Desperate Yes Deploy Mandy
“New Politics” is out of the window over at YES2AV this morning. Desperation has sunk to such a low, that someone in the offic has come to the conclusion that ditching Eddie Izzard and replacing him with Peter Mandelson is a good idea.
The Dark Lord was last seen tapping up Russians for his bond villain wannabe lobbying-venture Global Counsel LLP, but this morning, he has waded into the AV debate:
“Cameron has been forced to intervene, to turn it into an intra-Coalition partisan scrap in order to mobilise Tory support and Tory-supporting newspapers.”
It sounds like someone has had a lot of time out of the loop to come up with theories.
There is no way that Mandelson’s intervention could have gone ahead without clearance from the Yes to Fairer Votes brigade. Any group that attempt to persuade people that AV will make MPs work harder, yet deploy one of the most corrupt MPs in recent history as its poster boy, has to be falling apart. What does an MP who had resign from the cabinet twice know about “working harder”?
UPDATE: It went under the bank-holiday radar, but Ed Howker has found the printing machine that is producing both YES! campaign literatute and referendeum ballot papers. Katherine Harris would be proud.
BTW,
Glad you’re not dead, GF.
Your point is?
not as good as yours
Who is this Mandy imposter masquerading as me?
OMG , The left are homophobic!
OMG , The right are homophobic!
OMG , Guido is homophobic!
I did not post the video/clip.
You don’t post anything but inane drivel Billy Bumblefuck.
Why stop now?
Whoever it was that masqueraded as me at 2.09am, please desist, or if you must, please at least masquerade as someone of some taste and education, i.e. forego such twattery as ‘OMG’, and lose the careless space before the comma. Thank you. Young people these days, I ask you!*
* to come up to my place for a damn good seeing to.
P.S. Can we please stop the homophobiaphobia – it takes all sorts – I certainly do, and, do you know, some of my best friends are homophobes.
“Just remember If I can come Back, You can come back”
Arselicking wanker.
Nice to see the homo Mandelson reverting to type and totally ignoring the merits of the issue but usiing it for his own political ends. How transparent it is.
Why is Geedo so desperate about AV either way?
http://beta.uk.news.yahoo.com/city-pay-packets-offset-bonus-falls-231137415.html
Either way, it’s business as usual.
Bonus down, salary up.
This one instance where Guido hasn’t got his eye on the ball.. Errr so to speak. It’s about the issue of AV, not whose on what side. You haven’t got to look under many rocks on the No side before all manner of reprilians begin to appear. Mandy boy is a twat yes, but an end to safe seats MPs, like the socialist toss pot whose supposed to represent me, can only be a good thing…
So Geedo is campaigning FOR the concept of “Safe Seat” MP’s then?! Is he payrolled by one?
Oh, thank God! You’re back! I was genuinely starting to get worried that I was no longer going to be able to enjoy my daily bun fight!
PLEASE do a piece on Andrew Marr, now that the pathetic overt leftie scum-bag’s injunction has been made public. How can he possibly call himself a journalist whilst simultaneously gagging journalists?
A campaign for him to resign must begin immediately.
In the meantime, if Labout knew what was good for them, they’d ditch Mandy and most of the front bench. But they don’t. Good! Even the Indy readers hate Mandelson.

Ditching Izzard?
Surely nothing to do with an injunction or anything – Izzard would never be an emabarrasment to the Yes campaign, would he?
Ha Ha!
Would you like to see some kittens, little boy? I’ll give you some sweeties.

It has taken me some time to realise that ‘Match of the Day’ focuses on a sport that is so adaptable that as well as being played by 22 people in a, mostly, vertical position, it can also be enjoyed by 2 people in a, mainly, horizontal position.
That can be said about most sports. Look at the Olymic Villages of days gone by. A condom machine outside every bedroom to facilitate running, jumping and throwing vertically during the day and horizontal activities in multiple rooms at night.
Nothing new under the sun here, move along.

Not a chance!
Look at all the marathons he ran…. for charity!
“Cameron is fighting so hard for a No vote. He’s fighting for his party’s interests but also to protect his own leadership… “
Not so much an “interesting theory” as a statement of the bleeding obvious.
Unless anyone seriously thinks Cameron losing the referndum would be good for him and the Conservatives ?
What’s that got to do with bummers, unless Cameron is one (he’s probably thought about it, I’ll give you that, but I meant The Dark Lord)?
Tories will be happy, Labour will be split, Lib Dems will go back to harrssing vunrable people and eating shit.
This was a reply to Number 3.
ROFL!
Cwy cwipple whine winkie wuv etc etc
You do not want AV – MMP has been the ruin of NZ – the bloody greens and other fringe parties have to be listened to here
Yea, and our PM John Key (who’s due a mutual wank with Cameron in London tomorrow I believe) is as much a left wing spastic sailing under “Conservative” colours as Cameron himself.
Call me a conspiracy theorist but their mutual enthusiasm for one world government and the rewards they’re due to receive for selling us all down that river will doubtlessly be discreetly discussed.
Test
I doubt it the UK is closed down for 2 weeks…Easter;Royal Wedding and May Bank Holiday…
Not all of the UK. There are some employers not giving anyone the day off on Friday, no extra time off in lieu and no extra pay. Just another normal working Friday.
Hopefully you will be run over by a bus.
Didn’t Cammers get the leadership of the Cons because of AV ?
No, there was a separate vote at each round with the loser dropping out.
This was a reply to 114 0 ordering seems a little fucked-up this morning – again.
NO.
It was a series of knock out rounds. With 1 MP 1 vote in each round, until there were just 2 candidates left.
No, numpty. Next question.
Depends….. Would you want David Davis as leader instead?
Good to see yaback Guido, Now about the caption contest winners……
Oh and hang Mandy
Your point is?
Piss off you attention seeking wanker.
Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap!
Wuv
Wossup ??
Mandy’s full of shit.
You love my sh*t Mark…you told me it didn’t smell
Listening to me is like taking an enema, and I like my enemas.

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Cwy cwipple whine winkie wuv etc etc etc
Oh and Guido i see you attack the Yes2AV , As a Inedepdent blogger should you not bring balance?
Surely both sides should get it?
No because he loved it when a wanker like John Reid back up Cameron.
come round here and both sides can have it
i’m not proud
Even independent blogger’s can take a view, or support a particular opinion, y’know, on their own blog.
Guido is not the BBC.
Hell! With Many on board, many people will say: “Fuck it! Now I have to vote no, or just not bother with my ballot paper!”
Damn typing in the early hours! That was Mandy, not many! Doh!
Mandy is a lord now, thanks to one T B’Liar you do not think he would drop that handle do you same could be said of Prezzer of the NO campaign
TWAT.
/\ = tosser
You don’t even needto talk to these people. C(r)apita have no powers to enter your property. They have no business to call the police. The police have no powers either without a= search or arrest warrant. You tell them to leave or you will have then done for trespass. Detector vans are a myth.
File any letters they send you in the bin or fireplace
Yes you put this on the last thread a few hours ago.
Just the first two though, remember the story continues with withdrawing my rights of implied access and here are the two follow up videos.
But the first one were posted at 13.30 ( http://order-order.com/2011/04/25/rich-marks-monday-morning-view-105/#comment-929270)
This is about AV and Mandy.
Not New Zealand then ?
Mad as a box of frogs, that’s not to say he is wrong in what he is saying, but I really wish he would drop the religiosity bullshit and stick to the politics.
He’s done anyway.
Even his nutter retard followers couldn’t keep him on TV.
A c unt from the Real IRA appears in public wearing what looks like a pair of tights on his head and reads a statement threatening more murders, whilst a bunch of other Real IRA cocks in tights stand behind him. Excuse me if this is a silly question but why wasn’t the opportunity taken to just shoot the c unts while they were there? Or at least arrest him for making death threats? Just an idea.
my exact thoughts when i saw these prats.
but you know what would happen, HUMAN RIGHTS thats what would happen.
joolz
So what’s the plan when you get desperate?
Deploy a lump of dogshit like Mandy?
Great plan you Lib Dem vermin, complain about Tory lies one day, then employ the liar King the next.
We want an end to this wretched coalition, no involvement with Lib Dem scum can ever be good for a serious party
I would vote for AV if I could watch Izzard rimming Mandy whilst wearing a Union Jack waistcoat, and doc Martens
While Indian ‘businessmen’ watch
‘appen I’m getting an erection lad, ba goom!
Don’t know where our Willy got that strange accent it’s not Romish or Wentworth or even South Yorkshire, nearest I’ve heard is that ex-cricketer from Fitzwilliam. Willy there something that you can put in your tea or there is drug Doxazosin that will help your little problem.
I’ll send you the video !
Mandy’s too evil, even by my standards.

… and in the Soukh, we had warm Boys on sticks.
The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It’s a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people.
p.s. anyone for an injunction?
Anyone else remembering Andy Marr’s sterling performance on his paper review, ignoring a super injunction story when John Terry was scoring away from home on the front pages and back pages.
I’m not surprised Marr outed himself.It was starting to look ridiculous.The Mail had profile photos of the miscreants including someone with suspiciously large ears…..
He outed himself because he probably knew that most people knew his name;the name of his lover ;the circumstances etc for some time and quite honestly didn’t actually care…
Was it Toenails he was rimming?
It was a pretty shrewd move. The stories are going to break eventually, judging by the press coverage today he being lauded as a sinner repented. Cleverly he has chosen to break the story to the Mail which would otherwise provided the most critical coverage.
It seems Marr knows how to manipulate the media.
Judging by the amount of intenet traffic and the names of the people involved being widely touted on the net …..on chat forums;sports blogs,fan sites etc I would suspect the people involved will be approaching their legal advisers later to-day…………………….for a refund
It’s in his DNA. Or so he thought.
In the US all government funded institutions have an over representation of black people. Does this also apply to the BBC?
Mandy’s message appears to be,”vote Yes and give the Tory Toff a bloody nose”. Obviously understands the salient points of AV versus FPTP then. Party political opportunism and petty spite has nothing to do with it. Mandy will do to the “Yes” campaign what he did to Cadbury’s.
Mandy also pushed through the Lloydstsb / Bank of Scotland merger, which as we now know was an unmitigated disaster. The man is incompetent but talks a good game.
Andrew Marr you are a hypocritical labour twat. Fuck you.
New liebor thick n thin
SLIME COVERED IN SLIME
So Andrew Marr is not the father of Alice Miles’s sprog.
But take a look at his Silhouette, they must have photo shopped his jug ears off.
But what hypocrisy. He takes out a super injunction when he thinks he is the dad to protect the child but when he finds out he ain’t the dad he tells the whole world about the child.

http://order-order.com/2008/01/18/story-you-wont-get-from-bbc-guardian-or/
What is Alice doing, professionally, these days ? She’s no longer writing for the Times.
Keeping up her socialist credentials and writing in the New Statesman
http://www.newstatesman.com/writers/alice_miles
So while Andrew Marr was running around getting super injunctions to stop the press reporting that he was shagging alice, she was also shagging someone else?
Alice?
Alice?
Who else was shagging Alice?
Vote yes on May 5 and really hurt Cameron hard
I’d rather hurt Clegg and Miliband. Two for the price of one!!!
Gotta be a bargain!
Miliband backed the wrong horse. Polling indicates that a majority of Labour voters are opposed to AV, and when AV is rejected (which is highly likely) Miliband could look a little foolish. If he also fails to pick up 1000 councillors on the night questions will start being asked about his leadership.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Mandelson were plotting to replace Ed with somebody more electable. If so, he’ll be encouraging Ed to nail his colours to the mast of AV’s sinking ship.
He got where he is by AV about 6 years ago
It was not AV. It was lots of individual rounds of last past the post loses, with a new vote every round until there were two candidates left, with everyone able to vote between the last two candidates.
Miliband was selected using AV and the labour party didn’t even want him!
So if the Dark Lord is on the Yes side then it’s definite No vote time, that slime doesn’t take a dump unless someone pays him.
Arh, but who is paying him that is the question
Should Chris Huhne change the way he spells his name to ‘Hoon’?
No, just try to post c u n t without the spacing and see what you get.
Hunt
You mean do a Jeremy Hunt
Yes, Mandy, he’ll certainly swing the vote. I mean, he’s generally seen as very trustworthy, isn’t he?
Can you really trust what a politico says anyway, they will say anything to get into power, then when in power, promises are duely forgotten or say we have to make compromises.
So the yes campaign is lead by transvestites, homosexuals and luvvies.
Help me out folks, I think I’m missing the point. Vote no = Lib/Lab/Con ad infinitum. Vote yes = Screw up their cosy cartel. I couldn’t give a shit who supports either side of the argument. Genuine question.
That is the correct answer. Well done.
Vote No= lib lab con, (unless this country wakes up and somehow decides that liblabcon does not work and so refuses to vote liblabcon at all)
Vote yes = more expensive, less fair version of liblabcon (unless… as above) with the added risk of electronic voting within two elections and then we would have liblabcon forever regardless of what the people actually vote for.
Vote yes = more expensive
ou have figures for that then not just quoting Gideon
Well where’s your lots figures that show that changing everything is cheaper then not ? also where’s the signed pledge from the yes lot that ERS/Kinnock won’t get any money from the taxpayer if they win ? as that would clear up a lot of S%&* !
It stands to reason that a more complex system of counting votes will be more expensive. From paying the extra election literature explaining who you should be placing in what order to suit that particular party, to paying for longer counts, to the (God forbid) electronic voting systems that the people currently pushing for a “yes” vote will be screaming out in demand for after the next election (if we ended up with AV).
We must resist electronic voting and anything that risks electronic voting, with everything we have.
There is no need for voting machines – do you believe everything you’re told?
For the uninformed, Australia has had compulsory, must number every candidate, AV for almost 100 years – still no voting machines.
Learn to think for yourself.
Electoral Reform Services Ltd briefed the Yes campaign that they were vulnerable because ERS was likely to benefit financially from a change to AV.
More profit to ERS from running ballots = more cost to the taxpayer.

They had to roll with him. Unfortunately I was not available on such short notice.
Perhaps Lord Shirtlifter of Bumhole realized with-out AV he was never going to make a come back?
He doesn’t have to now does he, the working class can kiss his …e, he is a lord at last, but he would like to get to know you Bill, watch your back.
And to show what he really thinks of labour and tory voters, one of the first things he said after the coalition agreement was signed was that he would be happy to work as a minister for a conservative prime minister if the coalition were to extend that offer to him.
That is the level of arrogance and duplicity he demonstrates.

“What does an MP who had resign from the cabinet twice know about “working harder”?”
Probably a lot more than tory wankers who have never done a day’s work in their lives, such as Call-me-Dave.
You are not quite correct about Dave but maybe you mean the heir to the Osborne baronetcy (of Ballentaylor, in County Tipperary, and Ballylemon, in County Waterford.
Except Osborne has worked in the real world, as has Cameron. Lefty wankers are happy to fantasise that their leaders have come straight from the coal-face into politics, but the reality is loads of the shadow fornt bench are millionaires who have never done a day’s work in their lives, and made their millions from inheritances or from fleecing the tax-payer.
Miliband has not done a day’s real work in his life. Neither has Ed Balls.
Tory wankers only get ‘jobs’ from their mummies and daddies.
As I said before, I am totally relaxed about becoming filthy.
Well Mandy, that’s alright then
Oh dearie me! I forgot to add “rich” to my remark.
Errrmm, and of course you know who is publishing/printing the NO2AV Guido, it couldn’t be the party with a childish picture of a tree as a logo.
It is a broad coalition of labour, conservative, and others.
“NO” campaign is set to announce 130 Labour politicians who support them tomorrow so it’s not just the Conservative Party
Vote no and wipe the smile off Mandelson’s; Miliband’s; Balls’; Izzard’s; Clegg’s and Cable’s faces.
Three good reasons to vote ‘yes’:
John Prescott says vote no.
Nick Griffin says vote no.
Dave Cameron says vote no.
Three good reasons to vote ‘no’:
Peter Mandelson says vote yes.
Ed Miliband says vote yes.
Nick Clegg says vote yes.
Andrew Marr – superinjunction – wanker
Do they really think this is about hurting Cameron ?
What shallow-minded individuals. This is about us little people keeping a fair voting system of first past the post. The winner is the winner.
Attempts to personalise this important decision stink of shear desperation and more importantly a mis-understanding of how clever the litte people of the UK are.
If you don’t get the decision you want then there is always the option of asking them again and again until they get it right
Guido the comments on this page are scrambled up (out of order)
That’s because he’s a right wing political blogger.
This never happens on a left wing blog.
A lesson to be learned there.
Is that because there’s rarely more than three comments on left wing blogs ?
30-15
Left-wingers can count to three…?
If the militant left-wingers in the NUT go on strike, nobody will be able to count to three in the future.
The Independants’ coverage of AV is going to be a bit of an eye opener for anyone who wasn’t already aware of what a shrill , hate filled and nasty bunch the limp dims are under the sandalista facade.
PS. Fawkes, if you could set the software to not post new stories up on the site till , say, 07:00 UK time, it might eliminate some of the more excitable posters and their split personalities.
Mandelson is such a foul devious bastard that his support for AV is really to encourage people to vote for the status quo. Mandelson the reptile knows perfectly well that any support he gives will have the opposite effect – but that is what he really wants to happen. This ‘man’ really supports first past the post.
Desperate yes campaign? Who says so??
Of the people i have talked to they seem to be mainly in favour of a yes vote.
That would be at a liberal democrat meeting then I presume… Most of the people I speak to are either opposed to AV or they do not give a shit about it at all, and when they see the likes of Miliband, Izzard and Mandleson in favour, they are turned off by it.
And the Yes campaign are clearly getting desperate with empty threats of lawsuits and name-calling and tweeting that the British public are stupid.
The further behind that they fall in the polls, the more desperate they become.
Depends who you ask,lad …of the people I’ve asked the majority say they are against and will be voting “NO”
It’ll come down to voter turnout and which side can get their supporters out…it’ll help if its warm and sunny too
Ask again if they voted for a Coalition Government bet they say NO! too.
Time for a change old mate I mean where’s the harm its not as if what we have is working is it!
For what it’s worth . . . I am in the No camp.
But i stick with what i said – most of those people i have talked to, think AV is a good thing. OK this is Scotchland.
I am just concerned about the complacency of the ‘oh, AV will be kicked out’ brigade. That is not what i am seeing/hearing.
If mandy has stepped in to help the yes campaign it won’t be for free. So presumably kinnochio, who stands to make loadsa money from a yes win, is dipping deep in his pocket to get him on board.
As for the message “This is our chance to hurt cameron” – so that’s what the yes campaign is all about? Not what’s best for britain or the electorate , not fairer voting then?
I’ll say it again fptp, one person one vote, is simple, straighforward and fair. Why would we change it because the odious grasping mandy says we should?
+1
FPTP is broken, but that is no reason to replace it with an even worse system. repair the boundaries and then we will have fairer votes.
Quite.
http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/swing-calculator
manipulating labour, during it’s 13 years, changed the boundaries to give them an unfair advantage and hoped it would keep them in power forever. UK polling swingometer shows this categorically. If both parties polled 40% of the votes under labour’s current organisation of the boundaries, labour would have 320plus seats and the tories 280plus.
Anyway now it hasn’t worked for them they want to change the voting system in the hope that will do it for them instead.
cameron is right to say that the boundaries/constituencies need reorganising to give a more even spread of the vote, under fptp, to each constituency.
+ another 1. Agree that keeping things simple is almost always a good idea. Additionally, those of a cynical disposition might conclude that anything Mandelson is in favour of is probably best avoided.
Right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes has revealed he took out a super-injunction to suppress details of his active campaigning for the Labour Party.
Mandleson is a vile pool of slime.
The “system” must have a lot of similar vile people, that allow his type to propser.
And your taxes are paying for him and his type.
Right wing political blogger Guido Fawkes says it’s “crazy” for the Government to end Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs), after the latest crime statistics revealed a drop in the proportion of people reporting a high-level of ASB in their area and greater confidence in the police and local authorities to deal with such cases.
Yesterday’s statistics showed that the number of crimes recorded by police in England and Wales fell by 6% in the year to end of December 2010.
Home Secretary Theresa May announced plans to ditch ASBOs in March. She wants to replace them with simpler sanctions, saying: “Where possible they should be rehabilitating and restorative, rather than criminalising and coercive.”
”Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.” – Ronald Reagan
“Vote Yes to hurt Cameron”
advises Lord Meddlesome, Leader of the
“Cut off your nose to spite your face”, faction of the Labour party.
Oh yes.
Sounds like a plan
To AV or not to AV?
Frankly it won’t make a flying farts worth of difference to the electorate, but it will make a difference to lazy fat arsed MP,s squatting on their expenses in Westminster.
The golden rule applies here…if the government of the day say NO!, then best advice is to vote YES!
MP’s Jobs for life…..vote YES and not no more it ain’t!
Replacing a relatively simple system with a more complicated one is almost certain to backfire. However, it’s up to the electorate (or at any rate, that part of it that can be bothered) to make a decision, so we’ll wait and see what they say.
I can see how it might be complicated for Politicians old mate, that is not the issue.
Won’t be complicated for the electorate unless of course you think they are too thick to work out were to put a few crosses.
After all as per normal the voter can vote (or not) for who represents them in Parliament, BUT!
NOT WHAT THEY SAY!
So what good is that!
Erm … if you put a few crosses on, you’ll have spoiled your nice new AV ballot paper, old bean.
So, yes – the public are too thick to understand AV. QED.
*DING* Next!
As if it matters where you put one, two or twenty two crosses you can bet your boots your views as a voter will be ignored.
All you can do or cannot do is to vote some party approved android to represent the party and himself, You my friend don’t have a say in what they do once elected into a job.!
Laugh it up!
The ‘first past the post’ lobby must be ecstatic that Mandelson is supporting AV. I wonder how many folk will turn away from AV simply because of this reptilian’s support.
Why are Judges so keen to protect the rich and famous from the consequences of their misbehaviour?
The Ladies of the night, particularly those with a penchant for kinky rubberware, will tell you that the Judiciary are their best customers.
They are discreet, pay well, and can ensure that the Police are always looking the other way.
AV won’t end tactical voting; it will simply make it more complicated.

“It sounds like someone has had a lot of time out of the loop to come up with theories.”
Really Guido? Is this a completely untrue bizzaro theory? No truth to the rumours that Cameron and Clegg had an agreement not to involve their parties directly, which is why both kept their remarks to a minimum during the opening stages? No truth that once the polls showed how close it was Cameron broke that agreement to rally the troops?
Gosh no who could ever think that?
Cameron hasn’t made any personal attacks on Lib Dems in any of his speeches. He has attacked the AV system.
Didn’t say he had, but in his position making a statement at all brings party politics into the fray.
Peter Mandelson recently came top in a poll of who was the most disliked politician in Britain, and the Yes campaign think his interventention is going to help them?
Lol Lol Lol Lol!
Perhaps the YES campaign is run by NO campaign double agents after all.
He’s even hated more by Liebore than the Tories. LOL
You might want to concentrate less on your bitching and more on your spelling.
I take offence about these grave allegations about my integrity, honesty and sexuality and my good friend and MP Mike Hancock will totally support me on this. Any more of this, and on Mike’s advice I will take legal action.
Right on Peter. Your integrity, like mine is above reproach. Sweeties, sweeties little girl.
Anybody seen this in the Speccer?
“The Loony Left is alive and well,” brayed Cameron at PMQs. Indeed it is. For a start, it is alive and well in the form of Johanna Kaschke, late of Respect and before that (or was it?) of the Communist Party. She left Labour in 2007 after having failed to secure its nomination for Bethnal Green & Bow, and she ended that year by joining the Conservative Party, in which she has rapidly become quite a well-connected activist.
In fact, the entire SWP faction of Respect in her own Tower Hamlets not long ago defected to her latest party after having fallen out with the Islamists. Around the country, local factions of various Asian and other origins routinely defect from Labour or other things to the Conservatives on frankly communal grounds, and are always welcomed with open arms.
But of course they are. It was David Cameron’s vehicles that toured Ealing Southall blasting out in Asian languages that Hindu, Muslim and Sikh festivals would be made public holidays under the Tories. It was his “Quality of Life Commission” (don’t laugh, it’s real) that then proposed giving the power to decide these things to “local community leaders”.
What else would those figures be given the power to decide in return for filling in every postal voting form in their households in the Bullingdon Boys’ interest, and making sure that all their mates did likewise? To the statelets thus created – little Caliphates, little Hindutvas, little Khalistans, and so on – people minded to live in such places would flock from the ends of the earth, entrenching the situation for ever.
The Conservative Party quite recently welcomed, with some fanfare, John Marek, who was fiercely anti-monarchist and anti-hunting while Labour MP for Wrexham, and who went on to become the founder and only ever Leader of Forward Wales, a Welsh separatist, Welsh-speaking supremacist, economically Hard Left, unyieldingly Politically Correct, Tommy Sheridan-endorsed, RMT-funded party which was only dissolved in January of last year.
Will Cameron also recruit, if he has not already done so, Marek’s fellow founder-members of Forward Wales: Ron Davies, one of the very few former Cabinet Ministers without a seat in either House, and a noted campaigner both against shooting and for the abolition of the monarchy, recalling Marek’s own parliamentary question to Tony Blair requesting that the Oath of Allegiance be replaced with something acceptable to anti-monarchists; Graeme Beard, a former Plaid Cymru councillor in Caerphilly; and Klaus Armstrong-Braun, who in his time on Flintshire County Council was the only Green Party member ever elected at county level in Wales? Cameron has already signed up Mohammad Asghar, a Member of the Welsh Assembly who has moved seamlessly from Plaid Cymru to the Cameroons.
As well as Mandelson of the Young Communist League, who would have retained his Cabinet seat if Cameron had won an overall majority, do a little digging on Cameron platform-sharer John Reid, the unrepentant old Communist Party enforcer at Stirling University Students’ Union (with its large cash turnover) while the Cold War was on. On Charles Clarke, the unrepentant old Soviet fellow-travelling President of the NUS. On David Aaronovitch, the unrepentant old plain-and-simple Communist Party President of the NUS. On Alan Milburn, who ran a Trotskyist bookshop called Days of Hope, known to its clientele as “Haze of Dope”, also precisely the position of the Radical Rightists who have now come of age in the Unconservative Party. On Geoff Mulgan, old Trotskyist ex-Director of Demos, Blair’s favourite think tank and itself a literal continuation of the dissolved Communist Party of Great Britain. And on numerous other Cameron courtiers besides.
And so on, and on, and on, and on, and on. They obviously find the 1980s Radical Right’s company as congenial as they find each other’s. As well they might. Blue is the new Red-Brown. Oh, yes, the Loony Left, like the Loony Right, is only too obviously alive and well.”
