Lembit for London Lumbering Along
The LibDem establishment is desperate to avoid Lembit becoming their candidate for London Mayor, but that’s not stopping him. Ballot papers will go out to London members in mid-July and he seems to be the only candidate anyone has heard of. Nominations close in fifteen days…
Lembit is the closest thing the LibDems have in terms of name recognition to a Boris or a Ken, and he seems to be calming down somewhat. He announced his latest squeeze on Facebook rather than in Hello and OK, but Guido is worried for the campaign. The website is a shocker, phone-calls aren’t returned, and apparently the money isn’t exactly pouring in. For the greater cause of merriment and livening things up Guido was all set to donate. But there isn’t a donate function on his website. Hmm…
He is entertaining and a bit Cheeky, But still mile`s behind Bories, but mile`s in fron of ken liviscum.
Sorry, that should be “Boris” and “LivingScum”
He is marginally better than Livingslime, but it is much like stepping in dogshit with one shoe vs two. It is unpleasant in both cases.
I will win this time. I have so many postal voters busy filling in their voting slips right now.
He would be head and shoulders above McClegg’s popularity. Both dull and a waste of space, but what has that got to do with politics.
Weak story. Mike Tuffrey will get it – and you know what, he actually know what he is doing.
Hence the limp dick walk.
Guido,this dude is so forgotten in almost 2 hours he has only raised 50 or so comments on this blog-is that a record
I seem to remember gordon pre election hitting 300 regularly
It should be miles and not mile’s, as well.
The deputy prime minister’s office is ineffective, Liberal Democrat junior ministers are spread too thinly, and many policy decisions are made in regular evening phone calls between Nick Clegg and David Cameron, according to one of the most thorough studies of the coalition’s workings so far undertaken.
The study, conducted by the respected Constitution Unit, involved interviews with more than 60 key players in Whitehall.
It found most decisions were reached through informal channels as opposed to the formal coalition machinery set up by the government when it began.
The report said the key bilateral meeting of the week is between Cameron and Clegg and takes place on Monday morning every week, attended by chiefs of staff and senior officials.
There are preparatory meetings for the bilateral talks on Thursday or Friday. Cabinet colleagues and officials can ask for items to go on the agenda to get resolved at this level, and the report disclosed that Cameron and Clegg often talk by phone on Sunday evenings ahead of reaching a decision in the formal bilateral on Monday.
The Constitution Unit said it did not find the two parties were at ideological odds or involved in frequent personal disagreements.
Its report said: “The informality of coalition decision making is based on high levels of trust between the leadership of the two parties. Trust, and the importance of compatible personalities, is essential for coalition government.”
Brown spent all our money, Cameron is giving it away to be charitable. Clueless McClegg makes one more blunder after another. Neither of them could make a decision to save their lives or help the country from the mess it is in.
If Brown has spent all the money, where is the money coming from to fund
1) Foreign Aid £11bn a year
2) EU net loss over £40bn a year
3) Give money to basket case countries in EU £10bn plus
4) War with Libya, £1bn plus
5) Pay increasing number of unemployed
6) Rescue care homes, will end up costing another £6bn plus.
7) Top to bottom NHS reorganisation, will end up costing £20bn plus
8) Benefits for the illegal immigrants getting amnesty
There are more, the country should be washed with money t5o do all these thing and more.
From the same place Brown got it, Taxes far too high and excessive borrowing!
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg announced last week that the long-awaited Green Investment Bank (GIB) aimed at boosting the UK’s low-carbon economy will begin lending by April 2012.
He said the bank would help rebalance the economy, “creating opportunities across the country in a range of different industries”.
The GIB’s initial priorities for investment will be in the fields of renewable energy, waste management, energy efficiency and carbon capture and storage. Later, it will seek to make investments in nuclear energy and transport.
The Treasury has guaranteed £3 billion in initial capital for the bank and expects that this will lever in an extra £15 billion of private investment in green infrastructure by 2014/15.
The Constitution Unit, hmmm, sounds like another Quango run and funded by the usual suspects.
‘He ( Robert Hazell head og CU )has been awarded around 25 major research grants. These include four grants from the ESRC, and research funds totalling over £3m from the Ministry of Justice, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Gatsby Charitable Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation, Nuffield Trust, Pilgrim Trust.’
Respected my arse, just another quango hoovering up our money for the benefit of it’s political masters.
He’s very cheeky.
Can’t this misshapen troll get a proper fucking job. He’s a less palatable version of the Elephant Man – clearly unqualified for fuck all aprt from lecturing us on what to do at our expense.
Couldn’t he become a commercial pilot. I read somewhere that he has a pilots licence. Why must these people constantly be after the public teat?
Take that back. From what I know of the elephant man he was an honest, decent human being.
Elephant man: Proteus syndrome.
Lembit just FUGLY. And annoying. And a lib dumb to boot. And used to bof creepy sian the weather woman (wth the plastic fingernails).
Boris makes more sense.
Cheeky!
I can’t believe he’s running.
He’s a diddler, aka, thief who likes helping himself to our money, and who was booted out by his constituents because of this.
There is something deeply rotten in our country at the moment when one thief of our money is about to be massively rewarded for doing this, Laws, and another is allowed to stand for London mayor.
Clegg and the Dems should be so ashamed of themselves. The dirty party that lacks any form of moral scruples.
+1. Let’s hope loathsome Lembit doesn’t stand – aren’t there any honest Dems? – and if he does he loses horribly.
This is an awful reflection on Clegg’s judgement.
I can’t believe this either.
It’s finally happened, we actually are living through the looking glass.
I can’t wait. All that lovely council tax money just waiting for me.
She who must be paid will be so happy.
Yep. If you consider getting caught red handed stealing our money entertaining he’s definately that.
I object strongly to having my tax pounds stolen by this c unt.
Don’t the Lib Dems have any shame?
Clearly not. If they did Laws would not be about to be promoted and tealeaf Lembit would not be a candidate for mayor.
Anyone who disses me on this blog can go f uck yourselves.
Your money will still be welcome though, and taken whether you assent or not.
Lembit is deeply honest and has my full support.
Lembit has my full support, as does David Laws. Both are deeply honest men.
Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.
What’s that you say Guido, no donate function on his website?
This sounds like the website of a man who has own approach to obtaining our funds.
What can you mean?
F uck off Lembit. London’s in enough trouble at the moment.
Rumbled c’unty
Fuc k off. I’m better than David Laws aren’t I?
In the same way that syphilus is better than AIDS.
I’ll say this for you Lembit, you’ll be good for London waistlines. When people hear you talking about crime they’ll have a tough job keeping down their lunches.
Seriously, if you elect this diddler as your mayoral candidate you might as well jump off a cliff, electoral wise. You’re barely holding onto an outcrop as it is.
A few years ago, a poster on DK’s site described him as a “wobbly-faced cnut shovel” – which seemed pretty apt.
That’s just cosmetic. Dig beneath and you come across something a lot more worrying.
Are the populus looking for a mayor or a village idiot?
So, usual Lib Dem efficiency then?
Sounds as if his campaign will be as successful as the Limp Dims ‘Yes2AV’ car crash.
If the Lib Dems didn’t exist, someone would have to invent them – if only for entertainment value…
Not all LibDems are useless, look at me. I would make a great Mayor of London and would certainly outdo Boris in the shagging stakes.
Sadly they do exist.
Can I donate some jizz? Lembit must be running out by now.
I’ll have it in my arse
Blimey Guido. D’you owe him a favour
or something. He is an absolutely huge
cretin.
That is very offensive; to cretins.
Yes Guido, with all due respect, what the fcuk?
Are diddlers okay in your book?
Why do you hate London Guido? Were you mugged here?
London Guido? The swine! He and Glasgow Luigi………………! How well I remember! (copyright: The Goon Show 1958)
who?
Just imagine the biggest knobhead you have ever met, only less amusing, more shifty and stupid.
well he did represent the folk (spits) of mongomeryshire an inbred enclave nowhere in north wales
Never been there. Is it as much fun as Norfolk?
depends how you view 285 days rain a year coupled with a town full of retards with a superiority (!!!) complex WTF
They weren’t inbred enough to re-elect him after he was caught diddling.
+1 And a thieving so and so at that.
Fun gossip scandal from the US of A where someone has done a Chris Bryant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-sb8e3P4LM
Why do so many politicians have to get their one-eyed trouser snakes out ??
Tracey used to say I was a LimpDim ‘mare.
Here’s a line from Sylvia Plath that might explain it:
“Bastard. Mast*rbating a glitter. He wants to be loved.”
Even Montgomeryshire and the jungle voters got of him. What happened to his stand-up comedy routine by the way? Bet that was a right belter.
Gwho
Humour, eh? Makes me laugh.
The thought of you as mayor makes me cry.
With the hatred the Lib Dems have been able to generate it makes not the slighest difference who their runner is – they’re fucked.
Yep.
True, very true.
Mark Oaton for Mayor.
The shit candidate for a shit city.
I see he’s looking for an intern on the campaign. Paid I hope.
Don’t be ridiculous.
(S)he’ll have to obtain money any way they can, like the rest of us.
Winston Truman McKenzie suddenly seems like a good bet.
I quite like Lembit, but don’t think he has a hope. With Boris and Ken on the ticket the “oddball” vote is already split. Is it FPTP or AV?
Did anyone see the BBC “Children’s craniofacial surgery” programme, with the one whose face only worked on onee side? I’m sure Lembit is a mild case of the same syndrome.
I don’t care about his face – he pulled a cheeky girl so it clearly isn’t that bad. It’s his ‘honesty’ I’m worried about.
Spend your money elsewhere Guido: http://youve-been-cromwelled.org/?page_id=2276 a quid donation will do.
500/1 odds too if you don’t fancy donating take a flutter.

So US unemployment is still over 9% despite Barry Obama pissing away billions on his ‘shovel ready projects’
Expect our friends at the BBC to ignore this and still wank on about how MORE public spending is required here in the UK.
arrrh bless…. UK Neo Con having a pop at Obama…didnt you get the memo…he’s your bet best buddy now….LOL
Come on UK Neo Con Scum…lets hear you all loud and clear “”"Mitt Romney for president”"”"
PS …you aint seen me – right
Mitt Romney has no chance whatsoever, Romney Care has done for him what Obama Care did for your Teleprompter Jesus.
Perhaps the yanks could have that Tony Liar bloke, can’t teflon Tone forge a US birth certificate like that black Barry bloke?
LOL…The days of bigging up Boris are over
Any news on Daybreak Dave, not been around for the past few weeks.
Gone into hiding has he – UK troops in Libya, care home crisis, asylum amnesty… yeah I think he may have gone into hiding, a lot of press releases from “””PM Spokes Person””” this week….LOL
yes, I’m knackered
Answering your own posts in the second person? You do understand what mental illness is don’t you?
Keep up the good work in Libya Dave.
Genuine kudos to you and Hague.
No-one over the age of 15 says “lol,” unless they suffer from arrested development.
Saying it with caps simply adds to the retard factor.
I would vote him into the job in a heartbeat mainly to piss off the competition and the Libdems.
Plus he would be a damned good laugh plus his choice of crumpet is far better than Boris.
Hmm, a well reasoned and articulate approach. Do you take part in celebrity phone votes by any chance? You are a natural, you can vote for the one with the best hairstyle, or maybe the cute, maybe gay one, whatever you do, don’t vote for anyone who is not as shallow as yourself.
hey archer, been following your comments today
you’re funny
I will settle for just pissing you off…
But in the meantime you can’t fool me Ed Balls I know its you, I claim my weeks supply of free school meal vouchers.
Keep taking the pills.
Why is there a picture of a retard on the LimpDum web-site?
I object to the term retard. Dishonest wanker is much more appropriate.
Because I had to work ’til 10 minutes past 2 today. I’m now too exhausted to care.
What about Oaten – we’ve all heard of him and he can take any shit the job throws at him.
fuck london and fuck the establishment
+1
+65 million
+1
What’s he got stuck between his cheek and his teeth? Interesting specimen – but not Aryan.
Definitely a candidate for the Bumper Book of British Smiles, though.
“The LibDem establishment is desperate to avoid Lembit becoming their candidate for London Mayor…”
Go for it Lemsip!!!!
Shit. It sounds like the Lib Dem establishment might posess some degree of integrity after all.
“he seems to be the only candidate anyone has heard of”
And we’ve only heard of him because he got kicked-out at the last GE.
Had anyone heard of him before?
Somebody must have smashed him with a haymaker right across the nose.
Wish it had been me.
He went sky diving/abseiling/para gliding/
rock climbing and broke a fall with his face.
As Guido points out the campaign is about to start and Lembit is the only candidate that the voters have heard of going for the nomination. We had a meeting attended by around 40 people last week at the National Liberal Club and we are building our support base. We are answering all phone calls – try us again on 07848 448669. We have been running for twelve months and will give who ever appears at this late stage a fight for the nomination.
Ed Joyce – Lembit4London
“Lets make Lembit Opik the 2012 Lib Dem Mayoral Candidate”
What’s with it with apostrophes that LimpDums find so complicated?
Am I the only one who’s missing Billy?
Is he ill?
What have the Germans done with their cucumbers?
Opik is an utter waste of space. He has not got over the fact that at the last General Election, the electorate in Montomeryshire finally saw him for what he is and always has been – an utter dipstick and self serving buffoon. Why doesn’t he do us all a favour and disappear off back to whichever of the Baltic States it was that spawned him.
I wonder if his two fold plan for winning is to cut down immigration in the Capital by offering a free Cheeky Girl* to every unmarried bloke in London?
(* not all of them will be as good looking as you’d like but therein lies the problem with mail order!)
“He announced his latest squeeze on Facebook”
Who is she? Any pics?
Susan Boyle if there’s any justice, but she might be better based on his penchant for aquiring money.
Facebook because Hello and OK don’t feature people who steal our money.
My god, Hello and OK magazines have better morals than Nick Clegg and the Lib Dem party.
Surely we should be looking to get rid of unnecessary layers of politicians – reducing the number of MPs to 200 and scrapping the job of London Mayor after this term would be a good way to go.
As for Lembit, well he does have some genuinely liberal instincts on social and constitutional issues so there’s a lot to like about him. I think the Cheeky Girl thing may have done him some collateral damage though and damaged what serious credibility he had left.
Anyone know who the UKIP candidate is?
http://outspokenrabbit.blogspot.com/
There’s a lot to dislike about him too. Stealing our money is the main one. I don’t want a thief as mayor.
As for the cheeky girl, things like that are irrelevant in my book.
I’d say good luck to him but for the fact that he probably thought he needed our money to keep her. The money’s drying up and she’s nowhere to be seen.
Cheeky
So robbing us is cheeky, ey?
