Lord Tebbit has his say on ‘aggressive homosexuals’:
“Why shouldn’t a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn’t two elderly sisters living together marry each other? I quite fancy my brother!”
Google-eyed-Dave
Andy Peirce mk2?
To be Frank. It is a complete mystery why not one journalist or blogger took the trouble to google vicky pryce 12 march 2003 until this afternoon. She has been saying for days now that she was attending a high profile conference at the time of the speeding offence.
By the way the Huhnes are on the electoral roll in London for 2003 so she would have had no need to drive thru Essex to get to her job or the LSE unlike her MSP husband returning from Brussels
Sorry should be MEP
They lived in London SW4 so no need for Vicky Price go via Essex to get to her job at the DTI or LSE conference.
I hear that essex is very beautiful in March.
At night.
Who wouldn’t break the speed limit if a couple of lezzers invited them round for a bit of 3-in-a-bed?
If Huhne was driving back from Brussels, then he wouldn’t have crossed the river into Essex to get to Clapham.
@Realist, ah so ordinarily true but these aren’t normal lezzers, these are Lib Dem lezzers. Think matted pubes, think months of rancid tampons bunged up there, tag nuts dangling, moustaches, warts, oozing sores and gammy teeth. Anywho, enjoy your tea…..
Yes Lib Dem lezzers are pretty nasty but imagine what Labour ones are like.
Why do you bother – please fuck off you tosser and learn how to spell
Is it up to you what and who makes comments on this site?
Quite
PS Crick is a Prick!
I support Billy’s right for free speech. But with the comments he come’s up with he should be open and whiter than white, for some reason I don’t think he is.
Crick is a leftie prick!!
Billy is (and possibly is in) an institution
So leave da bra alone innit
No need. The concept of the spellcheck O’s alive and well, especially if you turn it on…
It’s built into Fire-fox, well the British English Dictionary is a built in add-on…
You might also want to download 4d-Bl0ck to get rid of the p0p-ups.
CRICK….as is the convention on here it is polite to HT (hat tip ) the originator. Manners!!
At least a commentator by the name of purpleDogzz nailed him in comment #1 on crick’s own blog! Nice one!
A Conservative peer accused of fiddling his parliamentary expenses claimed for accommodation when he had in fact been on a plane to India, a court has heard.
Lord Hanningfield, 70, is appearing before Chelmsford Crown Court accused of six charges of false accounting between March 2006 and May 2009.
Prosecutor Clare Montgomery QC accused him of claiming for hotels in London when he had returned to his Essex home.
Lord Hanningfield, appearing under his name Paul White, denies the charges.
Hang the Hunt.
Your mum
We await your instructions,Guido !
7 minutes? You twat!
Go to Jail go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go do not collect £200.
Get her Community Chest out for the lads.
Get the Lezzers tits out for the ………………girls!!
How does Billy get in so fast to be No 1 EVERYTIME ? It’s NOT fair !
A bit like his sex – always gets there first.
He is a first degree arsehole who appears to have missed all his English classes at school
Oooh, so much anger with this one.
too many deep fried mars bars.
Have you tried deep-fried Twinkies in batter?
Fricking Delicious!!
At least Billy would have beaten Crick to the harvesting of this story – though it might have come out in less than perfect idiom.
Come to think of it, Billy would be the perfect man to improve the standard of BBC news reporting, at least on the http://WWW...
A gentleman always comes second….
Yeah, and?
What’s not fair about it, it’s just that he hasn’t got a life, like we more intelligent humans
I am sure Hitler shared your view.
I invoke Goodwins law and this thread is hereby injuncted and / or shredded.
Bloody hell, Bob!
Where the hell have you been?
No, don’t tell me…
He hasn’t got a job or life. He says he works for his friend in the private sector. He doesn’t say what type of business they are involved in.
None of yours!
A mere coincidence of course…
what gets my goat is that the taxpayer pays for him to tweet and be a lazy fucker bumming rent boys and doing a Tom Baldwin, At least with the bloke from the Mail most of the country dont have to buy the paper.
This just shows the media bias in protecting “Thier” freinds, I dont care that the Guardian or Mail does it but for the BBC to so baised and lazy (while being on fat wages) is a pisstake to millions forced to pay the telly tax.
You can choose to buy the guardian and the like but most people are bullied into paying for a left wing drug infested propeganda channel.
Not a supporter of the Beeb then Billy??
I somehow doubt he earns enough to pay tax
Oh, do fuck off – Billy’s at least entertaining unlike you miserable Jock c’unts.
I say, that’s a bit rich coming from someone who is a c’unt and deeply unentertaining.
@ Look in the mirror
Ball hit helmit , 5 penatly runs added.
It’s taken me years to become this much of a c’unt – before I hit pension age I hope to manage Scottish levels of c’untishness.
I have yet to see an entertaining post by any of your lot – you’re all too busy taking offence.
Is your family (partner and kid(s)) on dole?
To be fair, Time Team isn’t bad some weeks.
Hang on, though, isn’t that Channel 4?
Then there’s Marcus Brigscock. What a giant of comedy!
I saw an episode where they didnt find anything.
I felt a sense of achievement at the end of it for having made it all the way to the end.
I’m a great fan of the geophysics – the skill with which they discern roman villas from a random sea of pixels is truly inspiring.
Why they bother with it is sometimes beyond me, unless they think that watching a student walking behind an expensively instrumented zimmer frame is good TV?
Carrine the old blond bint has better tits than charlie dimmock,its top tv man,sod the fossils and relics!
I hear there is an episode in production in which the Team unearth Tony Blairs expense claims.
Yes, vintage Carrine was the reason I wouldn’t miss a week. Very well stacked.
It needs Carenza back. I would.
i am fed up with BEEB giving arsebook and twatter product placement all over their programs.
Hope they are paying Beeb a big fat fee…..
I think the deal will involve gifts for “key” bribed members of staff.
Remember AlBBC is extortion funded so it’s run for the benefit of the staff, not the people who fund it.
He’s quick off the mark that Crick person. He’s not bugged your ‘phone/looked over your shoulder/hidden in your lavvy has he? I’d check if I was you Guido.
Funny how Crick is quick on the mark on this case, yet couldn’t mention that Woolas was an old mate and former Newsnight researcher.
But he could just do an Andrew Marr and just skim over the newspaper reviews ignoring inconvenient stories on the front pages, the back pages and all over half the tabloids in favour of churning out stories verbatim from the Guardian, Unite, and UKuncut.
i nearly threw the tv out of the window yesterday morning during marr’s paper review when hoggart, marr and toksvig were banging on about city people earning too much, funnily enough marr’s 600k a year was not deemed excessive by his lefty chums……
Is that the Oksvig whose every other sentence is ‘I’m a lesbian you know. Did you know I’m a lesbian’?
Yes, that’s the one. Like Joe Brand, Marcus whatsit, and all the rest of them, she’s got a permanent, job for life within media-land.
She’s got a neck on her saying that
Sadly, no legs…
Newspaper reviews on the television are seldom reviews of a range of stories in newspapers.
They are nearly always an excuse for some half-wit to give their unwanted and biased opinion on Government policy. If I wanted to be exposed to that kind of lazy “journalism”, I’d read the Guardian.
Read the Guardian!!???!?
Steady on old chap
Yep, one with 3 kids, I gather.
Not Crick one of his unpaid interns
All that’s missing are the words “by reading order-order.com” between “discovered” and “that”…
Talking of words,
Anagrams for “Chris Huhne”:
Enrich Hush

Anagrams for “Lib Dem Losers”:

Libeled Ms Or
And just in case he has to spend some time in jail:

If you use Christopher, rather than Chris – you can see how he aims to win any legal battle –
“Christopher Huhne” = “Hope c’unt hires HRH”.
http://politicalscrapbook.net/2011/05/chris-huhne-speeding-points-cctv-company/
Don’t know which is the worst I can call Huhne
A Politition
Or a SHIT
How about ‘a shit politician’?
Thats all of em.
A tautology.
A pleonasm, actually.
both, actually
Given the number of shit politicians, a panoply is possibly apt…
There is a certain poetic schadenfeude in seeing the biter bit, isn’t there?
If Mr Crick is reading this, I’ll be in the Kofta King Kebab House in Edgware Rd later, available for intervews.Don’t leave it too late,as I plan to be shitfaced innit by 8 o’clock,and then we get da ladies to do some jiggy jiggy.
You may be out, but In šāʾ Allāh you’ll never be reinstated as a policeman again.
Crick has added to the story – he says he has spoken to one of the organisers who confirmed Pryce actually attended at the LSE conference that night.
Crick then says: “In itself, this fact proves nothing, but it makes it pretty unlikely that Vicky Pryce could have been driving in Essex beween 6pm and 8pm that evening”. But he doesn’t explain what evidence there is that someone received speeding points for an offence committed between 6pm and 8pm that day. Where does he get this from? If there are records showing Pryce as having received points for a supposed speeding offence at that date/time, then it’s game over for Huhne.
Crick’s comment suggests he has such evidence. Why is he not trumpeting it more?
No he’s not if you read the whole piece all he is saying is that between 6pm and 8pm on that day she could not have been driving through Essex.
Look at another way, how long would it take to drive from the LSE to the A12 and onwards.
Could the car have been logged for a congestion charge payment at some point?
scoop on newshite tonight?
The other scandal (the one with SEX in it); would it be possible for a man to force a woman to perform fellatio on him without, say, a knife in his hands.?
Would you force your manhood between a pair of sharp African Teeth?
Regularly
You could probably persuade a particularly stupid woman that fellatio is the kiss of life.
I have on many an occasion.
clearly not, which is why she ran off and told the NYPD.
This article is suggesting that sodomy is the alleged offence not forced fellatio.

Blimey
Not so slick Crick.
I think he should get a shotgun up the arse as punishment.
He’s a fucking plaigarising mutherf*cker.
Burn him. And all of the other BBC plaigarists and pinkos.
You do know what would happen if you pulled the trigger?
Can we apply for a art grant and find out?
This year’s prize is yours.
Newsnight are avoiding your scoop by leading with Kelvin Mckenzie’s emails.
Ah well. One rule for us, one rule for a media empire in receipt of a guaranteed minimum £3.6 billion a year.
Yes, but wouldn’t you rather watch me than read the Sun?
Yes.
But only if Paul Mason isn’t on the show.
Yes, for a while anyway
Not really.
The Sun’s fun and no sneers from someone with a bad case of Dunning-Kruger.
I’m more interested in Kelvin’s new internet radio venture – Sport Tonight.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/may/16/kelvin-mackenzie-sports-tonight
Unfortunately he appears to have employed that buffoon Mike Parry who used to regularly mangle his words on TalkSport in the mornings, but we should wish Kelvin and Lord Ashcröft well.
Come to think of it, Billy Bowden only appeared after Parry left TalkSport – is there a connection?
I suppose the really sad thing is how we all want him to be sent done…
Wonder if he’s reading this…
I think the word is “down” Mr Pedant
Quite wright…ollocks… (must try harder)
That Crick is right knob and should grow up and learn some respect , right , whose round is it ?
It’s not cricket !
You know even less about cricket than you know about economics you cretin.
I’ve just thought of a wizard new TV panel game

Mr and Mrs
And what do points make???????
Er…. no, Mr Huhne – they make a criminal record for perverting the course of justice.
Good game, good game.
Anyone who Googled “Vicky Pryce LSE 12 March 2003″ anytime after 26 November 2008 (when the page was last updated) would have seen on Danny Quah’s website all the evidence you need to bring down that Huhne the Huhne.
Guido, you should try making a deliberate, unimportant error in each posting so that you can see who is copying it.
Like a spelling mistake, you mean? He already does that…
The post of sub-editor etc. etc…
Guido, you should try making a deliberate, unimportant error in each posting so that you can see who is copying it.
This method could become known as Billy Bowden’s secret.
Frank Muir pioneered it with his various books of lists, which were widely plaigarised by competitors. He looked for the ‘hooks’ (minor errors, eg mistranslations) that he’d inserted (sometimes inadvertantly) and sued whenever they appeared in other similar books.
And I always thought he was so nice on Call My Bluff.
What a cantankerous old git!
What?!!!!!
There couldn’t be more lists than those from Dale , Mrs Dale’s, Diary.
Can’t say I’m much in favour of speed cameras but I do feel that this particular example of the device should be preserved for posterity; maybe with a small commemorative plaque or even simple memorial with wording along the lines of: “Here lies buried the political career of a self serving non-entity.”
Flowers would not, one feels, be appropriate.
Or “Here are the details of someone else”
As Huhne made a tidy sum out of speed cameras and cctv spy cameras, it is a delicious irony that the very things he peddled in business, have come back to bite his worthless arse. Likely, his eco-loonery, will do the same in time.
Unfortunately the starvation the Melons will cause will not just affect them.
Those speed cameras are useless. If anything, they slow traffic down.
Why do people not realise that –
a) their car speedo already overstates their speed by about 5-10%, and
b) the cameras are set at (speed limit * 1.1) + 1 mph?
If I’m on a 50mph stretch, cruising at an indicated 58 or so, I never slow down and have never been caught by a camera – why does every other bugger slow down to about 45 for the cameras?
Never understood that one.
Is it because you’ve given your number plates 50 coats of hair lacquer?
I was trying to read the Telegraph over the shoulder of a fellow commuter ( seldom buy the Riddell infested rag these days) and saw a picture of the gorgeous pouting media solicitor Charlotte Harris ( eminently shaggable IMO) next to an article about Huhne; has he called in the legal people ?
She likes to flash the thigh as well.
Who, this one?
http://www.mishcon.com/people/charlotte_harris
Indeed, I would.
Could you afford her fees and retainers though ???…what with “Refreshers ” an ‘all ???
She was on the dismal 10 O-clock Live the other week and struck me as utterly dim.
Mind you, not as dim as Lauren Laverne.
but with a better vajazzle
hir legs wus mazled oan the television
I tried that once but the sod turned off the M60 before me
Since when have the MONGS at the BBC ever been good at proper journalism? Nearly 4 billion a year and the c.u.n.t.z still have to get info from others.
Diversity init?
What would Maggie do? “I never hugged the BBC, I bombed it!” or “The problem with the BBC is that they always run out of other peoples money”
She should have destroyed it. The BBC is a far greater enemy to this country, than any trade union.
You all owe me £600,000, so I can afford expensive lawyers. Because I’m worth it.
They don’t come anymore expensive than me buddy. You can contact me at Shyster, Flywheel & Shyster
Guido, time for a twitter update on the latest superinjunctions
Seconded.
What, twos-up already?
There must be a footballer involved – one with a dozen title medals on his toilet door, perhaps?
You can get them bedded inside a transparent toilet seat in the same style as Prescott used, apparently. He had one fitted inside his campaign Transit.
No wonder Huhne hates bloggers
Scum like Hunhe and Marr are like junkies who hate cops.
I wonder if the European Parliament would have a record of Huhne’s expenses claims for March, 2006? Might they include petrol receipts in Belgium or Holland, (dated and timed and tied by dedicated key fob to a particular vehicle)? Or a ferry booking? Isn’t the EAW fun?
Can this one – wrong date.
That and.. EU.. keeping expenses receipts?
Oh, les sense-of-humour de l’anglais!
Huhne is just going to have to keep his finger in the dyke and hope for the best

Tim Henman is clearly highly talented and is worth every penny of his £200,000 fee for two weeks work at Wimbledon at the end of June.
I agree
Come to think of it, I think I’ll ask for more
The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Colonel Gadaffi.
Of all the attrocities that man has committed, surely there can be none worse that cheating at cricket.
Bastard!
Yes he done a Peter Hain and co to the pitch.
Glad the intern didnt write the headline, Could have been funny then.
Another bent one whose story doesn’t stack up:

No surprise that the BBC emphasise that he’s a Tory.
Pity they didn’t investigate another 300 or so as well, but you can be sure that Hannington will face the full force of outraged BBC opprobrium…
Why has Lord Taylor not been thrown in his cell yet ?
He’s awaiting sentence – probably for social reports (and I’m not kidding).
They’re still fitting the Smallbone kitchen.
West Ham hope to appoint a new manager in the next two to three weeks after parting company with Avram Grant, BBC Sport understands.
The club announced his exit after Sunday’s defeat at Wigan, which resulted in them being relegated.

Well……………….. Its better the Goron Brown ………………………..Just………….
What? Huhne off to work for two pornographers and a dildo demonstrator dolly?

You daft old codger the amount of money you are on you could of hired a handful or legal prossies to come entertain you in your hotel room.
Oui, but then ah would ‘ave to take out les injunction super.
Ex Attorney-General Eliot Sptizer reminds you that prostitution in not legal in the State of NY.
The truth had better never come out or I am in deep shit.
PM on R4 had the Beeboid politico refusing to say that ‘the other person’ is Huhne’s wife. Why?
They’re treating it like a big joke. Get on the case, Beeboids, I want him out sharpish!
Sorry to disappoint, Nick…….I suspect that it’ll be kicked into touch by DPP…… if it ever gets that far……… on grounds of ….”Insufficient Chance of a Conviction” although it’ll probably “do” for Huhne politically if the police decide there are sufficient grouns to forward the file for referral
There’s no mystery, Crick
Mr Strauss – Kahn is innocent until proven guilty, of course.
However, when he goes to gaol how easy is it getting a taxi in Guantanamo Bay?
Labour must be in trouble. They cannot be paying those amoeba to come here and cause trouble any more. Tough life with the cuts and all that.
You should do a review of the year (or even month) showing which memorable stories were broken by you – and by whom.
I’m surprised Guido isn’t asking his usual cui bono question – two senior LibDems and the those who like nuclear power spring to mind.
I wrote it on your blog at 10.17am yesterday.
One wonders, in the land of Aunty, where in the timeframe of being behind the curve that £4Bpa doesn’t buy you, ‘discovery’ lies vs. ‘has learned’.
Sources are asking.
