JOYCE UPDATE: Police Interviewing in Committee Rooms
Rumour Joyce Took a Swing at the Desk Sergeant

Interviews are currently going on in Committee Rooms 16/17/18 for members and staffers who witnessed last night’s fun and games. There is also some speculation that Joyce  has been moved from Belgravia to another police station. Either way, he’s been in custody for over sixteen hours now. Tea Room gossip is gathering pace too…

Though Guido stresses this is just gossip, there is is talk that Joyce took a swing at the desk sergeant when he was being booked in last night…

Anyone remember what he was drinking?

    taking a swing at the filth. can you imagine such a thing in a hospital – affray.

    btw the sentence for affray for the general public is 2 to 5 yrs.

    and yes i have first hand knowledge of affray – much less violent than what this sounds like, as a witness.

          • The Judge says:

            Eric Stuart Joyce, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence.
            You are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts imprisonment in the same casual manner.
            We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences: you will go to prison for five years.

            real story is unions able to blame government for labour freeze in council pays..

            BBC news saying a dinner lady wont understand having pay frozen for third year – while rbs bankers get million payout???

            But government not making case that

            rbs bankers get millions due to labour contracts

            dinnerladies (and million other council workers) get no rise – due to labour cuts

            its all labours fault – yet coalition never says this – they have not sown the seed that it could be worse – 0% pay cut is better than 20% cut to minimum wage (Greece)

            balls winning this argument (even guido supports him)…. and so now this is all fault of last 2 years of coalition – not 12 years of labour overspending

          • Grim says:

            It’s obvious that taxpayers need to stop subsidising MP’s booze.
            They shouldn’t be drinking at all, FFS! You certainly wouldn’t fly a plane drunk, never mind be in control of a country!

          Good old Eric! At least he’s KO’d the ‘cyclops, murdoch lickspittle, illegally entering bint gets eviscerated in a foreign country’s domestic matter, in vain attempt to provide pretext for another ‘humanitarian intervention’ by psychopathic genocidal banker cabal’ wall-to-wall coverage by the msm lackey media. Good boy, Joycey!

        CYNICAL OLD MAN says:

        Wasn’t Joyce involved in a punch up with a member of the public in the same bar a couple of years ago? I’m sure he blacked the bloke’s eye with a “Glasgow Kiss” on that occasion, too. Joyce got away with pleading “self defence” and the member of the public, who was a regular visitor to the Strangers Bar, got the blame for starting the fracas. That time, Joyce had too many friendly “witnesses” seaking up for him. Strange that it was the bloke who sustained all the visible injuries.

      From a pharmacological perspective, this is getting kinda interesting, Pops… Most aggressive middle-aged lushes I’ve ever beat for a benny have been ready for rolling after twenny minutes or so action. Blue ectoplasmic ozone charge of C, if you ask me… What’s that stuff the hippie kids take for kicks – PCP? Do they burn veterinarians for their supplies in Scotchland? Do they even have them over there? Veterinarians, I mean, not kids…

Then they seek out a rival gang and all Hell breaks loose. I say lock ‘em up and throw away the key!”

    Eric Joyce's Self Loathing says:

    Hello! This is Eric Joyce’s self loathing speaking.

    I have contained myself for many years, as I witnessed Eric behave like the lowest, drunken, self-destructive crook. He tried to ignore me by drinking heavily, but last night I took the nuclear option – I finally broke through his chippy psychological defences and made him lash out in a sustained, drunken rage.

    Innocent people suffered, but at least I can be satisfied that that Eric can no longer fuel his leering, hateful power lust and self-destruction with monies extracted with menaces from others.

    On behalf of Eric, I apologise. I can’t promise he will stop being a self-hating, opportunistic leftist fucktard, but at least he has less opportunity to do so in the public domain.

    Thank you.

        I took steps last night to make sure Eric does not get to abuse the institutions of this country with his Darien fifth-column jock mafia bullshit any more.

        Oh go on then, have a drink. To be fair, you’ll be frantically trying to distill your own piss in a bucket in a few months, so knock yourself out for a change as opposed to someone else.
