The Honourable Member for Paris
Stories about Sir Stuart Bell always tickle Guido. The veteran Labour MP hasn’t held a surgery for 14 years. It seems his local paper in Teesside has finally lost their rag with him and gave him two barrels yesterday:
The Gazette made a total of 100 calls to Sir Stuart’s two published telephone numbers during weekday office hours between May and July, when Parliament broke up for the summer. We used a variety of different Middlesbrough landline numbers and mobile phones – to conceal the fact that the calls were coming from this newspaper – and a log was kept of exactly when each call was made .No one ever answered the phone. All calls rang out to an answering machine.
Yesterday afternoon the Gazette made calls to the published telephone numbers for Tom Blenkinsop, Alex Cunningham, James Wharton and Ian Swales – the four other Teesside MPs – and each was answered by a member of staff at the first attempt.
Surely he can get his calls forwarded to his place of residence. France…
He has the confidence and respect of his voters.
I also enjoy the confidence and respect of Alistair Darling, Peter Mandelson and everyone else in the Country.
Gordon is one of the most decent, kind ,friendly, helpful hard working MPs any town could have
And I’m sure that goes for yon Bell end
From Wikipedia’s Stuart Bell page
“He was knighted in 2004 for his services to Parliament and was appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur, France’s highest honour, by President Chirac in 2006.”
Bell is ahead of the game, he thinks there will be a pan European state and resides accordingly.
Evidently Gordon has taken a leaf out his book, I assume he is aswering his phone.
i was fisrt – if my coments are deleter then i wont play
BringBackGordonBrownAsPM – haha its only me
Oh yeah? Read the comments on the video – someone is alleging that he got in thanks to stuffed ballot boxes.
If he really hasn’t held a surgery for ~15 years then the electorate of Tyneside should recall him.
haha
can’t recall an MP – they don’t agree with it and are taking their time in the cabinet office to produce any suggested legislation – these people are our masters you know!!
Not at all. He’s entirely representative of the people of Teeside. The majority of whom haven’t done a days work in fourteen years either.
They deserve each other.
choice…. teeside or france…no brainer
‘No brainer’. You called ??
Guido likes France
Double “s”, girls.
I don’t like golf either.
Is Tameside anywhere near Tee/Tyneside whatever? TPA was up there trying to drum up support for ditching the local Pilgrims but the natives didn’t like it much. All feeding from the same trough.
2-3 hours away from each other by car.
But both are indeed somewhere up north.
Tameside’s posh, a lot of it is in Cheshire !
Is tha frum sarn sarth lad, tha showin thi ignorance, get thi schoal kids atlas art
The river Tames runs through London. What the fuck are you on about?
Trouble is they’re all thick as shit in that neck of the woods and can’t see past their next giro cheque.
Agreed.
Constituencies get the MPs they deserve.
Look at the one they have for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.
Not like Albert Hall above
The illusion of Democracy has the perfect MP.
It looks to me as if he is obtaining money under false pretences, tax payers money I might add!
Va te faire foutre!
Je did not give vous le droit to tutoyer moi. Cochon.
Another nice little earner I see.

Puts as much effort into his job as Gordon Brown.
Why on earth would he bother answering his phone? As long as he keeps well in with his comrades, he knows Middlesbrough voters would return a stuffed chimp if it had a red ribbon round its neck.
I thought he was a stuffed chimp – certainly he has the requisite intelligence, although perhaps not the requisite honesty, integrity or moral code!
Send him to Hartlepool. They know how to deal with monkeys who spend too much time with the French. http://thisishartlepool.co.uk/history/thehartlepoolmonkey.asp
What it didnt say was the people of Hartlepool subsequently elected said monkey to parliament and they have maintained the tradition ever since.
“We don’t believe that the newspapers will buy all of the 655 for £300,000, but they may wish to take say 10 senior MPs in the limelight and then there’ll be a drip-drip of their expenses. ”
Sir Stuart Bell on the news that someone had all the expense receipts of MPs
“If this was received by unauthorised means, it is disgraceful that a national newspaper should stoop so low as to buy information which will be in the public domain in July. It undermines the very basis of our democracy and is against all the rules of fair play.”
you gotta larf ‘aven’t you
what a twat
Standard Labour ‘defence’. Ned Balls tried it when it when there were embarrassing leaks from his time at the Department of Education.
Trying to divert attention away from the truth by questioning how the truth came out. Same with all this phone-tapping stuff. Delighted to be sticking the boot in over Milly Dowler in the hope that we’ll somehow forget that phone-taps (allegedly) exposed the likes of Prescott and got that jackass moved away from the levers of power.
The old git was regularly wheeled out on the Stephen Nolan show on Radio Bloke during the expenses scandal to trot out similar bollocks to OHs quote.
Guido, Teesside is spelled with a double “s”.
Thank you. It’s almost as bad as the misspelling “Middlesborough”.
Or correctly spelling Sc’unthorpe.
So is Tosserland
Tut. The labour party clearly not doing its job properly. Surely there is great disappointment throughout the party for the friends, family or shagpieces who can be parachuted into this constituency.
This really is the Bell-end
Or as he is in France and in need of a phone cALL
Bell a cock?
What does it say about Labour voters?
Too fast, too deep.
Many women would consider that to be a result
That they are as thick as shit.
No. They’re more intelligent as well as being nicer people
He has been working hard to hold this right wing dictatorship to account.
Ho de fucking ho!

Attendance at Commons votes since 060510 – 138 votes out of 331 = 41.7%
If he can’t even be bothered to VOTE and never sees his electorate, what the fuck does he do?
41.7% is probably not a bad average amongst MPs. Isn’t the Maximum Imbecile down around 15% or something?
15% of average IQ
The attendance record for the Honourable member for Kircaldy grew by 0% last month
Avoid tax. He is only allowed in the UK 90 days per year.
Is the Invisible Man non-resident for tax purposes or does he avail himself of the reciprocal agreement?
Probably non-resident because NuLabour turned this country into such a cesspit he would rather live anywhere else but here.
So is it right that a public servant, paid entirely by the British taxpayer, should choose to pay his income tax in another country?
Surely not.
Of course not, I merely find it annoying that we are left to live with the damage that his party caused.
you missed the bit about him paying his wife £35k.
What? Every year? To not meet with his constituents.
Ah, fuck it. Good luck to him. If them fuckwits are content to continually elect him then they’re getting exactly what they voted for.
My goodness Bell is one really ugly fucker. He must have tried hard to get a face as revolting as that.
Send him to Coventry. The local newspapers, civic groups etc should make him a non-person and blacklist him from every event and gathering. Same for any MP who blatantly doesn’t give a hoot in this manner. Except the various MPs for Coventry, who would need to be sent somewhere else… maybe Teesside?
jess the country is going to the dogs
Ruff isnt it?
Sir Stuart Bellend is a typical socialist, they don’t have a decent days work in them
Ex-lawyer as well, like so many of the reptiles.
He was having a ding dong!!
I would vote for Hannibal Lecter if he wore a red rosette.
That I can understand but what I can’t understand is why they voted for a Geordie ferchrissakes.
I love Teesside!
Teesside has two s’s Guido
The Scarlet Pimpernel is the proverbial Monkey in the Good burgh of Boro
What a donkey
‘They seek him here, they seek him there …’
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again;but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
Orwell.
He is well respected in the Labour party and well trusted by the media.
The first bit says it all
is e a docktur n all? or a vet?
My tory MP doesn’t like his electorate at all.
It doesn’t help that he stays in London all the time and acts like a minister; that he doesn’t listen to any of the views of his constituents; and that he promotes government action over and above anything his constitiuents might think or indeed anything he claims to do for them
knows labour is going nowhere for years and is digging in for the duration until he buggers off to garden in france all the time on a belt and braces pension..tring I thank you
Yet another labour socialist arsehole. Bell has a hollow ring.
He is a lazy useless bastard !
The problem is the people of Middlesbrough are too thick to realise this and will always vote for anyone with a Labour ticket……
Even is the K unt doesnt ever visit the godforsaken place.
HE IS THE REASON MIDDLESBROUGH IS A SHITHOLE !
No. I think Middlesbrough is a shithole entirely because that’s how the people of Middlesbrough like it. If they didn’t like it then they are free to leave. As millions of folk in (Labour-voting) shitholes have done through history. Which is why Labour constituencies have, on average, about 10K less electors than T*ry ones.
They used to make useful stuff in smelly chemical plants, but chinese people can make plastic things these days, and in return we will. err. borrow the money and let someone else worry about that some other time.
I remember him years ago doing his apprenticeship contesting the Tory seat of Hexham. He was a twat then….
My local GP is just the the same.
Hmmm. stuart bell. gordon brown.
What is it about labour mp’s that they think they can draw an mp’s salary and generous expenses without doing a day’s work to earn it?
I’m thinking of opening e new pub – The Bell ‘n Brown – nice ring to it what?
What’s brown and sounds like a bell?
Dung!
So now the Tory led dictatorship is undoing all of Gordons and President Obamas good work with thier stimulas.
The Tory led dictatorship should be banned from government until they agree with Labour over what policy to adopt.
Hatty HaPerson
As an ex ‘Teessider’ I am amazed that the Evening Gazette even considered taking up the cudgel against this champagne socialist.
Times must be a changing around the area. (Redcar went Lib-Dem after the ‘Mandelson Corus Steel’ fiasco)! Which is a start I suppose.
Wake up ‘smoggies’ and smell the air, you deserve better than the empty promises of the Socialist’s. Nearly all of the heavy industry has gone through their past broken promises. Break the shackles of the past and start believing in yourselves.
Remember; Maggie Thatcher brought you prosperity, her walk around the broken wilderness on the south shore of Stockton on Tees brought you new business, jobs, as well as a university.
James Wharton MP is the start of a new era.
Labour has brought you nothing but the depths of despair and the ruination of the towns around you. Even the working mans club’s are slowly fading away.
I think you will find it was Tory bankers that caused the crisis not the Labour government.
Would that be the ‘Tory banker’ Sir Fred Goodwin knighted at the behest of the Labour party?
That was for charity work as Harriet said.
Remind us again of this ‘charity’ work.
Helping millions of people who couldn’t afford to buy their houses…..
He’s very nice boy
He’s a VERY NAUGHTY BOY!
Now bugger off home, – the lot of you!
Maggie Thatcher caused the closure of thousands of small business n the North East of England.
teesside…a shithole somewhere up there
The People of Marlbrough are very happy and I am always reachable at any time of the day or night, unless I’m running my law firm in Paris that is.
Excuse me Sir, – could you tell me what time puberty is?
‘Sir Stuart Bell MP’ is an anagram of ‘Starlit Plumbers’, if that’s any help.
Bras Title Slur
L. Bras Rule Tits…??
Cut the Cuts before more people suffer.
People are suffering wank head, the fkin tax payers.
He’s quite right – MPs should resist the pressure to be social workers. He is a legislator, not a nursemaid.
Than he shouldn’t be claiming for a second home if he has only one.
Bell is typical of the Labour scum, they wail about the unfairness of the system, about inequality, and of the unfairness of society, but just like fat pig Abbot, who decided schools under labour were far too shit for her son, Bell is like a pig in shit as he parasites off the efforts of the workers.
Fair play to Sir Stuart, who would live up in that North eastern shithole if you could afford not to?
Quite so.
PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALLER?
I’m not idle. I am very very busy in strongly supporting MPs in thier claim for expenses.
Sir Stuart Bellend looks like the type of bloke who could shit out a whole undigested sausage
O/T Why do you have to go to newspapers in Oz to get news articles on a British Study on how boys need fathers?
I have looked on the BBC and Guardian websites and there is nothing there. Odd! The article is about research from the LSE so you would think they would report it. Perhaps it does not come in line with there preconceptions.
http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-national/fatherless-boys-become-dads-earlier-study-20110907-1jxb9.html
Because british journalists don’t read “the journal Biology Letters”
I feckin’ hate the cnut Sir Bell-End, typical Liebour twat. I am self-employed and haven’t had a sniff of a week off in 2 years. The feckin’ MPs make me sick with their antics..a plague on them all!!
I’m very happy for you that you have so much work. Good to see that entrepreneurship is still alive and well in the UK. No doubt you are looking to take on more employees to continue to grow your business? patriots like you are the heart of the Nation!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1347847/Labour-MP-Stuart-Bell-questioned-by-police.html
Bellend is the perfect example of why democracy does not work. Huge numbers of people are too thick, lazy or parasitical to be allowed the franchise. They simply vote for useless indolent corrupt c”unts like Bell time and time again because he’s “Labour”.
and another
http://the-daily-politics.blogspot.com/2009/05/sir-stuart-bell-mp-were-keeping-all.html
14 years without a surgery. Absent from parliament. Unable to reach him for official constituency business. No wonder the local rag up there in Teeside’s Socialism is Heaven Land has got the grumpies. But the blame rest wholly on the idiots who have been voting for Stuart Bell for so long. They kept electing him even though he was treating them with utter contempt. Serve ‘em right I say. Let the old git stay in France. At least he will be out of the way & wont bore everyone to death with his holiday pictures.
for whom the bellend toils
NOBODY
The ocmments on the newspaper’s website are class!
justice for England – not a chance
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/parliament/mark_harper_mp/
they’re going to have a ‘commission’ next year to begin the complicated and detailed task of looking into the West Lothian question – give ‘em 5 years to decide that it doesn’t need sorting out ….
By then Jockland will have voted for independance and withdrawn all it’s legislators from a Foreign Country. I’ve got fairies at the bottom of my garden.
Just perused the latest ‘comments’ on the evening gazette web site. The decent tax paying folk from Teesside are laying into the champagne socialist in a big way.
Obviously he denies all presented before him, he is available, no calls were made, etc, etc!
Why has it taken so long to bring this sad man to the front. Labour can hang their head no lower, they are shameless.
Just remind me again..how much public money is this lazy twat claiming?????thought so!!
A vile leach
These repeated attempts at hacking phone calls to our MPs has become intolerable, I believe it is only necessary to obtain a 7 digit number preceded by an area code and then any Tom Dick or Harry can activate the communication device causing much distress in their households with an incessant Ring! Ring! Ring! noise. Public enquiry NOW.
Twice a year MPs should face a panel of 12 to 20 of their constituents to review their MP’s voting recording and other works done on their behalf.
MP’s housing in a constituency should be provided by the local authority who also provide the MP with two assistants and office space to do work in the constituency.
Simples….
Let us hope that Sir Stuart’s constituency is a UKIP gain from Labour at the next election.
That’s taxpayer’s money supporting a political party by the back door. I’m not doubting your honesty of intent, merely pointing out the unforseen consequences.
Sorry, that’s for comment 117.
Even by Westminster standards he is one brazen shite…but his apparent indestructibility at the ballot box suggests that too many in Middlesborough are utterly stupid shites.
Well, that’s thick northern voters for you – anything with a red rosette is good enough for them.
For whom the Bell Ends !!
Bell lives in France to avoid UK tax. The bonus being that he does not pay French tax either.
He’s a c. u n t and we all know it.
BELL END
