Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”

is there anyone in the world that Tony hasnt screwed in some way?
First
I’m rich ha ha ha
What the fuck is this about? Is it funny? I doubt it but don’t really know because I have no idea what it is.
Ditto Billy, we must be missing out somewhere
I sometimes think that many of you lot are just too uninformed to understand.
Please sir, I know what it is about, sir,sir.
Must admit though, I had not realised that these drawings were supposed to be funny – I just assumed Guido was into nepotism and let his kids play with his crayons and published their efforts as playscholl wont.
I’m into nepotism, cronyism and patronage. Must fly ( first class, obviously ), got to continue doing my Great Work as Middle East Pe@ce Envoy.
God i Hate this Twat

An event of greater significance for Rich & Mark to cartoon… Guido up and posting before 7:30 in the morning!
No chance Mr Doff
it was posted before he went to bed !
Ah! But uninformed about what? Some information is more useful than others and it varies between people. Maybe you see information that is significant to you but irrelevant to some of us … and vice versa.
What? I don’t wear no uninform. Are you taking the piss?
Well it made me smile.
No funny, but got it right away
Any clue what this is about?
teachers strike i assume ?
but what a pileof shite !
You have no soul. Or possibly no young children. I found this actually rather moving.
Bowel moving, possibly.
Its completely incomprehensible. Well done Skid and Mark.
There’s a baby in the luggage rack. Do babies go to school? No.
I can’t believe I’m even typing this.
That’s not a baby. It is a sad and accurate depiction of the lack of parenting skills in 2011. It is actually a 5 year old, who has not been weaned off its dummy yet.
The cartoon is a reflection on how this Thursday’s selfish, unrealistic and pointless strike is going to hurt millions of families and the choices they will have to make to decide whether to take their kids to work with them, or take a day off from work to look after them.
Many others will simply leave them at home with strict instructions to not answer the door or the phone.
Does the head of the NUT lose pay on strike day and what are his pension arrangements looking like?
Of Course the Head of the NUT doesn’t lose pay! Causing major disruption to the struggling UK economy is what he is expected to do! Oh and refusing to accept that graduate teachers need to be numerate and literate.
The General Secretary of the NUT is a woman you plonkers
You couldn’t make it up… striking teachers’ grammar http://finhampark.co.uk/
Anyone?
Apparently Junction 30 of the M25 is on strike on Thursday – best avoided.
Doesn’t bother me I’m up North
2nd and I still do not understand the message – thankfully.
For the first time in my life i am speechless !
Priceless ! what i mean is i hope you didn’t pay fuck all for this shite !
I guess this cartoon is about the forthcoming teachers strike on 30/06/2011
For my husband and I this means yet another full long day with the grandchildren!
I asked my husband if we could “run away” but he said no, we have to do our duty. Whatever happened to retirement? There are more grandparents at the school gates these days than parents. It wasn’t like that when I was at school.
I’m just too hot and grumpy today. Bugger it all!
Like you I am retired, no dustbin lids though or their offspring, I bet that you are greatfull that you have retired your off spring might have to work till they are 70 or older, the bods in power be they Con, Liebore or LimpDem do not realise that things do not work in quite the same way when you pass 60/65, things seem to take longer to do, time passes much quicker ( it’s not time it’s the individual that is slower) and worst of all you seem to get aches and pains for not particular reason
I am glad that I had my retirement years when I was younger. I was fit enough to enjoy them. Now I am working my way to an early grave having already paid back what I took from the state in benefits.
I would have hated to work to 67 or 70 and dropped dead just before retirement. My family history of heart disease means I probably won’t see the official retirement age. So I stayed unemployed through my 20s. I did a college course and other odd-jobs to keep busy, but I had a nice retirement.
Yup, if you look around a cemetry its suprising how many have popped off just before or just after 65.
My wife’s Grandpa worked his whole life from the age of 14 right up to when he retired from British Rail at the age of 65 and was dead within a week of retirement. I was damned sure that such a thing would not happen to me. My own father died at the young age of 47 (when I was 21) from a heart attack. So I chose to have a state funded retirement early and then work till I drop dead.
Hi Nemo, I am glad to be retired actually and I do indeed feel very sorry for the next generation because it looks as if they are going to have to work until they drop!
The point you made about many people dying at or around 65years of age is a good point. All that pension money the Government have saved because of that fact, surely must go some way in terms of being able to pay the “lucky ones” who have made it past 65 years of age.
If Government wanted to cover up the problem and save money it could have promoted it as a State sponsored parenting day.
Don’t give them ideas
The govt has been thrown into a major scandal as it’s believed Chris Shale was murdered after he embarrassed the govt with an embarrassing leak which led to his murder at Glastonbury where he was definitely murdered by the murderous govt. This is in stark contrast to the law abiding Labour govt which went out of its way to protect the dishonest Dr K e lly who cowardly committed suicide, unlike the murdered Mr Shale who was murdered by this murdering Tory govt. Murder.
Controversial eh!
For crying out loud, who’s side is she on?
Her own and Tuscany’s.
Died sitting on the bog and no one noticed where he was surely the place must have been cleaned and someone noticed something unsual, very strange
Glastonbury? Clean the bogs? You having a laugh?
Bonio, it was in the “celeb” and toffs area, not the area where the great unwashed have to go.
In the pantheon of utterly shit and unfunny cartoons, this one takes the crown. It makes Billy Connolly look funny. And that twat is about as funny as Bobby Davro, who’s about as funny as Lenny Henry, who’s about as funny as Dawn French.
How dare you leave me out. My routines about men with small cocks are used as a general anaesthetic in leading hospitals.
I’m hilarious!
You all I have nothing on my right-on lefty, global warming bollocks.
2 words:
Jeremy Hardy.
Oh I am so funny too with my contemptuous sideways look at life. Really, I am hilarious,always, every single timne
I think it’s rather sweet. Me, I’m doing the latter.
Watch the parliament channel with the kids. “Kids, that idiot you see talking is called Ed Balls. He’s a very bad man.”
Isn’t letting your children see Ed Balls tantamount to child abuse? Be careful – the Social Work Stasi may kick your door down and take them away
Mwth crwyth y ‘shite’ chrwynel.
And what is the welsh for ‘shite’?
Cardiff.
Huh ? Is this something to do with one-parent families ?
Sack the strikers and invent a new meaning to free schools
O/T but vital.
Anyone else worried about China becoming EU’s money lender? What happens when they up the interest to a couple of 100% What price our gold reserves then(thanks Gordon)
Europe then defaults on China thus crippling their economy and Europe rises like a pheonix to become global superpower
My flen Wee Dee Fot say this no ploblem.
Selohesra, we pos same time. Glate minds…
I never knew that cartoons could have tumbleweed moments until I discovered Rich and Mark.
I think Mark & Rich must be Guido’s interns or even Guido’s ailias
Randall on top form this morning, including a swipe at Huhne:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/jeffrandall/8600133/Its-not-only-Greeks-whove-lost-their-marbles.html
only person talking sense these days.
Randall has been talking sense for a very long time now. Can’t see him lasting much longer at the Barclay Beano.
But every body is having a swipe at Huhne
The ‘seen elsewhere’ item on UK Uncut in the Guardian is well worth a read; well, the comments are. The Guardianistas really don’t get it.
oooh yeah cartoon’s from this : http://bit.ly/3ah1DH
You might wanna label that link : Not Safe for Work or indeed anywhere.
Guido Fawkes is having some technical difficulties with Billy Bowden, we’re working to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Now don’t get Billy angry, you would not like him if got angry, he turns all green and becomes the Hulk and will leap straight out of your monitor and sort you out, now leave him alone, he has a right to post to this blog as well as anybody else.
SCKPUPPET. NOT THE REAL BILLY
Dirty Lying Thieving Fucker !
The Actions of a top Labour MP should never be forgotten
He’s right!
I can plumb the unfathomable depths of gutter politics when it comes to exploiting any situation to enhance my lefty credentials.
A sexy girl says to Paddy ‘do you want a blow job?’ Paddy replies, dunno, will it affect my jobseekers allowance?
Here I am. Brain the size of the Universe and this cartoon is the best you can do
It seems to be the best Guido can organise, but could you do better.
Why worry about the teachers’ strike. Just treat it as they so often do – teachers’ training day. These are almost always held just after the idle bastards have had a six week’s holiday, then on their return they decide to close the school for a teachers’ training day. Fucking parasites.
I wonder why the teachers didnt chose to go on strike in August?
They could have chosen to strike during their six week summer holiday, two weeks at Easter, two weeks at Christmas, or three weeks of half terms. A grand total of 13 weeks holidays a year.
Private sector workers who saw their pension arrangements changed a couple of years ago, who work longer than 8.45- 3.30 every day and only benefit from 4-5 weeks holiday, are unlikely to feel any sympathy.
You you sound just like the person Gove is looking for, trying to teach 35 oiks who seem to have lost the will to learn, it only takes 1 or 2 to make it impossible.
Like most professions you can do a lot or the bare minimum…I know friends who are teachers who go into school several times during the holidays to prepare for the new intake in September and who stay at school until 6pm to prepare lesson plans or take out of school activities…equaly there are some lazy bastards who bugger off at 3pm and do the bare minimum and who regard teaching as merely a job or a means to gain positions of power with union and politics
“who bugger off at 3pm and do the bare minimum and who regard teaching as merely a job ”
Do you mean they are just there for the beer, just like some members of parliament.

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Hey teacher!
Leave us kids alone!
Money’s to tight to mention
And i can’t even qualify for my pension !
When I grow up, Dads, will I be a cartoonist like you?
We have to come clean son !
we are really shite
So while your asleep we steal pages out of your crayoning book
Actually I thought it was one of their better efforts – chosing to go for general people rather than some one in particular avoided all the problem of not recognising the subject
it was one of their better efforts – which is what makes it so fucking pathetic
