Forsaken
It is a sad new tradition that at the start of PMQs tribute is paid to fallen soldiers. Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, of the First Military Working Dog Regiment, the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, was killed by small arms fire on patrol with his dog in Helmand Province on Tuesday of last week.
His springer spaniel, Theo, suffered a seizure shortly afterwards and died. The British are very sentimental about dogs and combined with the death of young Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, who was flown back from Helmand with Theo, this story touched the hearts of many. On Wednesday at PMQs he was given the customary and deserved tribute by the PM and the leader of the opposition.
The Speaker in this situation often gives priority to the constituency MP of the fallen hero to say a few words of comfort. No such comfort was offered on this occasion. Liam Tasker was born in Kirkcaldy.
Mmmm.. where is he?
Too late now for me to benefit from that sort of opportunity and in any case they will always vote for me here. Before the election I would have paid a fulsome tribute of course.
Do we feel more sorrow for the dog because it did not volunteer to go where there was danger that it night get killed. Or do we feel sorrow for the soldier who volunteered to go out and kill, or help kill, other men?
The dead soldier’s job was detecting IEDs / bombs. He risked his own life to help save others.
You didn’t give that one a lot of thought.
He was aiding and supporting other troops engaged in an illegal war and was therefore guilty of a war crime. Just following orders is not an excuse under international law – not that the UK and US pay any attention to international law unless it suits them.
Another point is that the IEDs wouldn’t be there if the troops weren’t.
the IEDs wouldn’t be there if the troops weren’t.
Priceless!
Goldbug you are masquerading under a false flag – you are a cockroach, exterminate exterminate/
Goldbug you are a publicity stunt, a BBC misprounciation, a berk, a relative of Gareth Hunt.
Afghanistan is legal. Stupid but legal.
Yes I did think it through, smoggles. I also thought that the dog would not have chosen to put itself in the postion of going into a battle zone out of free will. Granted he may well have decided to piss up someones leg but he would not go out thinking of being complicite in potential slaughter. But then surely the soldier did that when he went looking for employment.
GOB SHITE !
Goldbug.
You utter f**king toad.
Serious offer. Get in touch with me via Guido – he’s got both of our ISPs, and certainly my email address.
Do you want me to beat the crap out of the left hand side of your face, or the right hand side? Your choice. Then I’ll do the other.
To make it interesting, I’ll bring 42 silver maples with me. You bring a proper troy ounce of AU: a Britannia, Krugerrand, Maple, AGE, whatever. Winner keeps the lot.
You’re SO butch Ducky! Ha ha ha ha ha ha !
you sad little toryboy weed
What a twat!^^^
you’re not London Muzzbot in disguise are you?
If I dropped a turd in Kirkaldy and stuck a rosette on it the fucking idiots would vote for it.
I can’t lose!!!
If there had been a few more dogs killed during the genocide in Darfur then may be that would have made the front page too.
Bell-ends.
Tell that to the African Union, wasn’t it them that said “African solutions to African problems”?
Still Red Nose Day is just around the corner, also I’m sure Saints Bono and Geldof will be out shaking the collection tin’s and donating a large sum from their meagre (read: Vast) incomes if you ask them nicely!
Brown never cared about our boys and girls,he is such a C_NT.
It may be a silly point i’m making but i cant stand the phrase” boys and girls” when refering to out armed forces.I was brought up hearing on many occasions ..”what those japs did to our boys” etc from my Mother.It still brings a lump to my throat,my father was one of the boys at Dunkirk.Now it’s boys and girls which makes me cringe.I suppose its down to PC.If i was a girl, i think i would much prefer being called a boy as a term of endearment in this context. Oh yeah and Brown is a C_NT
It may seem inappropriate to make political capital out of a soldier’s death, but all of the British soldiers I have ever known wouldn’t begrudge their memory being used as a chisel to cut away at political crap, from either party. I wouldn’t, whether it was John Major who first sent me to war, or Tony Blair who did repeatedly.
On a serious point, is there anything at all that can be done to force Gordon fucking Brown to at the very least act as a normal MP and turn up for work? Motion in the Commons? Stop his pay? Letter writing campaign to all the MSM? Kidnap him in Fife and deliver him to Parliament Square in a transit van?
Still being modded….
eh?
How is your blog doing? Been going a year or two now? Or not?
Hey Guido , Soz to be a stephen Timms , But was there a winner to last weeks caption comp?
Billy Bowden and winner is not a mutally compatible reference.
Pardon?
If Major or Blair sent you to war it was your free choice to have joined the armed forces. You were fed, paid and givem shiny toys to play with. The deal was if necessary you would be sent to some hell hole if the elected government so decided. So stop winging
Down with Brown!
Gordon is a cunτ
It’s a Well known fact that Brown hates our troops
but likes dogs !
Cause he married one !
I think the Mysterons have abducted him and taken him to their planet; that’ll make 3 that he’s lived on! Well – at LEAST 3!!
Twat watch?
You’re slipping Billy. 2nd comment, beaten by a whole minute.
Billy, what happened?? Did you go out of the room to make a cup of tea??
Maybe the constant refreshing of Guido’s ads put Billy over his bandwidth limit
Yeah, I got you there Bill. Maybe I get a prize fror beating you?
Well i aint ever gonna win fuck all lol
Tho i got best line of day or something on pmqs livechat highlights at geeks blog
I’m getting confused by too many Billy’s. The only way I know it’s the real Billy is when it is the first comment, and is normally something like “Hang him!!!!” After that, there are too many wannabee Billys chipping in.
Not sure this is the right way to have a pop at Brown, Guido, much as I despise the man.
I’m not sure its right I’m paying for the inept tw@ and he’s barely done a days work since he got his comeuppance.
He would have know or been advised of the above & still failed to turn up for duty.
If only it was Brown who was in Afghanistan
If he was there, he could have done it. Brown is a piece of sh*t.
Agree. There are many legitimate reasons to pillory Brown, particularly over his economic incompetence. However, one of the few decent things he did do while PM was to write personally to the families of servicemen killed in action – something he didn’t have to do, and he didn’t seek publicity for doing so. He did at least demonstrate some human feeling then, and there’s no reason to suppose he’s lost that human feeling now.
Attack Brown for many things – he thoroughly deserves a good kicking – but not over this.
Not turning up to work for which he is paid, you mean?
Yeah, who cares. Certainly not he scroungers of his impoverished fiefdom.
Yeah, usually in crayon. Tw@t
He didn’t seek publicity? Yeah, right.
It would have been better if he had actually spelt their names properly.
All the staff running around after him and the resources open to him, and he couldn’t even get that right.
Yes – we are absolutely right to hold this poor excuse for a human being to account!
Calculating? You mean miscalculating – all his calculations were awry, including this one.
There is no hard and fast rule that the PM HAS to write to the families of servicemen killed in action. However, the Joint Service Publication that refers to this particular subject gives the option of it being either the Sec Def or the PM. Given we had what, six Sec Defs in three years, no wonder the monocular megalomaniac took it upon himself.
He never gave a fuck about the military from day 1 to the end. If he had, he wouldnt have had the ligature from the treasury around the MOD’s neck for 13 years. And certainly wouldnt have signed off on the carrier deal, which was a complete abomination.
I couldn’t agree more. This young guy’s sacrifice means a lot regardless of who his MP is or how he chooses to conduct himself. It’s wrong to use a tragedy to take a pop in this way.
I would agree if I thought for one minute that Gordon Brown and his team of atrtack dogs wouldn’t have attacked a Tory leader for similar…
Sorry Charles, but I disagree, the only possible mitigating circumstance for Brown not attending PMQs yesterday, and paying tribute to his fallen constituent, would a personal visit to Cpl Tasker’s family. If he didn’t do that, he deserves all the abuse and invective he gets.
What, after the way he has trashed our (not his!) country? ANY way is the right way!!
What a Hunt.
Sorry Guido but on this occasion I’m not with you on using their deaths as another excuse to give Gordon Brown a kicking. Most other things I’d say fire away at him, but writing this on the day they’re repatriated seems opportunist and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Why didn’t you write it on the day of PMQs if you had a point to make?
TNB – I agree with your observation.
As much as I HATE the Fifeshire Feartie, I think you’ve gone too far on this one Guido.
Fallen heroes should be respected not used as some prop for your blog.
Hang your head in shame on this one!
+1
Sorry about the dog too
I found this sad story very moving. It’s not about political opportunism.
The only sympathy Brown ever got from England was when he was writing one of his letters to a bereaved mother and the Sun made fun of his black marker pen ‘blind’ writing and poor spelling.
Backfired badly.
He’d worn out his crayon, you heartless bastard.
I’d like to fire Gordon back to the past, badly. Hopefully he’d arrive in his mother’s womb in a poor enough condition, and early enough, for the Doctor to recommend an abortion.
Yes
+1
If they were’t there – AND they shouldn’t be – then they wouldn’t keep getting killed would they! Der!
Wow, using a soldier’s death to score political points. Classy.
Using Gordon’s usual attitude to the rest of humankind, rather.
In his own words Gordon had nothing for the troops but praise. No body armour, nothing to replace “snatch” land rovers, no chinooks to act as a force multiplier. No hospitals where islamic staff with a grudge would be stopped from threatening wounded soldiers, no treatment for those suffering from combat stress syndrome (except the prison service) no proper recompense for injuries recieved in defence of the realm. Guido is quite right to highlight Brown’s total inadequacy as Chancellor, PM and now MP.

On the subject of the post, What a wanker, He is the C-unt that didnt fund the troops , he signed of the wars (Cheaque wise) , The LEAST he could have done was to say a question that Dave could not have made politcal gain off and actully turn up for work for a fuckin change!!!!!
The money-grabbing, celebrity-arse-licking tosser who saved the Scottish wanker’s skin, Lord Mandelscum, is on Newsnight again. When he arrived at the Beeb, he entered along a back passage.
isn’t it about time the british people demanded an end to the secrecy of the state and the ability of the very rich to bring legal barriers preventing exposure of their tiresome lives?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/8373535/Sir-Fred-Goodwin-former-RBS-chief-obtains-super-injunction.html
it is the public that pays for all of this nonesense and it is the public who is denied access to it – changing the voting system will not change parliamentary culture, inbred as it is.
Agreed, these super injunctions seem to be a nice little earner for m’learned friends a nice little sideline which has crept in under our noses.
Sounds like another gravy train which needs to be put under the microscope.

This man was brave and unselfish.
Fred Goodwin is a banker.
I support the first sentence but strongly object to the second! Fred Goodwin was NOT a banker. He was an accountant who stepped sideways into a bank during the longest period of growth in European and World history. He never experienced a recession in the industry until his bank went bust in any conventional understanding of the term. So he was manifestly incapable of curing the omnishambles that he had helped to create. Only a decade earlier and he would have been deemed unsuitable for the post through lack of experience.
Apologies. Having now seen the news about the super-injunction, I feel the issue could have been resolved by the media and others calling him a pseudo-banker or a faux-banker. Both more accurate and abiding by the injunction.
Even more accurately, an ex-pseudo-banker or ex-faux-banker, still profiting greatly from his involvement with banks.
Agree, Engineer. My original reply to Sir William has been held up by a points failure at Effingham Junction.
To be fair the injunction is only pointing out the obvious in that Fred Goodwin as his record shows,clearly not ,nor ever has been a Banker. He is a fraud and a charlatan an in competent c unt who should never be let near a withdrawal slip never mind the directorship of any financial institution.
The guy was a prick who conned a gullible and equally thick board of directors and a Political class full of arse holes .
So , no , the statement is true Banker my arse !
Fortunately for Gordon, Sarah managed to tweet for the whole Brown family in her message to RAVC officers:
Twitter is for twats, Dave was right.
On expenses?
Up the workers
Fuck the workers! After all that Gordon did for them it just seems nothings too good for them, let them eat cake!
No anchovy sandwich then?
Or perhaps Pussy Pie?
British Jobs For British Workers, the more killed so third world scum can replace them the better.
IMO this is a legitimate topic for debate/criticism – L/C Tasker died a week ago, Brown couldn’t be unaware of the tradition of naming the dead at PMQs – the last Labour government started it.
He should have been there – but he wasn’t.
Absolutely. A little more respect would have been appropriate.
Totally agree, the least Brown could have done was turn up to do the job he is paid for. He has no respect. It is completely legitimate to highlight Brown’s failing.
Why would anyone expect McDoom to turn up at the hoc? He made a speciality of always being missing when there was anything that he should have stood up and been accountable for. Surely you remember how he went to ground whenever courage to face up to the situation was required. Same Brown same piece of shit.
If Obama was there he would have turned up to honour our war dead.
Obama is part of the 5-25-45 group think.
The USA has 5% of the worlds population; 25% of the world’s oil consumption; 45% of the world’s military spending.
Of course you have to honour your dead. Your car wouldn’t run otherwise
Claps
…and 25% of world GDP.
@13eastie. We will eat cake and think of all your young charges!? Well I hope they choke on it. Good grief! Un-bloody-acceptable.
Brown would have been told that the man had been a constituent of his. He would also have known the convention about the local MP being called to ask a question at PMQs, he was PM after all. Can’t blame Guido for asking where he was. I’m sure many people would like to know, myself included.
The man’s a disgrace!
+1
+99
+ a hell of a lot more. I don’t think this political points scoring over the death of a soldier at all. I think we deserve an explanation as to why a man who stood at the dispatch box as ‘leader’ of this nation saying that he was “100% behind our armed forces” on many occasions, couldn’t be bothered to turn up as the tradition he created dictates.
Of course, one of the only times he could be bothered to turn up was to gloat about the fact that the aircraft carriers we can no longer afford to put planes on where still going to be built in his constituency due to uncancelable contracts put in place by…. let me see now…. HIM.
In any reasonable country he would be locked up by now. The fact that large numbers of people thought that he re-electing him was a good idea just goes to show how screwed this country is.
Brilliant!
Poor guy. Poor pup
Such a waste, our brave men and women have shown more courage than any of our “political elite” put together.
Shame the troops aren’t in Bradford, Leeds, Manchester and Luton where the terrorists truly are.
+Several!
I can’t place his accent. Either he’s foreign or has a strange way of enunciating.
That’s a taxpayer’s accent if I never heard one.
“They make millyens and millyens a year from the British publick”.
Definitely German / Dutch hybrid.
The idiots are actually arguing for higher unemployment and higher prices and do not realise what they are effectively doing. UKunc un’ts are economically dysfunctional, so is the imbecile ‘interviewing’ them.
He’s got an unalterably middle class accent (clearly an ex-public schoolboy) which he tries to disguise wiv a bih o’ glottal an’ a bih o’ Brixton innit.
In his first sentence or so, he actually sounds like Cameron, as he struggles to introduce a bih o’ Estuary.
Faux patois?
Useful legumes.
On reflection, just legumes.
Has anyone asked these vociferous UK Uncut people how much tax they themselves have actually paid?
(or, given that many of them can barely string a coherent sentence together, how much tax they are ever likely to pay)
You don’t pay tax, the state extorts tax.
With menaces, AC1.
Taxation is legalised theft
I love the way he says ‘they employ members of the British public’ as if it were a bad thing.
Who then all contribute to the exchequer by paying income tax. We’re not talking galley slaves here, innit bro.
I rather think of it as being fined for doing things that are economically valued.
I was busy having a jobby in Killkiddies.
RIP Liam and Theo.
Don’t speak ill of the dead weight, fake Billy.
Kidnap Nick Clegg?
Hahahahaha
Who’s going to pay the ransom. Dave?
No the EU… he’s like a Roman governor exiled amongst the savages for 5 years to keep the natives in check.
Meanwhile get this (about halfway along the dial) From James Delingpole’s Telegraph blog:

More likely the LibDumbs would kidnap Clegg, then threaten to release him unless we paid up.

I missed him. They found the bullet in the stonework.
Anyone thing that Sarah’s body laanguage is saying: ” Sad fecker he actually believes all this shite”
If they’d kidnapped him before the election the Guardian would have paid a council leaders’ salary or more, to get him back.

Personally, I don’t like the names of the soldiers being read out, it’s not appropriate in my view.
Bliar did it to cut down on the kicking he got in PMQ’s and the one eyed retard followed it on. I’d rather see Cameron stop it.
Heres one way to stop it.
After Cameron reads out the names of the dead soldiers, and tells the house solemnly that they will never be forgotten, an MP should ask him to put down his piece of paper and repeat the names.
See? Forgotten already.
Its a mawkish sham
I agree with you QWERTY. I would be very surprised if anyone believes a single word uttered by politicians these days, and therefore this practice – in my book at least – rings very hollow indeed. I just can’t get away from the impression that this is just another empty and meaningless gesture. And it was particularly sickening when it came from the party that sent our people out ill-equipped and ill-prepared.
There has to be a way of publicly recognising the sacrifice of our servicemen and women, but at the moment I really don’t think this is it.
They could turn up at Wooten Basset to honor the returning dead but that would involve a bit of effort and time.
A quick roll call at PMQs is the equivalent of couldn’t be bothered.
+1
Yes, the House of Commons is a place of hollow words and broken promises and outright lies and corruption. To read out the names of the soldiers there is just wrong.
I wouldn’t want them at Wootton Bassett either, they’d have to disinfect the place afterwards. Perhaps Prince William or Harry yes, but scum politicians who really don’t care, no thanks.
It wouldn’t hurt him to meet the coffin at the airport either. Very disrespectful of him not to do that, at the very least.
And they’re already planning to stop the Wootton Bassett events by moving the body-landings to Brize Norton asap……..once that’s again become ‘secret’, they can start to get away with not naming at PMQs.
I wrote to Dave suggesting that a cabinet minister attended every repatriation of dead and wounded from Afghanistan to show the difference between the Looting Parteh and the Coalition. Didn’t get even an acknowledgement.
Write to him and tell him to fuck off. Write to Brown too , with the same message.
In my opinion 1 minute’s silence would be far more appropriate.
Agree. Their words are insincere and politically motivated. Like just about every other person in the country they realise that the soldiers were mostly doing the job they volunteered and were paid for.
In return for which they expected to be properly equipped and paid. The military covenant is the respect the country should show to those who are prepared to risk their lives.It has been miserably ignored by this excuse for a government.
No, not THIS government. The LAST government.
The biggest, regularly trotted out lie in the HOC is that ‘his family are in our thoughts’. Are they hell. Do they ever actually ask who his family is, how many kids? It’s an utterly hollow, meaningless cliche. Bastards.
Yes, Brown is a nasty piece of work, possibly the most unloved pol since Mugabe. Calling the roll of our fallen by the PM at PMQs is right and proper.
I do, though, look forward with dread each autumn to the utterly nauseating spectacle of MPs scrambling to be the first to wear a poppy in public.
“I do, though, look forward with dread each autumn to the utterly nauseating spectacle of MPs scrambling to be the first to wear a poppy in public.”
What is even worse is seeing these squalid people lined up at the Cenotaph – our ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ politicians who are only there because they have to be. None of them now appear to have ever put on a uniform and done something really dangerous or worthwhile. Indeed, some of them privately despise our armed forces.
‘Nauseating’ just about sums it up. Our political class, eh? Just a bunch of hypocritical Hoons.
Not quite fair. There is a sprinkling of MP’s in both the Tory and the Looting party who have seen military service both as regulars and as terriers. I don’t think that the Lib Dems since Paddy Ashdown see military service as a core LibDem value.
with Ashdown it’s always been more about self service, useless old fucker
Nothing wrong with holding a MP to account – just one question though Guildo you state that Liam Tasker was born in Kirkcaldy but where did he live and vote?
If that too was Kirkcaldy then I think you are bang on to highlight that Bastard Brown
Was he old enough to vote? Did he get the chance?
” No such comfort was offered on this occasion.”
It’s what Liam Tasker’s (RIP) family would have wanted, Guido.
Gordon is so busy pushing his book, and settling into his new job, that he can’t spare the time to pay tribute to anyone.
He needs sho*ting.
The soldier and his dog were bigots. I am an intellectual giant.
Tonight’s QT panel is just dire. OK, more dire than usual.
Michael Moore (the MP, not the filmmaker), Douglas Alexander, Annabel Goldie, Patrick Harvie MSP, Nicola Sturgeon, and Nick Ferrari.
These are my guesses for the questions.
1. Should there be a no fly zone? will it be more effective than the SAS diplomat cockup
2. Pensions, final salary and the public/private civil war?
3. Will lung cancer be eliminated now packets are not on view?
4. Free shares for all. Is this move a lifeline for liberals to claw back some votes.
5. Old Firm game policing and sectarian violence?
You left out:
6: Should the baby eating Tories be skinned alive for running up such a massive deficit?
And just before they go live and on air Dimblebore asks security to check the audience in case anybody has managed to sneak in who is not a member of the ‘caring professions’ or a lefty student or a useless civil servant with a gripe about his golden pension.
Does it matter WHO’S on QT? It’s like watching milk go off.
I’d rather have a good sh!te and a cup of hot tea than suffer BBC “talent” Dingleberry and his fan club.
QT is utterly, utterly pointless.
Glen Beck much more fun.
Oh gord, Douglas alexander. What is it about his voice that makes one want to trash the telly or radio?
Boggey
Wee jockanese Doug is about as much use as a toothless ferret and well the other female one,not quite straight.
I would have you know that as the publicity arm of the labour party we have Douglas Alexander on permanent call to give his immediate slating of any policy the coalition propose to deal with the so called deficit which we all know was created by the evil tories.
Nicola f*cking Sturgeon, always Nicola Sturgeon when QT visits Scotland. And that Goldie woman, but at least she’s normal sized and not a midget.
This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Understanding the Military Covenant is completely
alien to Gordon Brown as it is to a lot of his
pals on the left. I’m sure Ed has a similar
lack of feel for the nature of the relationship and responsibilities
for the Country to its servicemen and women.
I hate the Labour party of the last 25 years or so

Though not fond of Labour by any stretch of the imagination, John Smith struck me as a decent man among the slimeballs.
Oh yeah? Didn’t your countrymen think the same of T B Liar before he came (and for a long time after) into office?
John Smith wouldn’t lie to please the media or the public. It didn’t make him popular amongst the younger breed (Blair / Brown etc).
Everything derisable regarding ‘New Labour’ came to the fore when Smith met his untimely end.
The MSM seem to have done a pretty good job of forgetting about Smith. Somehow his death seems rather too convenient.
Oddly enough Gaitskell came to a very sudden end making room for Harold!
The “sainted” John Smith was MP in a constituency riven with religious bigotry to the extent that application form for jobs in the council were colour coded by what school the applicant went to.
Monk lands was and still is to an extent the epicentre of the Labour mafia.
Did John Smith do anything about this situation ?
Did he fuck, just another careerist Lawyer on the make.
He wouldn’t have had the heart for the job.
To the socialists, all military are mercenaries, without exceptions. That is why all socialists are treasonous, without exceptions.
To all socialists the military – as in the UK military, being a servant of the Crown and the people – are a threat to socialism.
Disgusting. No moral compass. It started in Kilcaldy. It should end here. It’s the right thing to do.
A Scottish friend of mine who knew Broon personally was talking about our late, unelected PM. I asked him what he’s really like. He replied without a pause. “He’s a sack of shite covered in skin.”

Yap!
GB is a Bollock-less misfit.
The man is an utter disgrace and anyone who ‘defends’ him on this particular issue is also a disgrace!
These young people are sent to meaningless wars and lay their life down for our safety.
GB, Hang your head in eternal shame. How on earth does this ‘man’ sleep at night?
Er, the last thing they are doing is laying down their lives for our safety.
Far from it, they are laying down their lives so multinational corporations can exploit the countries vast mineral wealth, once the natives have been pacified of course.
Still more left-wing bollocks.
if Gordon is in Scotland then there is only one thing to do……….NUKE IT!
Haven’t you noticed, Scotland was nuked years ago, just no one could tell the difference.
You can. I’m sure haggises weren’t always like that.
Chippy englander, get back to some recreational buggery Nigel.
We don’t nuke Scotland until Japan can master the production of Glenmorangie.
Personally I prefer a Connemara Peated Malt so you can go ahead and nuke jockland.
Well Brown has always displayed an ambivalent attitude to our armed forces even when he was the chancellor of the exchequer he delighted in blocking finances for much needed kit, then we had his disgraceful and disrespectful performance at the laying of the wreath ceremony a while back, but he was quite happy to jump on planes for photo ops in Basra when it politically suited him (backfired as usual). To not bother turn up at Parliament after all this time especially when one of his own constituents has died carrying out his duty, a duty put upon him by the dubious foreign policies of both Blair and Brown shows again the same characteristic indifference and lack of judgement. I doubt now if he could ever show his face again in the chambers of Parliament but that’s no loss.
A rapist who was rugby-tackled by a judge to stop him fleeing from court has been jailed for life at the Old Bailey. On Wednesday, Paul Reid, 34, changed his plea to guilty rather than face Judge Douglas Marks Moore in court.
Reid was sentenced to a minimum term of six years and three months by Judge Jeremy Roberts for two counts of rape and two escape offences. Judge Roberts went on to praise his fellow judge’s brave actions.
“The public would wish me to express their appreciation of his extremely brave and public-spirited action, going well beyond the call of duty in preventing the escape of an extremely dangerous man,” Judge Roberts said.
So why wasn;t our gord in the HoC to do his duty for the fallen of his constituency?

Were not buying it you f’cking mong, as soon as that big job comes in you’ll be off, just like your slimey mates.
GB spent 13 years caring for the environment by refusing to plan for the replacement of our nuclear power stations and building bloody useless bird mincers instead. the fact that Hug-a-husky Dave has followed this policy in headless chicken mode, which to my mind is the greatest proof yet of his lack of judgement.
One of Dave’s relatives would object to that you know!
What is it with Brown? The man is spineless. Liam & Theo deserve better. May they rest in peace now.
It is all crocodile tears from worthless bastards.
The whole of Arfgoonistarn and all who reside there are not worth the bones of one British Squaddie.
Correction; the hole of Arfgoonistarn…
First, why would a man who regularly shrieks about the glory of Sinn Fein and the righteousness of the IRA give a damn about a British soldier?
Second, you shouldn’t have mentioned he was from Kirkcaldy. The window lickers round here will now use this as an excuse to pour racist bile on a young man who gave more to Britain in his 26 years than the jock-bashing fat, baldy, bigoted Engerland-chanting inbreds ever would if they lived to be 100.
It’s not a slip, he wears his sporran under his kilt.
Well said that man.
I believe all those who pour their bigoted bile on here like jmg2 and the like are mostly the same person. After all am sure the genetic code couldn’t have fucked up so spectacularly on more than one occasion !
Brown is staying in Scotland because he gets free prescriptions for his numerous medications and free home nursing care when it all gets a little too confusing for him.
Please do
I’m going to change my nationality to Scottish so that when I die that’s another dead scottish twat.
Anyway , Gordons had his 13 years of fame all he got for it was a shit book deal and the most hated Scot in the 21st century. He will die a sad lonely old man (Deluded at that).
Yes, fair to say he took his eye off the ball !!
Fucked his eye with a ball you mean (allegedly).
Someone’s having an identity crisis!
Look Guido, Gordon has had a hard time since not winning the election.Gordon has been fighting for fairness for his voters and telling the people the truth about what really happened in the global crash( The book is called “Beyond the crash”).
He is fighting hard against these Tory led cuts that will harm the people of Scotland more because of the Bankers.
So stop picking on him because you make yourself look very childish.

Did I just write that?
Someone sho*t me please. Quickly!
I think you just suffered from a sugar overload. Ease up on the Heavy and the deep-fried mars bars.
We should not be surprised.
The Kirkcaldy Hunt is, lest anyone should forget, the fat over-pilled sociopath who lied his head off to the Iraq Inquiry about the budgets he gave to our lads out there.
I watched him do this live, and went to the MoD website – where in under three minutes I found the correct figures.
Why the fuck didn’t Chilcot and his fellow failed cryogenic experiments arm themselves with this? They could’ve caught the PM lying live on Prime Time telly.
But this is not the way our disgusting Establishment shitheads operate.
Inquiry? More like a pre-fixed Inquisition, whereby all those in red robes are innocent by definition.

I don’t give a fuck. Simple as that.
Fizzy orange time.
Put your bib on first gordon.
Gordon could stoop considerably lower than this quite predictable behaviour
that’s disgusting. not only does he get sent to wat by mcruin with little of the correct kit mcruin cant be bothered to turn up in his memory. honestly who do we complain to? what a coward.
I think we should complain to the Ministry of Education about your so-called English teacher.
The last person anyone would want comfort from is Gordon Brown.
You nasty piece of shit.
Evening Gordon.
There is no slope so slimy that Brown will not sink into. His lack of direct involvement in this case highlights what a borish, unfeeling fooking ‘man’ he is.
Nothing to do with politics.
Gordon Brown was and plainly still is a coward.
Not fit to be called a man.
Guido is right to make a point of it.
The BBC will not tell you will they?
It is more concerned about stirring up trouble about cuts.
Cuts forced on this government his evil Labour regime.
Agree.
Gordon asked me to relay this message to you, ” Bigots”
Alison McGovern
well it’s a nonsensical new tradition made even more nonsensical by the fact that the first MP to ask a question will repeat word for word what Cameron said and then Miliband will do likewise. At least we don’t have to endure a third repetition from the LDs these days.
It’s invention was entirely to try and salve Blair’s conscience. We should get rid of it.
Last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have never had it so good.
What is it that we are not supposed to know about “Sir” Fred Goodwin?
Please Dave, stay out of Libya. It ain’t any of your business. Let them sort their own affairs out and do not take sides, who are you to declare that a pro Gaddafi Arab or anti Gaddafi arab is a good or bad man?
Seems to me that Dave siding with the rebels has lost BP their lucrative oil contracts with Libya. Why the fuck once having got British citizens out could not Dave have kept his counsel?
You are assuming that Gadaffy will win.
He will.
“Moreover, Mr. Clapper added, the government’s advantage in military and logistical resources would ensure that, “over longer term, that the regime will prevail.”

Still here!
Totally with Guido on this one.
What a pathetic excuse of a person Brown is. I’d like to type was very,very much.
I doubt a dog would mourn his passing.
* testing
Splooootsh!
He’s not liked by everyone but I have to say that with this one comment, he’s rocketed up in my estimation.
Iranians “would not be missed” if they decided to boycott the London Olympics, David Cameron is reported as saying. Last week, Iran threatened to stay away over claims the 2012 logo was ra*ist as it resembled the word “Zi*n”.
The prime minister told London-based paper J*wish News: “It’s completely paranoid. If the Iranians don’t want to come, don’t come – we won’t miss you.
Fuckin right as well!!!!!
enough already
Is Belgium in the Norf Island or the Sarf Island??
Anywhere near Ed Schnorberts cousin?
Hope you apologised to them for the fuck-up you made of the economy, Balls.
I notice he does not want to cut the fuel tax that his government brought in.
Fuck off you Nazi!
So what twat!
The problem with Dave telling Gaddafi to stop attacking Libyan Civillians is that the Libyan rebel civillians are no longer civillians and are fully armed.
Why is it wrong for Gaddafi to defend his regime?
Because he is a murderous one short of a six pack,killing innocent men,women and children,and citizens of other countries,i’ll leave you to work that one out you cretin.
What? Like Obama and his pet poodles, i.e. us, are doing in Afghanistan?
A bit like Tony blair then.
What’s he got that i haven’t?
Apart from three landslide victories.
Sorry but You is so wrong. My good friend Muammar is a vey caring person. He gave me millions, no billions of pounds just to get one of his dying citizens back home.
He’s a fucking raghead, Let them kill each other. Good.
The government plans to cut all public service pensions
Do NOT include the pensions of MP’s
according to Lord Hutton !
Did you ever imagine they would?
Hutton is a sack of shit.
So what does labour think about the labour plans to sort out the public sector pension fiasco?
Shush… Mr Hutton is no longer politically correct.
No but he’s factually correct.

Did Theo really suffure a seizure or was he put down?
Lefty trolls are out in force tonight. Is it a full moon or is it let the inmates use the internet evening?
You must be reading a different blog to me. Can’t see any lefty posts myself.

Neither can I,take no notice.
A bit more interesting than nell’s right wing twitterings.
Are the two mutually exclusive?
The left and right wing trolls have lacked the class they used to have.
Awoooooo!, suddenly got extremely hairy and my nails badly need cutting.
Wheres Gordon?
Doing a jobby.
Sitting pretty courtesy of your taxes.
I’ll get right on his case immediately after the next election.
PLOP
Hand relief will do but I’ll settle for a rug-munch!
I wish labour would fuck off and die of cancer. Sick off them
I wish MPs of all two and a half parties would fuck off and die.
I’m sick of them all.
If Gaddafi’s got chemical weapons, can he deliver one to Westminster PDQ?
Gets my vote!
I am not so sure anyone would notice .
If only………..
OK, I know we should be used to hypocrisy from Labour but I think this has to take the biscuit. Without the slightest hint of irony, she calls what the coalition are doing on pensions as robbery. Has she got amnesia about what Brown did to pensions?!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah robbin from the private sector you fuckin C-unt!!!!!!!
Sally. From what I have read and heard of the hutton report into public sector pensions it makes great sense, goes into great detail, allows transitions and is a none political piece of work. Unlike your glib Tweet of less than 140 characters.
Apparently it’s nowt to do with Hutton or Labour!! WTF!! It is being put about by an unchallenged by Al-Beeba Union offical’s comment (Barber I think) that it’s caused by The Tory Cuts to the Deficit!
Bugger off and wash the dishes.
Twat!
work in the real world instead of the ficton that is The house of Parliament!
But if you can’t be arsed to vote, living as you do in a safe seat, what are you complaining about?
What’s one got to do with the other? I don’t approve of anyone not voting but what bearing has that on criticising some spotty teenage socialist wanting work experience with a disgraced Labour MP who got a police caution?
Working out a way to change that.
Because she’s living life high on the hog at your expense, while you’re not.
A fake grizzled old cynic like me
ought to try and get in there but
on hearing Labour speak I’d immediately
projectile vomit and suffer office rage
Mark my words. If we start kicking shit in Libya we will also kick the mother fucker of a hornet’s nest
Is that what they call a mixed metaphor.

Rest in Peace, Liam – and you too, Theo. May your loved ones find the courage and comfort to sustain them at this tragic time.
Brings a lump to the throat, nobodies gonna bother turn out for these shits we have got around these days.
It is just PURE Hypocrisy by Dave. The House of Saudi are every bit as bad as the Qaddafi family, if not worse.
They did all right by Mumsie and me.
We speak as we find a large amount of cash in a private Swiss bank account.
Modded for praising the Saudis get rich quick deals courtesy of Mummy.
Who would have thought it?
No she aint! We need 2 kick her aaaaht!
Not yet she hasn’t.
Perhaps we didn’t plunge the knife in deep enough.
But I want to know this: Why all you British, why you so horrible about me?
Not me, Mummra. You’ve made me rich.
It’s your bobble hat mate
For those of you with sad, sad lives, question time will be on shortly.
Sorry , watching paint dry( working).
Any new government worth it’s salt would have had the previous incumbents expenses thoroughly scrutinised.
Sorry, wrong blog.
Fucking Hell QT is a Jockanese broadcast Tanite.
5 Jocks and not a can of super Tennants to be seen.
It’s a conspiracy right up there with 9/11, D*nblane and Hollie Grieg.
What do they take us for?
Ferrari’s gone into oversteer FFS! Gibbering mess! Nicola Sturgeon looks like Royal Caviar!
And while the arses argue amongst themselves over semantics, the real cover up of Ali Ben and Jerry Megrahi’s upcoming app*al remains buried in the archives.
Much like D*nblane.

Funny how the messiah, envoy Tony Blair is silent as Libya prepares to commit genocide on its own people.
Libya is preparing full-scale military action to crush a rebellion and will not surrender even if Western powers intervene. That message comes from Gaddafi’s most prominent son, Saif.
“It’s time for liberation. It’s time for action. We are moving now,” he said.
“We will never ever give up. We will never ever surrender. This is our country. We fight here in Libya. The Libyan people, we will never ever welcome Nato, we will never ever welcome Americans here. Libya is not a piece of cake.”
Parachute me in naked from the waist down, and i’ll establish relations with an Arab rebellion.
Me first.
There is absolutely no evidence of genocide in libya.
I said “as it prepares”.
All this killing is lovely. Thanks to Tony’s friendship with the Gaddafis, each dead Libyan is another pair of designer shoes for me!
I think the government should do something about it.
Fucking Wee Dougie Alexander trying to get Labour off the hook for Megrahi’s release, the dirty c unt.
First time I’ve agreed with Nicola Sturgeon, who’s attacking Wee Dougie.
She’s got two c*nts.
You’re one of them.
I luv Wee Dougie!
Piss poor trolling.

That little creep Douglas Alexander on Question Time again! Spouting his usual mindless cr*p. One of tonight’s many examples of his nonsense was his support for Old Firm matches to be played on weeknights because “there is less trouble, less subsequent violence” then.
News for you dumbnuts, the match in question was on a Wednesday night!
I hear that in Fife on old firm nights a certain household has Nokia rage.
He rarely fulfils his duty by attending Parliament so no doubt he was at home watching the match on his taxpayer funded Sky subscription and exercising his well known passions.
Fuck me, you lot are nuts.
The fucking political and media morons also fail to point out that there was little crowd trouble during the match. All the flash points concerned players and coaching staff. On this occasion it had fuck all to do with the plebs. They are all talking shite.
Liam and Theo were probably “Bigots” and not worthy of the respect Of McMental

Does he want the sheeple distracted?
What I’d like “Dave” to tell us..is exactly what a “no-fly zone” will achieve in pratical terms to assist the situation ?
As Jon Nichol said yesterday on Sky and repeats again to-day in the Mail…”No fly-zones” are extremely complicated>It’s worth reading his article in full(the link is below)but here’s an extract
“The true number of violations of the no-fly zone is unknown, but some estimate that more than 5,700 illegal flights took place during the 32-month operation.
It became so disheartening that many of us joked about changing the radio challenge we were required to issue to violating aircraft. Our real order was: ‘Land immediately or exit the no-fly zone or you will be engaged.’ After thousands of challenges were ignored, some wag re-wrote the radio challenge to say: ‘Leave the no-fly zone or the Royal Air Force will escort you safely to your final destination.’
One deeply disturbing example of this kind of madness was in February 1994, when six Serbian aircraft were intercepted en route to attack a military factory in Bosnia.The rules of engagement required two challenges to be issued, and both were ignored by the Serbian crews. And in the time it took the Nato pilots to seek final UN authority to engage the aircraft, the Serb pilots had dropped their bombs on the target, leaving it in flames”.

…Gadaffi is using tanks and ground troops and a no fly-zone won’t affect that at all unless the UN/NATO is prepared to attack ground targets,armour and troops(let’s face it they’re getting enough trouble trying to cobble together this toothless “nofly zone so any possibility of that is less than zero).
NATO is in a bind;the UN is unlikely to agree anytime soon and the EU,the germans in particular,are not keen on military action if it comes to it…the German Foreign Minister even went on the record to say effectively that Germany is not getting involved in any war in North Africa(period).
The only power that can actually stop it is the USA and they too are far from keen with different factions advising caution or going in with military force to take out Gadaffi’s Regime….but after Iraq they will be cautious to ensure that they have full legal cover,,,,,so expect several days more of “Dave” & “Sarko” setting the mood and working themselves into a lather.In the meantime the “Colonel” continues his operations to recover his country and smash the opposition…by the time the “West” moves it’ll be too late………..
Rusty has missed his chance for glory by going to war, the news cycle has moved on and earthquakes have taken over from boring Libya.
Keep the hell out of Libya. Let us fight it out. Nothing to do with you. Keep your filthy hands off our oil too.
I did not fully realise what an annoying excuse of what pretends to be a human being Gordon Brown is until now.
yesterday the world press was shown around the town of Zawiyah
the town has just been recaptured by Gadaffi’s army after being surrounded for two weeks
the press were shown much destruction and burnt out vehicles but no bodies
if the town was cut off where are the rebels ?
i would suggest in a mass grave in the desert !
the UN is yet another totally fucking useless organisation that talks loud but does fuck all !
For once it’s uselessness should be applauded.
Keep the hell out of Libya. Let us fight it out. Nothing to do with you. Keep your filthy hands off our oil too.
Just last week I wished the people of Japan well.

Gordon Brown is in some sort of permanent contorted seizure which stops him acting like a normal human being.
Brown is like small child who operates on the pet rabbit thinking the pet is dead whilst is it only asleep
The rabbit was a bigot.
The West coast is toast!
Pity it wasnt Brown who had a siezure.
If it went to the vote 100% of the UK would save the dog over Brown. I think that says it all !
