Harris Ain’t Happy
Guido saw that this video had only got 2 views and thought it deserved a wider audience:
Though Tom Harris might want to have a quiet word in the ear of his fellow Labour MPs Tom Blenkinsop, Ronnie Campbell, Martin Caton, Katy Clark, Michael Connarty, Jeremy Corbyn, David Crausby, Jim Dobbin, Jim Hood, Kelvin Hopkins, Gerald Kaufman, John McDonnell, Alan Meale, Linda Riordan, Virendra Sharma and Marsha Singh. They all signed up to heap praise on UK Uncut, whose spokesman last night refused to condemn the violence.
Send em the bill!
Perhaps they’ll stop now Tom has spoken?
It goes without saying that Tom said the same thing about the rioters during the student demonstrations?
Didn’t he?
Boris in the Telegraph yesterday. Excellent. Funny because I know some equalities worker like he mentions.
Nearly fell out of my chair (and that is hard on Swiss first class seat !!!)
No I do not believe he did, but had he been employed as their communications guru at that point? I cannot remember.
However, I completely agree with him about UK Uncut. Well except for calling them anarchists. Anarchists would never riot to create a growing and more intrusive state.
Other than his ignorant use of the word “Anarchist” he was pretty much spot on.
Unlike Tom, I am also glad that the ridiculous TUC march was overshadowed. There was less marchers than the countryside alliance and less then the anti-Iraq war protests (both were entirely peaceful BTW) and yet they were completely ignored by the labour government.
In fact there were fewer marchers than there were people who got off their asses and voted for the B&P at the last election. So the march was a small minority of people who are actually reality challenged deficit deniers.
They did not deserve the coverage that they got as it is.
Good point.
I think anyone should be allowed to organise marches and protests but should be made totally responsible for all cost of damage done whether the people who do the damage are part of the organisers or not.
Quite happy to exclude the cost of policing if they want, but if this happens, they can’t complain if there aren’t enough police.
Ampers
And do it all in their own time.
And pay up-front for insurance for the cost so that it will be paid. Without limit. Demonstrating is a participatory sport and you do it because it makes you feel good, not to benefit society. Pretending that you are benefitting society is how it makes you feel good.
It is as out of date as “industrial action” in essential services, and when they are both abolished we will all wonder what took us so long.
Or better still, send ‘em Bill.

Good on you Guido , Taking part in Daves “big society”
confused why they are upset, the timing was magnificent, first rucktions started as Wallace was speaking which could be a sign he enthused a load of people into picking up the torch of the suffragettes or anti apartheid, who had quite a few of their number done for violent disorder OR hid the fact Wallace’s speech wasn’t going to say the government of whgich I was a member had some (would be a start) responsiblilty for the fucked up state of things, or even he’s over 80% agreed with the people they are marching against, (only 80% coz moneylenders need to make more money I suppose)
Black Blocks did Labour a favour

No.

Posting locked my machine for some reason – didn’t even get a ‘you have already sent this’ type message.
Oh well, two Billy posts ahead ain’t bad
Violence! Yeah! Thatcher out!
Second?
Are you a thick HOON? NO!
yup!
Haha me thinks UK Uncut are doing something right – a handful of students with no funding getting waaaay more coverage than the boorish pronouncements from the lavishly-financed TPA tower.
Tampa international airport?
I don’t think the bbc mentiond the cut’s all week before or on the day and the ‘anachists’ havn’t given them an excuse to mention it since.
If it wasn’t for the ‘anachists’, lot’s of labour polititions, union men and assorted brain-dead labour arse lickers would have been on the bbc all fuc’king week talking about the ANTI CUTS, err.
Perhaps you’ve been watching too much Professor Brian Cox and your brain has gone millions of billions of trillions of light years back in time.
Obviously you are on Fuller’s Earth, or do not listen to BBC radio 4 where if the word “cuts” was removed then their would be very little narrative left.
There would be joyful silence.
I’m first! Fizzy time!
See posts 46, 47 and 49.
(better use the eye that still works)
They’ve shot themselves in the foot with this one.
Apropos the March on Saturday it was firstly a massive mis-judgement for Miliband to go anywhere near it let alone address it(it was always likely to see spin off demos and being used as cover for other organisations with different violent agendas)he should have made excuses to his union bosses and absented himself..his second mistake was his overblown comparisons of the march to the suffragette marches;anti-apartheid and US civil rights(it was of course nothing of the sort but a march by a self-interested minority groups..whic will adavnce the argument against cuts not one jot)It just made him look a complete idiot out of touch with the reality of the situation
Ed Miliband is a gift to the Tories that just keeps on giving every time he opens his mouth. Thankfully the unions stitched up the PLP and foisted him on the party rather than his elder brother whom I honestly believe Cameron genuinely fears as an able rival for PM whereas his younger brother is just regarded with scorn and a figure of fun by him
Couldn’t agree more.
One thing though, Militwit senior did himself no good at all having a girly hissy-fit and may find it very difficult getting back in the credibility stakes.

Where was Ed Balls? Waiting in the wings somewhere, grinning.
Problem with DM is that he has proved to be a coward.
So when the going gets tough he does what his mentor Brown does, and hides behind the sofa.
There isn’t a single vertebra anywhere to be found in the labour party at all.
That woman on tv last night I would say was a complete fruitloop and anybody taking notice of her should be hanging their heads in shame, they definatly didn’t do any research on how Fortnums operate and the money they give and the UK taxes they pay, “creative spaces” surley that’s up to Fortnums how they use the space they own in there own building and not some fruitloops who scared the hell out of staff and customers, time for the bills to go to to these ruffians and make them pay
That or just Hang em!
As long as it’s made very public that Fortnums gives a lot to charity, I think it will backfire. If it hasn’t done already.
Of course, these are probably the same fucktards who broke into Millbank Tower rather than 30 Millbank
Cynical- I don’t think that means anything to them. They don’t weigh up the arguments or look at things rationally. It’s just fun, if you’re generous, or evil and destructive, if you want to be realistic. Their “arguments” are trotted out mindlessly. I would say they’ve been brainwashed, but that presupposes a brain.
True, they have no cognitive ability to reason. Posh = evil to them and no rationality would ever get through their unreality filter.
Brave UK Uncut demonstrators have occupied the home of Mrs Trellis of North Wales who has shamefully been avoiding tax by putting £300 in an ISA.
I beat them off single-handedly armed only with a bar of soap
They don’t like it up em !
Kryptonite to the great unwashed.
He said what!!!!!
UK Uncut would not be able to figure out the ridiculously simple rules to Mornington Cresent anyway.
Singing one song to the tune of another would overtax their brains too.
Good on Mrs Trellis of North Wales.
May I suggest breaking into Banff Castle, the lordly pile of that prick Ramsay, depositing a steaming turd in his Great Hall and loudly proclaiming, “How’s that for a creative space?”.

‘cept it ain’t is – it’s his brother’s gaff.
I’m never happy.
I’m not surprised, looking at your wife.
Often dopey, though!
Statistically, six out of seven dwarves never are!
I agree with Tom Harris.
Shame on UK Uncut. Their actions clearly overshadowed the main point of the protest, which was to garner as much media attention for Ed Milimandela’s Luther Kingian speech. Consequently, Ed’s Dream was a bit damp and slightly soiled.
Ed’s dream speech died the moment the BBC forgot whose side they were on and found that rioting was more newsworthy than a champagne socialist with a lisp.
Sadly for the beeb, the moment things kicked off they put in an invidious position, stick with Ed’s speech, and lose all credibility as a newsgathering organisation, or cover the naughtiness elsewhere.
Impossible. How can they lose something they haven’t been in possesion of for almost thirty years ?
Just a bunch of left-wing supporting, propaganda spouting shit-stabbers.
How come the Beeb was right at the centre of the hammer wielding window bashers, and the Police were nowhere near?
Someone was in the know and must have forgotten to inform the cops.
Engineered to the last step.
+1 Given that protest organisers were allowed to Tweet to the protesters from the police CCTV control centre, I’m reasonably sure the police were doing a fair bit of the engineering. The police ‘service’ is infested with PC (wrong type of PC) socialists and they hate
cost savingscuts, too.Because one of the aristocratic soap dodgers sent them a text.

Isn’t it police policy to keep back taking photographs and not attempt to stop them?

He looks like a TV actor – can’t remember his name or sitcoms he’s been in though.
Would that be Ronnie (the intellectual) Campbell from Blyth, ‘ees a canny lad !!
That’s him – as thick as pig shit and just as nasty.
Aye, Ronnie, eh? The pride of his town. Will only ever take a miners wage (well that was his pre-election waffle).
Still loves a good night at the Indian curry house.
Heres a prime example of these anarchists.

The real face of Labour – The Champagne Socialist. This chap has really had a hard life!
Yeah OH had a peice about him yesterday.
The odious little f*cker would not have lasted 5 minutes on the council estate that I was dragged up on !!
As I said yesterday a lot of these so called anarchists will prove to be from th well-heeled middle classes and whilst eposuing that they are protesting on behalf of the working class have probably never done a days manual labour in their cossetted little lives and would be the first to phone “Mummy” or “Daddy” if they got nicked for criminal damage/trespass. At the end of the day they would be the first to complain if protesters/rioters targetted their property
Maybe they were really Tories dressed up as ragamuffins and were trying to give Liebour and the Unions a bad name.
well most of the ones arrested are middle class on a yobbo day out. As pulp song common people put “cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it’s all such a laugh”, especially if thye can phone mummy and daddy if they get into trouble. Witness the fool who chucked a fire exstinister off millbank or Charlie Gilmore, surprising how he got his hair cut for his court appearance. Charlie Gilmore next appearance will be in front of a jury of common people who will not like a posh boy trying to portray his antics as a laugh
“I wanna be like common people”
Oh Really? Give away all of your fucking money, give up all the network of valuable contacts you have (who could get you a very well paid job with one phone call) and live on a council estate cleaning cars for a living for a decade and THEN tell me if you want to live like common people!!!
Bastards!
Reminds me of that posh socialist crap pop-singing bint Lilly Allen. Singer? She never sung a note, she talked in that crap faux Norf-Landan/cockney accent which was utter shite.
She did that documentary about “giving up her fame and moneyed lifestyle to become normal.”
WTF? How many “normal” people have a film crew filming them setting up a posh boutique out of pocket change from their own millions???
Lying bint!
That would take planning, guts, political savy and a desire to win, so probably not Tories then.
Lily Allen is a younger version of Ann Widdecomb
I’ve just had a look at their “pile” in Scotland. The place looks as though it’s falling down.
Perhaps ought to give him address for Channel 4 “Country House Rescue” then….he could do with a good slap from “Auntie Ruth”
False, it is one of the UK castles in better nick.
The castle, or Scotland in general?
Mummy and Daddy got £40,000 from the taxpayer for a new boiler.
That’s more than most of us earn in a year!
If you had £40,000 a year, you’d only fritter it away on bingo and chilean chardonney. A new boiler at the taxpayers’ expense is endogenous growth and a Good Thing.
… and there’s me thinking endogenous meant cancerous. Well, well…
Half of them when they were duped into leaving and prominently arrested where brought to stations over london including mine.
There were tears both male and female. “buuuh Buhhh But I have not done anything wrong, waaah.
Shut the Fuck Up!
great day
A bunch of ill-informed soap dodgers.
A crime under common law can be described as causing injury, harm or loss.
Do these soap dodging, big state, tax stealing fuckwits really think that Fortnum and Mason’s profits increased during that protest? Or that the graffiti they sprayed on the outside would magically remove itself for free?
You should read the c unt ramsays blog on his few hours in a police cell.Thinks he’s Nelson mandella the little twat!
This mabe me laugh , where are the unions to defend thier brother?

If you take something from your company, that they don’t want to give you for free, that might piss them off.
A cup of Lady Grey would definitely piss me off. Revolting stuff.
< thumbs through das krapital >
Not sure I know what you mean.
I do hope they are paying for the tea they use or at least the company is, if not the taxman will be on their backs, it’s classed as payment in kind and is taxable, they have to remind themselves they are not MP’s and don’t work in the HOC.
If he’s not Happy, which of the dwarves is he?
Shorty.
The old headless chicken act….Blame the middle class, make it sound like the yobs were Tory.
I wonder how many of the little sh*ts pay income tax ??
They don’t if they’re students. Mummy and Daddy probably do, though.
We’re all middle class now.
You have to laugh,..The plod taking cuts hard up the arse lightly police what was obviously going to be a punch up at some point (it always is).
Thieving M P’s and affronted pond life, sheep and vested interest call for changes to the laws to protect their scruffy capitol, the media meanwhile reports a version of events to suit its own pet arguments.
Zzzzzzz
Has Lady Polly of Cuckoo Land condemned the violence?
oh be serious, anyone on the grauniad take an honest and principled stand over this and stand by their words? i have a better chance of waking up with kiera knightly tomorrow.
ALL THE VIOLENCE WAZ FATCHERS FORT!!!!
MY COMRADES DIDNT START TROUBLE IT WAS GUIDOFAWKES AND OLD HOLBORN THAT CAUSED ALL THE DAMAGE.
Don’t forget Chuka Umunna and of course Polly
“UK Uncut is back, and today’s victim is Barclays Bank. Inspired by the efforts of the Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who has forced the bank to reveal its low corporation tax bill, protesters have descended on branches of Barclays in outrage. Polly Toynbee herself even visited the one on Tottenham court road, tweeting about the “great comedy protest”.

UK Uncut.
Pig ignorant and extremely stupid.
let them descend on the Guardian offices and then onto Tuscany.
In hushed tones, “Polly Toynbee herself even visited”.
Gosh! Fawn! Grovel! We’re not worthy!
Cocks. “Irrelevant and generally unknown rancid old hag with extremely limited IQ stumbled along”. There, I’ve re-written the line to make it more accurate.

but only if you get Harriet Harman to agree that the protesters have an appropriate ethnic and sexual orientation balance.

Fair point. OK Ucnut are the Bullingdon Club of the Left.
In that they send any and all persons affected by their exuberant conduct a cheque to cover any damages for which they were responsible? I think not.
One or two things getting up my nose about the BBC, even more so lately.
If you watch BBC news regularly you could be forgiven for thinking that the Coalition was intending to butcher public spending. The TUC calls it “a massacre”. Public expenditure by the time of the next election will only have been slashed by 3%!!! State spending will have gone down from £669 billion in 2009/10 to £647billion by 2014/5 – still one third higher than it was ten years before.
Under New Labour public expenditure shot up by 53%.
Gordon Brown indulged in an insane and ineffective spending orgy that has left the UK economy debt-ridden. We were living far beyond our means, spending money we haven’t got. It was like giving your missus your Visa card and a bottle of gin and inviting her to fill her boots on Ebay.
Yet, the BBC NEVER EVER explains the mess we’re in.
Why?
A mix of denial, anal retention and blind loyalty to the one true God
Speaking of whom…
Has anyone else noticed that since he became ‘Peace Envoy’ to the Middle East things have become much more newsworthy? is there a link?
For the same reason that they were touting the idea of a Hung parliament(in BBC Speak Balanced Parliament)in the period just prior to last years General Election and why immediately afterward they were giving constant uninterupted air-time to Labour and certain LibDems politicians who were “shillin” for a “Rainbow Coalition of the Progressive Left” and discounting the fact that the Conservatives had “won” the election simply because they were the biggest party after it….
It started in America.
The BBC is the broadcasting wing of the Labour Party? And for some reason Dave loves them, so they can do no wrong.
That is one of the greatest strategic mistakes of this coalition government. And one of the most cowardly.
Hell I forget about that Boots advert and when I used IE, going to have to go back to Firefox.
I would have thought he would have been grateful to the great unwashed for taking attention AWAY from Ed’s sphincter-clenchingly-bad speech. I’m still waiting to hear what this ‘alternative’ is
*twiddles thumbs*
Some people are never happy.
Speaking of twiddling thumbs, has he written anything on his blank sheet of paper yet? Anything at all? How long has been in the job – 8 months? And not one policy.
Well after 8 months, they are just starting an internal party review which will continue until September so that they can decide how to decide things in their party.
Actual policies will not be decided until weeks after the next general election, IF they win it.
From seen elsewhere: Rally for the cuts , lets see if the BBC cover this?
Not a chance!
UKUHuhne – DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN!
UKUcunt – DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN!

How did you manage that???????
SHUHNETHORPE!
I don’t see what Tom Harris is complaining about. If he wants to put any agenda on the table perhaps he should not have blown a hissy fit over a proposed coalition with the Liberal Democrats in May last year propogated by his own self-indulgent desire to ensure that he could not be voted out.
Will some fucking TV interviewer actually ask UK Uncut how much their targeted company SHOULD pay in tax ? FFS!
Needless to say, there will be no answer (‘more’ is not an answer. if they say that ‘how much more?’ is the response, when they say ‘more’ again, ‘why ?’. What is so difficult about that ?).
Avoidance is totally legal and all intelligent people do it, whether it’s an ISA or a legitimate offshore arrangement.
We need these fuckers to be put on the spot and this is the question they should be pressed on.
You don’t waste time asking vandals for the strategy behind their actions – it’s way above their pay grade/intelligence to give valid answers.
Is their any difference between this type of up-front anarchy and the stuff that banks and government do surrepticiously, apparently in our names? Except that the first type is a temporary inconvenience and the latter is a lifetime of extrreme inconvenience.
