Document Reveals Miliband Blundered on PMQs Fares Flap
Mili-spinners are desperately clinging to the post-PMQs fallout over who was responsible for allowing train companies to increase fares so dramatically. Milband claimed that the government had reversed the cap on fares that Labour had conveniently introduced in an election year. However a document released by the Department of Transport blows that line out of the water. An agreement between the last government and a train company explicitly states that the limits were only valid for one year:
In other words it was Miliband who was in the wrong when he wailed that the Prime Minister was incorrect in saying “the power to [raise fares] was given by the last Labour government”. Another re-launch week success!
UPDATE: Labour spinners are desperately trying to shoot this down as a “legal technicality”. Adonis has now rushed out a statement saying it was his “intention” to keep the cap forever, despite signing the above document. If that so, how come it was not mentioned in Labour’s manifesto? Even if that was the case, Miliband was still misleading the House by suggesting that Cameron had “reversed” anything.
and we thought it was only Gordon that told porkies!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ED?
THIS IS NOT HELPING THOSE THAT SUPPORT YOU AT D.U.E.M.A
DUEMA really has its work cut out for it with Ed doing his level best to fuck up everything he touches. Seems like mission impossible to me!
Billy, please discontinue your support of DUEMA. Everybody knows that you are the only person in the UK that is a bigger Huhne that me – your support kills the campaign.
Luv
Ed No.1 (and that is not Ed Balls)
Billy
The previous article was a fake – please support DUEMA for all you are worth. We need to to be working to help Ed No.1 (it hurts be to type No.1 in that context).
Ed
Miliband minor is a clown, nothing more needs to be said
No, no, no! The biggest worry of the decent English middle class people is the hell of poor sat nav!
The people who make up Miliband’s team are cut from the same cloth as the liars and cheats as Labour has had running the party for the last couple of decades. We can’t rely on a thing they say.
Not only “cut from the same cloth ” they are the same cloth ! why the sheep in the PLP voted for these losers when they caused the problems we now face,in the first place i really dont know.
Obviously a ‘point of order’ should be raised requiring the leader of the opposition to apologise to the house for blatant lying or incompetence.
If members of the House are required to apologise for incompetence there will never be any time for legislation.
That’s a bad thing? There are far too many useless, nannying laws now as it is.
plus one
If RedED’s own research team is dropping him in the shit like this, then all the efforts of DUEMA will be in vain.
Who is sabbotaging our hero?
I smell Balls / Coopers hands all over this
Glad you think that
Milliband…The gift to the Tories that just keeps on giving………
Four questions about train fares all a waste as the basic premise was flawed to begin with. This combined with getting the facts wrong one has to asked is the fix in for poor Ed. No matter what he does he gets it wrong or perhaps the people supposedly supporting him or more like pulling his strings know his time is up. One thing for sure is the Labour front bench is completely unelectable – thank god.
Would DUEMA approve of Blincky to Ed Milliband
May be time to talk up blinky balls
So you don’t think train companies shouldn’t just charge what they like?
Are you attacking the answer because it wasn’t one to the question you just asked?
Cameron answered the question Special Ed asked.
You wish to deploy the usual lefty bollockovs of avoiding what is actually being discussed to what you would prefer to be discussed
I’m still in shock Cameron actually answered a question
He learned everything he knows for Blair and Brown. What would you expect?
Even more shocking that Dave obviously had prior knowledge of what question was going to be asked and had time to research the absolute belter of an answer. Ie the truth.
Shades of Toxic Ned briefing against Vacant Ned again.
I wonder how many more of these little time-bombs with one year/future expiry dates were planted by Labour before the election just so they could be exhumed when they’d quietly expired in an attempt to embarrass the new government.
Many a true word………….
Yep, Dave normally gets bogged down when asked a question of detail – he seemed pretty confident that his answer was correct.
The Maximum Imbecile was lauded by the bedwetters as a master of detail but his technique was very simple. Whatever question he was asked he would simply trot out some utterly unrelated but well-rehearsed statistic manufactured freshly by the ONS to suggest that borrowing 30bn quid during a consumer boom was rock-solid economics.
eg.
‘Mr Speaker, would the prime minister explain to us why North Staffs
death campHospital has killed 1,000 more patients than comparable hospitals over the last two year’‘M..m..m..Mr Speaker, I can report that this government has recruited umpty-dump more nurses and ‘invested’ rhubarb squillion more pounds than the last government in the NHS’.
Sits down to cheers from the Labour chimpanzees and his non sequitur is faithfully replayed on the BBC 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock news and reported as a ‘brilliant grasp of detail’ in the Grauniad.
Cameron should do the same.
Just answer any question with chapter and verse on the utterly fucked economy left by Labour/Brown/Balls and fire enough folk at the BBC until they start showing that in the 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock news.

Nah, Strikes me that Guido is taking sides in a fight between two seagulls over a floating turd.
Nah, Strikes me that Guido is taking sides in a fight between two seagulls over a floating “richard the third”.
Note that the “richard the third” here, is the idea that the government should decide pr_ces of what are supposed to be private companies.
Perhaps you might like to tell everyone just why train fares are rising so rapidly? It would not have anything to do with massively incre@sed energy costs related to green bollocks would it?
If you like I could blame that on brown and his massive devaluation of the pound?
It all comes back to Gordon.
The road to rack and ruin ALWAYS begins and ends with a Liebour government.
I agree train companies should charge what they like provided there is proper competition between a number of companies .
The only problem being that very few of them are British (now).
Then obviously come full circle and nationalise them again! Bingo, Eureka etc..
..We still have a problem.
Its still Ed
It’s not just Ed. None of the Labour front bench are any good.
I agree, can anybody tell me why the Squeaker allows Balls to practice his tourettes act whilst the PM is speaking ?
Ed Miliband and Katie Price’s gusset have one thing in common; they’ve both suffered enough now and should be left well alone.
What a pickle. No wonder Cameron looked so smarmy.
+1 and well said.
I will thet out my leaderthip credenthialth at my re-re-launch next week under the Hammerthmith flyover.

The comparison between Ed and IDS is starting to look very unfair on IDS
The unkindest cut of all. Deadman Stiff – the unthinking mans John Major.

Quality observation you poofter
Thith ith outwageouth, thith ith the kwenimologololoogy of politics. I sthudied politics at A-level, now ith’s my turn to be pwime ministher.
Over my dead body.
Will Ed be demanding Ed returns immediately to the HoC to apologise to the House for the error Ed made ? Even better perhaps Ed should demand Ed considers his position.
Thought not !
He did have slightly more success when he used to call for a spurious resignation every week.
I expect he avoided it this week because of the Abbott.
Back on for next week.
Labours refusal to sack Abbott shows that they are institutionaly racist.
Consider his postion? I wouldn’t be surprised if that was four-on-the-floor with a long line of Labour MPs, stripped below the waist, behind him.
Ooooo!!
….but I like you.
Plus, of course, Fox, Lilley…….
Looks like Militwats career has hit the buffers, he’ll have to find another platform to relaunch himself from. The cons are well chuffed and can see light at the end of the tunnel. This is a train wreck week for Ed, he’s on the wrong track, giving out the wrong signals and needs shunting from the leadership.
Leaf it out, it’s snow fun.His job is on the line
He’ll have to gauge the mood of the country, come the election he could get a rail freight!
Labour needed Standard; they got OO.
He’s come off the rails due to his points being reversed.
So the son of Brown, Ed Miliband, is also a proven liar. That’s three labour leaders on the trot that are liars. I spot a pattern.
They’re all shit?
Reminds me of ‘Bedazzled’ with Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore. Each time the devil grants the wish of the chosen one, and when they are annoited they discover their wish was badly worded and they have unfortunate character traits that condemn them to opposition and galloping madness. Who next? That D-ream hit was a decade or so early.
Had a feeling Cameron was telling the truth.
A phrase on a par with “the feminine appeal of Margaret Beckett” in terms of probability.
Lying? It’s what we do best!
To be fair, Labour are pretty good at looting, cronyism, waste and ruination too.
Given the common ground a merger with UKIP may be in order.
The Guardian quoting the revered paper of record says that Milliband is correct. So there!
Only gurners believe the Gurneyaid
He is a socialist, ergo, he is a liar…
He should just do what I did. Have a relaunch every three weeks. Worked wonders for me.
Oh, hold on, no it didn’t.
Who’d like to give me a full body massage?
Only if you attend to my dry rot
In massage timescales that’d be like painting the Forth Road Bridge.
I’ve been massaged enough lately thank you.
I knew that cricket pitch roller would come in handy.
Any info about this on the BBC. I’ve been looking but can’t find anything. Why I wonder.
We will be down on theTory led coalition if bulingdon boy Cameron is wrong, if not . . . Cut’s is what we will go with.
Could be that the public find PMQs as interesting and relevant as a Stoke City football match.
BBC Video headline “Cameron should get his facts right on rail fares.
Unbiast? my arse.
This guy is a walking disaster, long may it continue……….
Miliband just stormed through my office, he’s looked like a badly drawn face on a wrinkled bollock.
And you should know!!
Anyone notice how surprisingly quiet Blinky was at pmqs today? I think Cameron was quite clever with his Tourettes comment. He knew there’d be some criticism and he’d have to apologise for it but it was worth it because he also knew it would actually embarrass Blinky into shutting up. Good move, Dave.
Quietly savouring the hazing that Vacant Ned got as a result of Cameron obviously having the inside track (no pun intended) on Vacant Ned’s line of questioning.
How could Cameron possibly be so well informed?
What a surprise.
Balls leaked it to Dave so he can have another crack at leadership
That would be my suspicion. And it’ll be Vacant Ned’s suspicion too.
Now he knows how Blair felt with the likes of Brown and Balls in the background. The paranoia will eat him alive. It’ll be like a cancer gnawing at his thought. Look how Blair ended up. And Brown.
And Balls will go the same way too.
Fantastic.
Paranoid and insane.
Fucking excellent. Just as long as we can keep the paranoid, insane fuckers away from the economic levers this time unlike the Labour Imbecility of 1997 – 2010.
Yep. That quick response to the first question was just too rapid. Mili has a leaker in the camp.
Socialists are invariably pro-state.
I suspect that Bercow has been told to censure Ballsache next time he barracks at PMQs. So, ‘cos he’s become such a labour supporter he warned Ballsache off air so as not to embarrass him publicly in the chamber.
wah wah bungo bongo
Labour: Vote for us or we’ll kill you like we did Dr K e l ly.
It was painful to watch Milliband pursue his line while sensing that it was all going to rebound upon him
I notice Ed’s been doing a Blair imitation recently with his mannerisms and vocal tics. How long before he starts to say “What is important is”?
Or
“I say to you”
“let me just say this”
“Now look”
F ucking knob sucking liar
I believe there has been a re shuffle of the numskulls controlling Eds actions. The one previously controlling those aggresive hand movements is off sick with exhaustion. A new numskull has replaced him and he has been briefed on the Blair mannerisms.
Tony’s image men.
Nearly Shadow leader..Its coming..
Just put your left hand in front of your waist..That’s right, but at a right angle..thumb tucked in..so its like a spear..that’s right..palm inwards though..Good!
And now “What is …{pause and count.. one..two, three, four..and then ..}…important is.”
Very good shadow leader! But do the pause counting in your head..not out loud, ok?

I reckon Ed has one of those cocks that bend to the side
In his case the left
What a fucking tosser
He really couldnt find his own arse with both hands
The only person on earth more socialy inept than McMental
I almost feel sorry for him
Other than the fact that he adds to the gaity of the country I feel that he should have that huge tongue ripped out, be broken on a wheel and then burnt alive

Don’t tell me – you are a Labour voter ?
Bring it on!
Listening to labour MPs on BBC Parliament. They are hypocritical, shits and liars.
No change there then.
Hypocrisy and Mendacity – it’s in Liebour’s D-N-A.
Why include the word Labour in the sentence. It is just as true without it.
Because Labour are the worst, by far, of a terrible gang of shysters called politicians?
Does anyone give a damn what I think?
HS2 is gonna blow your wheels Ivor
Oh hell. Liam has misunderstood this message and is off looking for HS2.
Keep up the good work Red Ed.
Well done for taking it easy CCHQ
D’you think Ed gets back to his office, sits down and says to his aides ‘Well I think that went rather well’ and they just give him that look….incredulity tinged with desperation……
Militwit got bang to rights…will he be coming back to the Despatch Box to apologise for misleading the House ? Thought Not !! But then again when you’ve told so many downright fables what’s anoth one ?
He probably rings up mummy and says, “did you see me at Prime Minister’s questions mumsey? I jolly well told that beastly Camoron, didn’t I mummy”
I imagine it’s more a look of incredulity mixed with contempt.
The kind of look Cameron gives him.
No I think he just sits alone and cries whilst his brother sits in his office laughing his cock off

This is not a moderation issue, sir:
All passengers on this blog are reminded that the bar is always open and should be utilised at every available opportunity.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The latest Ed relaunch at the OXO building was very apt: Like Brown and thick all in one go!
You’ve just reminded me of another reason why HS2 is shit.
Three quarters of an hour less time to get pissed if you have to go to Birmingham? Bollocks to that – I’ll take the stopping train with a bottle of gin and plenty of tonic. That way I might not notice how shit Birmingham is compared to 20-odd years ago.
It was shit enough 20 years ago. I know because I grew up there. It was shit 30 years ago too.
My brother still lives there so I go up there about once a year to visit. He’s in one of the few remaining white enclaves but I’ve not been into the centre for about five years. The new residents were stopping and pointing at the only white man (me) when I did.
My fwend Ed wath fantathtic. Death to all Geogwaphy teachers!
Your ‘fwiend’ was shit. We’ve come to expect nothing less. D.U.E.M,A.
Please pass on these corduroy elbow-patches to my next of kin. Many thanks.
Is he being unpicked internally? What kind of organisation sends their head out to ill equipt and wrong at such a bad time. There are thousands of questions he could and should have asked but instead he pulled this turkey and bored the public by harping on about it.
We need a proper opposition – not a bunch of labour propped morons who shout for no reason.
regardless of special Ed incompetence and all associated lefty failing the primes cause of our economic woes is, and remains, that fruitcake Brown
It’s hard to separate the failings of Brown from the failings of Blair. Brown, as we can all see was and remains a fucking lunatic. But Blair was in a position to fire him for ten or more years and failed to do so. Just as Brown was in a position to get rid of Blair over the Iraq war. If he’d walked out when Robin Cook walked out that would have finished Blair and saved us the Iraq war debacle into the bargain.
Nope. They are all as guilty as each other.
Brown did not act alone. There were 400+ Labour MPs who could have gone public about how insane he (Brown) was. But not one of them had the balls to go public. They are all guilty men.
It is an absolute travesty and an indictment of the UK that there is a single Labour MP left alive let alone re-elected. The fuckers should all be shot for economic treason.
Every single one of them.
To be fair rather than shoot them all they could spare some of the wimin to provide sandwiches etc
They would then all claim postumously for the price of the bullet
By MOD standards that would be £50,000 a round
I think that we should just shoot all of them with an airgun
Maybe one hundred times
and some guilty women too ( eg Jack Dromedry)
Is he the one who was designed by a committee?
JGM – I could not have put it any better.
I wonder if the Parliamentary fees or accounts people can rule that MPs and Lords will not be able to reclaim the higher cost of travelling on HS2 on their expenses? They might not be as enthusiastic if they have to pay out of their own pockets.
They will all have to wait for at least 20 years for a train anyway, Bing!, Bong!, the Birmingham express is now expected to arrive on platform three in 2032, we apologise for the delay due to ancient woodland protesters on the line.
Ancient protestors. Are we back to discussing UKIP?
There clearly isn’t enough cynicism in the world.
When HS2 is running, do you really think there will be cheaper services competing with it? (e.g. taking 20-30 minutes more on Bham to london).
But seriously folks, the msm are all dissing HS2 by talking about huge cost for saving 15 minutes journey time, this is disingenuous, it’s about capacity, we need modern transport infrastructure and it needs to extend to at least Leeds and Manchester, put some money into the rest of the country for once, multi billions poured into London all the time as if nowhere else matters.
All that capacity is needed because everyone has to go to london to make money. Thats to do with media, power, and investment.
I really don’t know how to make it happen again by the way – but all sorts of parts of the UK used to do money making stuff.
Don’t you think that having an efficient modern rail transport link between Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds might just redress the balance somewhat then?, all roads do not need to lead to London.
but HS2 does. as does HS1.
No. Not at all.
And I’m a time served member of the “going to london by train” club.
Its a very expensive and odd answer, if the question was:
“how can we get more companies making more real money oustide london?”
The existing link was built in the 1830s by Private subscription. If there is a business case to build H2B then private funds can pay for it. The Government just need to allow it to happen.
There is no need for tax payer money to be used
Let me see; Cameron wants to spend £17billion on HS2 to solve the current problem of overcrowding by increasing capacity in ~ 15 years time – brilliant. By all means spend the money but on longer trains, extension of platforms, driver-less trains. modern signalling etc .Work could start tomorrow and start to improve capacity in 18 months.
“But seriously folks, the msm are all dissing HS2 by talking about huge cost for saving 15 minutes journey time, this is disingenuous, it’s about capacity, we need modern transport infrastructure and it needs to extend to at least Leeds and Manchester, put some money into the rest of the country for once, multi billions poured into London all the time as if nowhere else matters.”
That’s a bit like saying that Concorde was built to reduce congestion on the Transatlantic routes.
Concorde was solely an elitist playtoy, subsidised by the poor so that millionaires could get to and from New York faster than the plebs they bled white.
HS2 will be the elitist rail version, subsidised to infinity by the poor, or sold of to some crony corporation for pennies in the pound and at a fraction of it’s cost to taxpayers.
Well you did not need to reproduce my post in full, but that was precisely what I was not saying, Concorde?.
Wonder what the Ed Mili equivalent of throwing a nokia against a wall is, a prolonged gurning session?.

Brown was seen at football match on Saturday and yes you guessed it his team LOST. What a complete and utter tosser of a man.
Son of Brown!
As much as people might laugh at him, he is a deranged leftwinger and I’ll be glad when he is forced out.
You won’t be when you see who they’ll replace him with. Yvette and Tourette Balls.
Don’t worry about it, the Queen would never let it happen. If those two hasbeens turned up at Buck Hse moaning on about setting up a government Her Maj would set the corgies on them, rip them asunder and all that.
You reckon? The time for Queenie exercising what little authority she has was when Brown stabbed Blair in the back and trotted off for his coronation.
That was when Queenie should have told the economy destroying lunatic to fuck off and come back with a grown-up.
Her Maj has vowed not to make the same mistake twice. Brown was payback to Blair for stiffin her over the Royal yacht. Brown was never going to last long, no with Scotland away that’s the end of the left, just relax and let’s sort out the EU.
Queenie Mandelbum do you mean?
Nah, she took part in the BLiar murder.
She didn’t stop me and Gordoom from ruining the Country’s finances, did she ?
Indeed. Although she did, rather pointedly, invite Mervyn King in for a little chat over Gordon’s head to find out what the fuck was going on when the balloon finally went up on Brown’s ‘economic miracle’.
maybe so but they won’t last either. both are so badly tainted with the curse of Broon thay have no chance.

“Cllr Wilson is already banned from voting at council meetings until February 15 after previous misdemeanours including being photographed in his mayoral chains at a health club and accepting three months’ free gym membership.”

Original Top Of The Pops theme tune unearthed from BBC vaults:
Will you be recycling the “and look out for Ed Miliband on bass” line, E?
Now if ZaNuLab had been in power they would have altered every copy of thatdocument which exists so that their lies would not be found out.
If a ZaNuLab c.nut opens his fat gob, only lies ever come out.
New Labour didn’t bother to destroy evidence – they simply controlled the evidence that was made available. Either slapped a D-notice on it or refused to reveal figures ‘for reasons of commercial sensitivity’ and so on and so forth.
It’s no use having damning evidence if nobody ever gets to hear about it. Which is where Murdoch and the BBC came in. And which is why Labour went so ballistic when Murdoch jumped ship.
jgm2: what did they do with B£iar’s expenses and how does he pay next to nothing in taxes ?
He pays next to no taxes because he has employed a tax specialist to ensure that he pays next to no taxes. His massive portfolio of incredibly expensive homes don’t maintain themselves you know. There’ll be essential running costs or ‘expenses’ that need to paid for out of his charity to maintain these properties. Them being essential for the work of his many charities and such.
The Maximum Imbecile will be pulling the same stunt. Paying cash tax-free into his ‘Charity’ where it will sit until such time as it’s needed to pay the directors of the charity suitable sums. And of course the running costs of his charitable house(s) and flat(s) will be enormous. And I dare say the director’s pension contributions swallow up an enormous amount of that tax-free charity money too.
Expensive business running a charity doncha know.
I thought that the Maximum Imbecile only sat on hs rocking horse or the very aptly named potty.
Either slapped a D-notice on it or refused to reveal figures ‘for reasons of commercial sensitivity’ and so on and so forth.
Or disparaged and rubbished the messenger. So D*vi*d K*ll*y was a ‘Walter Mitty’ type, ex-colleagues or MPs who resigned or made a fuss were merely ‘disaffected members whose careers had stalled’ etc etc.
Indeed, ‘everyone is to blame but me’ types.
It must be the case that Ed’s advisors are actually pursuing an agenda to get him out of the job. This relaunch has been so bad, it has to be deliberate.

Jeez, you must be hard up if you’d like to shag Caroline Flint! You must be kinky for baggy eyed, hatchet faced harridans with dyed black hair who look to be in need of a good wash.
I bet though, when she takes her teeth out , she can inflate a zeppelin.
Not nearly as much as I love myself.
In my view her resemblance to anal porn star Belladonna is more than coincidence. I’ve never seen them in the same room together, so make of that what you will.
One pair of sad bastards fighting another pair of sad bastards.
It would be funny if the power and control they were fighting over wielding wasn’t so great.
Why don’t I get a vote on whether Scotland should leave the Union. I am pretty sure that if all of England got a vote, then the wall would be put back up. If the vote goes the way I think it will, it could be followed by a short period of handover (that might take as long as the oil lasts) and then the Scots could adopt the Euro and all the other socialist policies that they seem to so desperately want.
But don’t socialists always run out of other people’s money ?
Ask Liam Byrne.
Bye bye Scotland I hope you get your wish, you’ll be happy and we will save money.
McBroon for President – after all he has the right experience and they deserve each other
There will be a huge English back-lash if the Little Scotlanders jump ship. I wouldn’t want to have a penny invested in RBS or HBOS or Scottish Widows or Fucking Scottish anything. Some smart marketing types will fucking well clean up fronting for English banks based in England.
There will be massive transfers of deposits, business accounts, pensions, ISAs, you name it out of Fucking Scotland. How very fucking dare you. You don’t want to be part of the UK? Fine – I’ll stick my money somewhere that does want to be part of the UK.
That slurping sound? That’ll be the sound of RBS and HBOS finally going down the plughole and taking the Scottish economy with it.
Heard a rumour that the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington is to carry out a referendum to seek indepence for her consituency from the UK.
Whatever next, ethnic cleansing for White residents.
Please don’t take this comment out of context.
By sheer coincidence, my TURDIS has just returned me from 1949. A fairly uneventful trip, I have to report: throngs of pale people knitting or polishing their prize vegetables; children choking on fresh air and Woodbines; road workers sitting in their tents waiting for that hole to dig itself.
I noted, however, how thoroughly jolly these poor people were with their lot: they appeared to own very little yet laughed at everything.
They were tired and hungry but seemed high on optimism. Above all, they were entirely confident and happy with who they were. They knew the future would bring change, and change was going to be kind to them. Many of them were fornicating in the streets, so confident were they in this New Dawn……
I had to leave them in their couplings to return the TURDIS to 2012 for it’s 300-year sevice at Dan Dan the Nissan Man’s emporium. Being a Time Lord can be such a drag sometimes ..
The Scots will end up like the Irish, the only difference will be who is holding the lead, they don’t want the English but will love being taken walkies by Rumpy Pumpy and his gang.
They’re going to get a real har landing when Shetlands and the Orkney Islands take issue with how they came to be under Scottish control and demand independence for their oil.
Won’t be our problem.
Shetlands and the Orkney Islands are very welcome to join us!
We have oil too with a great little economy that’s very safe, oh and by the way we’re not in the EU either.
Hei og velkommen
Shetland and the Orkneys used to belong to Norway until the Scots took possession of them in the 1400s.
Lerwick is nearer to Bergen than it is to Aberdeen, never mind Edinburgh.
What difference is it to them whether they are ruled by Edinburgh or London?
As I said in another thread, we should tow the “Midland Valley” (between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Southern Upland Fault) into the Atlantic.
We’d keep all the whisky, the farming communities of the border country and the scenery, and dump Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Cumbernauld, most of the whingers and most importantly, Gordon Brown, into the abyss.
At a push it might be worth sparing the bit north of Perth and Dundee – if you like raspberries.
In an independent Scotland, how long would it be before we had the DUP, SDLP and various other sectarian parties? Not long I would guess. Maybe they’d be called the Rangers Supporter’s Party and the Celtic Supporter’s Party, but they be just the same.
Any chance of getting the Scots to take Newcastle on the grounds its closer to Edinburgh than London?
Brown went from Stalin to Mr Bean.
Miliband goes from Walter Mitty to Frank Spencer.
Whatever your view of Cable that line about Brown is a political gem.
Yeah but Big Vinny is a prize c.nut isn’t he!
It is a little reported fact that Sir Fred is a rabid Little Scotlander. Funny that Brown would have him knighted. Until you remember that Brown himself was most insistent that his children be born in Fucking Scotland.
Very few reports point out Fred’s background as one of the administrators for BCCI, either. Fred and his crew screwed BCCI creditors out of millions in inflated fees for PWC (his then employers). PWC – New Labour links are many and varied – Patricia Hewitt, to name just one.
Labour, “consultants” and shitty bankers – all in it together.
Too true, but not limited to Labour. Loads of Tories who were consultants and bankers (to say nothing of Guido who is a failed hedge fund munchkin). Perhaps most embarrassing given his pompous pronouncements about the financial sector is Nigel Farage’s background as a commodity broker and banker. A little mole tells me he is still driven by an annual review which labelled him ‘utterly useless’.
Failed?
Methinks that bankruptcy would usually merit such a description?
That was nothing to do with playing the markets. That was to do with lawyers.
We fucking well told Fred not to go for it. We all told the board. Shut up or fuck off was the reply.
“Don’t you think that having an efficient modern rail transport link between Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds might just redress the balance somewhat then?, all roads do not need to lead to London.”
Do you think the ordinary unemployed in Birmingham, Manchester etc will be able to afford to commute to London by HS2 or even just travel on it?
A company looking to move to Birmingham, Manchester etc is going to be more interested in freight costs to and from their new site rather than how quickly their executives can travel from the head office (in London of course).
“freight costs” ???? you make it sound like companies in britain would actually be making something to sell. how outdated.
And of course the london boys aren’t going to be the ones doing the travelling.
HST2 is already as out of date as the six-horse mail coach.
Don’t be so cocky internet. I was the future once.
In which case it will feel very at home as it passes through the Chilterns.
‘Freight costs’ – didn’t the railways under ZaNuLab price themselves out of the freight market, leading to our roads becoming choked with ( mostly foreign) lorries?
Our plans to divide and rule da Britishers is coming along nicely mein Führer, soon the Jockese will join us leaving da little Englanders alone and isolated with their silly little pound notes Mhahahahahahaha….
Very good my little Rompuy pumpuy, very gooooood. Here’s a doggy biscuit for you and tell Slippery Salmond we wish to tax all his oil, whiskey and kilts.
Scotland – a bit like Greece but without the weather and the seafood.
I can see the attraction – not!
Thats a bit hard on the Greeks.
Staffer reporting that after Miliband’s PMQs, there was blood on the carpet.
Seems Ed cut himself opening a Tassimo.
The version I heard was that Bollox described him as “as useful as a used tampon” – and then dropped on the carpet a supply he had brought along to illustrate his point.
Ed is fecking ugly.
There is only one word to describe Milliband, starting with w and ending with r and its not wodger.
Winger?
Waffler?
Is there no end to this millipedes ability to create great mirth.
He must look more to the music hall to further his career.
It seems we must look more and more to show business people for our political guidance these days as it appears we look more and more to see our best comedians in the Houses of Parliament.
Another poor day from little Mil.
its getting dangerously near the time when Labour will have to reach for the missile keys and punch the secret code into the combination vault and actually have a policy on something.
Following Unison guidelines, a quorum of at least 20 full-time Pilgrims must be assembled to open the policy vault.
Each Pilgrim will have one digit of the code, but it is advised that extra Pilgrims be kept on hand to provide a redundant failover in the case of annual sick leave.
I really shocked that Her Majesty’s Rt Hon Member the Leader of the Opposition Milliepeed the Minor is being very economical with the truth regarding this matter. What is the world coming to when you cannot trust a word he utter’s as being anywhere truthfully. Next you will be telling us Bliar only paid minimum Tax on one of his myriad of companies with a £12million income………
Oh sh*t but thats true…..
Yet another example on why Milliepeed The Minor, on his so called relaunch day, is only fit for perpetual opposition, even as leader of the opposition its very doubtful he will last to the end of this Parliament before the night of the long knives decides his fate…..if not the electors will most certainly give there response at the ballot box…….roll on next weeks PMQ’s to see calamity Ed in action again with clear vision for us……..LOL LOL LOL……
It seems to me that Ed’s head is on the chopping black
When I heard Dave today agreeing with what Milly was saying about the Union I started getting suspicious.
All this nonsense about having all party talks behind the scenes. keep everything in front of camera just like Levenson.
A simple yes or no referendum will suffice with a draft Constitution and Heads of agreement attached.
How about this for starters
1. Hadrians wall to be reinstated with electrified chicken mesh.
2. 10 pound visa fees to be paid each time someone crosses the Border.Scottish
3. Queen to remain Queen of Scots with ceremonial powers only
4. Debts of HBOS and RBS to be paid from North Sea oil revenues
5. Scotland to be an independent state within the EU fiscal union
6. Scottish pounds to be converted into Euros at average bid price on 7 May 2015
The TGV in France leaves Gare du Lyon and arrives in Aix-en provence 3hrs 11 mins later (approx 420 miles). House prices in A-en-P have risen considerably as Parisians can leave on a Friday at 4pm and be home shortly after 7pm, being weekly commuters with a weekend life in the south of France.This flexibility adds considerably to the quality of life.
Evaluation of HS2 should not only be in terms of economics because once the infrastructure is in place people will adapt their lives accordingly.A similar opportunity has arisen with the Heathrow express.
In 1957 I travelled by steam train from Leeds to Wembley to see the RL Cup Final. The train time was 9hrs 37 mins.
Great logic but who the fuck wants to commute back home to Birminghamabad for the weekend?

The basket system
30. The Government regulates fares where operators are likely to have a high degree of market power. Some 60% of rail travel is undertaken on regulated fares, such as Season Tickets and longer distance Off-Peak fares. The RPI+1% system has been in place since 2003. Train operating companies have some flexibility in setting prices through the ‘fares basket’ system. This allows some individual fares to be increased by up to 5% more than RPI +1%, provided the overall average does not exceed RPI +1%. When appearing before us in February, the then Minister of State, Lord Adonis announced that:
In a time of economic stringency I do not think it acceptable for individual commuters to face significantly above-average fare increases. The Government’s intention is, therefore, that in future the cap should apply to individual regulated fares, not just to the average of each fares basket.[57]
31. Lord Adonis confirmed this position when he appeared before us in June.[58] We welcome the removal of regulated fares basket flexibility. No longer will train operators be able to continue the unacceptable practice of increasing selected regulated fares by six or seven times the inflation rate.
