Gordon Finally Wakes Up To Local Crisis
The Right Honourable Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath has finally woken up to the fact there is a crisis in his constituency and it might be an idea for him to actually do the job he is paid for. Guido brought you the news a month ago that part of Gordon’s Fife constituency contained radioactive material. Now with a lack of action, not least from the local MP, the beach could be designated the UK’s first stretch of Radioactive Contaminated Land. Finally today Gordon managed to haul himself in front of a camera.
So what has he been doing instead of representing his constituency? Well:
- £48,166.00 for a speech to Visa International.
- £36,639.66 for a speech to Credit Suisse in Miami, Florida.
- £36,018.18 for a speech to Comtec Med in Geneva, Switzerland.
- £35,873.94 for a speech to World 50, Inc in New York.
- £36,174.63 for a speech to PIMCO in Newport Beach, California.
- £36,174.63 for a speech to Economic Club of Michigan.
- £36,146.29 for a speech to Skybridge Capital in Las Vegas.
- £36,292.84 for a speech to Citi Latin America in New York.
- £36,224.88 for a speech to Pershing LLC in Miami.
It must be a little painful for the former Prime Mentalist that Blair can command the combined total of that for a hour of his time, but do you know what hurts more Gordon? Radiation poisoning…
Toxic waste moaning about toxic waste.
What is his half-life?
Do the fees include VAT
What the fuck does he talks about
Jobbie’s
To be fair, Gordon hasnt just been spending all his time on speaking engagements I seem to recall that he spent last summer in his constituency going for walks, enjoying the World cup on TV and writing his Book all on the taxpayer.
Turning gold into base metal
Turning gold into euros.
Once he got rid of gold, gold rocketed in value. The euros he left behind !!!!!!!!
The curse goes with him.
Obviously labour scum get the labour scum they vote for, and the cosequencies. Hopefully the breeding rate in Kirkcaldy will now fall, reducing the numbers of thick labour voters.
Check out the BBC/Labour outrage at St Andrews Conservative (Boo! Hiss!) students allegedly burning an effigy of St Obama wrapped in an EU flag…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-15847986
GOTCHA !
You don’t charge VAT from services provided outside the UK (technically you do on services provided within EU outside the UK, but they’re charged at 0%).
who paid for the police officers to travel with him??
Do the fees include VAT
This would depend on whether it makes more than one in a single quarter. If he does shouldn’t he be registered for VAT?
Make a note of the companies who invite him to talk for those fees and make sure you don’t invest any money with them, or any company that has a large contract with them. They have not demonstrated a good ability for making the right business decisions have they?
There must be some tax or levy or they wouldn’t be odd amounts
Does anyone know oor Vince’s accountants – they could help out if oor Gordon has a problem with the VAT Inspectors
Looks like many were charged in dollars mr plum – $50,000 each and the exchange rate takes care of the rest
Mr Plum, that looks like €40 000 converted to pounds at whatever the days exchange rate was.
Didn’t realise stand up comedians got that much…
Thank you Guido for the list of who and where the idiots that pay good money to listen to another village idiot.
I’ll need to get a handle on how much he earns and the odds of him trying to hide this from Parliament and the tax authorities, with false expenses of course.
BILLY,please don’t pose as a non-Nigerian !!,
(we know).
I gave him a dose!
Silly man, silly story. A more intelligent response: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/23/dalgety_bay_radiation_tomfoolishness/
Now listen Guido Fawkes….play fair…..all this Jonah stuff….it’s enough to get my Kircaldy’s in a twist.
I was never cut out to be anything other than a Number Two
I thought that you were radio active Gordon!
‘Maybe there was asbestos in 10 & 11 ?’
Fuck the radiation (where ?).
Rather hilariously, it seems that the so-called dangerously high levels of radioactive waste at Dalgety Bay are nothing of the sort. You can read some interesting facts about the ‘problem’ here:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/23/dalgety_bay_radiation_tomfoolishness/
So why is SEPA being seriously overdramatic about the issue? Guido, you might want to watch this for any large sums of cash being promised for the area.
OMG !!!
So it woz him Ewa could hear off the telly in her half-awake , half-aroused dream like state thi mornin !!!
There woz me thinkin I woz havin a nightmare !! That inmistakeable drone , FFS !!
OT , babe : If I continues to use them glo-sticks , is I more or less guaranteed to get cancer of the thingy , darlin ??
Should I go back to the dibber , d’ya think ??
E x .
Although I would suggest avoiding jumbo sized glow sticks, heavy metal background music and your plumbum should be protection enough.
When I first heard a bit of the report on the news, I thought they were talking about Gordon Brown being toxic and radioactive.
Haha, is that what the jocks call a beach? Looks more like a toxic waste dump to me. BTW, I only have to look at Brown to make me want to puke.
You, sir, are an ignorant twat- Dalgety Bay is a piece of shoreline along the north of the Forth Estuary- no one claims it is a beach. The real beach in that area of course is Aberdour-
f+ck’s sake.
Oh fuck, another chippie jock. I said the beach was a toxic waste dump, and that evidently is what it is. Now go and stick your head in a deep fat fryer.
I was eating a double-decker today, and the wrapper said “soft on top with a crispy bottom”. For some reason I thought of you, Billy.
What was it, breakfast, lunch or dinner?
Please Please i know this is a a public forum for debate,
but you should give some lee-way for the mentally impaired
Nigerians !!.
(i would suggest a cull !)
Billy, whatever your real name is, are full of shit.
Im surprised he could walk that far without special incontinence knickers
Don’t you mean “I only have to look at brown to make me want to put my dick in it”?
No I didn’t actually.
But why do the Scotch keep voting for this Jockanese nutcase?
(a) they love benefits
(b) they detest England
(c) they turn a blind eye (snork) to their worthless MP swanning around doing standup
R U Billy Bowden in disguise ? then see 129

What an utter numpty.
Get real, that would buy a 5 minute hand-shake and photo-op from me. Has to be in cash too. Throw in a special unlimited credit card and turn Cherie loose in Harrods for an hour and I’ll even bring up your name the next time the big boys at JPMorgan invite me over to give me my new instructions.
I can even outdo you Tone. I get the money plus as much sex as I can handle with young girls, and I don’t have to make any speeches at all. I just have to make a few statements about countries like Ajerbaijan, Bahrain, Russia, Taiwan etc making statements that they have given me to say, that I pass on to their local press. Simple statements that they are flourishing democracies, protect human rights etc etc. Two minutes work and nice stays in five star hotels, first class flights, backhanders, and unlimted sex with as many teenagers as I can handle. whoahey!
Yawwwwwn…
Boaz, Mike.
Thanks Sir Aston. I always put my exclusives on this blog. Here is an article in today’s local newspaper. Look at the comments. The answer to why I never went out to Afghanistan with the Defence Select Committee, when I was a member, is easily answered. There was no shagging to be had out there. Boaz.

A numpty? A NUMPTY? Broon’s a lying, incompetent, mentally unstable, economically illiterate, bullying, cowardly lump of shit covered in skin. He only married for political advantage. Don’t just take my word for it: those comments come, first-hand, from two friends of mine, one who worked at Numero Dix and another who was at uni with the one-eyed Scottish idiot. Only my solemn word to the Numero Dix operative that I would keep my mouth shut stopped me from passing some choice morsels to the national press back in the days when the useless fucker was still posing as Prime Minister. I sometimes regret not breaking my word, simply because Broon not being of the human race rules him out of any normal considerations of decency and fair play.
Well, he’s out of Downing Street now. Surely your reason for keeping shtum no longer applies. Go on, promise we won’t tell…
[[[[[Whisper it to me - it will go no further]]]]]

Minutes of meetings are all here. It took the SNP to finally write to the Ministry of Defence following a decade of Labour inaction.
http://www.sepa.org.uk/radioactive_substances/publications/dalgety_bay_reports.aspx
Yeah. This is such an urgent problem that the combined might of Fife Local Government failed to find one member to attend the Dalgety Bay risk Assessment Group on 16 March 2009, not even a diversity officer was available. Ra226 is such a low emitter that you’d have to lunch on the stuff for a week to harm yourself. There were some airmen who got cancer of the mouth from shaping the brush to a point when painting instrument numerals, Generally they had been doing the work for many years as instrument fitters.
Weren’t most of those ‘men’, women?
I’ve still got a watch with radium hands – should I be worried, or shall I carry on wearing it like I have for years?
(Note – silly question, as I know that as a weak alpha emitter none of the nasty radiation gets through the stainless steel case…)
Thank you. This site is an emission free zone.
That’s all right – it’s on the wrong wrist for emissions.
Once used to be the only way you could wind the buggers up…
If I were you I would take it up to Dalgety Bay and dump it on the beach?
Don’t take a dump there, it’s contaminated.
Nah don’t worry,if the hand turns black it will grow back,
but if it turns green,go see a Scotch MP.
Unreal that such an abject failure can get paid so much, it’s like employing Gary Glitter as a child minder.
what sort of fucking idiot would pay to hear the braindead mong speak?
Bit harsh on old gary that.
As for radiation posioning, maybe the Russians didn’t kill Sasha Litvinenko after all.
We did.
Bollocks. Like most of your blog.
Everyone knows the Rothschilds did it, with their lizard overlords making the polonium in their devils tits!
Not all my blog is bollocks? Only most of it. Coming from you, paragnostic, I’m taking that as a sincere compliment. Thanks.
I’m sure it’s very well researched, just not terribly choosy when it comes to sources.
Hint – not everything is a conspiracy, most cock ups are just that.
Most conspiracies are cocked up, I agree. But don’t doubt that they are the norm, and you see only what the powerful choose for you to see.
BILLY THE RETARD AGAIN.

Why would anyone pay him that sort of money?
I would have to be paid to listed to him.
Surely he should be investigated for bribary.
Or demanding money under false pretences.
Explains why I don’t want a Barclaycard
Who agrees to pay gits like him and Bliar these massive fees? If I was invited to go to a shit night out like that I’d run a mile
Send him to lick up the radioactive waste with his tongue. Then seal him in a lead box.
£48,166.00 for a speech to Visa International.

It must be – or maybe just an undocumented MySQL bug. The only paranormal thing around is the memory of Gordon as PM. I still have to pinch myself to make sure the nightmare is over.
the speech to Visa International was entitled

Nice but very true !!

BILLY !
It’s not just Brown’s recent inaction as constituency MP. The reason he won’t ask questions in Parliament is because he is afraid of being challenged on his inaction as Chancellor of the Exchequer and as Prime Minister, when all of this was going on, over the last decade or so.
The MoD could have contained this seven years ago if they had accepted responsibility – with Brown holding the purse-strings. Any of the Labour Scottish Executive First Ministers could have pressured the Westminster government… but they left it to a civil servant to write a brushed-aside letter, until the SNP Cabinet Secretary wrote and obtained a pledge of action.
It goes further back as well, with a Labour local authority – responsible at the time for contaminated land – brushing the issue under the carpet. This local authority – Fife Council – was led at one time by Brown’s election agent, Alex Rowley.
Labour were desperate to ignore this issue until it became nothing to do with them anymore. The glowing green stuff is all over Brown’s hands.
It’s known as the Steven Purcell Effect.barnacle bill
Report posted by Jess the Dog # 3 reveals a 1600 year Radium half life.
Not exactly the tiny mistake that can be swept under the carpet.
Except for the fact that a piece of paper will protect you from the deadly alpha rays ejected by the radium – sweep it under the carpet and you’ll be fine.
So Labour knew all about it but did bequar-el as usual.
Kudos.
Curieser and curieser.
Is it gamma over for Gordon’s decaying reputation?
He is a benefits cheat
He has always taken the money and not delivered
Shove it all up Broon’s ass, he can have an atomic pile.
It’s enough to make me and Ed cry.
Who the hell would pay that mentalist twat one penny piece is completely beyond me.

Looks like the Mekon in that green light!
There is nothing right or honourable about the scotch twat.
Scottish- scotch is a whisky
For the sake of linguistic purity, Gordon is a Scots cunt.
He’s only more of a cunt than his compatriots because he managed to get into power – imagine a whole government of pizza frying Bucky drinking piss soaked caber tossers.
We will willing distill him if that will make you happy, robbie.
Lang May Your Lum Reek, Lang May Your Sporran Squeak.
Isn’t it time Guido sought psychiatric help. He’s obviously obsessed with Gordon Brown, so does that make Guido a repressed homosexual? It might explain his macho posturing.
And to think that it was me who saved the world. Isn’t that right, nurse ?
Seems Google and Yahoo search engines are not your cup of tea, eh chuckles.
At least it wasn’t the milkman
Or the postman!
Ah, irony.
Is that Special Delivery, madam?
Johnson used to stack shelves in Tesco, too. (And Milimong gave this moron the job of Shadow Chancellor? – Jesus fucking Christ.) Anyway, wouldn’t it have been funny if his wife was being shagged stupid by a shelf stacker?
Someone who grunts and strains, trying to shove the goods into inaccessible places.
Tessa. You will get my BP up again!!
I used to do a quarterly shop at Asda (like many men, I hate shopping). I would leave home at 02:30 hrs and it took me 5 minutes to get there in the dark. I used to buy 3 month’s supply of non-perishables and come back before 04:00hrs.
As a reasonably observant person, I did not observe, far less join in, any stocking up of the type you mention.
It might have changed my whole attitude to shopping otherwise…
Christ, you’re a pompous arsehole.
Now I’ve told you before, don’t call me Christ.
it is difficult to know whether Schrödinger’s cat, Billy Bowden (and/or his fakes), Rat’s arse or Ewanme is the biggest tosser. At least they are all friends on this website.
Bowden is with us all day. He takes the bait occasionally and calls for moderation. Anon sometimes tears him a new one but he cannot accepted it. He loves this website. He steals posts from other sites and put them on here as his own work
Schrödinger’s cat appears late but has a lot to say.
Rat’s arse mostly criticises people mocking Bowden and little to say for himself.
Ewanme is still basking in what he believes is the glory of a funny name and therefore thinks he doew not need to be funny.
They need to get together for a screen lick’in
Thomas wants to be friends with you on Facebook.
I just pressed the fuck off button.
“Christ, you’re a pompous arsehole.”
You say that like it’s a bad thing. At least I didn’t appoint a Tesco shelf-stacker as shadow chancellor, at a time when the nation’s economy lies in ruins.
Mind you, if I were leader of the Parasite Party and I looked at all the options, maybe – like Milimong – I’d conclude that Johnson was the best of a bad bunch, too.
You forgot me, Thomas, ya fucking tank!
Paragnostic – I can’t say I ever really noticed you. Presumably you think you are a player on this blog like the other four fuckers I mentioned. I have reviewed your efforts and have concluded that you still do not merit a mention. If I ever write about overly self important, and yet highly insignificant fuckers, I will try to remember you (but probably will have forgotten you).
something rang twice and it wasn’t the postman.
“The bodyguard always double taps”.
If that were done to Postman, it would almost certainly miss his brain.
Can I quote you on that”?
Do you think if it was the other way round and the Home Secretary was caught shagging the Policemans wife that said Home Secretary would have been sacked , no longer MP and no pension ?
Let me think, em BLunket, Prescot, probably not. Its a funny old world.
After a bag I suppose the sack is inevitable.
Open and shut case.
He should get a medal for sticking it in the postmans sloppy seconds…

UK National Debt 1997 – £347 billion.
Uk National Debt 2010 – £850 billion plus a deficit of £190 billion a year.
That ‘wirry-carle’ owes us. Big time.
UK National Debt 2011 – £7 tn
If you include all unfunded commitments.
It’s funny how these are all just ‘incomprehensibly big numbers’ until you think how long it would take you to earn one tenth of a trillion pounds and realise that’s just another incomprehensibly big number.
I take the number of working people in the country, say 40m, and get the amount that those with any income would have to pay – crude – but it gives it a context.
If that 7tn is correct, that means £175,000.00 for every working man-jack and woman-jill in the country.
Before we leave that, let us think of how much they earn, on average, and then consider their present commitments: house mortgage, credit card, car loan/s other loans. Then there is the food, clothing, kids’ school and uni costs and transport to get to work to earn the brass to pay for it all.
Only then does one realise that with the amount of available income left, they can’t ever pay off their own debts let alone that of the public. OK, I have ignored corporations paying tax but also I have left out local authorities who deposited money with Iceland (no, not Bejam, although they would have done better if they had done.)
The situation is fucking hopeless!
Listening to something on Radio 4 a few days ago (in that half-attending way you do when it’s burbling in the background) some ‘expert’ explained that the international lenders are happy to lend to Britain at historically low rates of return because our debts, whilst technically higher than most other countries, are covered by valuable assets.
One is left with the question of what those assets might be, and how they might be liquidated to settle debts should that be called for.
What am I bid for a half-built aircraft carrier (no aircraft) and the Royal Regiment of Scotland?
I heard that too, Engineer. The fact is that nobody in the banks, or pension funds, or insurance companies can do analysis any more (I used to do my own!). It is all done by agencies. Yes! That’s right, those agencies who bestowed AAA ratings on securitised sub-prime lendings. How right they were! Didn’t it go well? The whole fucking lot straight down the pan!!! The senior people in all these outfits should be behind bars now, alongside bankers like Fred and politicos like Brown and Balls. Bugger spending money on suicide watch – let them save the state money for a change – give them the choice of coya or nylon rope in the cells.
7 trillion, Cat? And there was I thinking it was a relatively disastrous 4.6 trillion. O tempora, O morons.

Yes. I am beginning to think that double tapping is the better option here as well. Makes sure of it.
…… and there we have to leave them, children, as they bleether on, with that loud wet farty sound, as they wipe themselves off with this week’s copy, but don’t forget – yes, tomorrow they’ll be back again, so we’ll see you then eh? Bye bye now…….. tum te tum te tumpitty tumty tum tum……
Not another fucking BBC rerun.
Miss miss, I remember Chang and Eng miss, who were joined at the brain-
At least they had one.
I didn ‘t realise what, “scunner”, meant until Gordon made the term manifest.
I’m amazed all these companies are stupid enough to shell out to hear that gormless c unt talk faeces for an hour.
Richard Black at the BBC is desperately trying to play this down and discredit it.
The BBC has now given up all attempts to appear impartial on this religion.
It’s cheaper than hiring Eddie Izzard.
At least there’s a chance Gord might leave them helpless with laughter.

I wonder if the fees are paid directly to The Gurner or to a consultancy? The tax planning for an income like his ought to be worth a second look.
Why, anyway, would anyone pay to listen to him? So they can be sure it’s safe to do the opposite?
Does that fee allow for a translator
They get paid to The Office of Gordon Brown Ltd so any profit only attract corporation tax @ 21% rather than 50% if he earned more than £150k
Sorry The Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown Ltd. also saves NI being paid too so good tax planning for them but not for HMRC
Taxes are for wee people.
Och eye.
Who mentioned the eye ?
He salts the money away into a ltd company of which he and Sarah are shareholders
Why are there so many just over £36000?
I thought it might be a round number in US Dollar or Reichsmark but does not seem to be so.
These are lies. I was not paid only £48,166 by Visa. If you look at the long-term aggregates within the context of post-neoclassical endogenous growth via a surplus of tractor production between 2004 and 2009, you will find a real terms compound amount relative to the whole that proves I was paid £598,000.98.
I am on your case.

Gordon Brown the senior arsehole of the labour party.
Ed Miliband the junior arsehole of the labour party.
Tony Blair lying scumbag of the labour party.
Ed Balls all round arsehole.
retardEd Milimong, Puppet-Leader of the Parasite Party, and his two lieutenants, Balls-up and Chuckup, the Dimtastic Duo.
How certain is it that Johan has paid or will pay the full TAX (just like the peasants) to HM Customs & Revenue, after he has fully accounted the Tax then 50% of the gross sum must be paid to HM Government, as why should he personally benefit from his time in Government (thats debatable I know) he was very well paid by all of us during this time & seems only fair then that 50% of Gross amount from what ever source is paid into Government coffers, this includes all politicians from what ever party especially the biggest lying shy*ter Bliar, he would be required to under go lie detector tests to ensure all monies he has purloined since leaving office are declared. Including offshore funds , trusts & funds in accounts under Nom de plume’s otherwise all of his properties are confiscated !!! If its good enough for the peasants so its good enough these fu*king p*mps to pay more, rather than just pocketing the proceeds of there ill gotten gains & them saying f*ck the peasants
There once was a c unt called Brown
I wish he was dead
There was an old cunt called Brown,
who wore the biggest of frowns,
he trained Red Ed,
we wish both were dead,
and now Brown’s gallivantin’ around.
Now Brown – we all know that he’s a,
completely incompetent geezer.
Though it took many days
to detect gamma rays
it didn’t take long to use Visa.
he doesnt give a feck about anything other than himself.
he’s actually no different than any other career politician … its just that brown would happily throw you and your family under a bus simply to make himself look important and would rationalize it as something that had to be done for your own good.
I feel sure you would want me to point out your no doubt entirely accidental omission of the fact that he’s not personally receiving a penny.
Finished with that barrel yet?
Wrong again Jimmy, you really should stop getting all your information from one place.
He is, however, in receipt of £65,000 pa gross plus expenses (net) from the taxpayer for (not) turning up in Parliament.
It will probably make two tenths of f***-all difference to the majority of his constituents that he isn’t turning up at Westminster to represent their interests and hold government to account on their behalf, but that is what he is (supposedly) paid to do.
At least we won’t be shelling out much in travel expenses.
If you wanted to single out someone in public life as a skiver you would have to be pretty partisan to go for someone who spent thirteen years in Downing St whilst ignoring other ex PMs who have spent their twilight years troughing to Olympic Standard.
Brown may be an ex-PM, but he’s not an ex-MP.
Other ex-PMs either turned up to represent their constituents before being kicked upstairs (Thatcher and Major), or took the Chiltern Hundreds (Bliar).
Look I miss him too, but the world just isn’t going to put itself to rights now is it?
Ironically, perhaps, the world stands a much better chance with the one-eyed gurning goon out of the way; however, the fact remains that the taxpayer is paying him a very good wage to do a job he patently isn’t doing very much of.
You think he’s sitting around in his jammies watching Countdown? Thatcher’s claimed half a million in the last five years to crawl out of her bottle once a month and wave at something. Get a grip.
Thatcher isn’t an MP with constituency duties, you twonk.
And in your head that’s a reason for giving the mad old drunk half a mill?
Rightie logic I suppose.

Jimmy,
blah blah
You said Gordon isn’t receiving a penny. You’re full of shit. Move on.
Does he work for free as an MP?
Your’re right: he’s all heart. Kind of a Lassie and a Princess Di all rolled up into one adorable package.
O/T any of you guys on TALKTALK webmail having problems??
I know their system is crap. I cannot acess my emails
Sorry to be a pain, just would like to know.
Was seduced by their offer of free internet when they launched. After experiencing duff routers and awful customer support, moved as soon as I could. The people from Yorkshire offer good service and decent value.
Brown is radioactive.
Climategate II is brewing up nicely.
Meanwhile Hansen has been shown to be making more numbers up in GISS temperatures for Africa.

Why would anyone anywhere pay Gordon Brown to speak on any subject. Don’t they realise that he is a complete headcase?
Get real you money wasters out there!
Facebook has reduced the world to 4 degrees of separation.
But you still cannot find a fucking plumber when you need one.
Stick your tail in it.
Not a good idea if it’s a boiler that’s gone on the blink…
Wives and girlfriends should never be spoken of like that.
May they never meet.
If it’s a wife or girlfriend that’s gone on the blink, you don’t need a plumber. Especially not a fucking one.
Or maybe you do – it would ‘move the situation on’, so to spe ak.
A set of large grips normally sorts it…
You calls, yes? I can be in UK by Tuesday if you’s having with your pipes some trouble.
PS I’m Stanislav’s brother-in-law. He is in hiding above a laundrette in Cheam.

I fucking well give up.
See you all again sometime – no more comments ever.
Not those little green vegetables by any chance?
Don’t go. We need you.
“little green vegetables” ?
Do you mean peas, or the Liberal Democrats?
No. You know the rules. You can say pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs, pеаs as much as you like here but L1beral Dem0crat5 are banned – and quite rightly too.
Don’t you find “Liberal Democrat” is a laborious way of spelling “scum”?
Tessa. I have spoken to you before about this sort of thing. Now it appеаrs that I have to repеаt myself (two pеаs in a row!). Do not be insulting like that.
To scum.
Example of tautology: Pea-brained Liberal Democrat.
Ha! Catch me if you can!
Did you know *adopting the EL Wisty intonation* that there has never been a Lib Dem MP with the letters pеа (in that order) in their forenames, surnames or constituencies – ever.
The closest that extensive research discloses is that the letters green appеаr in:
Lynne Featherstone, Hornsey and Wood Green
Matthew Green, Ludlow (departed)
Then you have to go to your namesake Tessa Munt, Wells (a bit like mint in spelling but more like something else in practice.)

Perhaps you should entertain your correspondents with a classic post from the past relating to a certain Gordon Brown.
On 26th January 2009 at 4.27pm the fabulous and much missed poster ‘stanislav, a young polish plumber’ (sic) wrote of Gordon Brown under the heading ‘Fevered Minds in High Places’.
Many of your current readers may never have had the pleasure of reading the contributions of ‘stanislav’.
No doubt this piece will be in your archives. If not, I have a copy – it runs to nine pages on MS Word.
If you are interested, of course.
Stanislav was / is a genius. I recommend anyone to search on ‘Gordon the Ruiner’ and hence to be able to read pearls like this: “And Gordon the Ruiner was born, some say hatched, in what were called the BadJocklands o’ Fife, far distant, ten nights march, in a place of ever-warring tribes, of filth and disease, where men dressed and acted as women and women were thrashed like mad dogs and all were an abomination and it was a land of inebriate, cross-dressing, wife-beating, child-molesting Jock sonsafuckingbitches…”
It Stanilav tried posting those comments now, he would be modded by N E O G ui do.
Quentin? I love boys called Quentin.
It went in, Quentin.
Come on Guido. Be Fair!
‘radiation spreading across his constituency’…
What do you want hi to do about it? There’s no money in it for him!!
There’s no money left anyway!
Rosyth naval yard that handles nuclear submarines is only 3 miles from Dalgety Bay, err… isn’t it more likely this is the source of the radiation? Blaming the recently discovered radiation on WW2 flight instruments sounds like a decoy.
This was in the Independent in 1994:
Mr Brown, whose Dunfermline East constituency includes Rosyth, attacked as ‘totally unacceptable’ plans to moor seven decommissioned nuclear submarines at the dockyard, while long-term policy was formulated. Mr Brown said the documents showed safety restrictions at the site were to be downgraded.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/rosyth-to-become-nuclear-graveyard-1376693.html
Anyone know if “our Gordon” actually did anything to get rid of these submarines when he was in government for 13 years? BTW, there have been numerous radiation leaks from decommissioned subs at Rosyth over the years.
No it is 100 % likely that the radium found at Dalgety is from the luminous dials of the planes disposed of there. The radio isotopes from submarine are totally different.
Those dial fragments should be easy to spot in the dark
Lol.
They must have been nightfighters.
Hmmm. That’s if we believe the people taking the readings. Not that the govt would ever write false reports or lay false trails, of course.
Believe what you want Dude but radium is not a by product of Naval reactors.
Shhh! You’ll disturb his tin foil hat and reality distortion field.
So glad I’m not a member of the “hook-line-and-sinker” brigade:
This is from a US report:
“The Navy has considerable amounts of radium-226 at current and former shipyards, naval air stations, bombing ranges or research facilities. Examples of where radium-226 can be found include:….”

No gordon was too busy whilst chancellor trying to stab bliar in the back by manipulating fiscal policy ie starving the Iraq War of funds in the hope of precipitating failure and so embarrassing bliar. Never mind if troops died. He only cared about his personal vendetta with bliar.
Unusual and exciting fishing to be had then.
Catch ‘em ready cooked.
It all sounds fishy to me. If this story heats up what’s the bets the “Saviour of the World” steps down pretty smartish and sneaks off. Are Mandy and Bliar stirring this up in the background? I certainly hope so.
The curse of Gordon strikes again, my advice to those people of Kirkcaldy that did not have the sense to leave several years ago is flee now, the last thing you need is radioactive Nokias flying all over the place.
The best thing that can happen is that Kirkcaldy, now a Scottish Parliament SNP seat, also votes Independence in the referendum. Then we can leave Gordon down in Westminster to entertain all you appreciative folks. We’d certainly hesitate about letting him loose again up here based on his recent performances.
If we’re lucky the one eyed cnut will have a half life which ends in 2012.
Ah ha pitch blend me mateys ,oh ahhhh but does sound like good old radium , hard to imagine isnt it , people used to paint the stuff onto watch faces by hand , there was even radium toothpaste very early on .
Daniel Kawczynski ? Did he really say that to an invited NGO group ?? ps if he cannot define what sustainable means in planning , or for that matter answer what petition threshold he would require to change the law , oh er Daniel thats right your not having a referendum ,peteition or anything else on behalf of the loss of nature , surely your not a PTCATTC mp Pour The Concrete And Take The Cash , I would wager more constituants oppose the planning reforms than the head of the NT , will you wager your seat on it ? Ill contact the local paper to see if they want to run a petition ?
To be fair, Gordo hasnt just been spending all his time on speaking engagements I seem to recall that he spent last summer in his constituency going for walks, enjoying the World cup on TV and writing his Book all on the taxpayer.
PIMCO?
Ffs, who would pay to listen to him yapping about the Bond Market? Christ on a bike…
Who the hell in their right mind would pay to listen to that loathsome creature?Or his boyfriend bliar? It must be post dated payoffs for services while in office. No other explanation fits the bill. And how much is the bill? Last count, a few trillion, of our taxes, pensions and savings.
Pianowire is a darling thing when best put to judicial usage.
Clare Perry on Sky paper review in very short skirt. Very tasty.
If you’d seen the minge on it, you’d have someone holding on to your boots
Linky linky?
What’s more concerning is that some dumb bastard in Visa International though it would be a good idea to give the MONG £40,000.
Time to rip up my Visa card to stop the contagion reaching my household.
I wish all the people of Fife the best.
It’s safe to say Clare Perry has a killer pair of legs. Give her a cabinet post, Dave.
No point. You’d never see them under the table.
(Unless you’re Larry the cat in disguise.)
I can’t see how Thomas Cook can survive a Billion squid debt. They must surely go under.
Debt is not a problem.
Ticker Ticker Timex. Those watches we wore as kids back in the sixties ALL had luminous dials coated with radium paint. The glass lens blocked all the alpha particles and they were not a hazard unless the dial was ingested.
And likewise dalgety beach is not a hazard unless eaten.
I don’t want to worry you, but I bet the watch you wore as a kid back in the sixties had a plastic ‘lens’, not a glass one.
Mwaa ha ha ha haaa!
(Only kidding, you’re probably right.)
I remember a geek at school bringing in a WWII bomber compass to chemistry class – it weighed a ton and glowed even in daylight.
He usually kept it under his bed.
The things people were reduced to before satnav…
I had a Timex watch in 1960 with a luminous dial. I was taken on a tour of a nuclear power station, and caused panic when routinely tested before leaving because they thought I had picked up something nasty in the works.
Radium gives off alpha particles, beta (electrons) and gamma rays — the works. Modern luminous dials use tritium, whose decay releases only electrons and electron neutrinos. The electrons cause phosphors in the paint to glow, as in a fluorescent tube.
Now here’s something. There’s a lot of flak given to the bbc here. But I’m watching Newsnight’s report on huge pay rises for executives, and Mason said that while some lay the blame for the large gap between rich and poor on Thatcher, it was under Blair and Brown that the structure of capitalism changed the most that caused the current situation. And now Chucky is in the studio criticising the report!
But Chucky is an extremely rich and privileged champagne socialist.
Chuka’s pole is well lubricated and a pleasure to climb.
Liz Truss is wiping the floor with Chucky Umunna.
Chucky’s making a massive fool of himself. He said “I find this whole discussion bemusing”. Condescending c unt.
I barely knew who Chukkup was a few weeks ago, and yet now, out of no-where, there’s a whole new reason to hate Milimong’s Parasite Party, more than I hate Camoron’s faux-Tory filth.
Well done, Milimong! Congrats.
Mongfaced Twat.
Some say Gordon is the Stig.
Maybe the fat American version.
Doesn’t matter how little he does, the thick jocks will vote him in regardless.
Exactly. (Except thick is otiose in this particular sentence – it is already contained within the collective noun.)
Fair’s fair; these people created Glenfiddich.
What’s that got to do with the price of fidd?
What’s that got to do with the prіce of fidd?
The fog clears and an awful monster, mutated by radiation, rises from the sea.
It’s GORDZILLA!
Red wine. Screen. Thanks.
That’s not Adolf – it’s the bloke out of ‘Allo ‘Allo. Gordon something. The barman.
It’s Blakey from On The Buses
Harry Cole on the radio – twenty past four in the morning and his coiffure’s still pert.
Fuck me, Harry – you sound like a right cunt. Pissed, as well. I’ve heard more sense from a fucking donkey.
I wouldn’t listen to me if it was free.
Who are all these idiots who pay to listen to my drivel? Obviously they have much more money than sense. I feel so at home with them…
Dizzy Gordon took an axe
And gave his mobile forty whacks
When he saw what he had done
He gave Prudence forty-one
I wonder if this will help us to rid ourselves of the charlatan Cameron :

Do you never sleep – or have you just got up early, as I have?
Well now, look who’s talking !
I don’t like it – it’s too quiet. The wicked witch of the north must be up to something.
Evil never sleeps, lad. But I had a good night’s sleep and … * goes out onto terrace, looks and returns* … I can see the Julian Alps but, in the direction of the Dolomites, there is some dark cloud layer which is often indistinguishable from the mountains there. 50% blue sky now which means good chance of fine day. Paragnostic had no one to talk to in the night but I suspect sockpuppetry below.
Indeed. Sad, isn’t it ?
I guess you’re poised to Caesar triumph.
A touch of verbal diarrhea cat?

Can I just say that I’m just here for the tittle tattle, rumour, gossip, foul language, and sexual innuendo? Thank you.
Since defeating Mr Hitler and his Hugo Boss clad hordes, so do we.
I’d just like to say thanks to’ Enoch was Right’ at 103, for drawing my attention to that Stanislav post.
I found this life saving (well my sanity anyway) blog late in 2009 (posting under various dodgy names) so had missed it first time around.
It is a real pleasure to read now knowing the mad cowardly monster is no longer in power (although his propaganda wing still are).
Jetting around the world, building his “low carbon economy”.
So they are giving their local radioactive beach in Jockland their full attention then.
If the going rate for a speech from Gordo is about £36k (that in itself is alarming), how come Visa had to fork out £48k to hear the one eyed bum bandit babble on about how he saved the world?
It was classified as having comedic value according to my notes.
He wanted lunch as well.
“Black Wednesday” wil just get worse for David”Arse” Cameron at todays PMQ’s.
It’s just a metter of time before Cameron takes the refund and fucks off !
FTSE 100 5187.37 – -19.45
Cheers, mate! You are really helping my shorted positions… Remind me to buy you a beer – you will have deserved it.
Yep, down about 0.4%.
Its almost as if the Miliband stooge enjoys seeing pain and suffereing to everyones pensions – I guess Labour are only really pretending to care when they make their vacuous comments on the economy
Twas ever thus – and ever thus shall be.
Any other MP apart from Gordon of course would be tabling a question to the Prime Minister at PMQs to-day regarding what action the MoD was undertaking to clear this up and to allay fears of his constituents but of course as Gordon still thinks that he should be PM he’ll not be doing this………
Perhaps someone will prepare a written question for him – to save him the effort of turning up for work
Sorry Guido, I just cannot believe how anyone would pay money to hear this pedestrian, soporific and tiresome merchant of gloom speechifying [what has gone wrong with the world - has life, for these sad listeners reached such depths of despair?].
Although, for sufferers of insomnia, I can appreciate Brown’s oratorial perambulations may be of some benefit but only if the NHS wants to fill secure wards with sectioned patients who once merely suffered through sleeplessness.
I guess that’s Visa International, Credit Suisse, Comtec Med, World 50 Inc, PIMCO, Economic Club of Michigan, Skybridge Capital, Citi Latin America, Pershing LLC stuffed then.
A radioactive beach? Where else would they get deep fried Mars bars from?
I am no fan of our late Prime Minister, but at the risk of driving fellow Guidophiles into foaming rage, it could be said in his favour that, if he is conning deluded foreigners into listening to his rantings for money, and the Inland Revenue then gets half of it, he is actually making a private-sector contribution to the UK economy for the first time in his useless life. Or is ‘The Office of Gordon and Sarah Brown’ ducking tax?
I like that G Brown (retired) is jetting around the world giving speeches.
Now, more people than ever before can say as we do, what the hell is that man on and does he know what he’s saying?
