MacShane’s Twitter Fibs
No this isn’t about his fraudulent expense claims, this is about the whoppers MacShane tells on Twitter:
Without even checking the records, Guido recalls that the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 were officially opened by President Ronald Reagan and saw him re-elected in November 1984. More recently the Canadian Conservative government of Steven Harper won a full majority of votes in 2011, after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, following successive minority and coalition governments in the previous years.
Last week MacShane made the bizarre claim that €uro had got stronger against the “Osborne pound” which was “still weakest currency in world as oil prices rise”. The pound is in fact up 5% against the crisis-ridden €uro over the last three months.

Lefty lying shocker.
Should be in prison
I have watched MacShane for years and I don’t think he knows the difference between lying and speaking the truth.
Not surprised he’s a Euro-fanatic.
Denith Macthwame ith a really really therious atthet to the LieBore party Party.
I know thith becoth I am a very very clever perthon! Tho clever I went thoo Oxferd. Altho, I can do a rubbith cube in a few theconds flat.
Absolutely. And, he’s a socialist… ergo: A liar!
Once a bull-shitter always a bull-shitter.
Never trust a thieving monster like this. He is pure evil, through and through.
McClaim should lose his McJob.
“2010 Vancouver Olympics” I think tha’s got that one Guido old love, there were no Olympic games in 2010 thank goodness it was the winter Olymics you are thinking about, still I would be very happy if there no Olympic games of any description the ordinary or winter a lot of money sloshing around just right to disappear down into bottomless cracks, still I suppose I can live with it as it is in the south east of the country.
One of life’s mysteries why PoliticsHome bother to regurgitate McShames witterings on twitter on their banner phi wire.
If one looks at the five year chart one will see that the pound devalued against the Euro in the reign of Gordon Brown and has been slowly rising in the Dave age.

And against the dollar the £ was effectively devalued by around 15%
Socialists do love to lie. If only our children were taught about the true nature of socialism, perhaps, we’d have fewer of them in our country and we could return to a path of normal advancement. Read F.A.Hayek’s book, The Road to Serfdom, it will tell you all you need to know about the evils of socialism.
Another little gem is, “The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality”, by Ludwig Von Mises. In particular, Champagne Socialists get several new ones torn as their conceits and fantasies are laid bare for all to see. The Glittered Richard pictured in the header is covered by a section entitled,”The Resentment of Frustrated Ambition”.
And look what I found!!
http://mises.org/etexts/anticap.pdf
Definitely a Gold Star on your work book, Tessa!
All the thanks go to you, GOM. I’ve just read the chapter you mentioned (p15). Brilliant stuff, I’m really enjoying it.
Hayek, von Mises, both from the Austrian school of Economics. Eminently sensible and convincing in their arguments. Detlev Schlichter from The Cobden Centre website, an Austrian Economics forum, is well worth a read. Socialism has harmed Western civilisation for over a century and for some reason their malignancy is not taught in our schools. Until it is, we will continue to produce hordes of unreconstructed socialists from our education system, armed and ready to continue the destruction of our way of life. I would suggest that socialists are encamped in all walks of life from heads of private sector organisations to civil servants, to MPs to the malignant EU bureaucracy. The need for total destruction of the socialists is becoming ever more urgent.
Without appearing to associate myself with socialist Liebore or capitalists, it is not the pure ideas of socialism or capitalism that is wrong, it is what certain folks do when they use either system for their own ends and benefit, the capitalist model stumbled dramtically over the past 5 years or so, and the neo socialist system dramtically let their people down in Russia eventually exchanging one tyranical despot for another ending in Stalin
Go on then delete it old love
That C.u.n.t wouldnt know the truth if it smacked him in the mouth….Which is what I would love to do to this piece of crap………..
Join the queue.
Bliar was not a socialist, everything about him was conservative, he is another example of using the system for his own ends
Yes, of course, and Thatcher was a socilaist.
And, Ha hah, what does that make Mandlescum? (OK…silly question. But politically, what is he?)
A Chameleon.
Blair was (and is) a barrow boy who the Labour Party thought could be used to obtain power by stealth. Instead, blair used the Labour party, and has destroyed it in the process. As usual, Dan Hodges hits the magpie.
http://www.totalpolitics.com/opinion/290317/the-peoples-party-has-been-disconnected.thtml
after a decade of Blair the country was a mess, he must of been a socialist.
Mr McShame, at it again.
Dennis is like me. Fidddle your expenses for years and get away with it. No one has ever questioned me for getting the taxpayer’s to pay for my Russian Mistresses’ apartment, salary, and taking her on foreign holidays. I wonder why? Boaz.
Jahbulon Handy.
BOAZ.Hasn’t MacShane got a court case to go to yet?
One Huhne at a time please, sir.
When is the Chinese government to collapse
They are playing the system and making loads of money, using an iphone – made in China
Did the information come from the little red book of BBC factasies?
Fact of the week
1. Most people in the UK are liberal socialists.
2. Only 2% of the country voted for either of the parties in the coalition
3. 99% of households watch Strictly Come Dancing
4. The most popular sport on TV is snooker
5. All government ministers lie. But Tory ones do it because they hate poor people.
6. The cuts so far have made almost 16 million people unemployed
7. Immigration has only had beneficial, cultural effects on the nation.
8. The earth is heating up from man made sources at a rate of 4 degrees C* a year
9. America is the most undemocratic nation on earth.
10. 97% of people are satisfied or very satisfied with the licence fee. The others are probably mentally ill.
You know me too well.
+++Sustained Applause+++
97% of Britons oppose the death penalty.
.Noting a familiar set framing Mr. McShane.
At least we can be confident that when MPs lie with intent to mislead, highly-paid, well-informed, impartial interviewers are able to correct him.
Aren’t we?
This is what’s known as “truthiness” Guido. It doesn’t matter what the facts are, it’s what people “know” to be true.
He has a face like a rat.
Rat? Well, close…
Guido – why are you even giving this oaf the oxygen of publicity?
He’s a never was.
Yeah, Adolf Hitler after 1938?., he’s clutching at straws with that one, it is also now the year of the Dragon or maybe try a bit of divination from the entrails of a pheasant.
Stop making negative remarks about our beliefs.
And about me! – it’s hard work dragging this lot around!
Err… he did say “since 1960″. Still wrong though. do you remember 1938 like it was yesterday?
Yes I did notice that but chose not to use Mr MacShanes parameters, was I around in 1938? no, please excuse me if I make so bold as to make any future references to the building of Stonehenge or the Norman invasion of 1066, if I said that I had personally witnessed these events at least 20% of the population might smell a rat.
Well said Young Lady.
I remember going to St James’ Park and watching Jackie Milburn playing for Newcastle United when I was only 3 years old and living in Australia.

hope that helps.
Denis MacShane is simply misunderstood, and i’m proud to say he is a great politician…….Sorry everyone learnt this today, just trying it out……….That’s what worries me about things like the Atomic Bomb, once the word gets out everybody starts trying it.
Eventually we’ll learn to live with it…
Just wait until we develop the anti-matter bomb….
:-? 
An anti-smiley torpedo would be a good start.
That is probably a good idea.
I’m surprised they all worked…

I blame Tessa Tickles.
So do I.
She does P”e£a5s with impunity.
As a member of the LIEbour Party, how can anyone believe a word of what this lefty layabout says – who will be daft enough to accept his statement that he has
repaid the £23,000+ that he “obtained”?
£23k???
Since it’s more like 10 times that and then some over the years no-one with a brain will believe him.
the left live by the strategy – lie often enough and the too lazy to check media/voters will believe. if they get pulled up, they were quoted out of context by the lying right. win – win in their eyes
Ahh mr mcshame. He of the £100k pa expenses for garage that he pretends is an office and those dozen or so laptops claimed off the taxpayer, rather has the look of a man who does not connect to reality.
In other words he is scum.
Somehow that word does not quite describe him.
PIP watch?.
Alas the cyberspace stage curtain has been lowered again to protect or prying eyes.
L is for Labour
L is for lies
this episode of sesame street is brought to you by the letter L, the words lying labour scum and the number 12billion so far squandered on 2 weeks of running and jumping
Background
MacShane was born in Glasgow[5] as Denis Matyjaszek, to an Irish mother, Isobel MacShane, and her Polish husband, Jan Matyjaszek,[6] who had fought in the Second World War and remained in exile after it, taking British nationality in 1950. MacShane was educated at the independent St Benedict’s School in Ealing and read history at Merton College, Oxford where he wrote for the Cherwell student newspaper. However, in retaliation for an article attacking the rival publication Isis, MacShane was stripped naked, covered with pink paint and left in a remote location.[7][8]
[edit] Personal life
From 1975 to 1981 MacShane had a relationship with broadcaster Carol Barnes.[9][10] Their daughter Clare Barnes died in March 2004 after her parachute failed to open on her 200th skydiving jump in Australia.[11] MacShane married Polish-born Liliana Kłaptoć in 1983, with the relationship lasting only a few years. In 1987, he then married Nathalie Pham, an interpreter of French-Vietnamese origin; they have a son and three daughters. They divorced in 2003.[7][12] His relationship with writer Joan Smith[13][14] ended in 2010 after seven years.[15]
/
In his spare time, MacShane enjoys skiing and running.[16]

Hang on a minute, they have popped out again courtesy of MisterNed. Well done lad.
..Wot’s a knee mail?
I dunno nuffin’ ’bout no interwebs and no high speed broad-beans.
That money was just restin’ in my account..
Just did some Wikipedia look ups… following on from 1984 Guido mentioned…
1984 – Los Angeles (Regan reelected in 1984)
1988 – Seoul (Roh Tae-woo returned in 1992)
1992 – Barcelona (Marquez returned as PM 1993)
1996 – Atlanta (Clinton reelected 1996)
2000 – Sydney (Howard reelected 2001)
2004 – Athens (Karamanlis reelected 2007)
2008 – China (no brainer)
So in other words for at least the last 28 years and SEVEN Olympics in a row the next election saw the SAME leader go into the election and win.
In other words McShane is taken out of this arse.
He meant England managers have always been sacked after a tournament
Oh ..wait a ‘mo…
Well who would have thought….
In fairness, he might not have had enough characters left to include the word “not”.
You might add:
1904, St Louis: Theodore Rooseveldt was president of the USA between 1901 and 1909, securing a win in the 1904 election.
1908, London. Asquith was Prime Minister throughout the games and continued in office after the 2 general elections in 1910 with a government which was still in offfice at the time of the 1912 Olympics.
And the Institutional Revolutionary Power held power in Mexico for years after that county hosted the 1968 games.
Thanks for that William, Denis had me worried for a moment. The little tinker.
British summer Olympics 1908 Prime Minister Asquith re-elected May 1915
British summer Olympics 1944 (cancelled by WW2) PM Churchill re-elected May 1945
British summer Olympics 1948 PM Attlee lost the next election oct 1951 and serves him right for being a lefty.
“British summer Olympics 1948 PM Attlee lost the next election oct 1951 ”
Actually Atlee won the 1950 election … with a much reduced majority of 5, then called another in 1951 which he lost.
Roh Tae Woo due to term limits did not contest the 1993 election and was replaced.
Technically no election has yet occured in China since the Olympics since the last National People’s Congress was “elected” in March 2008. The next one in 2013 will no doubt replace Hu Jintao (who has had his “turn”).
The same would be true in Mexico, where re-election of the President is prohibited.
However, as in Mexico after 1968, the incumbent party in Korea in 1988 was returned to office in the next election (1992) – the Min Ja Dang (Democratic Liberal) Party.
Labour and liars, the words are indistinguishable.
Not just Labour. Remember “With the Conservatives there will be no more of the tiresome, meddlesome, top-down re-structures that have dominated the last decade of the NHS.”
Not now cato.
The National Death Service is something only a dumb, deaf and blind man would be proud of.
It should be broken up and privatised and people should take direct responsibility for their own care via personal insurance.
Which is what will have to happen eventually anyway, all the meddling in the world will not change that.

You are all welcome to come to BiasedBBC blog for livechat on QT.
Not interested unless unmenschonable and pennyforyourthoughts are on. They take one’s mind off the BBC factasies.
Mexico City hosted the Olympic Games in 1968. The government next changed in 2000! Barcelona hosted in 1992. The Socialist retained power in 1993. Willy Brandt retained power in the 1972 West German election held just after the Munich Olympics.
Denis MacShane talks an incredible amount of crap.
Maybe he should replace Miliband as leader.
Excellent idea, MacSlime could take part in PMQ’s via a video link from his cell in Wandsworth.
He’s just following suit to militwit and talking twaddle in the hope that folks believe him.
The problem is, that they will.
They haven’t got a brain cell between them.
I am always right!
I am never wrong!
And who mentioned twaddle?!!!
Shut up and drink some more socialist champagne
Also known as “hemlock”.
He could always blame the intern.
I wouldn’t even believe MacShane if he told me his name is spelt Matyjaszek.
Macshane’s claims are too far and too fast.
Looks like this independent lefty is independent of reality too.
Atlas Shrugged.
McShane is an arsehole, I on the other hand am an opportunistic sniveling little shit.
Which reminds me … I’ve got a jobby to do
Does anybody actually read McShane’s shite on Twatter? I personally do not give a flying fuck about the opinions of twats on twatter. 99.9% of opinions on twitter is pure rubbish and the rest is suspect.
Since 11th May 2010, the Euro has gone from being worth 85.96 pence to 83.8 pence according to the ECB website. So, Denis MacThick is wrong.
He’s also wrong against the Dollar, where Sterling has gone from being $1.4869 to $1.5586.
As for the Olympics. Let’s be generous and look just at the Summer Olympics. In 1964 the Japanese saw a change in Prime Minister who came from the same party (in practice most postwar Japanese PMs from the LDP tend to serve just one term). In 1968 Mexico hosted and saw a change in President who came from the same PRI party but since Mexico limits presidents to a single term, it’s nonsensical to draw anything from this. The 1972 Olympics were presided over by an SDP Chancellor – Willy Brandt, who continued to be Chancellor at the next election in November 1972.
There was a change in Canada after 1976 when Trudeau lost to Clarke. Technically the USSR saw Brezhnev hang on after the 1980 Olympics since he remained boss through the 1981 26th Congress of the CP.
1984 saw no change. Reagan won.
1988 saw Roh Tae Woo replaced by Kim Young Sam, although the parties of both presidents were merged. Again as in 1968, term limits prevented Roh from standing again.
1992 saw Felipe Gonzalez in charge and he won again in 1993.
1996 saw the relection of Bill Clinton, The republicans retained the senate and the House.
2000 saw john Howard returned in the next election in Australia in 2001
2004 saw the newly elected NDP karamanlist government overseeing the games, they won the next election in 2007
Bottom line, MacShane is a gibbering idiot. What a surprise.
En passant, before that loony Scot got his sticky mitts on the levers at the Treasury, the euro was stable at around 67p for a long time.
O/T
The anti-monarchy group Republic is warning schools they may break the law if they take part in a cooking contest to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
These are the same Wannabe Revolutionaries who said they’d disrupt last year’s Royal Wedding.
And then didn’t.
Why didn’t you phone little John to come out and change it? That’s what husbands do.
Pipsqueaker’s jack doesn’t reach high enough for her
Imagine the call to the AA.
“Hello, now look here, this is the Speaker’s wife, Sally Bercow. You have certainly heard of me. The dark thing round the wheel has popped, now send someone this minute little man or my husband will have you fired. And send some young hunk I can flirt with, yeah?”
Can’t she change the bloody thing herself.
I thought women were the equal of men.
I bet she could have blown it – up again!
We are taking notes on what is said on this blog.
You looking for comedy routines then?
Daft c*nt !
“still weakest currency in world as oil prices rise”
Does MacShane want UK exports to be cheap or expensive? You and he are both idiots if you think a strong currency is a good thing when we have 8%+ unemployment.
There’s a few more even since 1960.
Willy Brandt’s SPD won a landslide in late 1972 after the Munich Olympics although he resigned in 1974 when it was discovered that one of his aides was a Stasi agent.
Leonid Brehnev died in 1982 after the Moscow Olympics so it wasn’t an election (not that the USSR had them any way. Nonetheless Labour at the time were in love with the Politburo)
Gustavo Diaz Ordaz was president of Mexico at the time of the Olympics in 1968. He left office in 1970 largely because of public and political dissatisfaction with some of the crackdowns he authorised particularly the nororious Tlatelolco Massacre. His party PRI though continued in power for the following 30 years
He should be in our Pole vaulting team.
Why does his twitter account have the heading ‘Labour MP …’?
I thought that he was required to be an Independent having lost the Labour whip?
silly bunt
Expecting a Labour MP to know something? You Sir are a Leftist!
Did Hitler lose the election after the 1936 Olympic Games? Or Brezhnev after the 1980? Fairly sure Schmidt didn’t lose after 1972.
Even the London games of 1948 were followed by the re-election (reduced majority) of Labour.
Of course, the tossers who got London the games deserve to be voted out and made to pay for the damned thing out their expense accounts.
