David Mellor on Dave:
“He appears to be rather a shallow, callow sort of guy who doesn’t have too many aims and ambitions and who can’t even get basic judgment calls right.”
Give em hell Guido
Seconded – with lots of !!!!!!!’s
Get rid of the State Mouth Piece BBC. Any one know of the Gas Rig that has blown up off the coast of Nigeria on the 12th of JAN. NOT MANY AS THE MEDIA DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW.
Not heard about it till now. Wonder if they will put the same resources in as BP did (or was forced to do).

There was a road accident in Timbuktu on the same day, they did not report that either so obviously censorship. NOT MANY AS THE MEDIA DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW.
Media morons masturbating furiously with each other.
“Freedom of expression” lol, not in the comments section obviously.

Who made you the “no dissent please, we’re libertarians” monitor?
OMG Guido just said “it started in America’ !!!!!!!!!
shouldn’t you lot be at school?
Will he “save the world”?
Hmm the fragrant Woman on the left seems to have grown a beard over lunch !
Really ?
Guido, can’t you please quote the time-word cliche, ‘ If you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear’ ?
Guidos just launched the big bazooka !
Let’s just remind ourselves who was running the country when all this was going on nine years ago. The press was allowed to get away with illegal activity thanks to cosy relationships with Labour ministers, Lords and spinmasters.
NONSENSE !!
Here we go
Poor Gordon Rayner, obviously not shagged the right columnist at his paper. Would have early him protection from Guido. She pulls stings.
I just watched the last quarter of an hour and Guido said literally nothing in response to weak and pointless questions. Sums up this whole Hearing to me, a complete waste of time.
Business as usual please Guido!
More impressive than KP playing left arm spinners.
Well done Guido.
Straight down the pub now, Guido ?
Well deserved.
And the worst profession for sticking together and watching each others backs- lawyers.
Not exactly – nothing I like better than a good solicitors’ negligence case!
Anyone who likes Camilla and Kelvin is OK by me.
A strong and assured performance Guido Fawkes.
Fantastic performance, not bad for a ‘blogger’, well prepared with some choice answers that seemed to leave Levenson struggling over words.
Tremendous!
aah. The boy did good!
Well done. Liked your bit about ‘laws being broken, and being ignored….’ mutter mutter, mumble mumble umm…’ah but how did YOU get the Campbell statement….’ Pah!
Very well done Guido, stellar performance, that will give them a few things to think about.
“Staines says he obtained Alastair Campbell’s witness statement pre-publication from a journalist, who claimed to have obtained it from another journalist.”
HaHaHa! I bet that journalist got it from a journalist!
Was it Benji the binman ?
C/P from Leveson screen
taines (Guido Fawkes), Keir Starmer QC (Director of Public Prosecutions), Helen Belcher (Trans Media Watch) and Pam Surphlis ( !! )
If you had hung on Guido, you might have caught her
Not bad. For all the totty-watch and Brown-baiting on here, we were presented with an articulate and commanding performance.
I noticed the Lord raised his eyebrows then stifled a yawn as you got up to leave.
Did not like the challenge abot Op Motorman.
Well played Guido
Guido didn’t get the option to say anything else that was relevant like others were asked if they wanted to.
Just noticed BBC website seeming to imply that Piers Morgan’s bad behaviour at the Mirror was something to do with the News of the World. Sloppy. Or bad. You decide.
2 X 31! gosh. Not seen it do that before.
Crazy days.
You must be fairly new here. And on rare occasions 2 x 1
BBC sloppy copy-
“The man behind political website Guido Fawkes has told how he avoiding legal action by using foreign web hosts.”
I don’t like being the grammar police, but primary school English would be nice.
Fast moving story. They will update ASAP!
Typical, If that’s kosher I hate the BBC even more today than I did yesterday.
Its hardly primary school english, more like going for a coffee half way thr
What are you not being understanding?
Adur of Leicester
Any chance of a few shares G?
Great Live coverage by Telegraph. Shame they missed the bit about their own Gordon Rayner. Must have been busy typing copy or something.
So I’m watching the Leveson Hearings, and I keep thinking: Who does Guido remind me of? And then it finally hits me!
Excellent. Brought tears to my eyes, twice.
What about this one, possibly the best told joke ever
http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=GB#/watch?v=IeNDkxnz2V0
Think the Irish 1922 thing was a bit of a rubbish comment, Guido.
Yes I thought Guido was about to stage a dirty protest in the witness Box
hehe, the BBC can’t even get a headline right…
The man behind political website Guido Fawkes has told how he avoiding legal action by using foreign web hosts.
Loving the caption for Guido as “Paul Staines is a former rave organiser and professional gambler”. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16945521
I love the BBC’s impartiality and sense of fair play!
I’m wondering who defines what impartiality means for the BBC – do they define it for themselves? Bah
Lol, Leveson seemed to be out of his depth, trying exert some authority over proceedings so went into Barrister fall-back position and woffled on for some time with a convoluted ‘what if’ question that he struggled to expand into a sentient paragraph, no one understood what the hell he was one about.
On.
Or was he one. Dunno, your call
Thanks I was beginning to think I had dementia, because I had no idea what he was trying to say
That Belcher ‘wimmin’ is a bit of a growler. Hope you didn’t cross her, Guido! If you did it would be with a bulldog, and to the latter’s disadvantage!
I find it hypocritical that Paul Staines can take so much interest in UK affairs, when he’s not even a UK citizen, and hides behind the 1922 comment.
What a hypocrite. Fock off back there, tosser.

Two points:
Re testimony at Leveson today, Mr. Staines should realise that as a resident of the United Kingdom, even temporarily, he is bound by the laws in that jurisdiction; his nationality is of no interest nor cannot be a defence.
Second for girlengineer, a site that headlines an article in the way quoted below is hardly an apt forum to complain about the (admittedly) appalling English of the BBC. In my time at primary school we were taught that singular subjects were allied to singular verbs.
Quote: The Telegraph have a transcript of the earlier part if you missed it. Unquote
Dear me,is there any point to this inquiry?
Leveson seemed to indicate that criminal acts 9 years ago are now irrelevant. It’s obvious he doesn’t understand blogs & the internet.
Do all these lawyers charge by the word & pauses? I had to smile while many long,tedious questions that rambled on just needed a yes/no answer along with a fuck-off wry smile.
What are these Rolling Stones springs to mind.
Well done Guido. A strong & assured performance.
Guido:
The “justification” you gave Leveson for intrusions on the privacy of people in public life was that “someone who would lie to their wife would lie to the voters.”
Please clarify. Does this apply ONLY to “people in public life” or should we apply the same yardstick to journalists – yourself included?
Seems to me that any journo capable of using subterfuge and telling lies when gathering information is hardly likely to miraculously metamorphose into a paragon of truth when it comes to writing the info up. (Oh, and don’t we also have a “need to know” about any hack who ever cheated on their spouse before deciding whether or not we can trust their stories?)
Well done Guido. Tell it like it really is.
It seems to me that Fawkes must be some sort of Time Lord.
He is guilty of at least one grievous fault: you can never never trust a Burnley supporter!
I bet Leveson is really brassed offwith all this as he as been saddled with a real can of worms.
The thing is it is very hard to pick up a load of worms and put them into one can as they have a habit of crawling away and going to ground.
It is a good job too that that witness statement is not being used for trial purposes. A second division brief would be able to toast Fawkes alive with that!
I am a sadd lying c’unt. I need to take a good long hard look at myself in the Mirror. What will be reflected back at me? A scrounging, lying, unethical arsehole, Perhaps?
This country is up its own arse.
Why did Leveson raise his eyebrows at the end of Guido’s testimony?
I think you will find that High Court judges are not used to sifting through large dollops of crap as he is being forced to.
