Labour MPs’ Pilgrim Fightback
Called Union-Busting Tory MP “Prick” and “Twat”
It’s taken Labour a week to come up with a semi-coherent defence of taxpayer funding for trade unions. John Healey has taken to LabourList, on behalf of their paymasters, to defend the practice. The gist of his argument is that union reps do good things therefore it is a good thing. It completely fails to take into account that regardless of what good they do, why should we pay for it rather than the unions: representation of the workers is the key reason people pay to join unions, and their union subscription fees should be used to cover it. Any work time spent on union activity should be invoiced back the union. Anything else is back door corruption and a multi-million pound political subsidy from the taxpayer to the Labour Party.
But at least some in Labour Party seem to be trying to engage properly, which is more than can be said of the union heavies on Labour benches. When Aidan Burley’s adjournment debate speech rattled them last Wednesday, instead of constructive arguement, the Tory backbencher was shouted down, heckled and jeered by amoungst others Tom Blenkinsop, Ian Lavery and Steve Rotheram. All MPs with strong union funding ties.
When the mace went up after the debate, the tension was not dispelled. Lavery, who is PPS to Harriet Harman, called Burley “a prick” – something he did not deny when Guido asked him about it, simply saying instead that “I’m not denying anything… I’ve got no comment to make.” Guido has four witnesses willing to go on the record saying that Steve Rotheram said “You just love winding people up, don’t you, you twat”. An allegation that Rotheram vehemently denies:
“…in fact I was the peacemaker on the night (Blessed are the Peacemakers eh!) I admit that when another Member made a disparaging comment about Mr Burley I did say sarcastically to him that there wasn’t a Court in the land that would find against the accusation . I also told him that he wasn’t going to wind me up when he was shouting towards me “what are you going to do about it” in an aggressive tone. … I have spoken with my legal representative and will defend myself against this accusation and will have more than 4 Members to support what I ‘actually’ said.”
Guido guesses he’ll have to see Steve in Court then…
So nice the left are.
second
“I have spoken with my legal representative”
Isn’t that a little OTT for a late night slanging match?
Yes, now bomb Iran!
Who’s the treasury minister who just told the House the Euro will fall apart?
Tax Payer,
You’re not allowed to tell the truth in the HoC.
Look like nice boys.
Where?
Labour MPs love a pilgrim
Perhaps because they are mostly quite dim
In unison they shout
Its out brothers out
As they join in the Archbishop’s Hymn
You don’t get me, I’m part of the Bullingdon
You don’t get me, I’m part of the Bullingdon
You don’t get me, I’m part of the Bullingdon
Till the peasants fry
Till the chavs all die.
Is this the case of never believing a rumour until it’s officially denied?

ROLLS ON FLOOR LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!!!
Was proof needed? Nice to see John Healey taking a higher profile fighting for the rights of Pilgrims than he ever did on anything do with health when he was the invisible and singularly useless) shadow secretary of state …
The simple and basic truth is that taxpayers should not, EVER be funding union activities.
The unions could be doing wonderful things, but the unions, via their voluntary members, should be footing the bill and NOT taxpayers.
Christ on a bike, surely these labour MPs are bright enough to recognise that fact?
mmmmmm. that cottage pie looks tasty
Labour MPs…..bright…..er, no. Does not compute.
Anyone who’s still a marxist cannot be by very aware (or is deeply corrupt).
“Unions could be doing wonderful things”
Such as screaming in terror in dark airtight chambers as the Zyclon-B wafts in from the air-vents.
We all like a laugh, but that particular joke rarely does its teller any credit.
Or bankers.
Left and Right, both are shite.
Lamposts will make us free.

Whoever wrote this was spot on, Kipper has just said he will increase our contributions to the IMF which we all know will be used as Euro bail out money for Greece and maybe Italy. Once again Osborn and Kipper Cameron think the public are fools. How fucking arrogant can you get.
My name is Kipper Cameron I’m an arsehole and a snob
I promised referendums until I got my job
Throughout the last election you believed my CAST IRON vow
But I don’t give a fuck for you, I’m the PM now
I am all for the EU I think there really great
And if they want your money I will hand it on a plate
I will not fight their burocrats, or cut back immigration
I will do my utmost to fuck the British Nation
So forget your Rule Britannia that was prosperous and free
Forget when you could speak your mind I demand PC
I know a million immigrants in Britain are employed
whilst all our youth are on the dole and I am overjoyed
SO FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Annoy Islamists.

Even if Charlie Hebdo is a Communist rag, they deserve our support on this – some parts of Paris are worse than Luton or Bradford for mad mullahs and insane imams.
There’s not a good newsagent stocking Charlie in my neck of the woods, or I’d buy a copy in solidarity.
Just print the picture and “accidentally” tie it around lamposts near the local terrorism centre (mosque).
There’s one just round the corner from me – Friday lunchtime looks like a Taliban revival meeting – all in their pyjamas and silly hats.
Where do you get that from?
Most the “muslims” in france are from north africa or turkey and aren’t very bothered. When theres hassle its usually more about feckless youths on illegal scooters doing teenage arsing about.
Mostly Algerian / Moroccan. Try visiting a Parisian banlieu sometime – the youth are becoming radicalised at an increasing rate. I may be biased though – got relatives over there and they’re none too keen on the Islamisation of France.
Well Stone me , if that ain’t the funniest cartoon ever
Not deserving of a firebombing for all that.
Looks like he’s wearing Elton John’s depilated testicles on his head.

I never did. well, except to the missus.
To be fair to Bonkers Johnson, he has never lied about fathering most of the little bastards in the London area.
Red Ken Livingstone, surely?
Lavery is a semi-literate tit head !!
Lavery is the one with a conviction for football hooliganism so this talk is hardly a shock.
When Blyth Valley and Wansbeck become a new conjoined seat it’ll be possibly the safest Labour seat in England.
A nice, tempting bolt hole for Ed Balls when his disappears. Ronnie Campbell will retire but I’ll wager that Lavery will be a tad nervous.
Watch that space Guido!
Ronnie Campbell, he is another tit heed !
A bully in the Prezza mould with a dash of Scargill thrown into the mix.
Nice to see all the European Riechmasters leaders are ready to sit down for yet another slap up feed at taxpayers expence
at this rate , they will be able to ask the fucking caterers to bail Greece out
“Do Nowt Dave , the Spineless Bean faced twat about to “back door” yet more millions of our money to Greece via the IMF
Our services are being cut , not to pay off the deficit but to pay for massive Greek pensions !
Well done Guido, you’ve flushed them out and have got them on the run.
They’re rattled now their schemes are being exposed for all to see and they can’t take it.
Has the ‘Union Modernisation’ fund been abolished yet?
Yes Guido, keep fingering the arseholes. Can I have your babies now? Or just the regular blowjob?
Hello Tat, how’s your super blog going?
I see they’ve let you out from your secure accommodation.
Time to shut down these commie unions once and for all..they brought the country to its knees in the 1970s,tried again in the mid 80s….never again! They are just part of Labours client state.
Rubbish I was a communist union Convener in the late 60′s early 70′s and did a good job holding the capitalist bosses to ransom. With regards to the public sector finacially supporting union representatives; I am fully in favour of it, they should be subsidised by the taxpayer as they are doing a good job for their members.
Guido
You do relise that by going after Steve Rotherom (Mp for whinging scousers) that you will proberly recive death threats and have your windows put tho,they believe that is was he who singled handedly for the government to get he Hillsbrough papers relesed.
(even tho all parties agreed and Labour done fuck all about it in 13 years and current government have sorted it out within 18 months)
Billy, for crying out loud, lay off the bloody fruit gums.
Pricks and twats are useful, which is more than can be said of these load of left-wing anal-retentives. The unions ruined the British industry during the 1970s and then followed it up with 11 years of Labour misrule and the country now sits deep in the s**t. Thanks you left-handed w***ers.
No wonder they’re getting uppity, people are learning about the corporate crime. It’s disgusting to see money diverted from front line public services to fund these toady MPs.
Now we know their names we can watch them closer.
Unions should pay these shits , not those who pay council tax. Just fraud and corruption by Liebourite scum.
Everybody out!
They are all out, Robbo. Indeed, the whole works is shut down and most of the site cleared, I believe.
Big news: MPs calling each other twats and pricks.
If they keep on telling the truth like that they’ll have the whip withdrawn.
Fuck the whips Euroslime.
Get yourself a name.
Whats this Euroslime thing? I’ve not really said anything pro-Europe, mainly just anti-loopy-hyperbole.
You arent the chap with a greenhouse full of bent cucumbers are you? Comiserations.
Surely even insults said in the HoP are protected by parliamentary priviledge, how could one sue?
What’s the point of suing over being called a twat? Says far more about the user of the term than the recipient, anyway.
In some of the places I’ve worked over the years, ‘prick’ and ‘twat’ were almost terms of endearment. Some people could be somewhat more forthright if they really didn’t like you.
As for the Labour benches – if they’re upset, well good. This is an abuse of taxpayers’ money and it needs stamping out.
The antecedent of the “this” in your final sentence is undoubtedly the practice of “pilgriming”. An unwary reader might think you were in favour of stamping out the Labour benches as a waste of taxpayer money. While that might be a worthwhile goal, it would leave the Toe Rags and Limp Dims unopposed in their own waste of taxpayer money.
I remember one particularly annoying pillock I used to have to work with. One day my patience wore too thin, and I informed him
“If I wanted to work with cunts I’d have been a gynaecologist.”
The rest of the company collapsed in fits of helpless mirth.
I’d suggest using this line next time you are irritated by any particularly dim co-worker.
What should I say?
Suggest that he or she must be the prototype of a completely new species.
shout abuse, threats …. they’ll be striking next!
Wish they’d start striking each other, just like those East Asians we always see in those “Debate was heated in the so-and-so Legislature today” short blurbs on slow news days. A right shmozz never goes amiss, I reckon. Let’s you and him fight, I’ll hold your coats.
“… I have spoken with my legal representative and will defend myself against this accusation and will have more than 4 Members to support what I ‘actually’ said.”
– Interesting use of the inverted commas around the word “actually”. Was that on advice from your “legal representative”, Mr Rotheram?
I don’t believe any Labour MP would have used these words. They are far too long!
“Guido guesses he’ll have to see Steve in Court then…”
Fuck me,Nevis Crown Court is a long way to have to go
Just popped out to get a coffee. Is the euro still intact?
It’s ok, Sarko and Merkel are bribing Greek M.P.’s to betray their country as we speak.
The ‘putes’ of Cannes are working overtime; they’ll all be pretty sore by the morning but all in a good cause, apparently.
There will be No Greek referendum
the threat by Shortarsey
that if they left the Euro meant you had to leave the EU
seems to have got the Greeks on the ropes
No, he said they would have to leave the Euro?
I thought that’s what the Greek’s wanted? Eat the meal and p*ss off without paying?
Pricks and arseholes, all.Including the women. Whatever they feign they feign in vain.
What is needed is not a clean out of the Augean Stables but a conflagration of same.
The ‘pilgrims’ are an insult to every victim of austerity in Britain.
Come to think of it I cannot remember there ever having been a lack of austerity in dear old Blighty.
Any time held up as not austere I feel was probably a mirage.

OH !!!
AIDAN BURLEY M.P. AN EXPERT IN POLICING?
Aidan Burley is the Conservative MP for Cannock Chase. This article in response to a reply to an email sent to Aidan from one of the many police officers that are his constituents. The letter he sent back contains a number of inaccuracies. Of course we all make mistakes but Aiden is a very influential figure in shaping the current Governments approach to policing. This gives genuine cause for concern in view of the current crisis facing the police service through fragmented and disjointed reform. After leaving university Aidan worked as a researcher for Phillip Hammond MP before working for a management consultant company. In 2007 he undertook a career break to work for David Cameron’s Police reform taskforce. It was during this time he worked along side Nick Herbert and Blair Gibbs to produce a document entitled’ Policing for the People’. It is worth reading as it gives a background to the problems being caused by this government. After being elected as an MP Aidan is now working for Phillip Hammond again as his Parliamentary Private Secretary.
Let us examine the content of his letter in a little more detail.
Aidan and the HMIC
Aidan starts his letter with selective use of the HMIC as a reference point. The HMIC says there is not enough time for a Royal Commission so the Government and Aidan agree but when the HMIC states that cuts beyond 12% will affect the front line, they still impose cuts of 20%.
Aidan writes that the HMIC also states only 11% of officers are available for deployment but this figure is misleading because this 11% figure not only excludes officers off duty, but also officers engaged in work in CID, domestic violence and all the other very important specialist areas of policing. This is a common mistake.
Aidan asks why no effort was made to make these savings during the previous years. However the HMIC report states that between 2004 and 2008 forces and authorities revealed efficiency savings of just over 1.5 billion against a target of 1 billion. (£784 million were declared as cashable savings). This demonstrates clearly work was already being carried out to make savings in the ‘years of plenty’ as Aidan describes them.
I hope you didn’t spend long typing all that, because nobody’s going to read it.
I started to read it at 2.42pm and have just completed the first sentence.
It’s so easy to spot the Union sponsored MP’s, as soon as they get to their feet and open their semi-literate mouths, before the class warfare bilge spews out.
That is in the main.
Why are they so uncouth and envious?
Because they are socialists?
We’re a party of decency!
By the way, September 11 was a good day to bury bad news. And by the way, we planned a smear campaign against the wives and children of Tory MPs. And by the way, we tried to smear a train crash survivor who criticised us. And by the way, our last leader terrorised and attacked his staff. But apart from that, we’re decent. Child tax credits!
> Child tax credits!
Only for feckless reproduction.
Or middle class foreign holidays when the decimal point is ‘accidentally’ misplaced.
FUK THE MIDUL CLASS! TAXPAYURS R RITCH SCUM.
And not forgetting .
He lives in a rent free council flat !
Life’s hard for the workers !
£54,00 basic pay for a train driver
Not much difference between a train driver and a rent boy really !
Both sit in a confined space with their hands on knobs all day !
My mate drives a train on the main line , three years ago , with over time he was earning over £75,000
nice work if you can get it !
When Labour MPs call others a twat and prick, the saying “Takes one to know one” springs to mind.
‘Prick’ is a schoolboy insult, anyway. They need to learn to swear properly.
“I know you are, but what am I?” usually follows. Burley does well to resist temptation.
Just give us the fucking money and shut the fuck up. Jog on.
Er, there’s no money left.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/pensions/8866163/Millions-of-public-sector-workers-poised-to-strike-despite-gold-plated-pensions-deal.html
The labour leftwing are just mindless thugs and the unions they support are no better. They are just out for aggro and trouble.
public sector workers yesterday were offered a pension deal that gives then a 20 times better pension than workers in the private sector which is going to cost us the taxpayer £billions and yet they are still striking on 30 November.
I do hope militwit and his unattractive, strident marxist front bench are going to be marching at the head of union column.
Your lifestyle is probably “20 times better” than a Somali refugee.
Would you swap? Does it stop you wanting to be even better off?
Somalis (In Somalia) don’t leech off British peoples wages.
Basically their gain is our loss.
I do not expect to better my lifestyle by stealing off hardworking taxpayers whilst I am being paid far too much taxpayers money already for doing a non job and that is the position of these leeches who are proposing to strike on 30th November.
According to Brendan Barber, the strike will mean car driving license tests will have to be cancelled.
I am quaking in fear. Just how are we going to cope??
Just wait till your community engagement 5-a-day facilitator doesn’t show up for a few days….
Chaos.
OK, so what’s the problem with them striking, then?
We can’t have it both ways.
Thats not what Foxy claims…..oh, sorry, different topic.
Problem? With them striking?
There is no problem. In fact, it’s great – because they lose a day’s pay, so for one day they’re not leaching off the British taxpayer.
If only they’d strike more often. It’s not like they do anything useful. As everyone’s about to discover.
Declare all those that strike to have voluntarily dismissed themselves and don’t let them back into the office (except to collect their copies of the Sun). hat will sort out the cuts programme much faster than seems to be happening.
Just what is Brendan Barber doing swanning around Cannes today? Who has paid for his trip?
Note the cunning left-wing troll use of the word “refugee’ here. Really got you that, didn’t it? Made you feel shame and sadness and caused you you think all lefties really care and you don’t so you are inclined to open your wallet at once and give every demanding sob-story a fiver. Or if they are a student cruelly robbed of the EMA and unable to study Marxism, you cough up a tenner.
Works every time.
Burley is a twat and a prick. He voted against an EU referendum.
Next Friday is 11/11/11. What will happen on this momentous date? Will Gordon Brown die? Will Ed Balls have an epiphany about what a hated c/unt he is and top himself? Will John Prescott explode from overeating? Will Tony Blair get his head caved in by a disgruntled Iraqi?
No. But we can hope, can’t we?
You’ve missed out Kinnock.
No. He strayed into Piggy Pickles office and got eaten.
Respect, Pickles.
Maybe we’ll all look back 93 years and realise “Europe” doesn’t exist any more now than it did then.
My nephew is 11 on that unmentionable date. Should I buy extra garlic in my weekly shop?
Whatever you do, don’t give him a birthday present – that could plant the seeds of socialism in a young, impressionable mind.
Instead, make him earn it.
Children are the most effective re-distributors of wealth on the planet.
Excepting the kids from Village Of The Damned, of course: They were all Tories.
My birthday this year (along with millions of others no doubt) was on 9/10/11. That won’t happen again for a while!
Quite – in fact I think all of these socialist, eco-warriors ought to do us all a favour and stop reproducing. After all, that is what is causing global pollution – the massive population increase.
Is your nephew called Damien?
Have you checked his scalp?
No. His name is Frank and he likes knitting.
Then introduce him to that nice man William Hague – they sound a perfect match.
If you continue to make homophobic jokes, you will be expelled from the Labour Party.
Unless you’re a muzzie, in which case it’s fine.
You can afford garlic. Wow…
at least we now know that Labour prefer Pilgrims to front line workers.
socialisim eh.
The British worker is something to be hated. They kept the Glorious Labour Party out of power for 17 years. We will not forget. The worker is nothing more than a cash-cow, to be milked.
We will return. The milking will continue.
I thought it was elephants that never forget and not cows – although in your case I can see the bovine connection.
At least we know Tories prefer traitors to patriots
Patriotism is racism.
Although it’s OK for the French, Americans (Insert any other race here) to be patriotic. We English have nothing to be proud of ourselves for.
Are you saying Labour voted for a referendum?
Turd.
Yes. Between 1997 and 2010, we consistently voted for a referendum, but the Tories kept out-voting us.
Likewise, they blocked our attempts to reduce immigration, and they stopped us from improving schools and hospitals.
It was also the evil Tories who forced Gordon to sell half the nation’s gold for a pittance, and it was they who forced Gordon to take the national debt to ruinous and unsustainable levels.
Retard.
Pah! Traitors and patriots are exactly the same, except for a ‘p’ being substituted for an ‘r’
Are you suggesting that those grauniad-reading extortion-funded moochers are patriots?
I think they’d tell you off for that.
I always thought Tories weren’t fussy as long as the boy was under 15.
Think you need a doctor. You appear to have a one-track mind.
At least we know Liebore prefers vacant-minded serfs mindlessly voting for the red donkey, to people with brains.
So that Greek fella got his pension plan approved, no referendum for Greece, he must be a good card player or maybe he just wants to live to an old age.
Referendums are verboten.
Perhaps, but surely if you are a traitor, a turd and a cocksucker you should join the Conservative party.
No, you should join the Labour Party. You’re just confused.
An hour is a long time in Greek politics…we could have a completely different outcome by tonight
I was at universty with Aidan. He was indeed a twat and a prick. He is, however, still right. Annoyingly.
All student politicos are full of themselves; when I was at uni Charles Clarke was known as dopehead for two reasons although, strangely, Slimy Al Stewart didn’t go into politics despite his dimness and drinking problem.
Burley is a referendum denier. Fuck the scum.
See #57 ^
Cameron is a filthy piece of shit.
Profound
Have you ever seen a clean piece of shit?
I lathered one up with fairy liquid for at least thirty minutes the other day. It didn’t get clean. but it was great fun trying.
Foxy. So nice to see you on Guido’s blog.
Try rolling it in glitter next time.
It’ll make the Opposition front bench, with all the others.
If the union leaders take their members out on strike, the Government should revert back to their original pension offer – let the union bosses take it or leave it.
David please stop wasting time on these over paid, over pensioned Lefties, stop the Pilgrim funding by the tax payer and concentrate on getting the country out of the over spending mess Gordon Brown, Ed Balls and Ed Milliband created.
Well said Sir. You should stand for Parliament.
Call me Dave is as weak as fuck. He will do fuckall about it.
To my shame I once worked for an organisation that had close links with UNISON. The top level activists spared no effort in funding trips to Cuba to pay respects to Fidel and his their commie mates. Also the number of fantastic union piss ups I attended funded by the subscriptions of nurses, hospital porters and cleaners were beyond belief. They are corrupt to the core.
Ed Mili didn’t cause any of this. He hardly makes a stir in the House.
Labour MPs just can’t help themselves, natural born liars.
A union members avowed intent,
To be a pilgrim.
There’s no discouragment,
Union members are all bent.
It is sort of ironic; the members of both main parties are bent – just in different ways. Now which Tory Lord is chairman of the Westminster kiddy fiddling club?
This is the reason we have two main parties: if all the gangsters mis-running the country for their own ends just set themselves up in one party, it would be pretty obvious what they’re up to.
Two parties, however, allows them to hide what they’re up to.
If you don’t like it, f^&k off to America or something.
Said the Pilgrim Fathers, “A land of plenty”.
Scene: America, 1620.
democracy – leftwing style!
democracy – the usual style
Democracy- EU style.
With a few abstentions, union members today voted overwhelmingly for strike action against evil Tory cuts.
Unfortunately the other 800000 members could not read the flyer to inform them about the ballot, but in Union officialdumb’s eyes- 23% in favour is a mandate for them to strike.
Similar percentages to the last GE, then.
Yes but these people are all members of the same union, and not one union against another.
Is it possible you and your witnesses misheard Guido? After all you did mistake “Blessed are the Cheesemakers” for “Blessed are the Peacemakers”.
Hope all your posts have been cleared by the central committee, otherwise it’s the Gulag for you.
When Gordon Broon sold the gold in 1999 (now a huge known loss), guess what he bought instead: EUROS
They are now about to go worthless.

I wonder if the Germans towels will be thrown in the pool when on holiday in Greece next year.
Lots of fine words in the debate on Pilgrims but will Call me Dave actually do anything. He has been in power 20 months and achieved nothing, many fine speeches but no action.
Whats the betting we will still have union funded Pilgrims at the next election
“Lavery, who is PPS to Harriet Harman, called Burley “a prick” – something he did not deny when Guido asked him about it,”
How could he?
Tom Blenkinsop a truely useless MP, who would stoop to this level.
He’s also an avid supporter of the EU. A real scumbag
I’m Paul McCartney. woooo-hoooooo
