The Telegraph is reporting that the popular reality-based Labour MP Tom Harris has been “forced to resign” after posting a Downfall spoof video that mocked Joan McAlpine MSP, the First Minster’s close friend and adviser. Harris was Labour’s latest Twitter Tsar, though he’s hardly the most loyal supporter of the leadership, so Guido doesn’t imagine there are many tears being shed on the inside. The video wasn’t even very funny…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
I do think its a tad unfiar, Multiple downfall videos have been done and shared.
Have hese Mps got no sense of humour?
How is the massive Economic Ponsi Scheme going?? Wont be long now until the whole Fraudster system fails.
The Capitalist bull, being pulled down by the TAX Wolf ripping out its throat.
Leth juth thee which way the crow thlies.
It’s more like the Capitalist Golden Goose getting it’s throat ripped out by
hoards of crony capitalist weasels at the bidding of the coalition wolf in Tory sheep’s clothing.
I agree. Vested interest windmill builders government quangos and over paid public sector useless bas-ards
labour put the “crony” in “crony capitalism”
Sadly the coalition appear to be doing fuck all about it in practice, beyond mere words.
I wish we had a Ron Paul over here!
It’s Ponzi, after Charles Ponzi…
No, it`s Poncey, after Chris Hunhe.
Agree
From what exactly has he been “forced” to resign?
Twitter Czar.
Previous incumbents – Kerry “Postal Votes” McCarthy and Wee Dougie “My Other Sister’s Not a Crook” Alexander.
To be Fair, Thats a shocking slur on Wendy Alexander, just because some businessman donated some money to her Leadership campaign doesnt mean she was corrupt.
Why do you find it so hard to believe that a businessman who lives in the Channel Islands would have an interest in the local Politics of Glasgow Barrhead constituency ? Im sure the fact that he was seeking planning permission for the building of the Silverburn shopping centre located in er..Glasgow Barrhead constituency was purely coincidental.
I did porridge for less than that.
How ridiculous. Political correctness gone mad.
Who is that standing behind Ed De FecitDenier-Balls?
So the Scots Gnats or the Scots Nazi Party can’t be criticized in any shape or form.
Harris was having a laugh at their expense, and this looks like a feeble excuse to sack the guy. It just shows that Miliband is a humourless PC creep.
It is a good job that Harris hadn’t compared Salmond to Stalin.
Scots Nazi Party?…….dear oh dear oh dear.
He was being kind, you humourless sponging pondlife.
Im surprised Guido allows you on this blog since your only claim to fame is as the butcher of the Catholic Army of Charles Edward Stewart.
Billy’s very subdued today. Is he feeling himself?
Probably. Plus, he’s very busy compiling his list.
Why is one never featured in ‘totty watch’? Huhne tells me I’m a great driver
.
Tom Harris….Bollox!
Luke Bozier….fuck off!
I thought this is funny, shame he’s lost his job. Ed Miliband or whichever dolt as forced him to resign needs a sense of humour check. Its not in the same league as going to France on a stag party dressing up as a nazi and toasting the SS.
It is a shame – Tom Harris is, for a Labour MP, comparatively sane. Mind you, compared with previous New Labour Twitter / Internet “czars” (Kerry McCarthy, Wee Dougie Alexander), almost anyone is sane.
Agreed. If Tom Harris wasn’t chained to the Rock of Socialism, he’d be a good, capable politician.
He`s a haggis muncher, how could he be a capable politician?
Well you thought well enough of the Scots to have a large part of your Army who fought at Culloden comprised of them.
On that basis, Ed Balls should be handed his cards as well.
does dopey Clegg realise that most family companies are owned by the people who work in them ie. owned by the employees.
Government hates family businesses
It’s not keen on families, despite the rhetoric.
not sure its families they hate.
Probably just anyone not involved in government.
Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalon, was on R4 this morning making the case against Iran and peddling the lies that Ahmadinejad has stated that he wants to wipe Israel off the map.
Ahmadinejad did not say this, it was a total distortion of what was said. You all must know this! What WAS said was about the removal of the state of Israel as political entity in the Middle East.
It would appear that Ayalon is in the UK for a cosy chat at the Neocon talking shop, Chatham House, tomorrow. I wonder what backroom war deals will be brokered there?
MEMRI,
Like distortions in my mind
Reaching out to rewrite history
Of the way we were…

Labour MP Tom Watson should direct his less than hellish fire on more deserving targets than the Scottish National Party. After all we come out of the same mould as Labour, but we are far more nationalistic and rabid.
He should concentrate on attacking the Conservative Party who are seeking to deflect our venom and introduce capitalist common sense reasoning into debate. Red Flag Forever
The reason Labour hate the nats is one of self preservation. They appeal to the left of centre and independence would fuck Labours chances of a decent majority at Westminster
bit like National Socialists and International Socialists, really.
Peil
You are spot on!
Like anyone down here cares what your opinion is? just carry on licking Salmond`s a*se, there`s a good peasant.
Enough of this wind-up, please.
I think this is actually quite funny.
About time someone booted the anglophobic Salmond in the nadgers
I agree, I thought the video was pretty good as “Downfall” parodies go.
I like the Motorbike one best
What are you on about?
Another fantastic example of “strong” leadership from Ed…????
Get a focus group on to it immediately
Oh come on, Harris was doing sterling work for English nationalism. Whenever his whining, Glasweegieland accent popped up on the media, down here, he drove yet another welcome nail in the coffin. Bring back Harris!! England needs him!!! F*ck the Scots!!!
You are Kelvin McKenzie and I claim my £5
You appear to be rather angry…………….Chill
Just fed up subsidising sponging c*nts like you, Jimmy.
I bring more money into the British economy and employ more people than you, you cock faced english prick !
Then such a clever chap should recognise a wind-up.
We don’t need to lift a finger concerning Scottish Independence.
1) We only have 1 MP in Jockistan
2) Labour have 41 MPs in Jockistan
3 Lib Dems have about 5 MPs in Jockistan
All we have to do is watch Labour and Lib Dems devote far too much time, and resources fighting to keep their MPs in Scotland for fear of anialation in Westminster.
We Tories can then attack both parties when they are much weakened and seen as defeated.
Make that 11 lib dem MPs in Jockistan
Spoken like a True English Gentleman……Divide and Rule.
Spoken like a true Jimmy, with subtitles.
Spoken like a true bigot, blissfully unaware of your fuckwittery
Why? I’m sure Joan McAlpine can take it. She’s been around for ages.
I know the Fire Engine was going a bit too fast, but my ex-wife was driving……yes that’s it!
Daresay the DECC were relieved to have him out of the office for a blessed day.
How does a fire brigade take credit for cutting the number of fires?
Good question, but they’ll do it anyway
By taking a successful pre-emptive and pro-active role in fire prevention strategies. Sending fire prevention officers out and about to locate and remove fire hazards in businesses.
What did Hampshire do to deserve a visit from his Huneness, anyway I just wish he’d cut his own emissions. Stopping speaking would be a good place to start
It raised a chuckle here.
Funnier than a Monday cartoon.
Mind you, I’ve had funnier toothache than that.
Downfall videos? These were funny several years ago.
If Harris was in charge of “new media”, what was he doing with such a tired joke? He should be sacked for unoriginal, lame material.
today i am inventing Bellend Stilton
Harris needs “re-education through labour”.
Harris needs to go back to his day job……..putting his arm up the bahooky of yon wee green budgie!
He`s Scottish, he does`nt have a f*cking job.
And you no longer have a fucking wife . No wonder she walked out on you you utter knob jockey
I`m sure YOUR wife would recognise a wind-up, when she sees one.
I sometimes wonder whether alex salmond and Nicola Sturgeon are banging.
It’s the way she seems to have picked up so many of salmond’s mannerisms.
Then also the way in one photoshot he has his arm glued to her arse! I mean – unless she is a glove puppet its unatural to have your hand on the arse of a work colleague without getting in scerious trouble!
Still if Salmond is spunking on her hairy pussy, in her mouth on her tits it means he has less time to be irratating on TV.
The fact that Sturgeon has the ” boyish ” look, probably tells us all we need to know about Salmond.
I keep seeing Ed Balls behind the mustache…worrying.
Erm…shouldn’t the bigoted Scots cow McAlpine have resigned as Eck’s testicle massager?
No. She did nothing wrong and told the truth. The Ukanian parties have conspired for years to prevent Scottish independence which, because of them is now inevitable. They don’t like it up em. Eck has now seen of three party leaders in Scotland and now pig face Harris, (who looks as if he is no stranger to a bit of knob cheese,) has been impaled by his own childish arrogance. Poetic justice for the knob gobbling Hunt. No wonder the members bar in the Commons is full of cock suckers. If they spent less time pushing each other turds and more time working the country would be in better shape.
it was as funny as a bomber harris repeat
AndFuckYouTo

If they spent less time pushing each other tollies and more time working the country would be in better shape.
Bit early for the buckfast, is`nt it? Oh i forgot, it must be giro day, probably staggered down to the off licencas soon as you`d climbed off your pig-ugly scottish wife. Enjoy your subsidised buckie, while it lasts, you soap-dodging toothless pondlife.
Ooooh uncle Tom, brave eh? you cheese eating knob gobbler, just because your parents were siblings, you don’t have to embarrass them like this now crawl back under your rent boy and lick his grommet you inbred wank stain
Awww did the giro not turn up this morning, then?
This particular wind-up would be better done by Jeremy Beadle.
Stereotyping?
No Jimmy, fact.
Boring fud.
Hasn’t someone else had to resign over a “Downfall” spoof video? Just rings a bell from the past though must admit that as soon as I see “Downfall” in a headline I usually jump to the next story because there have been far too many corny videos based on the film.
I think Adolf Hitler was fotced to resign,if my memory serves me well!
Christ, you people cant even f*cking spell. I thought some of the English tax money sent up to buckfastland was spent on rudimentary education? After all, it`s not being spent on dentistry, is it?
Oh fuck of paragnostic we know its you, deary-fucking me!
Btw you forgot the apostrophe in “can’t” you illiterate fuck.
Get tae fuck.
I can spell and my invective is more inventive.
Ha ha ha!
Dearie me.
Don’t all these politicos take themselves very very seriously. Time for a wee bit of piss-taking of the lot of them methinks.
And Wee Eck himself is no stranger to a monstrous ego.
How right you are.
It’s all here. All of it.
