Denied Day in Court
So after Guido having instructed solicitor Robert Dougans of Bryan Cave to formally submit a Witness Statement to Lord Justice Leveson, as so compelled under threat of imprisonment, Lord Justice Leveson now says he is discharging Guido from appearing tomorrow. Well Guido had a lot to say.
It is almost as if they are embarrassed at the string of cock-ups. First of all no crime has been committed. The evidence was not restricted until after it was published. Some might think that an inquiry into matters like press hacking and privacy should be careful to protect itself from press leaks.
Alastair Campbell went from “shocked” on Sunday at his draft evidence leaking to the media to explaining this morning that actually he had emailed his dodgy document to a few journalists, politicians and friends. How shocking to discover that there was no WMD it leaked.
So all that dark guff about the Leveson Inquiry’s computer security being compromised turned out to be rubbish and Alastair Campbell is shown to be a disingenuous manipulator, again. Oh, and under the terms of the Restriction Order Guido is not allowed to tell you what he was going to tell the judge in his Witness Statement tomorrow. Suffice to say Guido was refusing point blank to reveal his source’s name. Maybe Guido should just email it to a few close journalist friends…
Publish and be damned!
If you could find out why people, business and countries are paying Blair, it will be in the national interest. No one will give a fuck how you got it.
Take it from me: nobody cares. What part of that don’t you understand?
Only the 99% care. The 1% don’t give a damn.
Any one worked out how much of the 1% is made up by the trade union fat cat bosses ?
Enlightenment is a virtue …. ?
Money making Blair loves creativity. Out of government Blair can teach us a thing or two. In government Blair was just naive. Only he and he only could see the truth. Prat.
How about a third question: why did you go on a witch hunt for Dr Kelly, using all means possible? When can we expect a proper inquiry about Campbell and Blair, not the shams we have witnessed to date??
It is reported today that that Blair’s government tried to get Saif Gadaffi into Oxford in 2002. Were the same attempts made for Jack Straw and Campbell’s son? An inquiry needs to be commenced to check the Oxbridge selection policy is fair and open.
I have heard rumours that the whole Blair family
now hold Irish passports ?,since his ‘conversion’
to the papists,the last remaining elements of
the Roman Empire (check it).
Mr ‘kiss my ring’ Blair is sorted,thank you very much.
Guido, are you able to publish or link to the Restriction Order?
Better still, can you publish a link to an off-shore website that carries a copy of your intended statement.
Where is our Billy? Hope he is having a good time with his family and friends tonight.
Yeah wHy not “leak” your statement to this blog.
Goydo is learning some valuable lessons.
A question for Lord Leveson: what is his view about witness statements which have the input of ghost writers? Should this practice be discouraged …. If so should Mr Campbell be requested to reveal his sources?
One knock for yes, two knocks for no.
Charlotte Church’s old agent was on radio 4 earlier, he DID arrange for mix Church to sing 4 free at Ruperts wedding, just as he did 4 prince Charles. Church was lying to Leveson.
They also checked other witness statements , Hugh Grant lied, his medical records were not hacked it was simply a film star turned up at A&E , all the staff and patients gossiped about it and someone phoned the Sun.
Lots of other evidence given by witnesses was also discredited. The Inquisition is a farce.
Not as good as ‘Noises Off’ however.
Sardines!
Yes, but she’s got big tits – that is sufficient credibility before the judge.
so corrupt health workers are ok?
that is worse as i pay for them.
Don’t publish it. Just share with your many co-conspirators an early draft.
Got my copy. Found it in a pub selling Guinness
I know one of those in London.
PUBLISH!
Careful Guido…… look what happened to at least one honest guy who crossed the establishment….
Very true.
Wonder if that will be raised in the Leveson inquiry?
Sounds like Leveson himself is afraid of a short walk in the woods. WTF is going on?
cant you tell him to work his restriction order right up his fucking bangle?
Who knows what Guido might have said ?, if so who would know if Guido was saying what he would have said to Leveson ?
Guido might have said something like this to Leveson.
The Leveson “show business” Enquiry is becoming a running joke.
It was categorically denied that Charlotte Church was offered £100k for her appearance etc from reliable sources, and that the offer of favourable publicity was offered and given, especially in the USA.
So this could all turn very nasty on those zzzzz celebs trying to make publicity out of the big bad media.
My advice to Guido is to not bother to take any part in it.
More and more it reminds me of Stalin’s show trials with the doctors, generals etc.
Just another legal inquiry set up by the Government to get them off the hook. As has already been stated on this blog, Cameron was so close to News International and up Murdoch’s arse, that when the truth of all the hacking started coming out, he set up this inquiry as a diversion. The lawyers will of course do what they are supposed to, as they will all get rich out of it.
I am not a Russian Spy and I am prepared to testify before a legal inquiry headed by either Lord Hutton or Lord Leveson or even SIAC to this effect. Boaz

Good idea of ours to do the Panorama programme, Mike. You can carry on your work for us now as normal.

We will deal with them.
Shouldn’t Leavesoon be charged with bringing the Law into disrepute ?
I believe he has been – and a very fine job he’s doing too.
Even by the standards of rigged ‘enquiries’, Leveson is proving to be remarkably inept. What a circus.
Send Leveson your legal bill. I bloody would.
Not to mention the cost of his travel back from his native shores necessitated by this frivolous summons.
Oh bummer – what a shame. I was looking forward to seeing events played out. Guido is the grit in the oyster and now is ‘effectively’ silenced. I am disappointed that someone who could have provided a hitherto unheard insight into the culture of the press is denied a voice. How it seeks to manipulate (and is manipulated itself by the establishment) to serve their common ends. Poor show…
I sent my statement to all my friends and lawyers, and they are all honest, they would leak nothing!
I am not a hypocrite. Labour NEVER paid to find out all the personal details of train crash victims and smear them all in the press for them questioning rail safety under a Labour government.
I never manipulated government reports to deceive others into dragging the UK into an illegal war in 45 minutes. I never sexed up anything.
Pot calling kettle black.
Replace the word ‘Media’ in the above clip with “New Labour Government” and we’re on the money.
How do you know AC didn’t leak it directly to Guido?
Guido
Why did you send Leveson a begging letter asking for the tax payer to pay your legal fees?
Have a drink, Scumbell.

You can tell me. I don’t exist. Sometimes.

You could have reasonably responded by asking him to prove that he was not a Martian interloper pretending to be an immigration official. It would have not have been appreciated, I am sure, but it would have made just as much sense.
A return-ticket dated a week later would have done it. WERE you going to the States to work? You’d have been in good company, as the US is home to 20,000,000 illegal entrants and visa overstays, allegedly, although the number has gone down, it is said, because enough desperate Americans took the jobs the foreigners would have ordinarily taken in better times.

Question ? Why is every Tom Dick and Harry getting their legal costs covered at the Leveson (No hope of a result ever) and poor old Guido Fawkes who has to dig deep to pay for his legal team. Is it another attempt to bankrupt him in order to close him down.
Well said, me duck.

Surely you should have the same right as Leveson to make claims live on TV?
TV? Guido has a bigger audience right here…….!
Campbell is complaining that the press has a ‘culture of negativity’ about politicians. If so, Campbell and Mandelson – and their spin doctoring – are directly responsible for a great deal of it.
Rick Mandleson; “This could be the start of a beautiful fiendship”

So when did Campbell become a politician.
What a hypocrite, having made his living from the press.
Well done Guido. Never cave in. Keep sticking it to them where it hurts.

Brilliant … they have gagged you … the bastards
hmmm. I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
Gagged who?

Hilarious, innit. Enquiry forbids informed insider from giving testimony in case he says something they don’t want to hear.
I’m shocked, shocked to find that leaking is going on in here! [a Spad hands Campbell a press release]

He’ll probably get a knighthood.
How much would Her Maj require to, ahem, let the sword’s blade slip a notch?
Go on,,,you can tell me.
Reveal the name to me then you can be all indignant and “shocked” when I disclose it?
Well Guido haven’t they made a mess of things now that they’ve found out that alycampbell had done his own leaking?
You forgot though that they also served the order to the wrong address in the first place.
keystone cops or what!?!
It looks like Watson lied to leveson, however in fairness he should be called before the inquiry to explain the circumstances in which he obtained and posted Campbells statement.
Looks like Leveson is only interested in liars.
Perhaps Cambell(spits)should pay your legal expenses.
What a total waste of time & money this all is.
You miss the subtleness of my posting.
Would be nice but Leveson et al. have already accepted his contention that he ripped it off Guido’s posting. I would like to see net logs, caches, timings etc to back that up BUT he’s an MP and a ‘gennulman’ etc. etc.
Apart from having to go to work , I was looking forward to Thursday………
Historic strike by 2 billion public sector workers has left the nation in chaos.
“It will take weeks to recover from all this shopping we’ve done,” said nurses in Oxford street.
“We’re standing up for our beliefs. A belief in massive entitlements. I’ve lost a days pay and went on an open topped bus that was really expensive. And I paid £6.50 for a small larger! But its worth it, if it means I can blow a whistle. Fly my made up flag and have a nice walk in the big city.”
Spot on BQ.
Who actually noticed?
All these idiots have done is demonstrate their palpable non-worth.
A BBC announcer read the shipping forecast at 0525. Made a much better job of it than any Met Office presenter. I have no brief for the BBC, but why the fuck are we paying all these Met Office people as well? (Mind you, Laura Wotsit is quite cute.)
Anyhoo, that is the only effect of the strike I noticed.
Call a national strike and help our embattled retailers.
its worked. Online numbers today are looking exceptional. All those people staying at home on strike or looking after the kids seem to have been shopping online.
To be fair the strikers and their hangers on almost brought a staircase in a west end office building to a complete halt this afternoon.
Seems the country carried on and the unions look what they really are antiques , out of date , time expired, they don’t seem to realise people don’t give a toss after 13years of lies and pissing money everywhere.
So Black Friday ($816mn) then Cyber Monday ($1,25bn) & now the greatest online day in the world ever the UK’s Walkout Wednesday.
Perhaps the 1 day strike could be renamed labour day or simply bank holiday and then the poor sods who carry on working can pay for their day off
It’s only fair !
Beliefs!!
These fucking public sector workers haven’t got a fucking clue how their pension work. Some dozy bitch on Sky earlier – ‘a colleague worked for 40 years in the public services and came out with a pension of £56 a week’
Well, all I can say, is she was either not paying into a pension for 40 years, retired about 25 years ago or was working for below the minimum wage when she retired or the speaker is a FUCKING liar.
Guido …. Send that pillock of a Judge your bill for expenses incurred in preparing for your ‘defence’. He did summon you, so the b*stard should foot the bill.
I will be billing leveson for the popcorn and nachos I bought in.
The small claims court is your friend Guido. I can’t remember if it’s 3K or 5K off the top of my head but Google will know.
Sorry cynic, did not see you had already posted that one, sane minds think alike.
Listening to Alastair Campbell deliver his opinions on the failings of the press was like listening to Gordon Brown condemning the irresponsible fiscal policies of Ireland and Greece over the past few years..
Pot , kettle , black .
Couldn’t organise a fuck in a brothel!
Or their hole in a barrel full of fannies
Found a hole in my trainer today. Put my finger right in it, but she wasn’t amused.

Well done Guido for reminding us what a mendacious Hunt Campbell is. It is extraordinary how he has become reinvented as part of the Great and the Good, wheeled out regularly on the BBC to pontificate from on high on all manner of things. This is the New Labour bully whose stock in trade was intimidation and manipulation of the media. He did the job so well that the country failed to spot, for many years, that his lord and master Tony Blair was no better than his servant. And this man is invited by Leveson to expatiate on the wrongdoing of the Press. What a joke! Keep up the good work Guido. Shame you can’t cross swords with m’Learned Friends tomorrow – some of us were looking forward to that.
Hear hear. Well done Guido. Perhaps you should try invoicing the Enquiry for your out-of-pocket expenses.
+1. Keep up the good work etc…
Hear Hear ! More power to your keyboard and mouse!
Well said. Surely the very fact that this man is regarded with respect by members of our Judiciary and treated as some kind of arbiter of public standards by our Parliament shows the depths to which our society has sunk.
Miliband on the Radio 4 clip being played:
“Some of these people (dinner ladies, cleaners and nurses are earlier mentioned) earn in a week* what the Chancellor spends on his annual skiing holiday.”
5 grand a week? – gisajob!
(* Presumably the twat meant ‘year’)
Ed has no idea about
a) money
b) ‘ordinary’ people
c) anything
RedEd does not have a clue. No real life experience.
That’s clearly Osbourne’s interpretation as well:
Rremember when Teachers, Policemen, Police staff,Ambulance staff, Nurses, Midwives, NHS admin workers, Doctors and Fireman crashed the stock market, wiped out Banks, took billions in bonuses and paid no tax?
No, me neither but clearly the Westminster wazzocks believe this and want all us to believe it to.
I remember when Teachers, policemen,police staff, ambulance staff, nurses, midwives,NHS admin workers,doctors and firemen stuffed their collective heads up their arses and re-elected the Government who created the conditions that lead to the credit crunch because said government bribed them into stupidity with money borrowed from our grandchildren. Only Labour wazzocks would believe anything else. Hence fuck-all support for the strikers outside the public sector tumour.
^^^^^
Wot he said.
Sexist
Leveson is proving to be a major public disappointment in his conduct of the inquiry.
You must be Robbie of the ‘No fuckin shit brigade’.
robbie,robbie,robbie,have you not realised by now that whoever the person appointed to chair this commitee would have been selected to ensure the resulting report would accord with the wishes of those appointing him.
Indeed. It’s the Mervyn King principle. If he hadn’t agreed to be BoE governor during the Brown Imbecility and just keep his gob shut while the jackass destroyed the Uk economy then they’d just have appointed the next in line and then he’d have got the KG instead of Merv.
On todays performance Its almost like Alastair Campbell has been cloned…..
Perhaps Guido could post his statement anonymously on Fatty-Watty’s blog?
So let’s see – Tom Watson MP posts Alistair Campbell’s draft evidence to Levinson on his blog highlighting what Campbell is going to say, especially about Cheri and the bump.
Order Order then reposts the same information on the basis it is now in the public domain. Campbell has a hissy fit at Order Order and Levinson ignores the original source of the on line information but blames Order Order instead and like some Peter Cook ‘Justice Cocklecarrot’ tries to lock up Guido simply because he is a nuisance to the establishment while deliberately misunderstanding his notes on players of the pink oboe…
Is it just me or is Campbell using this load of crock to try and discredit any Order Order submission to Levinson?
Nah, Campbell is as straight as a die, honest as the day is long …………
Guido posted first I believe, but thats irrelevant as Watson followed suit and then told leveson a cock and bull story about where he got it from , claiming he copied from guido. This story fell apart when it was realised guidos version was different from the one Watson posted as it contained redacted information which was visible in Watsons pisting, thus rendering his excuse as a lie.
Campbell tried some damage limitation by admitting at leveson that he, him, alistair fucking campbell was in fact the one who sent numerous drafts of his statement out to various people in advance of the enquiry including to Journalsts and friendly politicians.
It is now suspected that Watsons version came directly from Campbell.
Watson has been caught out again yet the inquiry does not seem interested in calling him before it to explain himself.
Guido has had his appearance cancelled no doubt to prevent further embarrasment to what is now taking on the form of a show trial.
I say this as someone who has no particular love of the press .
As it stands ihave no fith in this enquiry.
Why isn’t this on the BBC?
We are working on “Strictly Leveson” presented by John Barrowman .Catchphrase “What do leaks make, Formidible praise from the Judge”
++LOL++
Guido posted First. That however is not the point.
Cant work you out Guido (maybe a good thing), people that try and help, you push away but people that chuck abuse and smears are welcome?
#wonderswhatisgoingonsometimes
…under the terms of the Restriction Order Guido is not allowed to tell you what he was going to tell the judge in his Witness Statement…
It gets more like m’Alice in Wonderland every day. Perhaps Guido has a view whether Leveson as a result is now less likely to leave his brain in a bucket each morning as he pursues his
quarryenquiries.Wow. That sounds like one of those super-injunction thingies that rich c’lebs are so fond of to cover up shagging their tennis coach. Who’d have though an independent legal system would be complicit in taking one out to protect themselves.
Oh come on Guido – tell us, we need something to cheer us up with the euro heading down the never ending hole…
The Euro heading down the never-ending hole can’t happen soon enough for me.
Well done – I hope Leveson and Day apologise for what appeared to be threatening behaviour.
Still want to hear you as a witness. Still much to be said, is’nt there ?
Fuck it, email me the evidence and it will be published somewhere……
Can’t you claim copyright? I take it that after reading your statement they decided it was best you were silenced.
Exactly my thoughts too Little Person.
What beans did you have to spill Guido?
Sickening.
I was really looking forward to your appearance Guido.
Popcorn cancelled.
Surely your statement is yours?
Can the politburo really prevent you from publishing?
Get on a plane to Ireland & publish from there.
Go on, you know you want to.
Fact.
Suggest now that Guido:
1. restores the link
2. advises Lord Justice Lost-his-mind that he has done so
3. tell him it is not too late to change his mind but
4. Full costs will have to be reimbursed and
5. No dog-muzzling
Otherwise no deal.
It is still a fact.
Just watching Campbell’s evidence on-line now, what a shower. Levensen falling over himself to thank him for his extensive evidence submission that has quite obviously been passed around his labour chums to settle old scores. Shameless. He’s given free reign while Guido is shut out.
Once again, Campbell’s effin’ runnin’ the show.
Think you overstate there.
Everyone who watched alycampbell knew they were watching a practised liar, spinner and leaker.
I suspect leveson had a rude awakening and reaised, once alycampbell admitted bald faced, that he had leaked his own submission, that he’d made a gross error in letting alycampbell bully him on Sunday into calling Guido to give evidence. So hence the ‘invitation’ was withdrawn.
Egg on face. Damage done.
too true nell
So What !
Flashman !
Flailing Colostomy!
Not at all.
If Levison was upset about such a set-up he’d have torn Campbell a new one.
It’s a farce. A showtrial. A fucking pantomime.
‘Ooooh – I’m shocked…’
‘Oh no he isn’t’
‘Oh yes I am..’
A waste of time and money.
Leveson and Scambell are on the same side.
Agreed.
most here would enjoy watching watching Billy get stab/kicked to death, its not a left/right problem but a class problem, niether class are good at interacting with eachother.
If only i had a few million, how diiferent things would be.
You leave Bill alone. There are too few decent people in the world as it is.
Nell. Was looking over your shoulder when Billy gave tweet tips. Piece of cake and did a test run [15 secs after Billy on the last thread]

Well I can’t do it! Something to do with my google chrome. I’ve never claimed to be technical – I’m better at cooking!
Is it possible to email the Inquiry and state that you have no confidence in the manner in which it is being conducted?
Would I address such an observation to the old buffer in charge?

Just thought the comment needed padding, think, just like Campbell likes to pad things.
The one thing that stands out so far with the Leveson enquiry is how big a lying shit is Campbell. His and labour’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Campbell is scum.
Campbell is two faced, ly..ing barsteward that I would not pish on if he was on fire !!
Time to nuke the Ir…annnnians perhaps ??
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15966628
Has it dawned on Levity that Guido was about to tell truths that many do not want spoken publicly? Has Levity realised that people like Campbell and Watson are quite capable of manipulating the press or whoever else they see fit to, and willing to do so at the drop of a hat?
Some journalists behave like vultures. Some politicians and spin-doctors behave much worse. Levity may be starting to realise what a nest of vipers politics can be, and thus why a free press is so vital to hold them accountable to the people they (supposedly) serve.
Remember Kelly and the dark forces……
Far too smart for Levity to come to that conclusion.
I think someone whispered in his ear that Guido was about to make the whole proceedings look the total farce that it is.
Actually I think he has already done that!
I think you’re being a touch naive there. Leveson is long enough in the game to know what is expected of him hence using this legal construct to shut Guido off as he trundles off towards the inevitable conclusion agreed before the ‘enquiry’ ever started.
It’s not his fault. If he’d refused to do it they’d have simply destroyed his career and gone to the next ‘eminent judge’ on the list.
Levesons and Hattons are part of it, not victims.
So Guido why don’t you stand outside the court tomorrow where all the hacks are and give that mong Leveson both barrels?
As for AC, get cancer and die you c u n t
If only…
He will.
So Leveson is yet another establishment stooge. What filth.
Exactly…….
The way he brown nosed Campbell today was cringeworthy.
Well someone’s got to do it. I’m retired now you know.
Ed Miliband. What’s his position on the strikes? I can’t seem to make much sense of what he’s been saying.
He starts off waffling and just seems to get stuck in a sentence from which the escape keyword app#ars to be ONGOING
This rigged inquiry has become a total farce. Leveson has shown himself to be not only biased but also totally incompetent. How this tosser ever became eligible to preside over legal proceedings is beyond me.
It’s not just Leveson though. That four-eyed bearded idiot Q.C. that’s masquerading as Counsel for the Inquiry is just as bad, if not worse. He’s almost apologetic when questioning the various misfits, crooks and sleazebags that have made up the witness list, even though he’s been as easy on them as Stephanie Flanders would be on interviewing the two Eds.
This isn’t a judicial inquiry, it’s a fucking travesty!
+10
‘This isn’t a judicial inquiry’.
Oh yes it is.
This is exactly what a ‘judicial enquiry’ looks like.
A good lawyer never asks a question unless he knows what the answer will be and a government never holds an enquiry unless it knows exactly what the answer will be.
This is a typical judicial enquiry. Convened to find, independently and legally you understand, exactly whatever it was set up to ‘find’.
Kill Billy.
Come on A.Madrid!!!!!
This enquiry is a laughing stock and so nothing it might recommend is likely to be taken seriously.
Guido,
Surely you have some thoughts on the matters before the Leveson enquiry, that you’d like to share with your readers?
Of course, you wouldn’t want to leak your statement, no of course not, but your views, on the other hand, aren’t censored. And if your views happened to be remarkably similar to what you planned to tell Leveson, well that’s only to be expected isn’t it?
Go on. Guido, let it slip to a few journo friends. You can play them easily at their own game. If this is the level Leveson is operating at, we can forget anything of any note coming from it.
Campbell is a snake in the grass and should be being given a hard time, but that wont happen.
Why does Campbell still hold so much power? Remember this last ditch attempt to hold a coup against the wishes of the electorate?
Does this mean you’re no longer considered a witness?
If so, the Restriction Order no longer applies to your testimony.
It doesn’t anyway presumably because alycampbell’s ‘testimony’, if you can call it that, has now been given.
Publish it in Ireland, or are you rolling back nearly 100 years of history and the Irish are still under British jurisdiction.
Anyway, look on the bright side. You no longer need the family size pack of Vaseline.
Sure and begorrah, we work on Merkel’s Farm now, sorr… Guten Nacht…
Ewanme ‘outing’ herself would create more interest.
You’re not wrong yawner
Well Guido, I’ve been thinking about this, and I really think you should have – HWAAAA? no WAY….. Ewanme comin out??? fk…… how do you bookmark in Chrome
some say it would, others disagree.
Either way i am hated by all sides which means i may be doing something right.
Flaky logic – it’s just that you’re a total cun*t
you should reword that – ‘This World would be better off With Bill’
Or do you really want to go and leave it to the evil lying alycampbells.
Stay around and make a difference!
So, “Guido is not allowed to tell you what he was going to tell the judge in his Witness Statement tomorrow”
If the judge has not heard what you were going to say, how can he stop you saying it?
This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard, talk about la, la land.
The judge is as daft as a box of frogs.
This is indeed bizare, I can understand leveson restricting a statemts contents being published before it is heard by the inquiry but I cannot see under what authority he can silence someone from providing information which the inquiry no longet wishes to hear. Im not a Lawyer but could any legal pease clarify this.
If you blog it Guido, we promise-a-la-Campbell not to look.
Do you know I think this is a real case of ‘ he who laughs last laughs longest’.
alycampbell thought he’d manipulated (bullied) the leveson inquiry on Sunday by forcing them to call Guido. Now he’s utterly discredited as a liar, spinner, leaker.
I suspect Guido will keep his powder dry and wait for a suitable time to bring out the crosshairs.
But the BBC is still reporting that Campbell’s written evidence was leaked by a blogger.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15959391
If I relied on the BBC for accurate up-to-date information about anything – eurozone crisis, climate change, the Leveson Inquiry – I would know nothing.
And there you have it. A few political obsessives here know that the ‘enquiry’ is a farce but the BBC is still emphasising the ‘What a bastard that Murdoch is eh – he supports the T*ries you know – had to shut his paper down you know – can’t be trusted’ angle to the other 60 million folk on the island.
So Guido has no right of reply?
Censorship is democracy at work, as long as you agree with one side of the political establishment and the BBC.
This site censors comments that doesn’t suit it.
Oh no, it DOES!
Oh yes it doesn’t
oh did he would do.
It’s behind you.
Well it has come around to the Pantomime season once again (did it ever leave?) and plenty of parts are up for grabs;
The widow twankey,
esmerelda the cow
Jack with his bean stalk
the pumpkin, and the old woman that lived in a shoe.
I don’t care about this privately funded blog, but I do care about a publicly funded broadcaster with huge global influence who should give a balanced political view of every argument.
In the same way that they covered the so-called national strike today – when “up to” 2m public sector workers downed tools, and the remaining 58m just got on with life, determined not to allow the union wreckers their moment of glory…
So they downed tools, did they ? Now we know what they usually do all day.
I have only ever had one comment deleted, and that was about Piers Ploughman and his unhealthy interest in beet futures.
I suppose it marched a little over the line…
Go, tell us what you said so we know where the line is.
no win, no fee
Of course it wouldn’t – don’t be silly!
Thanks for Queen
There’s nobody could sing like him!
Bill if you’re feeling down read this article criticising alycampbell. This is what it means to make real enemies. I wonder how alycampbell feels about that? You, you must remember onn the other are much liked. Something alycampbell is never going to experience.

Nice spelling of Campbell in the headline pic; I detect the drunken hand of Neo.
From russia?
From Russia – with grog.
I do think Guido is being disingenuous here. As he, and presumably the rest of you, know quite well, it was about Guido’s late response and request for public funding. Neither could be sorted out before tomorrow so the appearance was cancelled for the moment.
The Witness Statement was submitted on time, as an aside the lawyer asked for funding on the same terms as every other witness. We’re ready to roll.
‘As an aside..’
First, last and only think in a lawyers head in my experience. They don’t give a rat’s ass if they win, lose or draw as long as they get paid.
Get back to the bottle Campbell, you nauseating little shit. And what does ‘cancelled for the moment’ mean, eh? Is the word you are groping for ‘postponed’ by any chance, you illiterate thug.
Surely Guido can publish a ‘similar’ observation after the inquiry has closed.
Guido _ I have had an orgasm reading about WMD campbell’s exposure for what he is, I love you and want to have a baby by you.
Woah… steady on there…. I am just having dinner !!
He went on to say that on the other hand it has been a huge success and has saved shed loads of cash that would have been paid to the public sector strikers and we are now thinking of making it compulsory for ALL civil servants (and particularly the uncivil ones) to have one day a week off, EVERY WEEK.
This will save 20% of the shirkers salaries and clear the national deficit in a fortnight.
A spokesperson for the Unions and Labour party said “oh bollocks”.
Strike? ‘as there been a strike?? never noticed
Thousands of people who don’t work haven’t been to work today and you didn’t notice.
You just shut your face billybob.
I’m a diversity awareness co-ordinator and I do a real important job.
I can’t be arsed to contribute no more to my big pension, why should I, when you private sector tossers can do it for me like.
And don’t give me no “I didn’t notice the strike”, because u must have – I wasn’t co-ordinating diversity and you must have noticed that because it’s important work like innit.
Pay up. I want your money.

When I do that the only option it gives me is to ‘copy link address’ Then when I paste it here all I get is a text thread. Has to be something to do with my server – it’s probably as ancient and out of date as me!!
Anyway I’m going to try to change my server over the weekend when I’ve got a bit of time to myself – and we’ll see then if that helps.
Well of course I don’t mean server do I? I mean operating system I think!!
I hope you mean browser

You write “alcoholic” like it’s a bad thing. And anyway, given who he was working for, alcoholism is entirely understandabubble.
I suspect his alcoholism was more to do with self loathing for what he is than who he worked for.
I think the two most eveil things he ever did were to hound d r d a v i d k e l l y to his death and to write wicked lies about wmd in that sexed up dossier that took us to war and killed thousands!!
Hundreds of thousands. I think the conservative estimate is 500,000.
God, he must be so proud of himself.
Do you think he got mixed up with that old joke that “road accidents with ice cream vans are rare but when they happen hundreds of thousands are involved.
The figure of half a billion was taken to involve dividing GDP of 1.5 trillion by 300 working days and taking a 10% ratio.
Don’t worry. I imagine that he does.
Lord Leveson: Thankyou. I am most grateful for your appearance here today and for your invaluable evidence from someone representative of the broadcasting side of the media. Just before you go I would like to tentatively enquire whether you would be prepared to answer a question of my own which would, I think, help me to understand the wider aspects of your evidence. There is no obligation to answer this question so you can say if you would rather not reply.
Ms Diamond (apprehensively): If I can help, my Lord, I will.
Lord Leveson: As I said, there is no need to answer this question if you do not feel inclined but it would be helpful if you could. The question I would like to put (ahem) is whether you have ever felt the urge to write articles for the tabloid press.
Ms. Diamond: Well I have from time to time done so, according, obviously, to the best codes of practice.
Lord Leveson: So the article in the ‘Daily ****’ headlined (ahem): ‘Fatty French Finally Falls For Fitter Figure’ was written in accordance with those codes of practice?
Ms. Diamond: The headlines were nothing to do with me. I was invited to write a piece about Ms French and her astonishing reduction in weight. I am a great fan and I wrote a very supportive article from the view point of someone who also had a very real weight problem.
Lord Leveson: That was clearly in the public interest?
Ms. Diamond: Every woman will relate to the problems Ms French faced in the aftermath of her personal predicaments which had nothing to do with her public persona.
Lord Leveson: I am much obliged. There are no more questions. I think we could all adjourn now for a nice cup of tea.
Court Usher: All rise!

Can You Help?
The Inquiry would welcome submissions from the press, the public and other interested parties on the issues that emerged from three seminars held in October 2011.
To help this process, the Inquiry has set out some Key Questions (PDF, 12.7kb).
Please send any representations to generalenquiries @levesoninquiry.org.uk
Deadline for submissions is end November 2011.
Better courier it Guido!
Ooh, get them! Capitalising “Inquiry” and “Key Questions” like they’re really important.
Interesting Guido ! why on earth does lord Levenson think you are not part of the world in posting leaks , or have anything to say on world of mps and press ? very odd .
Slightly disappointed today , after spending some time chasing down labour/huhnes Carbon Capture Project and enjoyed a pint when it got rummbled as impossibly expensive (let alone using loads of energy and toxic chemicals) Ive just found on news , smaller one at power station near Hull has been switched on today at a cool £26mn , cited as full scale test plant , I feel cheated , but someone will start some proper data , I have no idea where CO2 is going , bloody long pipe line to north sea .I have always wondered what they do when scrubber doesnt work , do they turn off power station ??
wonder if I should be happy Banks are moving to a refinance package ? must mean they have settled on way on everyone taxes paying for europes debts , at least I think its a win win situation , just dont feel the theft .
They’re squirting the CO2 down an old oil well. With luck, it’ll stay there for a bit.
If you see bubbles rising in the North Sea, take steps. Preferably large ones – and preferably inland.
It’s only Neptune farting!
The farts that sunk a thousand ships.
There’s a theory, one of the ones that tries to give a practical explanation for ships vanishing in the Bermuda Triangle. This is that a reservoir of methane hydrates — methane and water frozen together into ice — under the ocean floor partially melts from time to time, releasing a burst of gas that turns the ocean above it into a foam. The foam is lighter than water, so a ship on its surface sinks instantly, without warning or time to send a Mayday call.
If ships start disappearing in the North Sea, we shall know that something similar is going on.

If what they are squirting down said ye old oil well , is not free of scrubber solvent (very nasty stuff) , I want it stopped and huhne sued for ignoring risks of technology despite numerous unanaswered questions and requests for some energy efficency calculations .
Those amines aren’t very nasty, and in any case they wouldn’t want to waste too much of them down the well.
I’m more pissed off that this sort of crap is being promoted as ‘green’, when it’s a great way to make your power plant 25% less efficient.
Huhne was on “Hardtalk” on BBC World Service yesterday and today. He mentioned this smaller plant, but I did not recognise that he was speaking the truth because his lips were moving.
He blustered a bit and had quite a lot of tractor production figures to hand, but what most impressed me was the fact that he didn’t lean over, grab Sarah Montague by the neck and fucking well throttle the useless cow !
Hypocrisy Cambell is thy name.
My alter ego Gordon the Moron is currently in the commons, for a radiation debate. He is surrounded by a large Labour sycophants. Discussing that his t urds glow in the dark are not of any interest to any sane person except labour.
I’m in the process of tabling my motions.
i hope the radiation kills the flies.
Gordon who? Oh, that Jock Mong who screwed up the country but provided us with such laughs. Is he still around? Thought he had resigned to do something important.
Anyone here bought Olympics equestrian cross-country day tickets? You might want to check the terms and conditions. LOCOG appears to have sold too many – about four times too many.

Hold up streaky,
Was Campbell really moaning about islamaphobia in right wing rags after all he did to stir that shit up with the bullshit dossier, the following invasion, and the subsequent (or resulting) London bombings?
Fucking incredulous!
If people of certain pursuasion are islamaphobic, and if certain rags look to express that in print, they need only look to the propaganda machine that he once helmed.
And in any case, what’s it to do with Levenson? It’s still a free country, isn’t it?
Guido, all you need to do is publish a document entitled, “What I could have said but didn’t and maybe wouldn’t have had becuase I respect Lord leveson so much”. It is surely not contempt to write about things you would not have said in court.
Indeed, just like the super-injunctions.
Yeah just do a re-draft and circulate it to us all for some feedback. Afterall we are all friends.
Naaah. Just claim your submission to Leveson was just a ‘draft’, change a couple of words and publish the finished version.
Alternatively, that version you sent me yesterday for comment/amendment like Alki Campbell before you agreed not to make your present version public might accidentally get published or forwarded to interested parties by my kids – the little scamps.
“Guido is not allowed to tell you what he was going to tell the judge in his Witness Statement”
Be brave.
+10
How dare a public servant (repeat: public servant) tell us what we can and cannot say.
The next step – and we’re just about there – is they’ll tell us what we can and cannot think.
Now whilst Guido’s here to give us a forum to express our anarchic views!
so the basic story is , you bottled it twice in a few days Guido?
If the 17th century Guido had been *this* Guido, it would have been, “ooh, no, we can’t go into Parliament’s cellars, not with all those barrels of gunpowder. Think of the noise. What if we trip up or something? Ooh, what if we’re caught? And any way it’s probably full of spiders. Let’s just write a letter and tell the king what we think of him. But we’d better check first that what we write is OK with him in case we upset him a bit. Let’s discuss it first. Let’s not. Pub?”
I doubt that. I suspect that several people have a great deal to lose if GF speaks the truth about them. In amongst the spite and revenge seeking is the fact that Watson and Campbell were on opposite sides of a vicious war for several years, fought in close quarters and under great pressure.
The last time I saw anything as odious as all this, I was a small kid watching a caravan site cess tank rupture. A huge collection of rancid turds fighting desperately to be the last one in the tank.
I can’t believe no one has picked up on the scandalous moment at PMQs today when Ed Miliband did a Blinky and said “So what?” when Cameron said the coalition had taken children out of poverty and introduced free nursery education for 2, 3 and 4 years olds. Miliwank should be made to answer about this.
Video coming up in a few minutes.
He also said, ‘Osborne spends more on his skiing holiday then dinner ladies earn in a day.’ What a dick!
Public sector workers are both paid better and enjoy more generous pensions than their private sector equivalents, said leading independent think-tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Best not take the dog out to the woods for a few weeks until things calm down a bit.
Isn’t it weird, the way a small cut to a minor artery (which would ordinarily clog but for some reason didn’t) can cause you to bleed to death in such a way that there’s no blood – and I mean, none – and when people find you they think you’re still alive because there’s no blood around you, even though you bled to death.
Spooky.
Why has the dog been ill?.
Fenton! Fenton!!! Fenton!!!! J*sus Ch**st, FENTON!!!!!!!!!
So when is the leveson shambles expected to come to an end?
And how much will its worthless conclusions have cost us when it does?
Come on Guido let us know what you know about Tom Watson
the collusion and corruption continues
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/leveson-inquiry/8926613/Leveson-Inquiry-British-press-is-frankly-putrid-Alastair-Campbell-claims.html
who the fucking hell does campbell think he is??? he’s the name of a crooked clan and he’s living up to expectations
Fact is Guido bottled it, not once but twice, Now Guido what was that other day about the freedom of the press and internet?
Let us ask ourselves a question, here:
Do you have a more successful business than Guido or is his more successful than yours?
If you can even begin to understand this concept, then you might conclude that Guido has been rather brave in taking this to the wire when it might have adversely affected his livelihood.
Nope simple fact.
Leveson has now stopped Guido from publishing the truth on two days (campbells and his own) .
Leveson won.
I understand where you are coming from. But if you think this is the end, then you may be rudely awakened. It is not even the beginning of the end. It is not even the end of the beginning.
i reckons Guido has moved into different circles and is now above what he started out to be against.
You are entitled to think that. I happen to disagree.
Now that I am out of the country, I can afford to take “risks” that I could never have entertained when in it. Never criticise anyone for looking after their own, and their family’s position first.
Leveson won?
By taking the ball home and shriking to his mam?
Like fuck he won – he just made himself and his inquiry look foolish.
Just calm down dear, think the man has been a good boy and played the game in a nice way, things can change quite quickly and can still give the establishment/Liebour/Gridiron/big L, major heart palpitations, lets hear what others have to say, it ain’t over until it’s over and these lawyers will make it last.
Fuck me, unions complaining about tax! Well I never, whatever next?
Income tax is a tax on workers, but I don’t remember Unison whining when Brown doubled (from 10% to 20%) the rate of income tax for the poorest workers.
Well he’s right there. It’s a tax on the private sector working class to fork out for goldplated endsalary pensions to the unworthy public sector that the private sector have no chance of ever matching.
Yes, but the important thing to remember, nell, is the public sector ‘workers’ don’t want to contribute towards their own pensions. So obviously, everyone else should be more than happy to cough-up on their behalf. I mean, why wouldn’t we be overjoyed with this expectation?
I don’t know about you, but I personally long to have my wages taken away from me and paid into a public-sector workers’ pension scheme, so they can have a pension I can’t afford.
Whilst the public sector workers don’t make any extra contribution.
Come on, don’t be selfish nell.
Retiring at 60 on a goldplated endsalary public sector pension eh Tess?
Bit like hoping to win the lottery isn’t it?
Night sweetie. Really must go to bed now if I’m going to wake up at 6.30am.
Night night.
Think of the teacher (public sector parasite state school teacher) who wrote a letter to the Times this week, saying she was “tired” and “due to retire” because she’d “worked hard” and teaching was “a young man’s game”.
She was 40.
Nice article from Emily Nomates. Comments were off unfortunately. If you see this, kudos. And don’t worry. I will defend you from Mad Frankie…
I wonder what alycampbell’s thinking tonight about his performance before leveson?
Is he thinking – OMG wasn’t I good – I made myself look absolutely sincere honest and convincing – he must have believed every word I said.
++++laugh++++
or is he saying – Oh ‘sugar’ – I looked such a liar – nobody is going to believe a word I said……
Hopefully he’s swallowing a cup-load of Eskalith tablets, washing them down with a bottle of vodka.
Whilst thinking of all the Iraqi children he had killed.
Well I follow your gist but do you know I hope he and bliar and gordon and their backstabbing crew hang around for lots of years as we all get older.
I’d really like to look at their pathetic, self justifying, ageing carcasses through the eyes of my aged wisdom and see if I despise them as much as I do now. I suspect I will!!
Hmm. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life sharing this planet with Campbell. I want him buried in it, or scattered over it.
If he knew what he looks like – really knew – he would kill himself
Well, its almost as if the Leveson inquiry doesnt want to find out the truth isnt it? You might well think that the Leveson inquiry is simply a rigged stitch up whitewash to finger a certain MSM target. The establishment had plenty of practice with the climategate whitewashes.
Campbell and Twatson and the Guardian and the BBC and Leveson, they know who the enemy is and they have all the ‘evidence’ they need. Plus a string of desperate B list faders up for a little face time of course. It helps to have a tear jerker tale teller on board to tug those heart strings, real evidence? They dont need no steekin evidence! Actually that scumbag with the pie was a brilliant poster boy for the inquiry, that is what this inquiry is really all about and at the end of it the press will be gagged except for the state approved organs.
Leveson had his conclusions handed to him before he sat down for the 1st day didnt he? In comes Twatson on his anti Murdoch jihad leaking titbits to his BBC and guardian friends. Its a show trial, and show trials dont like the script changing, cannot handle their set piece theatre being upset. Campbell and Twatson? Well, they just made an honest mistake didnt they? Happens all the time, doesnt everyone perjure themselves, deliberately mislead and lie to a legal inquiry every day? Happens to me every day.
Oh well said!!
+2
No, I don’t remember that ever happening.
Guido, send me your draft submission for a look … I promise not to leak it! Leveson won’t mind, honest!
As I said yesterday, Leveson cannot write a balanced report if he prosecutes the witnesses. It is he who has bottled it.
As for the confidentiality clause, this is normal for our legal system, and is regularly used to keep junior X-Factor contestants in line. It worked a lot better when the punishment was death.
Has red ed run into wall nose first?.
No. It was brain-first.
One of the most biased Newsnights I’ve ever seen the BBC really did pushed to boat out on this one.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b017skzh/Newsnight_29_11_2011/
Tarzan Hesseltine dealt quite well with the Italian American economics professor from Essex uni.
Overall this is less biased than the Toady Programme or World at One on radio 4.
But why are all the women so plain or just plain ugly.
I thought he did well and she was pretty buseless. At one point she froze for about 3 secs and I thought she’d lost it. Pre-freeze bullshit came back on line though.

Only the BBC could employ a Marxist-economist for their flagship financial/new program.
Having said that, he is quite good.
I’ll have you know we are impartial, independent and trustworthy.
Quite good? At what, disguising the political leanings in his reports?
Can he explain why Bolshevic communism failed? Or why China’s communism is now based upon medieval Europеan sufdom? Or why Cuba has fallen apart? Or why all the Afrcan communist nations have failed. Albania, Jugoslavia, South America.

Oh – I forgot – if you see William Hague sounding a bit Northern or his head looking a bit shiny then let us know too, cos that’s hilarious.
We’re an equal opportunities
Labour propoganda machineimpartial public broadcaster.Yes indeed we are impartial, independent and trustworthy.
Although we wont be discussing the Institute for Fiscal Studies findings that public sector workers are both paid better and enjoy more generous pensions than their private sector equivalents in our News programs tonight.
For ‘clever jokes’ read ‘snide political sniping on behalf of the BBC.’ Bit like the News Quiz really, except they are very happy to flaunt their socialist credentials (probably because they’re sitting in front of an audience of BBC employees.)
what does it feel like to be muzzled like assange gweedo?
who in the world can it be,
who leaked bad al’s testimony,
the judge looked around,
but naught could be found,
just like those damn WMD
Tremendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Campbell decided to leak stuff
And most of it turns out to be guff
But Guido says, “SCOOP”!
And laps up the poop.
I wonder just who’s calling whose bluff?
I’m confused. I want to sing a shit song about all this but I can’t work out who are the good guys.
Is Leveson a repressive mong or is he standing up for the people?
Is Campbell a twisted, corrupt, lying, hypocritical, alcie ponce, or is he a socialist hero?
Is Guido a running dog of imperialist capitalism, or just some guy with a popular blog?
Lawks-a-mighty, perhaps I’ll just stick to outdated marxist claptrap!
Yeah, just sing about the miners. That should do it.
Nobody listens to your songs any more, anyway.
Jeremy Clarkson caused outrage last night when he said striking public sector workers should be shot dead “in front of their families”.
He’s my man again.
I dare say the Guardian and Mirror will have a frothy mouthed wankfest over that tomorrow.
That’s terrible! Listen to yourself! The striking public sector workers should be “shot dead in front of their families”? What the f*ck??
Utterly utterly wrong and reprehensible.
Get it right; the *families* of striking public sector workers should be shot dead. In front of the striking public sector workers, who should then, after a lengthy period of trauma, be shot dead.
Stop fucking around and just gas that bastards, gezzzzus!
German efficiency is so.. sterile. It lacks a certain artistic flair.
Artistic flair you say well how about the guillotine eh, yes yes it’s very inefficient and bloody but it does have a certain… je ne sais quoi.
Mmm?
Maybe if they’d used strobe lights in amongst all the gas it would’ve been more avant-garde?
More ‘happening’.
Anyway – shouldn’t joke about killing public sector workers. Even if they do get paid to kill us.
Just fire the fuckers with extreme prejudice. A big fat DNR (Do Not Rehire) on their P45.
Byeeee – it’s been emotional. Good luck selling your unique talents in the big wide world out there.
The Nazis used the guillotine, too. Just ask Hans and Sophie Scholl.
Well, you can’t ask them, obviously.
Nope. It’s got to be “shoot the family” first, and then shoot the strikers. It’s the only way.
Can I be sick and possibly urinate on the bodies afterwards, please? It would seem rude not to…
I fully expect a plethora of faux, predictable outrage tomorrow.
It’s a free country, so why not?
I bet Clarkson gets “called in” to “discuss things” with the BBC board tomorrow, if he’s in the country.
At the very least, there’ll be a disapproving “statement”.
But the Beeb can’t do anything, because Clarkson’s their golden goose.
They daren’t. He makes them too much wonga and he knows where the bodies are buried.
Indeed, which just shows what complete hypocrites they really are. They would sack anyone else who was so repeatedly politically incorrect on the spot.
Tonight … on Guido Fawkes blog … I posted some words … without thinking through … the significance … of what I had said …
I want to apologise … to our host … to his
juniorcolleague, Neo … to all the honest people … (yes, including the trolls) …who post on here … to my family … my mother … my father … my brother and sisters … my beloved and beautiful Ewa , whose gorgeous arse I am not even fit to fondle … the wider listening world … the BBC … the Houses of Parliament … those wonderful judges who take such care in giving their clever decisions … and anyone else I may have regrettably left out.I am so … so … sorry … I have let you all down … Thank you Tessa for correcting my ghastly … and outrageous … mistake …

Good man.
Do the BBC know what Clarkson’s broadcasting or have they all knocked off by 4.00PM for dinner at the club?
Better keep quiet about the dissident Clarkson or he’ll be subjected to some Winston Smith re-education.
Serves them right for having him on live. The One Show, no less, with the presenters who weren’t good enough to get the job until Chiles and Bleakley fucked off to ITV.
I’m surprised he was as polite as he was.
Some say he thinks public sector workers should be shot dead in front of their families and that Adolph Hitler would’ve gas them, all we know is he’s called the Stig.
He made a mistake. He should have said: “striking public sector workers should be shot dead before their families, then their families should be shot as well.”
I think Dave got the PR wrong today. Don’t blame the workers,Blame the Unions for misleading them is what he should be doing.
Indeed.
Have to agree. Just as Labour?the Maximum Imbecile targeted the wicked banks rather than the several million fucking numpties who’d borrowed money they cannot pay back so we must not blame the poor union membership numpties for being used as cannon-fodder in the unions effort to overthrow the election result.
Yeah, yeah, so you got 11 million votes – but look – we have two million idiots who’ll do whatever we order them to do in order to fuck up your plans.
“up to” 2 million idiots. And let’s face it, it really was a damp squib. The unions fucked it up, royally.
Next time, they’ll be lucky to muster a quarter of that. Not least because Osborne can threaten to sack *another* 710,000 of them.
True. Dave will not win a single vote and will lose multiple votes by attacking dinner ladies, nurses and care workers (Ed always uses the emotional classes) but he could reap a bumper harvest if he insists and provides proof that the Unions are using and abusing them.
I’m not all that keen on dinner ladies, nurses and care workers, to be honest.
Not if they want me to pay their pension contributions for them, because they themselves can’t be arsed.
Well that is actually a very fair point Nell. But it seems that the battle lines are drawn around them as for some odd reason the public have been manipulated by all political parties into thinking all people who work in these sectors are Saints or potential saints.
So it turns out that the only effective public sector walk out came from the teachers.
That tells you ALL you need to know about today’s teachers
Bit of a bonus. The kids will learn more at home than they will in the state’s expensive day-care facility. Provided their parents give a shit.
which of course they don’t. which is why Labour can still get 28% of the vote even after destroying the UK economy.

What does it say? That the pay freeze and 1% pay rise is a bloody joke. The fucking Conservative party is paying dossers on benefits 5.2% and public sector a 1% pay rise! Who would have thought that ideological U turn was possible?
Our Fawkes ain’t arf been a naughty lad
He’s made that Inquiry look real bad
First they said that he had to appear
When he said he would, they turned all queer
“Just stay away. We don’t need your sort
And DON’T tell anyone what you thought!”
Much more of this and the lumpen masses
Might start to believe they’re silly asses!
Tonight’s Panorama was probably an indicator of ALL that is wrong within the BBC.
A young Russian girl has been going around shagging prominent Western defence officials/politicians, all of them very old married men. Then MI5 quite rightly decides to question this young girl and after questioning her MI5 thinks it is best to send her back to Russia.
In other times this would seem reasonable but The BBC thinks otherwise and they produce a panorama show to insist that the attractive young Russian girl is only shagging old lecherous western defence connected men because she is in love with them.
The BBC is a national disgrace and a laughing stock.
**CLAPS**

Agreed, it was discussing absolutely discussing I couldn’t believe what I was watching.
The bitch should have been deported. It is a fucking disgrace she hasn’t been.
Coming up on Newsnight is a report asking why the LSE allowed Saif Gaddafi to attend and they’ll be interviewing his former tutor!
Utterly and unashamedly off-topic, and apropos of nothing, but here is the Ed Miliband Union Puppy:

That is all.
“They’re all shouting in unison. Or maybe that should be they’re all shouting on behalf of Unison”.
Mark Serwotka vs Francis Maude on Newsnight now.
Could we please just bring this all back to me. Clearly I’m not blame. You might be, though. Have you ever considered that it might be all your fault?
Paxo giving Mark Serwotka a run for his money.
Mark is a chip off the old block. I would be proud to call him son.
Yes, he is just as big a troughing hypocrite as you are – calling yourself a socialist and living the high life on the back of real workers.
Mark Serwotka making an absolute twat of himself on Newsnight. Popcorntastic.
If you missed it, it’s worth a watch on iplayer. Serwotka called Maude a liar several times, Paxo said that was a serious allegation to make, Maude told Suckwotka to get off his high horse, Paxo told Suckwotka not to talk nonsense. It was good fun.
Ooh – a nice piece about the LSE on Newsnight!
I will enjoy this!
Is the LSE newspaper really called “The Beaver”?!
Lord Desai committing PR suicide live on TV by defending Saif Gaddafi.
Well there you have it. Lord Desai said Saif deserved his doctorate. Utter utter twat. What was even more disgusting was the clip of Saif talking to the LSE and cracking a joke about Libya being “in theory the greatest democracy” which they found hilarious. Laughing ABOUT a dictatorship WITH a member of that dictatorship. Classy.
THE LIEBOUR PARTY ESCHEW LEAKS AND PLANTS
Oh, and smears.
Discharging you from Attending.
more reason why you should attend.
Campbell and Watson played Leaveitout like an old fiddle.
Somewhat cruel, but leaveitout in the context of Leveson is now showing up as a Google search term. Sad.
Somewhat cruel, but leaveitout in the context of Leveson is now showing up as a Google search term. Oh, dear.
Happy World AIDS Day.
Hope George Michael’s “pneumonia” gets better soon.
With Campbell admitting He sent out lots of drafts to journo’s and politicians, how does this now stand up?…
(Tue Nov 29th – order-order.com – ‘Watson Apologises to Judge’)
“The Inquiry is satisfied that Mr Watson obtained his version of the statement from the Guido Fawkes website, rather than through other means.”
It’s been said before, but, as Guido’s statement was redacted and Watsons wasn’t, it’s now patently clear Watsons statement came from Campbell and not Guido.
The point here is, no logic on Earth can leave the legal inquiry ‘satisfied’ with Watsons ‘blame Guido’ apology. After Campbells statement, shouldn’t this taken further?
Watson, like Campbell, is a pathological liar. You’d have to be as thick as a Leveson to believe a word either of them said.
“Vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
alastair campbell is well read
Typical self promotion – you are making a big song and dance about this but what did you actually achieve by publishing the witness statement in advance? Where was the big revelation? What was the public interest? You are just a self publicist with nothing of real value to say. Maybe you are after a job with your beloved Murdoch with the amount of arse licking you have been doing for New International recently
He provided further proof that Watson and his little cabal of mafiosos are conspiring to co-ordinate their claims and allegations in order subvert this Mickey Mouse inquiry.
Been a Guido Fawkes fan but a big disappointment to hear him on R5 this morning. Important points to be made but he was more interested in getting in the completely unnecessary use of the word “blowjob” onto a show which is on while lots of kids are listening.
Just was not needed and gave them the excuse to cut the interview short. Kind of supports those who say he is all about self-publicing then about exposing hypocrisy.
Shame and disappointment
It was an own-goal because it just gave them the excuse to cut him off, which meant he couldn’t say whatever it was he was going to, which was a shame. A mistake to go on Radio Five Labour anyway – as if they were going to give him a fair hearing.
Well, there’s a thing.
Now, oddly, certain media who were wall-to-wall wailing have gone a bit quiet.
The same ones who could reasonably be fingered here:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100120354/for-the-last-time-there-are-no-net-spending-cuts/
‘Most people believe – because most journalists tell them – that public spending is falling sharply, that debt is being repaid and that this process, while possibly necessary, is jeopardising short-term growth. Every one of those propositions is false.’
Promoting false propositions? There should be, well, I don’t know… an enquiry?
yes for you Tommy ze war eez really over
corrupt politicians, corrupt legal system, treasonous bishops, hordes of work shy immigrants, pig ignorant” teachers”, idele “nurses”. national socialist union leaders laying down the law
you are officially all my puppets now
by the way muchas gracias to Edward Hesath, Tony Blair and anyone that went to University on the 60s and 70s for masking it so easy to crush you ziss time
From time to time, Guido, you impress me. This is one of those times. You have the establishment now terrified of you being allowed to stand up and give evidence! Bloody marvelous.
Leveson probably still has nightmares about being torn to shreds by Ken Dodd and baulked at the idea of suffering a similar fate at the hands of another legal amateur.
It does bring a smile to one’s face.
Campbell, one of the most devious hypocritical twats has the audacity to comment on journalists – unbelievable! The mere mention of this lying bastard coupled with the names Blair and Mandelson says it all.
Cock a snoot,
Publish and be damned.
Bugger Leveson and Campbell.
Metaphorically speaking of course.
