Any Excuse to Run This Picture of Ed Balls

Balls has a favourite hand gesture to indicate growth flat-lining. When he pulled it out today Dave quipped:

“You can go on making your questionable salute…”

What did he have in mind?

    The state of Europe, the re-unification of Germany and Balls in that uniform send very worrying signals. Cameron is no Churchill.

      I fear that you are completely correct…….

      “When I warned [the French] that Britain would fight on alone, whatever they did, their Generals told their Prime Minister and his divided cabinet: ‘In three weeks, England will have her neck wrung like a chicken.

      “Some chicken….Some neck!

    What he’s actually doing in the photo top right is describing sticking the bicycle pump in the spokes, which is what he would do were he Chancellor of the Exchequer.

    A medical person says:

    Balls continuously uses the ‘flatline’ gesture. It has been going on for some months now and the behaviour is self explanatory. If you embarras a child by catching them doing somrthing wrong like picking their nose, you will often find them doing it again deliberately in an effort to hide their embarassment and inadequacy.

    Balls has be both publicly and sub conciously found wanting in his economic opinions and consequently is making gestures like the nose-picking child.

    In my opinion he is close to a nervous breakdown. His close friends have seemingly deserted him and this marginalisation is also exacebating his condition.

    The man needs medical help and quickly.

      The useless fucking Tories deficit reduction plan is fucked without growth. Yet all they’ve done the past 18 months is tinker around the edges of public spending, increase regulation and red tape and increase taxes. If i want fucking socialism I’ll vote for the real thing not this insipid, all things to everyone, progressive, red tory, white feathered bullshit!

        I seriously hope you arent in support of the economically, Cretanic moron depicted at the top of the page?! In case you haven’t noticed the two Useless chimps sat in the center of Labours front bench gave us this crippling debt crisis in the first place! They sat in the chancellory for the past 13 years twiddling their thumbs it would be highly hipocritical of Labour to talk down the Conservative economic plans…

    Swivel eyed bearded parasite Rowan Williams writes in today’s FT “Time for us to challenge the idols of high finance”

    I now know that Rowan Williams in no Christian.

    If Williams was a Christian, he would have faith that the bankers will get what is coming to them without intervention from the British Governmen

    “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” -Matthew 6:24

    Keep out of money matters Williams

      CYNICAL OLD MAN says:

      Why doesn’t Williams sell some church assets and give that to the poor? Certainly doesn’t practice what he preaches. Typical Blair placeman.

    How is the Daily Mail able to do a full article on N1gger the Dambusters’ dog and not mention his name once?

    Why do we have to censor our history? It was fact. He was called N1gger because he was a bl@ck dog. End of.

      This (below) is a direct ‘copy and paste’ from the linked article. The dog’s name is there, yes only once, but there it is.

      “Gibson’s Labrador, Nigger, was the mascot for the squadron that launched an audacious night-time raid on three heavily defended dams deep in Germany’s industrial heartland using bouncing bombs”.

      The Mail also mentions that the dog’s name will be changed to Digger for a movie, for obvious, if rather distasteful reasons. I also hate this meddling with history.

        Err, why is calling a dog a rude word considered wrong? If I called a coloured person that word it would be wrong and offensive, if I call an animal that word why does anyone get upset?

        What if I called my hamster ‘Quear’, or my whippet ‘Pakky’ would that be wrong?

        There is a pub in Wiltshire that has a pet goose which they called Hitler.

      How d’ya work that one out.?

      Public service unions’ll be going on strike on 30th november to defend those indefensible gold plated pensions they want us taxpayers to pay for – nobody will notice they’re not working and red ed’s labour party will be blamed for any disruption they do cause.

      Unions never win by striking. All they do is harm their own members and damage the labour party.

          The Unions are hugely popular in the manufacturing sector!! They consolidated their power base in the public service sector during Tony’s rule and stood idly by as the people who make things lost out to cheap labour from the far east. Where were the unions when thousands of low skilled jobs went to Poles, Portuguese and others from the cheap end of the EU? Cockle pickers and farm workers all from overseas and all non-union. Where were you?

          All together now! “The working class can kiss my arse, I’ve got the Steward’s job at last.”

    Ed Kikinda-Balls wants the economy to fail, so he is busy talking and gesturing it down.

    Now, this means that Ed wants millions of people to be thrown on the dole. As this would prove something or other.

    You see, it doesn’t matter to Ed because he and his wife are both very wealthy people on very good salaries.

    Actually i find Ed Balls rather endearing. HONESTLY. He speaks so much sh*t and hardly anybody takes him seriously- he reminds me of Alexai Sayle’s appalling stand up comic from his old TV show. The similarity is amazing.

    Edward says:

    Cameron lost his cool over a chubby chap waving his hand around.

    Dave’s far too easily harassed. He should simply ask himself why Balls behaves as does.

    Likely, because Dave responds as he does and can be relied on to do so.

    Balls is winning here sadly.

    Was Balls a bully at school too? Come on, there must be someone out there who knew him in his Schooldays who can dish the dirt.
