Izzard the Labour Lizzard

Like that persistent tranny who won’t leave you alone at a bar,* Eddie Izzard isn’t fooling anyone. The formerly frocked comedian has given his full-blown support to the “Yes to AV” Campaign, but his pick-up rate hasn’t been too good in the past. Izzard was last seen telling the country that Gordon had saved the world and that we should join the Euro.

But the joke isn’t funny any more. Labour insiders suggest that Izzard is only sucking up to Miliband to take MEP Claude Moraes’ position on the London Labour List for the European Elections. He has been attached to Red Ed’s hip at virtually every Labour Party event since Miliband took over.

Claude is said to be aware Izzard is after his job and is not a happy bunny…

UPDATE : A few minutes after this was posted this popped up:

*Years ago when Guido lived in London’s East End, Izzard used to frequent his local boozer. Eddie would hold court in a cocktail dress to admiring young acolytes. The regulars thought he was a twat.

UPDATE II : Apparently Boulton just put this to Izzard and he confirmed he was interested “in 2020″. Yeah right…

          Eddie Lizzard is a hoon of the highest order. His electoral chances are about as good as St. Esther of Rantzen, though she wasn’t burdened by being hitched to the Stupid Traitor Party that did so much to smash the UK.

          As for tomorrow, No has it in the bag, so send a real message by spoiling your vote with a message that matters:

          EU referendum NOW!

        So hard to know how to vote on this AV thing.

        That nice transvestite comedian says I should vote yes, as does Colin Firth – who was really good in the King’s speech. Joanna Lumley says yes too.

        On the other had, James Cracknell says I should vote no – and he one a gold medal in the Olympics. Both Ian Gower and Darren Gough also say I should vote no and they were really good cricketers. Darren won that dancing thing also – and that can only add to his credibility on constitutional reform.

        If only I knew how Patrick Stewart would vote – then I could be sure that I was doing the right thing.

          I too was in a quandray of how I should vote in The Scottish Elections tomorrow then I saw a party political broadcast with that fine actor Richard Wilson in it asking me to vote Labour.

          Who can forget his wonderful catchphrase” I dont beleive it” and that classic sketch with the Skip and the car ,
          I remembered how I roared with laughter at the Double glazing man sketch when I saw it for the first time.

          Oh happy days.

          Anyway back to the broadcast…vote Labour ? Not Fucking Likely Mate !!!!

          Anyone whose choice at the ballot box is swayed by the opinions of vacuous zelebs is a tossflap.

          Having said that, I am more likely to listen to the opinion of the bloke who played Captain Picard than Neddie Lizzard any day of the week, so none of us are immune to such tactics. That’s why the spin merchants use them.

          I used to like Lizzard. Now it is very clear for all to see he is nothing more than a traitorous, EU-worshipping, Labour-loving uber-tossflap with (dis-) honours.

            I say – that’s a bit unnecessary. How else is one to sensibly decide the manner of constitutional reform if it isn’t to weigh up the opposing celebrity endorsements?

            Joanna Lumley was really hot in the Avengers – so maybe I should vote yes.

    AV is like cheese. Everyone likes cheese, but some like Dairylea and some like cheder and some like blue…The moon is made of cheese. Only its Edam. There’s a Dutchman living in the moon saying “Help Help! I’m surrounded by bloody cheese..Help!”
    Only he says it in a Dutch way which is more “He shevery body. Shelp me ya! i am eating the cheese and schmoking the red bit on the edam”

    What is that red bit for? Why doesn’t Dairylea have a red candle making kit on each triangle? {James mason voice} I’d like some cheese please. With the red bit round the edge, but not Edam..cause Edam’s crap”

At one point under questioning from “Brillo” he seemed to be distancing himself from the YES to AV’s assertion that AV wil make politicians both more hard-working or honest..at one point I thought he was going to turn into Wolfie Smith as he shouted “Power to the People” as his closing statement when Brillo asked him to encapsulate the argument in favour of AV…trouble of course like all Labour supporting idiots he was completely wrong..AV will deliver less power to the electorate not more..still when as the truth ever bothered the left

      Do you know who I am? says:

      I’m sure some posh London bint is going to help Labour win votes in Scotland. Not.

      But why is she doing it anyway? She is not an MP, Councillor or celebrity. Or is she doing the I AM the Mrs Spe@ker thing?

        It’s amazing , isn’t it? This fuckwitted socialist parasite married an odious dwarf cretin and has lived ever since at the taxpayers’ expense, and now struts around the country (probably at our expense, again) in the mistaken belief that she’s popular.

        I hope there’s a particularly nasty tumour growing inside her.

    Izzard is prone to lying like all Labourites.

    Today he was on Andrew Neil’s programme suporting the AV yes campaign. He changed his tack every time Neil asked him a question or rebutted his answer. He tried to give the impression that he was not supporting any party but only himself. Last week he was in Scotland canvassing votes for the Labour Pary. Non-political my a**e!

    Saw Izzard on the Daily Politics Show. Thought he was as thick as two short planks. Seems to me that he is trying to reinvent himself.
    Join the Green Rent Boys is my advice Eddie.
    Another useless Labour Ed.

      David Ford, Alliance
      Margaret Richie, sdlp
      Gerry Kelly, Sinn Fein

      All couldnt wait to be photographed with Izzard on his flying visit to Belfast the other day. He’s a celebrity, you know.

    Well Paid Shill says:

    The man keeps trying to make himself popular in the public eye, he had his 5 minutes of fame in the mid 90′s and now needs public office to provide him with a pension ’cause nobody will actually pay him for his time.

    Vote NO! to teach this twat a lesson in humility, though I doubt it will take.

Iran’s military chief-of-staff, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi…

“The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel”.



The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
