The Guardian – well, we all know about that shower.
It’s in their genes.
And this years Oscar for the most outstanding, devious, three faced, sanctimonious, lying pile of shit is awarded to—————————-
Gasp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a draw, Nick Clegg and David Cameron.
Unfortunately Nick and Dave couldn’t be here in person to to collect their award, so i’ll say a few words on their behalf.
FUCK OFF YOU MISERABLE SHOWER OF VOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. Ed2 win with, “Deficit? what deficit?

He gets away with this hypocracy simply because the press, and especially the BBC, will not report it.
The truth is now secondary, and a lie gets half way around the world before the truth gets it’s boots on.
Labour suit the BBC’s agenda. It’s obvious that the BBC are not interested in the license payer, only big salaries.
Extortion funding means organisations exist for the benefit of staff not the “customer”.
It’s easy not to.
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”
“I’m probably the most pro-BBC Conservative leader there’s ever been!”
“I would never do anything to put the BBC at risk”.
David Cameron has hit out at the BBC for whingeing about his Government’s cuts.
The Prime Minister blasted the ‘British Broadcasting Cuts Corporation’
“Don’t pay the fucking BBC”, I don’t fund them!
I’m just explaining the general principle, It applies to the National Death Service too.
Seeing as Dave has reneged/u-turned on most of his policies, let’s hope he does the same with the BBC.
Hello Tat. You projecting again. At least you’ve not mentioned the wonderful Mrs Palin in this post.
Maybe you’ve stopped descending further into your bipolar disorder ?

Did anyone else hear that usual suspect Jim(“when we’ve won the election”)Naughtie giggling on Today last week when the report was made of Cameron complaining about BBC coverage of the cuts?
Cameron has been an utter fool in not dealing with the BBC as a major priority.They will finish him before the next election.And it will be his own fault.
Indeed. He could have given them a year, or even 2 years’ notice that the licence fee is to be scrapped. He’d have been clear by the next election and we’d have been spared paying into the Dimbleby dynasty’s pension fund.
So if people do well and earn an above median salary, the Miliband solution is to make sure that the ones below the median get paid more to catch up with the educated/talented/lucky ones
I always thought that everyone who earned an above median salary would get taxed a bit more and the ones below the median would get taxed a lot more.
So how does Red Ed justify his own million pound plus house?
I think it’s his girlfriend’s – he’s only Roger the Lodger.
Perhaps parliamentary expenses & allowances made a contribution.
WELTHY PEEPLE ARE SCUM. HANG THE RICH BECAUS THEY STEEL THERE MUNEE FROM WORKERS.
Hullo Bob, how’s the gender realignment coming along?
I would suggest he reads some Adam Smith…
Ground-rents are a still more proper subject of taxation than the rent of houses. A tax upon ground-rents would not raise the rents of houses. It would fall altogether upon the owner of the ground-rent, who acts always as a monopolist, and exacts the greatest rent which can be got for the use of his ground. More or less can be got for it according as the competitors happen to be richer or poorer, or can afford to gratify their fancy for a particular spot of ground at a greater or smaller expense. In every country the greatest number of rich competitors is in the capital, and it is there accordingly that the highest ground-rents are always to be found. As the wealth of those competitors would in no respect be increased by a tax upon ground-rents, they would not probably be disposed to pay more for the use of the ground. Whether the tax was to be advanced by the inhabitant, or by the owner of the ground, would be of little importance. The more the inhabitant was obliged to pay for the tax, the less he would incline to pay for the ground; so that the final payment of the tax would fall altogether upon the owner of the ground-rent.
– Adam Smith , The Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter 2, Article I: Taxes upon the Rent of Houses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax
But then he has a million pound house…
I don’t even know how many houses I own.
All the political classes are currently rent-seekers.
So if Ed is a socailist and wants captilisim what the fuck does that make him?
A stupid opportunistic Twat ?
Sounds a good analysis. I could add ‘who is clutching at straws’
… and is a cross-eyed, lisping twerp …
and was not elected by a First-past-the-post vote.
A Trougher.
Socialists are parasites. Without capitalism, socialism doesn’t have any money.
He’s not wrong.
Yep, because under capitalism you’d have got no bailout and no pension. Under your friend Gordo’s Marxism you got a bailout and kept your full pension!
Capitalism = No Bailouts.
Marxism = Reward Failure, punish success.
Yep, because under capitalism you’d have got no bailout and no pension. Under your friend Dubya’s Marxism US bankers got a bailout and kept their full pension!
Capitalism = No Bailouts.
Marxism = Reward Failure, punish success.
Socialism is a mental illness (narcisism + envy + projection), but there is plenty of private tax collected that are proper things for governments to tax instead, and much better ways to return money than the welfare state (i.e. citizens dividends).
Way to go AC1!
AC1 you forgot to change who you were sock puppeting.
Hope you recover your mental health soon.
Like and AC1 and mental health.
I’m, going to have to tell your case worker that your retarded repetition and obsession with imaginary socialists is not going away as they hope.
What’s your point exactly? Scraping the barrel on this one Paul when there are some reallly immensely bigger fish to fry today of all days. No wonder left wing blogs are on the ascendancy when this is all you can come up with.
Really?! Guido did a pretty graph the other week pointing out the polar opposite, but Lefties always see what they want to see.
Left wing blogs are boring shite because they are so predictable.
Don’t tell Richard Murphy.
He will blow a fuse.
Richard “BTL Landlord” Murphy? No chance of that useless parasite discovering economics.
There’s always a loop hole through which these tax-dodgers can slip. They make the rules to ensure that this never changes.
The task is to create a more prosperous capitalism… WTF? That must rank as about the most stupid lefty statement I’ve ever read. Tosser
Sounds unsurprising.
When every western government pretty much tries to “run a capitalist system” with varying degrees of “running” and attempting to do that better.
As opposed to a ‘less prosperous capitalism’?
A more equal poverty.
Stupid? on one level yes, it is a vacuous statement that means nothing. On the other hand, it is a nice little sound-bite that will play well on BBC news.
The lefties may be total twats but they know how to do publicity.
Keep your grubby hands off any levers and don’t invent more you socialist wanker RedEd FFS!
At least Spigel-online still has a mind of it´s own

And here’s me thinking that the Scottish Government freed him??
Silly me!
Having blown up the previous socialist charabanc’s engine – he was one of the mechanics – he is simply saying he needs some capitalists as work horses to attach his bloated and extended socialist state to.
Apart from that, visionary it is not.
What a weak second-rater he is.
I want capitalism to give me lots of money to spend of shiny socialist things, and votes.
Of course, this doesn’t contradict my view that socialism is superior to capitalism in every way.
Don’t blame us, we didn’t vote for him.
Has Red Ed been in a coma for the last thirteen years.
Well he was Gordons Spad, So yes.
3 cheers for the Mayor, Bout time someone exposed the fraud that is global warming.
He’ll be ridiculed until nobody believes him. That’s the way Climate Change works – Hilary told me.
you are not suggesting the left would smear someone?
“If you want to understand climate change, go and see Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth.”
Give us a hug Dave.
That one keeps being totted out by the Trots, change the record already!
Dave said it and still believes it so he is a trot.
Please post a video. I’m sure this time it will bring the coalition down.
I voted for and sincerely hope and pray that Dave is up to the job of putting right the fcuking shambles left by the miserable thieving bunch of sods currently in opposition but the statement “If you want to understand climate change, go and see Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth” is seriously believed by anyone barring a village idiot, tree shagger or left wing politician with a finger in the carbon capture ponzi scheme then we are truly in the shite right up to our necks.
Watch Daily Politics on Wednesday :- Johnnie Ball on climate change scaremongering.
Thanks for the heads up. Johnnie Ball’s enquiring and logical mind is well worth listening too Unfortunately the BBC rarely give him air time these days now that they have decreed that global warming is caused by mankind and mankind alone.
Well done Brillo for sneaking Johnnie under the BBC radar

Worth a read.
Bet he finds himself out in the cold.
The ‘science’ is so strong, we have to fake it.
RetardEd has just let the cat out of the bag, he clearly does not know what science is, or the lack of it behind the biggest fraud on earth.
Yep. There’s no science when there’s no falsifiability and the things they claim to be able to predict with computer models are mathematically impossible (due to exponential error).
It’s a scam.
Like evolution and dinosaurs.

Have you any proof that global warming is man-made, Ed? I only ask because nobody else has, despite the propoganda.
Look poor correlation is causation!
C02 and temperature correlate less well than State borrowing and temperature!
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/02/16/forget-co2-us-debt-causes-warming/
I’m willing to bet Ed Miliband any money he likes that my labrador bitch Yvette knows more about climate science than he does.
Good for Peter Davies. Radiation physics = interesting. Extorting money = scam.
Incidentally, for all Ed’s bleating on this, he refuses to come and meet the local FOE group. Mainly because Doncaster is just a bit too far north for him to bother with.
The thing is this…
CO2 is an insulator.
It’s between us and the heat source.
More insulator = Colder, not warmer…
Not sure about that one, AC1.
CO2 is an insulator mainly for earth’s infra-red emissions rather than for the sun’s UV and visible emissions due to its absorption spectra. See Planck’s law (and test it if you like).
Of course, that doesn’t tell us how much the earth may warm up, if at all, whether there are negative feedbacks in the system, or whether we are merely cancelling out the next ice age.
Its the politics of ‘climate chaos’ (or whatever it is called now) that annoys me. Science is always interesting, when politics free.
Agree Keep science politics free.
But how is it possible these days? science is now the politician’s prostitute.
The whole CO2 causes global warming theme was started and sponsored by the Thatcher government to show how we should do away with coal mining and go nuclear instead.
Funny old world when the present day Labour leader is thumping the tub with Mrs T’s ideas.
My wife has sewn all my trousers so that there is now a ‘no fly zone’.
I have yet to read of a single wealthy socialist who did not try to minimise a tax burden that they then publicly proclaim we should all have to pay.
The socialist mantra remains do as I say and not as I do.
If you elect me, I promise to use chemical and biological weapons against all socialists.
Guns work better and when properly aimed don’t hurt non-marxists.
High training costs, expensive weaponry and takes too much time. Take a line from the Severn Estuary to the Humber and wait for a southerly wind…….think collateral damage.

He appears to have entered into what’s known as the “Gordon Brown level of denial”
Gaddafi says ‘all my people love me’
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi tells the BBC he is loved by all his people and denies there have been any protests in the capital, Tripoli
So What!
You’re proud of this eight minute claim, aren’t you? You made it on the last thread, as well.
It’s not as if you can actually achieve it, though.
8 minutes, impossible. Katya tells me I am the world’s greatest lover and I’m proud if I last for 1 minute.
Mr Bowen has just interviewed Gaddafi who says all of Libya loves him.
To which Mr Bowen replied;”Super, smashing, great.Look at what you could have won! Stay out of the black and into the red, Nothing in this game for two in a bed.”
He’s doing a Gordon Brown: completely out of touch and in denial.
gad afi says to the beeb ‘ all libyan people love me’
Ah that’ll be mandy’s influence. He said yesterday that the gad afi family needed him to advise them how to deal with the media. They’ve obviously taken him on board and are following his advice.
mandy, bliar and nate say – talk about love not war and if you are going to go and shoot up innocent protestors don’t talk about it in the media. !!
I wonder how much gad afi is paying his new spinner in chief?
The Labour Party is suffering from a collective form of Alzheimers. Going round in circles, jumping from one idea to another and forgetful to the point where they fail to relearn the true meaning of hypocrisy. They are making the same errors of judgement over & over again.
Labour is lost and should be consigned to the the loony bin along with Brown and his left wing garbage.
Think Tank! No just the stench of left wing brain rot, that is the best that the two Red ‘Eds can offer. Labour have nothing new to offer so hypocrisy will just have to do.
I have never agreed with Thatchers “not for turning” approach so I’m turning to capitalism, until I turn another way when it suits.

It is diffcult to believe that ALL these Labour are filthy capitalists
And never hesitate to use hedge funds, speciulation and all the most extreme capitalist tools to make themselves rich and use all the tax avoidance schemes in the book
The list of too long to give
While at the sazme time running the biggest Ponzi scheme in British history to buy votes and increase national debt which must be paid off by TAXPAYERS
And then give lessons about how to run the economy
And look after the poor when the gap between rich and poor INCREASED under Labour…
We’ll send the lads round straight away.
You really have to hope that Ed has a ‘naked lunch’ moment in a live tv interview where he actually realized the contradictory crap he’s uttered and apologies on air for being such an utter twat.
We’ve had enough of people going into politics for self aggrandisement.
I will be PM one day.
Think Tank? The only growth Labour can produce is a brain tumour. Brain rot!
Labour voters should not pay tax, Only Tory voters should pay tax as they have more money.
And Tories created the mess we are in.

Hello Tat. You projecting again. At least you’ve not mentioned the woeful Mrs Palin in this post
Maybe you’ve stopped descending further into your bipolar disorder?
No, he is PM because labour lost over one hundred seats at the last election.
No – it would be an affront to too many other cultures; you can’t have have the buggers doing what gays get up to in the bedroom on state visits….hang on…….hmmmmm unless you then sent their dirty sheets to Sally.
Ok you can have a gay PM.
Ted Heath
I like messing about in boats.
OK. Here is the next party game for the next 20 years. Who was worse, Blair or Brown?
Plenty to get pissed over. Conversation will never dry up. And a great excuse if you corner a nice young lady who shows any sign of hesitation: “Whatever I do, it will be nothing to what they did.”
Welll Blair Won three elections ………. Brown……………( As PM)
Stop stealing monikers, Mr Yap
No , Real Billy here .
Post a photo with a paper from today as proof!
Brown by a long way. – screwed the nation’s finances, bled UK forces dry – destroyed RN vessels and capability, fucked up the tax system, presided over Working Family Tax Credits, bloated welfare system, and failed to balance a budget from c. 2003. Add on that he is a serial bogey eater and crap PM with no charm, charisma or purpose other than self advancement.
At least Blair would be someone you would want to talk politics with, Brown is a serial bore and social misfit.
But all the long time that Blair was in charge, he left Brown unattended, piling up woe upon woe for the country, the culmination of which only blew up in all our faces five seconds after Blair was finally prized out of the premiership.
Now it may suit Blair to say that it was all rosy in his time with uninterrupted growth, which did not change until after his watch, but any half careful examination will show that the clusterfuck that started off in the Autumn of 2007 was the obvious result of the economy being steadily undermined in those illusory good times.
Blair appeared blithely oblivious to this, a charge that one could never lay against Margaret Thatcher. He has largely escaped the wrap of allowing the country to be systematically ruined whilst he was massaging his oversized ego as a ham actor premier.
tony doesn’t do politics – no money in it
I supported Tony Blair on Iraq 100%. He was right and it was a great success.
tony bliar took us into the Ir aq war on a lie and a dodgy dossier.
tony bliar took us into the afgh an war
tony bliar made a personal friend of gad afi
tony bliar lied to the hutton inquiry
tony bliar lied to the chilcot inquiry
tony bliar then went on to make loadsamoney out of his unsavoury middle east connections!
Very labour our St Tone!! Great believer in capitalism, especially the sort that benefits him and his unlovely wife!!!
Thats his good points , Now about his bad points……

militwit’s commercial backers keep their funds offshore and avoid tax much like tone, mandy, nate and gaddafi’s other socialist pals.
militwit’s union bosses spend all the funds they get from their duped members on themselves and swanky offices.
meanwhile militwit himself is still desperately trying to find that ‘squeezed middle’ that he thinks he can fool into voting for him next time around. He obviously doesn’t think that the welfare class created by bliar and brown is going to bring in enough of a vote to give him power.
Very interesting Nell
“Last night, Unison said it had borrowed £40 million to fund the new building from its bankers, Unity Trust, but claimed it would repay the loan in three years. The scheme includes 17 social housing units which it has sold for £4.2 million and 30 private flats sold to a landlord for £8 million.”

That makes £247,000 for each “social housing unit
And £266,000 per private flat
All very democratic
And how many sold to family, friends and relations ?
Knowing the Teamsters the whole lot !
And don’t forget all the money that they borrow, they have and they use is paid for by their members!!

It is only on Sunday that qwhat is left of my bunch of cronies at the BBC will listen to me
But I know that I can get my message out through you today
I have told my friend Saif Gaddafi that his spin is “ham handed” and that he should have spoken to me before
You see I deny that he has killed thousands of innocent freedom fighters..It is just the spin that was wrong in his speech…
Just as I deny that New Labour was built on a Ponzi scheme
So I am using your blog as a way of tellling the world the truth
You and Conman Blair are acomplices in crimes against humanity
Stop stealing monikers, Mr Yap.
Ir aq, afghani stan now lib ya whilst mandy and st tone are dragging in £millions from their middle east thug connections.
‘blood on hands’ comes to mind!! And don’t expect it to wash away because it isn’t going to. That sort of dirt sticks for life and beyond.
What I really don’t understand, and what I really think is disgusting, is that bliar still continues to hold the lucrative post of ‘middle east peace envoy’.
He needs kicking into exile and being investigated by the International Crime folk, quite as much as gad afi!!

I believe in “fair capitalism”
That includes of course flogging peerages and speculating through my hedge funds…
Disgraceful!!
Er, I think the whole point is that Ashcroft doesn’t pretend to be a selfless socialist with only the best interests of the workers at heart.
As Alan Partridge once said “Back of the net!”.
Er, if you think Lord Levy is a socialist you are even more stupid than saying FAIL and being so desperate as to prais your own posts already makes you look.
If Ashcroft was such an inspiration to you why did he quit in disgerace you retarded hypocrite ?
Socialists run out of other peoples monikers
And they also seem to think they can see ISP addresses to back their claims, I give praise where praise is due!
It’s in your genes.
Am I not alone in thinking as Gaddafi comes out with ever more ludicrous statements that he is a dead ringer for Gordon Brown?
Gaddaffi aint that bonkers.
Libya has money coming out of it’s ears
And Gordon has wax coming out of his ears.
O/T Guido, Who are you backing in the big game wednesday, England v Ireland Cricket world cup?
Back Ireland Billy if you want some easy cash.
Or we’ll kill your children. Begorrah!
and I’ll fund you

Cheering Ireland. Not betting on them mind you.

Hmm.
I bet valetta is busy with warships tonight. US. UK, Ausi, Canadian et al..
I wonder what’s going on?
I think it’s useful that gad afi’s last hideout, tri poli, is a seaport.
No need to land any troops. Just a few well aimed guided missiles from a few miles out at sea.
Pity mandy, gad afi’s spinner in chief and bliar, gad afi’s apologist, aren’t also being entertained in gad afi’s palace at this moment!!
If the Yanks are there, the widespread collatoral damage may even reach Kensington.
P.S. UK sailors, prepare to duck!
Correction
May reach Hampstead
Kensington is a nice Borough…
Nope the only place here it will reach is primrose hill. Pity that it will destroy militwit’s tax dodging £1million plus home , but there you go!!
Just rewards!!
David Cameron took out maximum taxpayer-funded mortgage – then paid off own £75k loan four months later
David Cameron revealed that he paid off a loan on his London home shortly after taking out a £350,000 taxpayer-funded mortgage on his constituency house.
Dave claimed for expenses on a second home – the mortgage interest, when he only had one mortgage. He was also one of the largest claimers of this expense in the commons for many years.
I am just a little uneasy. The West has always had the power to destroy Gaddafi but it was easier to pander to him. Now that he is in dire straits then the West is tearing him apart.
I suspect double standards here and feel we have let the Libyan people badly down.
Only two weeks ago we were very happy to trade with the Gadafi regime. Only last year we were very happy to accept their money in exchange for degrees, shooting parties and fine London Houses.
That’s politicians for you!
I was gunned down on the streets of London, but did my government hold the perpetrators to account?
DTF!
Did the last Labour government hold the man who authorised the destruction of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie to account?
NO they fucking well did not. Jack traitor Straw praised Gaddafi as a courageous statesman
Read the first line again.
I reckon this one is going to go wrong. Unlike all the other mid East people revolts the Yanks are now getting involved.
Double standards?? That’ll be our St Tone, Held of the LSE , mandy and brown.
Apparently they have travelled into libya, or talked to gad afi regularly, as recently as a week ago !
Of course that doesn’t cover people like tone’s and mandy’s pals , nate and jacob. No doubt they are scrambling about trying to save gad afi investments from the worldwide embargo being imposed.
Bet they’ll manage it too!! Unless the coalition and the US clamp down really hard!!
I do hope so!

Did you ever know that you’re my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
’cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
By the by.
St Tone, mandy, madasahatterbrown, straw, nate and jacob and the LSE are now pariah’s on the world stage for convincing gad afi that he is invincible and can do anything including kill off the people of libya.
So I really hope that the US and the EU and the rest of the world is going to isolate and taint them, the same way that they are isolating the gad afi clan.
If you can, catch the channel 4 despatches progamme on 4+1.
Try not to cry into your dinner.
Without any trace of irony Chuka Umunna says…
“We’ve had enough of people going into politics for self-aggrandisement.”
They’ve actually said this.
Iran is threatening to boycott next year’s Olympics in London because, it claims, the logo of the 2012 games conceals the word “Z*on”.
In a letter to Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, Iran’s Olympic officials said the jagged logo, unveiled four years ago, undermined Olympic values by being r*cist, and must be changed.
That, and the fact Iran won’t exist in 2012.
……and there was me thinking the design (highly ridiculed when it first appeared) represented somebody get a BJ from somebody else. Silly me.
bloody hell – modernised again. the bodmot is working overtime at the moment
Er… Sorry to be a bit of a downer while you’re all enjoying yourself, but i think you had better have read of this.
http://www.debtbombshell.com/
That’s why I’ve increased foreign aid to £11bn per year, and I’m happy to give the EU £8bn per year.
What what, toodle pip.
Indian space programmes and nuclear facilities don’t fund themselves after all.
Just a thought.
What is militwit’s view on lib ya and bliar’s and mandy’s intervention on behalf of the gadafi family this week?
Or should I re-phrase that and ask what is balls and the unions view on bliar’s and mandy’s intervention on behalf of the gad afi family this week?!!
After all, militwit is just the stooge in the labour party now isn’t he!
Stooges are good, nell!
I did have one, but he was useless, so i’ve got a new one now.
Well I hope you don’t think it’s cameron.
Because he has a bite like a corgi. And believe me that hurts!!
One-term wonder Cameron? The compulsive liar?
A useless sack of pro-EU socialist shit. Holding the door open for PM Balls.
What a c’unt.
A useless sack of pro EU socialists…
They really were and they left behind their detritus called baroness ashton!!
Please don’t mention Baroness Ashton.. not this late at night; I don’t want her creeping into my dreams.
I don’t think Militwit is clever/powerful enough to have opinions.
He has SPAds to do that for him.
Well, until the ECHR get involved.
A pity he doesn’t have crimephobia.
A prisoner who suffers social phobia has lost his legal fight to complete his jail term under curfew at home.
The 25-year-old inmate, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is serving a three-year sentence at Lewes Prison in East Sussex.
His lawyers had argued that jail was the “worst possible environment.”
But a judge at the High Court ruled the prison governor’s decision to refuse early release on home detention curfew was lawful.
Perhaps he should have though of that before he committed a crime.
No sympathy.
That’s outrageous! This young man (and all people in prison) should be released at once!
They’re just little scamps, that’s all! Let them run free! And let’s abolish democracy and absorb ourselves into the EU at the same time! Chortle chortle.
I like the way you think.
Phone the Samaritans.
Is that advice to gad afi and his son saif, as they find themselves holed up in
tri poli, with the the sophisticated missiles from four navies out in the med, trained on them, and planning to shoot?!
No Nell. I just read post 234.
We had a navy once. Pretty important to us. But Camoron decided to abolish it so he could afford £11bn p/a in foreign aid.
Don’t just blame DC – Labour decommissioned several warships and wasted money hand over fist. Remember the seven helicopters in a hangar because Geoff Hoon couldn’t order the right part to make the electronic systems work?
Thought not.
Remember the £11bn in foreign aid? The £8bn to the EU?
Dave pissing our money away whilst scrapping our defences?
Thought not.
Don’t apologise for Dave. Dave is a c’unt.
You do know how much 18 billion in total government spending?
2.5%
Worrying about that is like worrying about dropping 2p.
Total foreign aid spending would just about cover the pension deficit at Royal mail.
That might be a better spend for it but in reality 2.5% is bugger all.
I wouldn’t mind just 2.5% of that 2.5% ‘bugger all’ in my bank account at the moment, Bill. I have some expenditure coming up. What about we devise a way to filter a bit off and we can split it? They will never miss it …
He’s probably more concerned with his close up and personal supporters, wondering which of them will turn on him first.
Like Timm’s at a weekly surgery.
I do hope Saif Gaddafi comes out of all this alive.
Not because he deserves it after what he has done. But because he will say what New Labour did for MONEY.
If he ever shook hands with Gordon…………..
I’ve never heard of Liby*a.
Neither have I. I don’t know who this colonel is that you all keep talking about.
Must dash to one of my villas now.
No – you must dash to someone else’s villa. You don’t own them Tony, they belong to your rich friends and you just use them as and when you want.
Remember now?
I think you’ll find Liby A is a distant relative of Alky Aida El Gordo!
I read today that bliar and mandy ( and nate and jacob and andy the dodgy royal ) still think they can make him the next leader of lib ya and that he will, as a consequence, make them very wealthy!!
Pity then that it’s said he’s been seen around tripoli touting his kalashnikov and flying about in his 4×4 shooting up unarmed demonstrators in tri poli isn’t it?!
Let’s not be too hasty to judge Saif. Perhaps it’s a cultural thing. We can’t impose our Western values.
I am in the process of considering possibly writing my views upon western values – I have 4 blank pages so far – but I think tony did a good thing ensuring gadaffi got rid of WMD. My friend and advisor tony told me that he was sure it would take more than 45 minutes for gadaffi to use them.
Don’t worry about it. Just make the shit up and get rich.
That’s basically it.
This site wants a final solution for Labour hypocrisy that’s like waterboarding.
You want your throat cutting.
Mr Galliano says he loves H*tler.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3436757/Film-of-John-Gallianos-racist-rant-in-bar.html
That’s ok!
saif, mandy, bliar, broon, the idiot andrew, nate and jacob all think they are superior hitlerian clones.
Bless .They really believe their money can influence a weakened, demented
gad afi into believing that he can entrust libya’s oil revenues to them and they will rescue him from this civl war he has created!
They also think they are then going to personally realise £billions from lib ya’s oil fields.
I do hope that the US, the Uk the EU and the Un are going to prove them wrong and turn them into the pariah’s that they deserve to be!!
Apparently mandy and pals, bliar, straw and broon are just a bit bothered about the world’s navy , targetting missiles onto the tripoli coast in case it might innihilate bliar’s.mandy’s and saif’s vision of world dominance, and of course, their chance to make £billions!!
If that happens there really is a God!!
Cameron backs Blair on Iraq war
Conservative leader David Cameron has said he still believes going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do.
Mr Cameron said “those of us who supported” the military action should “see it through”.
He praised Tony Blair’s reform of the Labour party.
Toilets Maguire on Sky News with left wing Anna Botting doing the paper review. Toilets slagging off the Tories over Libya of course but NOT a mention of the one eyed jock bummer sucking Gaddafi’s shit stained cock to get oil deals and release Megrahi.
Toilets has a bit of a dig at Bliar and Mandy but the one eyed mong was the one who helped get Megrahi released.
More from ‘The end of the Party’
The Blairites considered Ed Miliband about the only member of Brown’s inner circle who wasn’t as mentally unstable as Brown himself.
As a compliment they called him “The Emissary from Plant Fuck”
The Gay of the Triffids?
I’m thoroughly enjoying Rawnsley’s book. I heartily recommend it.
I had forgotten that it was Jack Dromey who pointed the finger at Blair over cash for peerages.
Blair was convinced it was the Hattie/Jacky/Gordy axis of evil that tipped off the papers.
There is a good quote about former shadow PM Michael Howard.
“He once claimed ‘I didn’t go into politics to be liked.’ Which was just as well. Because he wasn’t”
Hello tat! Did you sign on ok today?
Your mind’s gone, but don’t cwy, tat! Your cwippled mind was never worth anything.
Don’t cwy cwippled tat. Don’t cwy.
The Blairites were more stupid than I’d thought. Miliband is clearly more insane than Brown.
Hello tat! Did you sign on ok today?
Your mind’s gone, but don’t cwy, tat! Your cwippled mind was never worth anything.
Don’t cwy, cwippled tat. Don’t cwy.
allo titfer
There is more than one way of interpreting the epithet, “The Emissary from Planet Fuck”.
This, rather earlier, article suggests that it was a reflection of his relative civility, rather than relative mental stability, as compared with the faction he represented.

Am I the only one thinking that the crisis in Libya is being seen by our prime Minister (without mandate from the people) as an opportunity to realise his ambition of becoming a world leader? No reference is being made to the British public, who of course pick up the bill, as to what he’s likely to do. The echoes of Bliar and iraq are familiar but we don’t need or want another fuck up – do we?
We will bomb them in the deserts!
What’s it got to do with you, you had your vote last May now go away and leave the politicons alone, they know better than a some nobody.
These bastards look as if they are taking us into another war ,now the yanks have decided it’s safe to put their toe in the water, this is not an Omaha he’s too weak, the one that’s doing it is that ugly cow Hilary Clinton, watch her on tv lapping up being in the spotlight .
In these circumstances I always go by the wisdom of that statesman and Celtic Chairman Dr John Reid who assured us that when our military went into Afghanistan in 2006 that we would only be there 6 months and exit WITHOUT firing a shot How true those words proved to be !! So I have absolutely no qualms that if we send troops into Libya for “policing” we shall exit Tripoli within 3 months and that the population will be cheering us through the streets as we go as they did in Basra with crowds of ecstatic Libyans chanting “Cameron ! Cameron ! Cameron !”
As everybody knows (Except politicians)
the best way to reunite a divided country is for a foreign power to invade it
Stay Out You Fuckin Clown
Armchair General(Retired), Libya was one of our playgrounds before the upstart Gaddafi spoilt it, after all we won it from the Italians fair and square, the problem our beloved politicians have ,Libya after 40 years of “trade” with various European countries,the archives could be shrewn all over Libya and the media could get hold of them, wouldn’t want than now ,tidiness is next to etc.

This post misses the point entirely. The average working person is being squeezed as a result of the recession and now the Tory austerity measures. The figures speak for themselves. Or has Guido now become the spokesperson for the Tory millionaires at the Cabinet Office?
It is a post about a think-tank funded multi-millionaire by a tax-shirker. What do you think it is about?
The non-historian appears to have missed the point entirely. The average working person is being squeezed as a result of Gordon Brown’s excessive borrowing over a decade, laughably misnamed investment*, which meant we were least well placed to deal with the recession.
*I call buying a pint of Guinness an investment but I do not swallow my propaganda, even though I do the product.
Could someone please explain how Milliband earned his LCP nickname “Poopy?”
