The Penny is Dropping
Guido understands that Johann Hari’s close friend, protégé and replacement at the Indy “Laurie Penny” could be about to get caught up in a similar quote fabrication scandal. With the Indy’s terrible handling of one star’s demise, Guido does not imagine that their new £25,000 per annum columnist could, or would, receive the same leniency afforded to Hari.
I'm just getting in first on this hashtag, #pennygate – be back tomoro morning.—
Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) April 16, 2012
Hari slayer Brian Whelan is up to something, but many have long suspected that the “voice of a generation” was actually listening to voices in her head. Take this correction to her infamous Guardian article about her alleged time spent taking her clothes off on a stage:
“This article was amended on 8 July 2009. Changes were made to the second paragraph to make clear that the author was not persuaded by the managers of a local burlesque troupe to get into stripping, but did so voluntarily. The Burlesque troupe, with which the author performed, created a new format for the show after the Edinburgh 2005 run, not before, as the article originally suggested. The sentence beginning “Peeling off my fluffy underwear…” was moved from the end of the relevant paragraph to the beginning to correct this impression.” The words “after I left” were added before “as my troupe became more successful” to make clear that Laurie Penny did not perform in the new show.”
If you read the article without the words “after I left”, it is a riveting personal read and once added it becomes clear that the second half is almost totally embellished. Guido is confident that the Indy would have done a full and thorough check up of their recent hire in the wake of the Hari scandal. Once was bad enough, but twice…
UPDATE:
Laurie gets in touch to state that she's not on £25k at the Indy but a mere 22. Happy to correct the record.—

Couldnt happen to nicer person.
Labour, leeching off you and your children to drag our party out of the tough times we caused.
Ah, yes, of course: a nice new slogan and a logo. How lovely. All is right with the world once again.
Ideas? Nah. Policies? Come off it. That sheet of paper? Still as blank as ever.
With an ‘opposition’ like this, no wonder we’ve got a crap government.
Look …
… let’s just draw a line under this and move on … ok, yah?
Guardian poll backfiring:
If you had to choose, would you vote for Ukip or the Liberal Democrats?
69.5% Ukip
30.5% Liberal Democrats
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/poll/2012/apr/17/ukip-lib-dems-which-would-you-choose
And poor old Brute and his idol get a kicking over here! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/9209066/The-Prime-Minister-should-get-a-grip-and-remind-us-that-hes-on-our-side.html
phew £25,000
What’s the tax on that?
What will Labour’s new logo be? A swastika?
A Cornish pasty on a red tablecloth?
The logo is a nasal cavity.
Oh yeth it is.
Their new motto will be
‘Non pecuniam reliquit est’
‘Pecunia crescit in magicis pecuniam ligna’
Mine’s good because it’s got “magicis” in it, which is very Harry Potter. The kids’ll love it.
Gloria sic transit Mili
A badger wandering aimlessly.
non alba non britannia
A bit like saying, “cholesterol, with you during your heart attack”.
Looks just like the BNP, think I will make sure I point that out to them at every opportunity.
Surprise….surprise…the Not At All Independent is Red faced again……
The man in the picture is wearing a red Laurie Penny wig.
For 22k per annum, wouldn’t you?
I’ll have you know that’s the wimmin’s equivalent of Owen Jones!
Poor little rich (Marxist) girl
Prob’ly not the first time she’s worn a “pearl necklace”
Judging by her hair, somebody must be jizzing blood.
It quite sensibly distracts the eye from her face.
It’s a man wearing a red “Laurie Penny Style” wig.
Only £22,000 a year? But I thought she was a GramscoFabiaNazi-cheerleader. What’s she doing just picking up crumbs then?
Either the Grauniad really is boracic or the other £178,000 goes through her Liechtenstein anstalt.
That will be it.
She does look quite dirty though.
Christ, she’s fugly!
I’ve been thinking this through, and whilst there appears to be a flaw in the Indy’s compliance processes I still would
I’d like to invite her around my house, we can fabricate together all night baby.
£25K. Harri’s not Worth much
scrap that.
I can smell toast.
I can smell ham.
I’m ready with my Patum Peperium.
She is a truly pathetic attention seeking Mong! A middle class little girl taking on Socialist causes. The delusional Penny should get a proper job at Gregs Bakery fighting VAT. Jog On Socialist Mong!
“Greggs” is the name. Bakers to chavs and the Labour party.
I predict a torrent of tweets in which she equates folk questioning the accuracy of her stories as ‘rapists’, ‘misogynists’,'sexists’,'bigots’,'Nazis’ and the entire panoply of shrieky leftist keywords with which they seek to close down any discussion.
Another Leiber dork that needs a bit of le*d in the left ear!
Racist.
All dissenters against the Left are potential rapists, didn’t you know?
Yes, but there’s different types of rape. And that’s not what I said.
Le struggle snuggle?
So!
she e was paid for typing drivel like this?
25K? Not much of a return for seven years (?) at Uber expensive, uber-selective Brighton College and a degree from Oxford. If I were her parents I’d be looking for my money back.
If I was her father I would want my sperm back.
She looks like she carries a bit about, though probably none of yours.
It doesn’t come off that easy.
Don’t I know it.
Somehow I have a feeling the comments on this entry are going to become even more of a cess pit than usual?
Old men behind computer screens frothing at the mouth over a young girl, won’t be long before the really vile shit starts being posted, much like last time.
your absolutly spot on
Fuck off you attention seek mong!
Awww, poor ikkle Penny. At least she has you to protect her.
If you’re so offended by this blog “show biz”, why don’t you just do one? By the way, I am NOT an old man, and IF I consider some-one is spouting shite, then I will say so. So, you can bog off!
Hilarious
banging on about the right to speak one’s mind whilst telling those who dissent from the groupthink on here to leave
irony overload
logic fail.
He’s saying you have a choice if you don’t like it you mad c’unt.
Hilarious
banging on about the right to speak one’s mind whilst telling those who dis sent from the group think on here to leave
irony overload
That’s right, you’re not an old man, you’re a schoolboy.
Its already here. You are here. Ergo, go figure. Shobiz
I am an old man. but I know enough to sit in front of a computer screen, not behind it. As Penny is a dab hand at posting vile shit,she’s left herself open to a bit of response in kind, but please, gentlemen, no wanking over the keyboard.
you hooked “shobiz” there old man
Ha, ha! Now THAT’S funny!
hey …. less of the old!
Ageist!
u
luv
it.
Young girl?
The whining bag is 25 not 10.
Playing the sympathy card a little early aren’t you
W.W.
Nope Show Biz, I don’t think the picture you allude to of old men in an orgy masturbation at the keyboard over a young woman is accurate. There are better women over which to fantasize. Nope Penny elicits our ire because to be absolutely truthful, she isn’t clever enough to hold her political belief systems together when faced with logic and reasoning and at that point she becomes quite a vile little creature.
showbiz try removing this retort from your sanctimonious arsehole
Showbiz for UP,
YOu should shoot yourself you dull bastard.
Totty Watch?
Jog On Mong!
“shit in newspaper is actually shit” shocker.
Could I be the first to comment on Ms Penny’s splendid pearl necklace. I wonder who gave her that?
£25K? Really? Are all journos so poorly paid? Pay peanuts …
Try applying that to bankers
Her trust fund and mommy and daddy keep her in comfort.
The 25,000 is just so she can calim to be a paid journalist
having read one of her columns its obvious she’s listening to voices in her head. Not sure you can crucify her cause she’s a fantasist … you’d have to wipe out every socialist!
Now you’re cooking with gas!
my moneys on Balls … he likes to interact with pretty young socialist things!
Jack Dromey is one real ugly woman. Jacqui Smithesque if you will.
Jest not, this is the new Polly Tonybee, an under study waiting in the wings soon to assume the hectoring tones of St Polly.
It’ll be a fight to the death with that whiny schoolboy Owen Jones chap for Polly’s pay-cheque.
My money is on Laurie though. She ticks the same boxes as Polly. White, private school, Oxford (hell, Laurie even finished uni instead of just treating it as something to get into), she’s done the crappy jobs (burlesque) to establish her ‘working class’ credentials and, TOP TRUMP, she’s a girl.
Laurie.
Although Polly might get put out by a pretty young thing muscling in on her turf and put the ‘fix’ in for young Jonesy just to spite her. Women hate younger, prettier women.
Good analysis.
Telll that to a Lesbian in Holloway
‘Lesbians in Holloway’? That sounds like a skin flick.
think the movie was called “showering lesbian sluts of holloway”
Link?
That description could also fit Owen !
But Owen has the gay card. That trumps the feminist card. And he’s sort of working class. or he’s met a working class or something.
They’re both equally unaware of how real work, business, taxation, finance etc works. So that’s a draw.
This one’s going to run for a bit. Each junior having to increase their lefty credentials through flying pickets, stupid soundbites, weeping over a deported religious cleric, dodging soap, supporting the Euro and so on.
Polly will be safe for a good few years yet.
I bet Owen is cursing his stupid mother for not getting a good syringe worth’s of high grade Nubian sperm. If he had a bit of colour to him, instead of looking paler than Casper’s milky bar, he’d be a shoo in.
The again poor lad can’t even grow decent lefty facefuzz. A Rowan Williams is beyond his smooth cheeks. I expect even a Lenin, Che, or even a little Mehdi Hassan jaw line whisker wouldn’t take root properly.
And Laurie looks she could grow a bush so thick that it could sprout tomatoes.
Gay card trumps feminist card? Really? What if Laurie claims she’s gay too? It might even be true – not that it matters where the bedwetters are involved.
Then Laurie is surely holding pocket aces in the winner-takes-all poker game for Polly’s job.
Window dressing like Harriet Harman and Jacqui Smith never had that problem!
It’s a bit mean for people to complain about Penny making stuff up.
After a century of Socialism being proven to time and again lead to authoritarianism if not industrial scale slaughter, the left is utterly bereft of any cogent argument about how to improve life in this country in any objective sense.
What the fuck else are they supposed to do apart from make shit up? Show some mercy for Christ’s sake.
She is another deluded fundamentalist who believes the ends justifies the means. These political extremists are as bad as the religious nutters. Stupid little girl.
Eventually she will be obliged to join us.
It is very apparent that you do not indeed have to have talent to get a job in the media these days
Nope, just show you are willing to tow the Islington Metrosexual Lefty Trendy line, and you are in.
Particularly if you have nine grand to throw about. The Guardian would love to hear from you.
Crusader zealots!!
Even if she does get sacked she will still end up as a Labour Mp within 10 years.
So that’s what women mean by a ‘bad hair’ day.
I think you mean a ‘£200 quid at a trendy hairdressers’ day.
Always actice, active, active and never giving herself a chance to grow up. Leftism is infantilism.
She’s 26 and a quarter years old and knows everything so leave her alone!
If only she would leave us alone.
She is right, I can’t wait for her to be given an important job at the BBC. We need to push forward with reproductive rights. To me it is an appalling injustice that women are being forced to keep children even after they are born. I am part of the pro-choice majority. If a modern, career-driven, feminist woman doesn’t want her career to be interrupted she should be able to have an abortion anytime within nine months after birth too. Don’t let the anti-choice white males hold us back.
Abortions for all!
Wonder how this dopey cow reconciles her support for abortion with the all too predictable consequences of it in certain traditional Asian communities?
This is just tedious!
The Independent is crap
Yes Hari Khols sister is far more worth a pumping
Call me old fashioned bt this young lady shouid be whipped through the streets of London before being made to suck Ken Livingstones cock as people throw shit at the pair of them
You can get jailed for suggesting folk throw shit about. Particularly if you call ‘em c*unts.
So I won’t do that.
I was not implying that the shit should hit the fan (of Lenin) or indeed this charming young lady I just had a thought that it might add to the gaiety of the Jubilee if she were to perform oral sex upon the failed Labour mayoral candidate before an audience of cHeery Cokneys armed with horse shit from Hyde park deliberately aimed to miss
I thought that it was something like that which you had in mind but better to clarify these things lest folk get the wrong idea.
This board is in the USA and as such is protected under 1st Amendment rights.
“Call me old fashioned bt this young lady shouid be whipped through the streets of London before being made to suck Ken Livingstones cock as people throw shit at the pair of them”
How long before we can expect this in a Party Political Broadcast?
Are you the classic Peter Hitchens who used to post here in 2007?
Lets hope so. This blog got bigger without him but never better.
Your best article yet, Mr. Hitchens!
Who gave her the pearl necklace?
bast**rd, you beat me to it !!!
The silly red-haired oaf is a bigger tourist than Judith Chalmers.
She’s like a TOWIE wanabee, let’s shame it out asap and then hopefully it might fuck off.
The silly red-haired oaf is a bigger tourist than Judith Chalmers.
Really? How does she afford to live in London and take all these foreign holidays you allude to on a mere 25K a year?
Are you sure of these holidays? Tell us more.
Think you’ll find Scamp means ‘Tourist’ as in the ‘life’ sense JG.
Judith….. no, no, no, noooooooooooooooooooooo
Oh. Okay. If you say so. I did think Judith Chalmers used to do some holiday program back in the day so I thought it might be a reference to some globe-trotting lifestyle.
For the workers you understand.
Whatever happened to Hari? What’s he doing now? Writing fiction?
Could say that, helping Eddie The Fruit Bat with Labor party manifesto.
heard he has a chronic anal fissure…..emm ….he is a chonic anal fissure cant make my mind !
Guido you’d give an aspirin a headache. That’s one hell of a contorted description of supposed wrongdoing. Oh and it’s protégée for females.
People saying £25K/year isnt much – it’s £500 for a weekly article which takes ~1 hour to make-up^D^D^D^D^D^D^D research.
What happened to Frightened Inmate #1? Did he do a runner?
It’s just a homage to the pinacle of Tobias Funke’s acting career.
An homage if you don’t mind. I wouln’t have, but you started it.
I think you will find that ^C – ^V is the modern method.
Also known as copy pasta.
Sorry I should probably stop using that joke now as it’s incomprehensible to anyone under 35.
Thanks for the explanation — but I am 112.
Octal?
That would make me 74, a mere strip of a lad. 0x4A it is …
Don’t worry. There is some rule of the internet that states that there is no one under the age of 60 (like the no women rule) when we know that most of them are school aged.
About ^C^V — I think he meant ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H — see, I really am 112 and cut my teeth on a screenless terminal (printout only) in 1973. In Harlow New Town of all places, where the tower block inmates got rid of unwanted tellies by throwing them out of the window. Another little recreation was setting fire to parked cars, Cortinas being the favourites as I recall.
Ah! The old backspace. You really are 112, aren’t you?
Penny Red could use some of those for her entire output.
Assorted piercings, tunnels, tattoos etc are essential requirements for the upwardly mobile ‘lefty’. I’m looking forward to discovering Gordon had a Maori war symbol on his arse. Strangely, if he did he would go up in my estimation.
I’d prefer it if he had a Maori warrior’s sp*ear through his cold, black heart. But that’s just me.
Not just you……….
Don’t forget the double-tap, just to be sure…
*Plod will be thinking: arrest time*
Hate speech!
56 days in jail for you my lad.
It is not against the law for me to *think* you’re a cυnt, is it?
Good, then I *think* you are a cυnt.
Heard it called many things in my time, but never an estimation.
I notice that the BBC seem to have lost their ‘impartial’ beliefs over Breivik. The words ‘nutter’ and ‘idiot’ along with BBC types on the radio telling us that it’s right that his views should have been silenced this morning.
but compare that to how the BBC treats the IRA or Muslim terrorists. The BBC then believes they are simply ‘angered’ by western policies and that they have a right to be heard (even if they’ve killed people by the thousand). Remember how the BBC went out of it’s way to ensure WE heard the words of Gerry Adams when Maggie had the IRA silenced?
The BBC should also notice that Brievik actually killed white Norwegians for the most part, he didn’t go and attack a Mosque.
The BBC were very sympathetic to the Muslim mong who murdered those Jewish kids in France, but then again we know the BBC hates Jews.
You better be paying your TV tax Mr daisy cutter! I think we best send a detector van round and a few goons to make sure your getting the correct propaganda.
The bedwetters are very keen to have those whose ideologies they don’t agree with silenced. Hence the ‘no platform’ for the B&P and ‘racists’ and global warming sceptics but very quick to listen to the views of those who oppose their enemies.
It’s ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend’ doctrine at the BBC. So a failed murder of Fatch gets you unlimited access to the airways. Likewise murdering several thousand Americans (and other nationalities) suddenly has the bedwetters insisting that Islam be taught to our children in schools. WTF. Why not just run the video coverage of 9/11 and the ensuing street party of Palestinians dancing in the street – that’ll tell you all you need to know about Islam.
Huge numbers turn up for Ken Livingstone Rally.

she is pure fucking jail bait
no wonder Brillo was so keen
Jail bait?, believe it or not she is 26.
Going on 13.
Brillo wanted to borrow her furry underwear. Nudge, nudge.
Jesus she’s a fucking moron, if this is the best the Workers Vanguard can trot out then £22k is way too much, I’m sure she’ll hook up with some Banker in an ironic way and wave goodby to the Comrades in the near future
Like those ‘misogynists’ who were watching her during her burlesque career?
Little Laurie Penny dresses up in burlesque gear and shakes her little(?) tush and then gets all screechy because the punters were getting off on it? Errrrr. What did you think you were doing Laurie?
Stone ?
I don’t think so. But maybe others know better.
Shes fake.
So cool, so adult, so thick.
Check her passport. She may not even have been in New York, let alone been saved by Ryan Gosling. And what was that stupidity about traffic coming from the “wrong” direction, because she’s English? Avenues in New York are one-way (Google Earth); depending on which way she’s walking, east or west, and which avenue she’s crossing, at least half the time the traffic IS from the “right” direction! You’d think she’d have noticed! Thick as a brick! Laurie Not-Even-Worth-A-Farthing is a waste of good oxygen and certainly not worth the 25K she’s getting for the bollocks she calls a column.
So obviously a fag hag to Hari Botter
The Daily Caller had an item about Ryan Gosling wishing he hadn’t bothered coming to the assistance of our Penny. Afterwards he thought she was an ungrateful, mouthy cow who was the architect of her own problems.
Do film stars really wear white socks with sandals and trousers at half mast?
Whoever the ryan guy is, he didn’t do very much to break up the fight.
Wasn’t much of a fight, either; not like the ones in MY day, for sure!
As David ‘Hari’ Rose said to her “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
showbiz ..how are the posts working out for you?
Last time I read her blog, she was having some desperately metrosexual affair with someone disabled. She then started babbling on about how all the posters probably regarded her as a SLUTWHORE [sic].
Give her credit, the girl wants attention and knows how to get it.
>the girl wants attention and knows how to get it
Vraiment, as this thread amply proves. I heard her wittering away on the wireless and added her name to the long, long list of people I no longer need to bother about.
You jealous swine.
Can’t you see that Truthiness* is superior to Truth?

The Delusional Penny whose ideal self -a working class hero- is in conflict with her real self -a middle class idiot, she is a useful muppet for someone’s game to be played out in the media. Shallow.
She changes for dinner, then later a stroll around the grounds.
A lesbian hair style with pearls? Issues!
A lesbian hair style with p e a r l s? Issues!

It’s the dreaded green vegetable. P e a.

One question. Who threw paint on her head?
Laurie Penny’s interview with Elvis is in tomorrow’s Indy.
She met him in that fish and chip shop on Mars last Tuesday.
Do lesbos get their k.ni.ckers off? or are they tough enough – like the true scots – to go au natural under their sporran?
I only ask bcos of the red hair or is she oirish?

Wish I could write for the independent must be the easiest job ever. Just blame the White man for every disaster like some red Indian and just harp on about climate change oh and the evils of motorcars and plane travel (daddies villa in Tuscany and the range rover are allowed though) although given my parents that’s the old van and caravan holiday in Devon.
Thanks for the insights.
Mind yourself crossing the Tamar, CB.
And even I’m going to enjoy this defenestration. She’s insufferable.
Give her a couple of kids and some furry animals to look after; she’ll be sorted, and we can be spared her plastic socialist grandstanding.
I’m currently writing an article about my personal experience on board the Titanic. I witnessed Tories throwing babies into the freezing water.
The remains of the babies, after the evil Tories had grabbed them by the ankles, swung them in the air and violently dashed their heads on the deck. Whilst laughing.
I beat you all by stealing their milk first, hehehehehehehehe….
“I was on the lifeboat. We were all on the lifeboats. Everyone was saved. But then there was a scream, the insane scream of the banshees. It was the Tories. They had brought their boats nearer to ours, and with an awful, sickening bloodlust, they rammed us. They had marked out the boats of the poor, the oppressed, of the *workers*, and were ramming them. We, the poor, were aghast. How could they be so cruel? The Tories’ eyes were wide now, wide with hate. They shouted with joy as the workers fell over the gunwalls and slipped into the icy water, sinking into the deep etc etc etc.” – Laurie Penny.
Note to Indy/Grudian: when LP gets sacked, you can hire me. I can write this shit in my sleep.
The Guardian are desperate for new, talented writers such as yourself, to make up for all the real journalists they’ve sacked.
I urge you to send in this piece for approval. I fully expect you to be an accredited Guardian ‘cybernet-source-truth-teller’ by lunchtime.
Obviously the pay isn’t much, in fact nothing. But then you need pay no tax, so it all balances out.
And you might get to be on the next Guardian advert.
I think its about starving Goldilocks being wrongly jailed for looting porridge and criminal damage to chairs at the three bears house.
Miss Penny survived? Well d–n it all! I knew there was something I forgot to do in all that kerfuffle!
If she wants to get her kit off good luck to the girl as her tits dont exactly droop to the floor.
English men are unbelievable. They spend all day talking about sex and all night too.
English women are no better.
The problem with having to write a weekly column is that it is quite hard to come up with something original each week. So they end up repeating the same stuff al la polly toynbee. Also thye usually are the type who despite claining to understand the poor in reality have had a good education or connections with rich parents who bail them out. They are just poverty tourists, notice how many do not live on the stockwell park estate or other rough estates in london and suffer the consequenses of the underclass.
++++++++
Why are there pockets of mass unemployment in London?
Shouldn’t they be unemployed somewhere cheaper?
Just last night I was telling Lord Lucan that Laurie is a dodgy writer. You only have to ask Jimmy Hoffa with whom I had dinner last week. He agreed with me that Laurie can’t be trusted, and Darth Maul also concurred.
The tag is loopy left. Well this latest one from Ken http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewgilligan/100151234/ken-livingstone-i-will-instruct-the-police-to-pursue-illegal-immigrants-less/ shows he is totally gaga.

I’ll keep an eye out for the repeat, and not watch that as well.

I really must get to grips with watching tv over the internet, then tell the Beeb I’m no longer financially sponsoring their smug self-righteous stupidity.

I would.

When will these mong like journalists put the greeny loons on the spot?
I’ve not heard one journalist ask a greeny today about how wind and solar power can provide ALL our power needs when both sources are so unreliable, neither source can produce energy that can be stored to be used at peak times and neither source can produce electricity when demand requires it.
Have you noticed they never have a proper electrical power distribution engineer on to explain the problems with this and that you’d have to load shed parts of the Country to prevent a total collapse of the national grid.
Someone should challenger the greens to make their favourite bum hole Brighton totally reliant on green power, cut it off totally from the national grid and see how they get on.
it confounds me how many left wing arseholes fetch up on this blog read the label idiots naw keep posting boys
Don’t worry too much as they are all closet capitalists.
Otherwise why would they be assisting Guido’s tills to sound Kerching!
As a left wing arsehole, I come here because it’s bloody entertaining, it doesn’t cost me a penny and left wing libertarians share contempt for all politicians with right wing libertarians.
Which explains why I sometimes find myself in agreement with you and other times do not.
One should not be too dismissive of the arsehole. It does a wonderfully reliable job and seldom breaks down.
Not now Cato!
I’m going for a pint.

Fuck me Guido, I don’t have virus notifications, but I switched to Firefox with Ghostry add on and you have twenty fucking three add bots. I know you want some money mate but for fuck sake you have more advertising shit than Facefuck.
you’ve probably installed the firefox add on – ‘Nonce-aware’
Check your error codes and it will say -
“A picture of Ed Miliband attempted to upload – Image removed for your safety and sanity.
Lefty troll alert – this page contains 127 left wing comments.
126 incomprehensible, hypocritical, patently unworkable and contradicting comments have been removed. One socialist comment from Jimmy remains as its quite amusing.
Your intelligence remains protected and own money secure.”
Don’t know why but I envisage Jimmy as a stocky bearded Glaswegian remedial school teacher who takes his charges down Sauchiehall Street of a night time for illegal tipples after which they drunkenly repair back down Union Street, over Glasgow Bridge and along Ballater Street, to the school’s computer room to run amok on this site. That would explain why they always turn up together.
I realise that this could be a gross calumny and that he may really be a minister at some nice church of the Wee Frees or some other improbably unthinkable calling.
G’night pal, whatever you are.

Just saw a clip of Mrs Blinky in the Commons blaming the government for Abu Craptada. Christ on a bike, she looked like she’d buried her face in a bowl of pancake make-up. Even a drag queen would balk at the amount of foundation she had on.
I thought she looked just lovely

Penny Dreadful on the 2010 Millbank student riots:

>two years too young to be in possession. I find that my teeth
>are chattering and not just from cold. “It’s scary, isn’t it?” I
>ask. The boy shrugs. “Yeah,” he says, “I suppose it is scary.
>But frankly…” He lights up, cradling the contraband fag,
>”frankly, it’s not half as scary as what’s happening to our future.”
Can’t see why anyone would think that sort of quote was fabricated.
Absolutely the last sentence was in fact:
“not half as scary as what Labour has done to our future”.
No this article is as truthful as you can get, I firmly believe that conversation really happened exactly as reported.
She completely made those comments up. If not the entire scenario.
16 year old kid worried about his future? Ha! As if. There’s a reason Moira’s toyboy is trying to get the voting age down to 16 in Fucking Scotland. Sixteen year olds don’t stop for one second to think about the consequences of their actions let alone worry about the future.
Laurie Penny is delusional and a liar. Read some of her articles about her part in the recent student protest. What a twunt.
Now children it’s bedtime, I really do believe that the average age in here tonight is 11, Now run along to bed, all of you ,Yes even you.
Do piss off Laurie, there’s a polar bear somewhere needs saving.
what’s to talk about she’s just a daft schoolgirl who sits on her rent book.lets not make her famous just for being stupid.
Pretty young woman who is probablay a lezza misguided by Maosist zi onist propaganda

Denis Macshame on Newsnight. WTF?
People still watch Newsnight?? WTF!
We’re still looking into the files.
Seems McShame has rented his garage to himself and billed you lot for the cash.
£200,000 +.
But seeing how you Tory scum are fucking about with our gold plated, super early retirement pensions, we’re going to do fuck all about it.

I’ve been wondering about that.
I think it’s just a shite late-1980s haircut, the sort of thing the ‘travelers’ (you know, the ones who wore the army-surplus green parkas with the West German flag on each arm) would carve onto their heads before hitch-hiking to Stone Henge once a year (and they stopped doing that after Dinah McNicol went missing).
Ah, German flag, revolutionary wannabe.. I knew it rang a bell.
Here’s a possible origin of the “Laurie Look”; she maybe regards herself as a ‘student martyr vs the Nationalsozialismus (aka the Tory Party)”.

Polyamorous? Does she fuck parrots?
See how in touch with the working classes I am? I even talk like them.
What is polyamorous? Does it mean you like plastic things?
Gosh how I envy your exciting, edgy life amongst the great and the good. Your opportunity to influence the public narrative and drive us even further down the path of bonkers, barmy socialist dystopia and multi-culti hell. How exciting it must be to be one of the cheerleaders of the great and noisy socialist mob spouting those same old words on the shared script and giving us old timers the benefit of your 26 years of experience and wisdom. Me, I’m just a boring old insurgent who wants to turn the tables as the socialist screw keeps tightening.
Penny Red isn’t a Johann Hari. I cringed at her spider-story on Comment Is Free (£80 an article), probably not for the reasons she intended (as it struck me as made-up bollocks) but her stuff is tame by comparison to the egregious Hari, or indeed Robert Fisk, perhaps the granddaddy of them all according to Private Eye.
Fair play to her, she was quick to acknowledge her book was a niche-interest political pamphlet, when she was poked over the use or attribution of quotes. It is not mainstream journalism, it is not Orwell Prize material, it is opinion column stuff with a fairly limited outlook and appeal, embellished a bit to jazz it up, same as most mainstream opinion column stuff, which tends to be boring and self-indulgent.
I think Labour’s Rachel Reeves has quite possibly the most annoying voice in politics, if not the world. She always talks in a monotone drone.
I reckon she came out of the same test-tube as Ed.
True dat. And she talks some serious bollocks with that voice.
Agree about her mournful voice but it’s a close thing with the uber affected voice of peston, which is probably like it is to hide its poshness.
And I bet peston eats in a very affected manner too.
Look boys, I speak the best bollox around here
I wonder how much of her £22,000 salary Laurie donates to charity? As a self-proclaimed socialist, surely she should only ask for a salary that is subsistence only? Isn’t a basic tenet of socialism that one’s wages only be “each according to his needs”? Doesn’t £22 grand leave too much expendable income for Laurie to make use of?
And does she live on a council estate so she can live among the people she claims to represent? Or does she live in a nice middle class area? A bit like workers champion Billy Bragg who lives in a mansion in an all white gated community near the sea.

A champagne socialist?
Or does she even live in the UK? Seems to be spending a lot of time in New York these past several months. If she’s living in New York, it’s on the Upper West Side, and the rent ain’t cheap. It’s the native habitat of what the Yanks call “Limousine Liberals,” their term for Champagne Socialists. They’d assume she was intelligent because of her “delightful” English accent, and ask her for all kinds of fashion tips, seeing as she comes from “edgy” London. She would not be allowed to pay for a drink at any of the trendy wine bars there. They’d ask her who all the “up-and-coming” bands in the UK are. And she might even encounter Ryan Gosling (and act stupid, again). Oh, she’s got to have a neat little racket going in New York when she’s there, I’m sure of it– why would she want to live in London, when she can so easily send copy via e-mail to the Independent? Look for her to spend even more time in New York, with the Presidential Election in November; she will undoubtedly feel the urgent need to report on what it all will mean to the future of Western Civilisation as only she can do. (“Remember, remember, the 6th of November!” or some equivalent horseshit.)
And maybe she’ll go for a stroll in Central Park one summer’s evening, because the warnings about doing so are just ‘conservative hysteria’.
And her remains get found by a dogwalker just after sunrise.

That has to be best rumour of the day that Ed may offer surprise EU referrendum , I dont even know who speaks for the EU on eds shadow cabinet , I mean there is political downplaying , but thats slightly different to non existant .
Fracking : being as it seems graphics make up for science these days , the words that tripped so effortlessly was , high pressure water sand and er Chemicals . Whilst I can see that shale gas fills a usefull energy void , I am a little surprised that there isnt another way of fracturing the shale that is less hassel , have they tried ultra sonic ?? plain hp pulsed steam ?? .
Lets hope that energy summit shines some light rather than burn money , I agree there may well be diversity , but that should be centred around more joined up thinking on waste as well as solar or wind or hydro , I can see it is tricky problem , but it is obvious that if you can try and use less , the more luxury you have in what you can do , in where and when you need it . To be honest even a summit is better than anything labour did . Perhaps we would be world leaders , if labour hadnt put so many students into , social sciences and media studies .

All white wedding cakes are racist.
I always knew them Swedes were racist. And turnips. And carrots.
Wedding cake? That has so upset me. I am a single gay divorcee hindu /budist and am affronted by all reminded of white weddings. Can I now sue for breach of human rights? Legal aid anyone?
Hi, my name is lackey, and today my job is to defend jack straw.
I get a lot of privileges for this and other work that I do on behalf of the labour party and other common purpose causes.
And it gives me a certain frisson when I think that all you insignificant little people pay me and, my kind, lots of money to be able to carry on the way I do.
Pay up and shut up.
Dear Evan,
I thought you’d like to know that Jesse Norman gave you a bit of a kicking this morning and basically ‘owned you’. It’s probably a good idea to have a better researched argument than simply spew up the Labour line of ‘evil Tories’. Or at least have plan B. Hate most of your work. No disrespect.

Its all so unfair. People don’t understand the pressures. As Foreign Secretary you are sitting in the FCO making all these decisions, decision, decisions. Should we paint the outside loo for the servants at the embassy in Harare or can it wait another 10 years? A new toast rack for Cairo – silver plate or stainless steel? Should we help kidnap a British Citizen and hand him off to Ghadaffi for torture? How can we wind up the French in the menu for the next Anglo French banquet? It all just gets lost in the blur of activity
“Should we paint the outside loo for the servants at the embassy in Harare”
I believe I’m right in saying that Harare is an outside loo.
Please do not forget that a French Socialist President wiped the floor with your so called Iron Lady when it came to negotiating the contract for that Tunnel.
The bottle of whisky under the table is one of the oldest tricks in history and she fell for it hook line and sinker .
It cost the British taxpayer a bundle .
That bitch Thatcher only built the tunnel because she wanted to corral unemployed and impoverished Kentish people into it – mothers with their children, the elderly, the sick, I saw them all (whilst waving my baps in a nightclub in Folkestone) – and seal them in, forever, in a 23-mile long concrete sarcophagus. This is the inhumanity of the Tories. This is what they are.
Isnt it terrible that under Labour poor Laurie was forced to take off her clothes for a living but under the, in her view, evil, Tories to make a living all she now has to expose is her intellectual inadequacies.
Jack Straw to star in the “Rendition Man”.
Next, Tony Blair in “Lie while they die”.
Ed Balls and Ed Miliband to star in Dumb and Dumber
You could not make it up!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9210126/Jack-Straw-calls-for-FOI-act-to-be-rewritten.html
“Tony Blair, whose first Labour administration brought in the legislation, wrote in his memoirs: “I quake at the imbecility of it.” “
Is ‘it’ the FOI laws, or the Labour administration?
He was talking about Brown.
Is it just the bits that incriminate Straw that he wants re-written?
My party’s shite. Vote UKIP instead.
But that’s a vote for another pile of shite. Name another UKIP member apart from Farage – you can’t. Name a UKIP foreign policy – you can’t. So why vote for UKIP?
UKIP Foreign policy? Dead easy. That’s the only UKIP policy anybody would know off the top of their heads.
UKIP’s foreign policy is that the UK’s domestic policy not be dictated by the Europe*ans.
You should be a UKIP MP.
