Clegg SpAd James McGrory Accused of Leaking Cam Kids Story
A good rule of thumb when feeding negative stories to the press about a Prime Minister, whose administration you work in, is not to do it from the office phone. A mighty row has blown up in Downing Street after a leak hunt has found the Deputy Prime Minister’s spokesman up to his neck in it after giving the Mirror a story about the Cameron and Osborne children playing in the Rose Garden. The Mail on Sunday reported the row yesterday without naming James McGrory as the leaker…
Cameron hit the roof and his staff got in Scotland Yard to trace the leak. McGrory’s study looks out over the Rose Garden and his phone made three calls to the Mirror just before they put a call in to Downing Street for a comment. On the day that Clegg announces that he is going to spend half a million on seven new LibDem SpAds across Whitehall, he should probably start thinking about an eighth…
Scum!
all politicons.
According to a poll of Conservative party members for ConservativeHome, 72% of members want their MP to vote for the EU referendum.
More significantly, 64% of them said they doubted David Cameron’s commitment to repatriating powers from the EU.
Tim Montgomerie, the ConservativeHome editor, says this is “very significant and troubling” for the prime minister.

Are there any hanging baskets in the Rose Garden? Because there should be…
Our Hague is leading the charge. He looks confused as usual.
Hague is a fun guy but, as his record shows, he is not really a leader.
In what way is Hague a fun-guy?
Is the cabinet secretary a fun-gus?
Is he a mushroom?
I shall not mention a toads-tool in this respect Willy.
And Montgomerie is making sure of that!
Clegg was going to lock the gates of Westminster until politics was cleaned up.. How long will the gates be shut FFS? Is this not the same smear tactics used by friends of Balls and Brown? Horrible insidious lot.
It looks like he is right in the mix with his colleagues, those who ry to give penalty points away, those who brief against other ministers, those who buy their partners houses, those who have affairs with spies and text sex messages in the other. Get rid of the Lie Dumbs ASAP.
I thought this thread was about a special advisor ringing the Mirror with a stupid story about children playing in a garden .
Why doesn’t Cameron hire a British one? What do the kids think of uncle Osborne and his kinky sex life? Will you live next door to a guy like this?
I already know cameron likes dead kids. Thjree wars a couple of mongos its just tthe way it is. Man likes death. Eapoecially the death of freedom.
You don’t seem to be a member of the human race, Charmer. So fuck off.
Looks like the subhuman called p43do-shorts is back.
You illiterate bastard, just fuck off. CBEEBIES should be on shortly (although on reflection this may be rather advanced for you).
Why isnt there a moderator on here, this comment by “charmer” is vile.
You twat.The best part of you dribbled down your mother’s legs.
Charmer – YOU ARE A NASTY, NAUSEATING, POOR EXCUSE for a
humanbeing. You parents should have been sterilised. B.a.s.t.a.r.d.Charmer, I don’t use the word often, but you are quite simply a Hunt.
Settle down folks. It’s only the duty liebour troll doing his thing.
He gets a bonus depending on how many folks bite
Did any one see the Pictures of Sirte on Sky. Someone has bombed the F–k out of it. Its been left as just a pile of rubble.
That must have been the Libyan defenders of Ghadaffi putting up a bit of resistance. I wonder what is going on in TRIPOLI. The international State sponsored Press machine have went very Quite lately on the subject.
I hope this isn’t going to turn out to be another IRAQ.
The Muslim Brotherhood is taking power.
I always wondered why The British and American establishment hated Muslims, Then I found out that these God fearing people have a dim view of practising Homosexuals. It all started to make a bit of sense. I forgot they also hold great faith in the family, might be another reason they are hated.
Speaking of Scum…

who gives a running f**k?
I do! He’s being paid taxpayers money for this trash behaviour.
I do….. the LD’s are f8cking odious..
Lib Dumbs the NASTY party!
and who is going to pay for all these unnecessary useless extra people?
LibDims shown up to be the frenemy in the coalition again?
I suspect the Tories have known for months that the LD’s are leaking info to their bassie mates in Labour and the Kremlin.
Oops, should read, bessie mates…
These SpAds are just kids without any experience at all, so how on earth can they be called Advisors, let alone Special?
I think it might be special as in “Special Needs”.
Get you Shirley
I am working hard to bring Russia and it’s allies into the European Union which will be for the good of us all. All this dissent over European membership is ridiculous, we should all be good Europeans. Follow my example and all will be well. Off for a Council of Europe meeting soon in Eastern Europe where I will be pressing my inclusive polices, especially on their young women. Boaz
Where abouts in Eastern Europe are you going to Mike? My dad wants to know.
The Council of Europe has precisely fuck all to do with the EU, you plank. How many more times do you need telling?
Follow the money. How much is the Mirror ” slipping him ” for this gossip.
If he’s done it this time you can bet he’s done it before. They need to be checking his bank account.
Would that be the whiter than white Mirror ?
It’s Official.
Gordon shuns the Labour party to talk to predators.
Labour Party conference 25th to 29th September.
26th September Gordon flies to Singapore to speak to Temasek Holdings. Temasek also paid his £12,752.17 travel expenses.
Can’t blame him though, I’d much rather go to Singapore than Liverpool.
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem/111017/brown_rt-hon-gordon.htm
Temasek is the Singapore Govt commercial arm. Do you think this ultra capitalist island state is pondering going socialist?
A female golfer returned to the clubhouse in distress she told the pro she had been stung by a wasp between 1st and 2nd hole. He replied prehaps your stance is to wide
Good one, whether its the real Bill or his sockpuppet.
Interesting…the SpAd for a deputy PM earns about £68000.
The SpAd for the Minister of Culture in the Northern Ireland Assembly earns around £90000 … and is a convicted IRA murderer.
Ever get the feeling your hard earned money is being pissed away by politicians at Westminster and in the devolved talking shops?
Yes, every single day that passes. Power corrupts….
I think we might have an Election coming soon.
Then again, it is more that possible that someone might just get so depressed that they will take matters into their own hands and try and Off someone at the top.
I, for one, don’t think I could sit on a jury hearing the trial of someone who did that and honestly give a verdict, I would more over want to slap the guy on the back and say, ‘I know how you feel’.
That is an irresponsible thing to say, i think YOU need to see a Dr.
it probably is irresponsible but it probably also reflects a wider opinion.
What the hell do these SpAds actually do, apart from cause trouble and cost us all millions a year? Most of them appear to be children, and cannot possibly have any expertise about government work that an experienced civil servant does not.
Spying on young children, don’t the police have a special department to investigate cases of that?
They have a special department to encourage it, to recruit child spies and have them dob in their parents.
It is called the ‘Prevent’ programme.
I don’t know, but the Lib Dems do.
my thoughts exactly ! watching kids playing is a bit worrying in a young man.
£500,000 on 7 more libdum spads!!!
What are they going to be doing? – beyond spying on kids having a bit of harmless fun in the garden.
Oh and who pays for that mobile phone of his that he phoned the mirror on 3 times?
Have they sacked him yet? If not why not!
Do take time out to read the first “seen elsewhere” opposite
Ex-PM ‘ignored radiation at beach’

Old news (well at least two weeks old)
The SNP attack on Gordon over this is not old news. It only occured 2 days ago. Took them long enough to get roubd to it though. Perhaps the Scotch parliament has a responsibility too?
“The SNP has launched an attack on former prime minister Gordon Brown for failing to clear up radioactive contamination in his constituency.”
What’s he supposed to do Mr Scottish Nazi Party? Go out with a geiger counter and a poop-scoop?
So a Yellow Labour non job calls a failing Red Labour paper to tell tales on Blue Labour children?
I see.
I don’t, to me their all the same.
So do I and they’re still all the same
Yellow is a highly appropriate colour for the Lib Dems
The man clearly doesn’t have anything important to do. Sack him and do not replace him.
These are the dysfunctional scumbags denying the people a vote on Europe.
Just one more indication (how many do we need?) that the yellow-bellies simply cannot handle power.
“Children seen playing in garden” – Shock, horror.
Clearly far more newsworthy that the fate of the Euro.
It is if you are still in the Conservative Party.
FibDems backstabbers too !! Who would have thought it ?
Let’s hope that this is the last of coalitions.
Will someone ask Cameron, Red Ed and Clegg why I and millions of others can’t have a vote on Europe.
I want to know WHY!
Because we might vote the wrong way.
And we would then be rewarded immediately with another vote, until we got it right…
Look simon hughes has already told you, you voting fodder person ,
Now Is Not The Time.
They are the only five words he and his fellow europhile mp’s know, but they intend to keep on saying them until we believe them.
What I want to know is , if now is not the time, when is the time?
Because I want a say on how many more £billions British taxpayers are going to pour down the EU drain.
Don’t you worry your head about that. We know better than you. We are the special ones.
Email your MP, my MP (soon to have boundary redrawn) has responded to me over the weekend, still don’t fully understand, but at least he has been warned that he has lost my vote.
3 main parties must feel our frustration at the electoral opportunity
Was the guy christened Richard Head, and then changed his name by deed poll.
What a waste of money – tossers!
Time to call them in again?????
RAT catchers descended on Downing Street yesterday – and went straight to George Osborne’s house.
The extermination firm was sent in to lay traps in the Chancellor’s garden after TV news clips caught the pests scurrying between No10 and No11.
A rat was first seen running past political correspondent Gary O’Donoghue on the BBC news. It made a second appearance on ITN.
A spokesman for Westminster council said: “When a rodent is reported we investigate and Downing Street is no exception.”
Who’s worst? McGrory for spreading this non-story, the press for taking it up, or the public for reading it?
Yes but how much did it cost us the taxpayer for No.10 to bring in the metropolitan police and investigate and find out who the culprit plus all that lost staff time in downing street during the ensuing upheaval?
The police should bill the idiot who called them in.
Is the a reflection of the Wholly Trinity again?
Cameron’s the worst for dragging in the police to intervene in a non criminal matter. The Met is not, or at least should not be, at the private beck and call of the Prime Minister.
Well, unlike the previous government, he’s not been arrested so far.
Guido
most of our honourable members have made public statements on the EU referendum and/or EU membership so how about a thread inviting your audience to submit relevant quotes fom their own MPs. Should be quite revealing when linked to how they vote today.
Might also be interesting to note those who vote against a referendum and also happened to be expense cheats. No doubt their constituents would find that informative
Excellent idea. So much pitiful bullshit to read, and all in one place.
And perhaps another suggestion Guido – publish the names of all those MPs who failed to vote for the motion, so that we may show our undying appreciation of their efforts at the next election.
Guido Fawkes caught on camera dealing with a BBC TV Licencing goon.
We need somebody like this:

She would be very welcome to manipulate my data any time.
I hope you’re joking? She looks like Jackie Stallone in drag.
Message to James McGrory:
You aren’t in opposition any more, you stupid hoon. Pissing, inside the tent, with your flaps closed, is not the way forward. Not if you want to keep your job, that is…
Message to everyone in Parliament:
The tent could quite easily fly off in a hurricane.
Just got this email from William Hague
“May I book a 121 with you?”
Any advice ?
Don’t use the minibar
wear metal knickers
Didn’t that Gaddafi guy refuse his people a vote for 30+ years?
The Last time we had a vote it was on a common market in June 1975.

“Cameron hit the roof and his staff got in Scotland Yard to trace the leak.”
If that’s true it’s abuse of office. This is the real story here.
I don’t think so. His children’s safety is a matter for legitimate concern.
I see the SkyNews poll ‘ Is this the time to think about leaving the EU?’ has an 85% Yes to a 15% No.
That 85% can’t all be tory voters can it?
No, especially when, according to most media, 99% of ‘us’ are camping in Finsbury Square.
Apparently.
And do you think, TbT, that if the happy campers outside St Paul’s were actually Countryside Alliance, that the police wouldn’t have moved them on – with judicious force – by now?
WTF have these ‘anti-capitalists got going for them that the police have not moved them on for causing a road block?
And why doesn’t the Dean of St Paul’s instigate legal proceedings against the campers for causing him a loss of income?
Of course not. I haven’t voted Tory in years and I want a referendum.
What the heck is the function of these SpAds, why are we paying for them and how much again?
Especially as they seem to being recruited from kindergarden with the brains and moral compass of a sea cucumber.
I think you overestimate their capabilities.
Sea cucumbers have great health benefits. Google and see.
Remind me again, does he work for
the Nick Clegg who said “I pledge to vote against any increase in (student) fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative”
or does he work for
the Nick Clegg who said “But whether you agree with Europe or not, it is
vital that you and the British people have a say in a real EU referendum.”
And Cameron would, no doubt, classify those as cast-iron guarantees.
