Darling Bashes Balls and Brown
Guido has often thought that history will be a lot kinder to Alastair Darling than anyone else who survived serving in the last government. Knowing exactly how to pick his moments, we have seen glimpses of the truth from Darling, especially with his “forces of hell” comments. Well his memoirs are going to be bad news for Brown and Balls and their attempts to rewrite history. Labour Uncut have seen extracts:
“Darling details the total breakdown in trust between the prime minister and chancellor. He singles out Ed Balls and Shriti Vadhera as key Brown lieutenants running what amounted to a shadow treasury operation within government. Brown’s demeanour was increasingly “brutal and volcanic”, mistrusting Darling to the extent that he repeatedly tried to place his own aides in the treasury ministerial team to report back on what the chancellor was doing.
Darling point-blank refused to have the newly-enobled Shriti Vadhera in his team, describing her as “only happy if there was blood on the floor – preferably that of her colleagues”. He accepted Yvette Cooper as chief secretary to the treasury in January 2008, but was equally clear that the main reason Brown had placed her there was to “keep an eye” on him.”
Darling also apparently confirms for the first time that Brown tried to sack him in 2009 and replace him with Ed Balls. Something that the latter has point-blank denied in the past. There’s a pattern emerging here, and it’s going to be tricky for Balls to deny it all this time…
Only Labour minster i have any respect for.
Nine out of ten people who joined the workforce last year were foreign nationals, official figures revealed yesterday.

Yes , we have discussed this before.
its what happens when Labour are near the levers of power in the Education dept.
What a BALLS UP. I had to say something about the way things are failing, however the institutions are and will fail under the ongoing lies that they are built on. Quango Crat Lying State sponsored way to Government to control at Arms length. NOT ME GOV. When they F–k up.
Labour haven’t been out of power in the Education Dept. since Shirley Williams. Even the baby-eating Baroness couldn’t touch the socialist toads in the Education swamp. Re-read Melanie Phillips, All Must Have Prizes, to comprehend the devastation wrought by socialist education dogma over the last 45 years.
I remember her. Sent her kid(s) to a public school while trashing education for the rest of us. Maggot.
All these socialist worms send their own kids to decent schools. Its the rest of us who have to suffer the politically correct bollox in the state (shit) schools. They just don’t care about the three r’s and discipline. Multi-culturism is the order of the day, not learning, especially English history!!
spot on grumpy, They just wanted to dummy every one down to a stupid level
Says more about our indigenous than it does immigrants. We should send
our lazy spongers to the third world as a fair swap.
Most of the immigrants seem to be infinitely preferable to the home grown benefit dependent shitheads we see on TV busting up everything in the sure knowledge that not much will happen to them if caught. Some serious examples need to be made before the vigilantes do it on behalf of society.
Not many people will mind very much if that happens. I won’t…
That’s right dearie. Don’t mention all the tax bribes to companies to employ foreigners. Twat.
Really? Name one tax “bribe” that encourages UK companies to employ foreigners.
As I thought you could not name one!
British jobs for British workers!! Make the employers pay a premium for public services on top of the minimum pay they offer and then they may want to employ an English person!!
just get rid of tax credits and other poverty trap policies Yesterday the BBC had an item to the effect that young people nowadays ( I assume they mean 30 somethings) would rather be paid less and have more time off. It was assumed that this was because they have an enlightened attitude to work-life balance. That may be so but there was no discussion of the fact that some people on low to middling incomes see no point in working full time if working part time for less then entitles them to a range of benefits. In the past that has been one reason why employers couldn’t recruit full-time British workers and therefore recruited immigrants who were prepared to put in long hours.
Presuming that is darling you are talking about – the piece of shit that as a councillor, turned edinburgh into a no car zone. And was probably instrumental in the tram fiasco.
The guy that was told to shave off his beard because women thought bearded men were untrustworthy.
The startled eyebrows darling?
If Eyebrows had spoke out while in power we might have ended the prime monsters reign of terror earlier, but he put his own scotish preening self interests before England.
Oh and signed us up to eu bail out at the death.
He’s just another hypocritical libore tosspot.
Quite so. The man who signed us up to shed loads of cash going south while we were in a governmental no mans land.
Northern Cock-up.
……….and a dishonest “flipper” to boot. How many homes id he flip? Was it 4??
Don’t do as I a socialist slug does, do as I say!!
Bas**rds!
He was never any good at being a councillor.
It looks like he’s a lot better at writing memoirs…
I will wait till his book joins Brown’s in the 20p bin
time will see these people humiliated – hurrah
next up Tony Baloney
So what?
I’ve been re-writing history for over a year now and no one at the BBC has ever challenged me.
Didn’t think that any one would.
Ditto that Billy.
Darling is an inoffensive type but competent? GUIDO, how did you miss this genius cartoon found by Daniel Hannan http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100102202/more-quantitative-easing-my-masters-are-you-mad/
Cooper doesn’t come out of it so well, does she? Spadded for Brown, interned for Clinton, spied for Balls …
…and shagged by Ed
Oh, the humanity!
Eeeeggghhhhh!!! MINDBLEACH!!!!
Did wonky cock clinton nob her?
Even Bill has standards…
Clinton preferred big-breasted, big-haired trashy blondes (Monica Lewinsky was atypical) – completely the opposite of Ladyboy Cooper.
Interned for Clinton . . . . . ? Did she spit or swallow?
Obvious Red Ed had his go as well, but his nose got in the perhaps he will try again now it’s been shortened
Guido
The way Darling paints it is that Gordon brown was not only bonkers, but a control freak, that being the case is it really the case that he did not know what Damian Mcbride was up to? Was it just “One rouge smearer” ?
I agree that history will be kinder to Darling than any other minster from the Labour goverment.
Balls, Mcbride , whealen and Watson have all rasied thier profiles lately?
2nd coming?
A control freak used to run this country he was replaced by crack head.
Is that Labour councillor Purcell Pm then?
or is it Tom Baldwin?
Ned Miliband? A crack-head? A fuckwit perhaps – but a crack-head?
One rouge smearer? You couldn’t make it up, you rogue!
Gordy was afraid of his own shadow, hence his paranoid behaviour.
He’s fat, he’s round, he lost a Trillion pound,
Gordon Brown, Gordon Brown!
I adore those football fans, even if they are of a Scottish persuasion.
Of course Brown didn’t want anyone else using the Chancellors position to become PM. He was simply cutting the rope ladder behind him.
Small minded petty scheming pr1ck that he is.
Much more important to win his internecine vendetta’s than run the fuggin country. Thats why we’re in the Brown stuff up to our noses now.
How ever did we let such a dreadful sack of crap become PM.
We didn’t.
Blair did.
Quite so.
Hands up all those who voted for Blair when he said he’d serve a full term? Even though the Country knew by then he was a lying twat?
the voters in this country never get to pick the prime minister – that’s why we’ve ended up with wavy davey too – you see it really doesn’t matter anymore. the politicians are the ones who know best …..
Just another example of the total unsuitability of Brown to have been allowed to become Prime Minister….everyone within Labour(AND the media) knew exactly what Brown was like and nobody had the guts to tell the British public or stop him(Darling included)No doubt more political memoirs will surface over the next couple of years which will totally destroy Brown’s reputation as firstly a competent Chancellor(he wasn’t…every decison he took was a castastrophe for Britain)and secondly as Prime Minister…a job he was very clearly unsuited for.He must surely rank as one of the worst Prime Ministers if NOT the worst for the past 50 years
The worst. Ever.
Brown was certainly the worst PM in over 100 years.
Not so sure about Chancellors as there were so many incompetents to join him.
Politics aside, Brown and Balls are quite simply unpleasant human beings.
enjoy

I am not”Mr Brown – made of 40 bricks“
There you go, I am not the worst.
No, Lord North was worse. But I wish that someone had treated his I did Spencer Percival.
So A Darling has at last discovered some balls- even if they’re not attached to him
Darling may loathe Balls, Cooper and Brown, but will Deadwood Miliband merit even a footnote?
Er…..um…..stop the cuts! Stop the cuts! (Waits for apllause. Not a sausage.)
I am not amuthed. Do you like my new nothe?
I hate backstabbers.
Fuck off !
That picture of Ed the Dread is perfect. Anytime Balls-Up tries to assuage voters that he is just a nice cuddly guy, Guido needs to bring this pic back out to remind people of the real villain on the inside. Short, nasty and brutish, indeed!
Looks like an Orc from Lord of The Rings.
Looks like Balls has got downwind of some traditional Labour supporters. At least he won’t have to worry about them turning up for Labour’s Autumn conference.
Only not as good looking!
I cannot see any of this being mentioned on the BBC !
Nope…correct they’re too busy scaremongering to-day about the withdrawal of DLA from the severely disabled !!!!
I noted that the second story on the news list last night was the scaremongering about people not being able to afford property in the future…….
Maybe if the state didnt steal at least a fifth of peoples wages then they might have a chance.
(i havent included concil tax or any other taxes )
It will certainly be a very hot topic WITHIN the BBC.
Perhaps they will ask Toynbee to praise the past government ad nauseum in her new radio 4 programme?
As if they need to ask!
In their homage to themselves on BBC4, ‘The Great Thinkers’ (which was supposed to be about great political and economic thinkers of the 20th century), along with Bertrand Russell, Keynes and Hayek, the BBC included Mr Ralph Milliband. In addition, they included comments by David Milliband, just so that the general public got the message about what a wonderful family they are.
Bury Council wasting millions putting iPads in bin lorries!
Why?
Because it’s not their money….it’s not coming out of their pocket. Don’t worry the public are paying and as public money is “free” money then wasting it doesn’t count.
Why expensive ipads and not some cheap Amstrad tat?
Galaxies are going really cheap and would have done the job better.
Tesco have got some cheap notepad and pens at the moment.
This is probably me being a bit naive but why do bin lorries need I-pads?
Do I need to explain myself
Tricky for Balls to deny it this time? Nope, he’ll deny it just like he denies everything that was wrong with the last Government and he will believe what he is saying too.
And the B-bbc will help him.
BBC = useful idiots
Bloody socialist activists sticking up for the Basildon Gypos. If Vanesa Redgrave is so concerned why doesn’t she put some up in her own home and garden?
Broadband in our locality went off the other week. Apparently, someone had levered up a manhole cover, cut the telephone cables, tied them to the back of a 4×4, and driven off, pulling out a considerable length.
The police found the cables “outside a local travellers camp”, but no arrests were made. Mainly because the only police allowed to go near the “camp” are the “traveller liaison officers”. (I kid you not).
Ms Redgrave should be tied to the back of a 4×4 too.
Oh, FFS, what was it this time?

The FFS was aimed at the ModBot, BTW
Same is happening at this camp. The gypos have built a shanty town on common land without any planing permits. They are making the lives of the locals hell.
But the police instead of arresting the so called travellers are arresting the locals for very minor infringements of the law.
And now Redgrave and a bunch of soap dodging socialist activists from all over the world are siding with the gypsies.
You in Seaton Delaval or is it nationwide problem?
Not at the minute and yes!
The BBC are giving them all the support they can. No doubt they will have the cameras there when it kicks off so that they can record every infringement of the travellers’ human rights. They will of course be interviewing every left-winger nutter who turns up for the cause.
We heard you the first time you tory moron
It’s like something out of The Godfather, no? Ed Balls seems to be a thug.
No wonder all those banks collapsed because Balls, Brown, Cooper and the others were too busy trying to knife each other to worry about the economy.
I wouldn’t trust them to run a corner shop, yet alone a ministry.
I would’nt trust them to push my pram
I don’t know you, Janet, do I??????????

UK plunges into debt danger zone after Labour’s 10-year borrowing binge, says finance watchdog

What is murdoch going to do about milly dowler.
Perhaps the BBC will ask that she is exhumed to look for evidence of Murdoch fingerprints.
And the debt has increased since the bed-wetters party took over.
This is my sex face.
Right, looks just like a kicked in twat
And this is another reason to make the BBC subscription, they knew all about this at the time (Remember Peston had the exclusive on Northern Rock).
Darling did have some reputation, but demolished it by the contemptible way he stitched us up to the euro bailout while Cameron and clegg haggled terms of coalition
It was quite obvious from the start that Brown was a smug bastard with all his crap about moral compass etc
I’ve no time for Labour and its fate is of no interest to me – but the party might have been wiser to ask Darling to be leader rather than the either of the Milibands. Everyone notices that he has an integrity about him. A dull integrity, but integrity nonetheless.
Bollucks
Spelling?
thats his Oh face. Not sure whether its his taking or giving one though

Why, you vile, rotten, right wing vultures, jackals … just you wait! Come the glorious faux-Socialist revolution, you’ll all be sorry! Mm-hmm!
ID cards for the lot of you, and a nice long stay at Broadmoor Prison (Dartmoor? MichaelMoor? Whatever) as long as I deem fit. Sorry, not good on geography, but regardless.
All this said … I shall probably need a spot of creosoting on the garden fence about the time of the downfall of the CONDEMS – and my sister’s loft needs insulation at her … my main house … eh … her place, I forget frankly who it belongs to, but rest assured I shall show no shame for my behaviour.
You have all been warned.
Signing off with a smart prussian salute in polished leather,

Lest we forget: Darling did a shocking job with Railtrack and the Strategic Rail Authority, confiscating private property without compensation and setting up a very ineffective quango.
Socailists would class that as a sucsess.
Such a good guy, oh really, do me a favour.
Why didn’t he resign and expose the horror
of Brown ? Eh, eh, eh. Go on, answer me that one.
No, he stayed in his job and continued to be complicit
in the machinations that almost ruined the country.
Oh yes, that’s it. It was his duty to stay and help in
anyway he could. God help us from people who
go about doing good.
Correct, he even stayed in his job a week past the labour party getting a million less votes at the 2010 general election than John Major got in 2007, and by hanging on for that extra week, signed us up to the EU bail outs.
What I cannot fathom is why Osborne did not immediately follow this with his own trip to the EU mainland to tell them that no government can bind it’s successor government and owing to the legal fact that the bail outs contravene EU law and the Maastricht treaty, that the UK will be revoking our consent for the bail-outs.
Both Chancellors are therefore, anti-British fuckwits.
It may be just me. I sanyone else immediately reminded of The Predator?

He’s just another hypocritical libore tosspot.
These people need to be exposed.
There’s nothing wrong with ambition but they view politics as a means of personal advancement.
Ed Balls in particular appears to be a psychopath, hell-bent on knifing colleagues instead of serving his country.
You can’t really blame him, look what he has to go home to at night.
So a more apt title of Darling’s tome would be “Fiddling while Rome burned”.
I much prefer Bob Marshall-Andrews’ book “Off Message” – a superb read I would highly recommend to anyone.
I still get paid as an MP you know.
It’s money for old rope according to my nurse…
I do not see why history should be kinder to Darling. He is just as incompetent as the rest of the shower of s***.
“Shriti Vadhera”
Surely one “r” too many?
So Gordon failed in his attempt to give Alistair Darling “Shitty Diarrhea”. Must say he was more successful in my case.
Al Gore will be livid if he reads this Telegraph report…

Darling was once told by Blair to curb his exuberance after England was beaten by Argentina.
Nice genuine people these were, that they were happy that England were losing to a foreign team while they governed us.
does darling look like a footballing man?
he probably doesn’t know what the game actually is. indeed, London-born darling probably has no idea what league England play in and which colour Argentina wear.
yes, have a go at them for ruining the economy by all means. but don’t be such a dick. in what possible universe was Blair watching the footie with darling???
Smacks of Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson/Alan Walters episodes.
History repeating itself…
GOOD ON HIM! Expose the bastards for the lying, cheating, duplicitous bunch of ne’redowells that they are!
…”it’s going to be tricky for Balls to deny it all this time…” Not really, he and his wife will do what they always di and lie through their teeth.
Darling better watch his back if he writes about me in the less than deferential
terms that THE future PM is due.
Darling might have the book and might get the story out.
But, like all things Labour he will be whitewashed out of history and the facts will disappear under a veritable deluge of spin and disinforamtion and outright lies from all parties.
Balls will have the chutzpah, as ever and always, to lie with a straight face that its all bunkum and Darling has got it all wrong.
Darling may well be an honest man, but he will not survive the backstabbing and rewriting that is a regular feature of the hard left.
Time for Gordo to stop taking the pills and make a personal statement ratting out all his old acolytes, like Balls, Cooper, Vadera et al…..
I’m shocked by the news that Gordon could be a bit difficult. Just when you think you know someone…
Thank God Brown is gone. God help the country if Balls where to take control of the economy.
Wake me up when the recession is over.
When Darling was minister of transport he was asked to provide £750 million from the English Transport budget to build a new Edinburgh Central rail station which by coincidence is the constituency of Alistair Darling. Alistair had no qualms in providing the cash from the English budget and re allocating it to the Scottish Transport ministry. I am sure it was all above board and that he is an honourable man and can explain everything should he ever be asked .
More chippy bullshit.
Darling represented edinburgh south west. edinburgh Waverley is not a new railway station, it being one of the original stations on the gner line. it is also located in the edinburgh central constituency.
edinburgh “central” railway station doesn’t exist. there is haymarket and waverley, neither of which are new.
there’s plenty you can dole out to brown, balls, darling et al without resorting to talking complete pish.
