Time Called on Andrew Pierce
This week’s guest publication is Hampstead’s local paper the Ham and High. Last week it had an intriguing story about the famously convenient for the heath gay pub the King William IV branching out and encouraging a more mixed crowd:
As a local celebrity resident and patron, the Mail’s Andrew Pierce got a quote in the story:
‘Mr Pierce, 50, said: “I don’t know if it’s true that its gay identity is being diluted because I haven’t been in for months, but if it is I’d be very surprised and disappointed.’”
Haven’t been in for months, eh, Andy? And why is that?
Could it be the fact that he is, to quote the landlady of the pub, “banned for life”. She slapped on the ban a few months ago after a series of unpleasant drunken incidents, including “inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour towards other men”, “foul language” and drunken rants at an ex-boyfriend. The landlady, Elaine Loughran, tells Guido that “all of the staff know not to serve him…”
what a twat, Maybe deaerves Twatwatch tag?
This wins “The most pointless Guido thread of the year 2011″
really what with everything going on in the world right now who gives a flying about this?
It is only March, there will be more. This is tittle-tattle, it is why we’re number one. Suggest you fuck off back to Comment is Free.
+1
+2. Does it not make one feel like screaming down the place for rampant homophobia?. Or even screaming the place down (depending on whether there are any split infinitives lying about).
As for Libya, well. To hell with Libya.
Well said, Guido.
CIF – how dare you. There’s bandits over there.
Arris Bandits?
It falls neatly into the category of “Tittle-tattle, gossip and rumour”, and Pierce does report on Westminster (when he isn’t borrowing other people’s stories).
Even more than you may think. I had no idea who the arse bandit was until this story, so I googled him and discover that he is a co-author of a book called “Great parliamentary scandals: four centuries of calumny, smear and innuendo”. “Pink News” named him “the sixth most powerful gay man in British politics, describing him as “a ball of giggles, gossip, scandal and kinetic energy – Pierce is an interesting mix of rebel and establishment figure”.
According to another ‘Pink List’, “Andrew Pierce is feared and revered in equal measure; he is a tenacious political hack with a talent for breaking stories about the great and good.”
The queers do love themselves, don’t they?

absolutely …only one serious thread about the middle east where international interest is focused currently
Come orf it Aunty Hilda,how can it be “serious” if it aint knocking Isr**l & slagging of the j**s ?
Because it’s an illness where their mind is fucked
What do you mean by trouble?
‘brace yourself bennie’ type of trouble
Surely this establishment have no choice but to cease what appears to be a discriminatory policy against hetro sexuals. Is Pierce encouraging this illegal policy to remain in place by his comments. The very description of a public house as being a “Gay Pub” is now illegal is it not?
I wonder if he will steal this story?
Ouch!
Schoolboy error – never get barred from your local, that’s what town centre boozers are for.
Wise words Dick, wise words indeed.
I’ve never been banned
Is it true that the bar stools at the King William IV are all turned upside-down?
Bitches….I’ll slap ya wivme ‘andbag!
Pierce is a very unpleasant drunk.
He’s also a fuckwit sober
Most of his ‘scoops’ are either plaigerised or pinched, he’s cr*p.
I like going up the old King Willy
And he still gets on tv? Well they did keep trying to interview Gordon before the election.
What is it about this egos in the media that think they can behave like this in private and then preach something else in public?
I don’t know what you mean.
Now open some champagne..champagne for everybody!
I’ll have some Bolly with you, Polly !
Sorry Polly, there’s no champagne left. We’ve drank it all.
OMG , how fuckin sad is she?
GET….
1. A life
2. Over yourself
3. Lost
Did Gordon and the kids remember to buy you a card?
“What? Someone forgot? Who’s fault was that? Sue I think..Its just ridiculous”
That bigotted woman – just ridiculous – save the world – started in America – no more boom and bust…NURSE!!!!! My Tablets!!
The Penguin
Stupid woman.
bigotted bitch
Sarah, stick you propaganda up yer arse !
For F*** SAKE woman – how old are you ? 12 ?
Unfortunately most of the twatters who twitter probably are unlike sad old gits on here who spend all their time posting complete bollocks for other sad old gits between episodes of “The Doctors” and “Flog It !” and signing on at the Job Centre
To be fair to Sarah, she hasn’t started telling how she much lusts after 5 times a night Gordon or what method of contraception she uses.
gordon is his own contraception
Will Mr Mckay, Mr H Deedes and Petsy be publishing this one ???
” She slapped on the ban a few months ago after a series of unpleasant drunken incidents, including “inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour towards other men”, “foul language” and drunken ”
Round our way we get banned if we dont behave like this.
And just where is that Billy?
Ardrossan?
Whangarei?
Waikikamoocow
Probably Wagga Wagga – by the sound of it, it’s where he spends a lot of time “waving a hankie”.
Down came a jumbuck to drink at his water hole !!!!!!!!!
There’s always two sides to every story.
How the times have changed it, used to be the he-men that got kicked out of pubs for brawling, now it’s the she-men, time for the goverment to think how can it tax brawling in the bars.
“The King William IV is keen to attract customers regardless of their sexuality”.
One of the problems of becoming well-known as a niche venue is that other non-niche patrons tend to automatically go elsewhere, not out of prejudice, but just because they don’t think they’ll feel at home with the other patrons. If you happen to hate Heavy Metal, and a particular publican is known to encourage such bands to perform, you go elsewhere.
A niche venue? Oo-er mister! My kind of niche exactly – no, tiiter ye not!
In that vein, they might find it useful to change their website:
“The Willie turned discreetly gay in the late 1930s, specifically to cater for men visiting the Heath, the publican in those days being a woman known as Mumsy. In the post-war years, the Willie was a hang-out for leather men, but today the crowd is more mixed, young and old, with a sprinkling of gay celebs.”
Sprinkling of gay celebs!
Nice turn of phrase except it denotes stardust and are’nt most celebs gay now?
Little wonder he was cribbing your stuff Fawkes, he spends all his time down the ‘Gay Hussars’ getting bummed.
Two years now and my head is still lodged up my arse.
Will my gay husband go back to parliament and respresent his constituents?
No
At the Waad Arms we keep a fierce Alsatian bitch to deter abusive drunkards. Sylvaine was brought up in Stasbourg, the French capital of beer, where her father kept a pub and is a gentle enough lady normally.
The barmaid at my local is a Lurcher, she comes lamping on the heath after last orders, I believe they call it dogging!.
Fur coat and no knickers?
The trouble with Alsatian bitches is you have to learn French.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Might try the Kings Arms around the Queens Arse tonight.
I wonder if he will be plagiarizing this article for his next collumn Guido?
I suspect he gets his column inches from other sources.
How I(r)onic!
I am going to explode in a minute.
Pphhaaaaaaaaaaarp!

Journo is drunken tosser. In other news, Pope is Catholic!
What a pity Woolworths has closed down. Baroness Ashton would be just perfect as an assistant on the broken biscuit counter.
Pick n’ Mix ??
She is just too ugly even for broken biscuits or dog food
In a bakery, crimping pies with her god awful teeth surely?
Bog Attendant

Monday night is my bath night (6 o’clock) then I can have alphabety spaghetti, and some fizzy.
Ex Boyfriend? Would that be toilets MaGuire by chance?
It’s a very gay pub. They make you go in the back entrance.
Bummer.
One up the bum, some harm done
