All In It Together
The Tories are very keen to push the comparison between the number of meetings held between Rupert Murdoch and various Prime Ministers, specifically within in the first two years of their premierships:
Tony Blair became Prime Minister on 2 May 1997. By 1 May 1999, he had met Rupert Murdoch 7 times:
1 June 1997 – Meeting
2 September 1997 – Meeting
13 November 1997 – Lunch
29 January 1998 – Meeting (with Mark Booth)
12 May 1998 – Meeting
21 January 1999 – Lunch
21 January 1999 – Dinner (with Gordon Brown, Irwin Stelzer and Les Hinton)Gordon Brown became Prime Minister on 27 June 2007. By 26 June 2009, he had met Rupert Murdoch 13 times:
6 October 2007 – Meeting
6 October 2007 – Dinner (with Sarah Brown and JK Rowling)
29 October 2007 – Lunch
22 January 2008 – Lunch
16 April 2008 – Meeting
6 June 2008 – Dinner (with Wendi Murdoch and Sarah Brown)
15 June 2008 – Dinner hosted by Gordon and Sarah Brown for around 36 people including Wendi Murdoch, President Bush and Laura Bush)
16 June 2008 – News Corporation Summer party and dinner afterwards (with other members of Murdoch’s family and Sarah Brown)
25 September 2008 – Dinner hosted by Mayor Bloomberg
26 September 2008 – Meeting
13 November 2008 – Meeting
13 January 2009 – Breakfast
13 June 2009 – The wedding of Rebekah Wade to Charlie Brooks (also attended by David Cameron)
22 June 2009 – Reception for Lord Paul
26 June 2009 – Dinner (with Sarah Brown and Lord Paul)David Cameron became Prime Minister on 11 May 2010. As of 26 April 2012, he had met Rupert Murdoch twice and attended two social occasions with him:
18 May 2010 – Meeting
21 July 2010 – Dinner or meeting
16 June 2011 – News Corporation Summer Party
20 June 2011 – Times CEO summit dinner
Interesting, and we all know they were all up to their necks, but had the scandal not blown up in July 2011, do we really think Dave’s number of meetings would have stuck at four?
so Gordon DID Kiss Murdochs arse then!
Labour are at war with Murdoch. Labour have always been at war with Murdoch.
This is very old news.
The BBC has been all over this for… er…
The huge difference is that Dave kow towed to the Murdochs demands re Ofcom and the BBC whereas Brown very publicly did not. Shame on you Dave.
Now show the amount of meetings with Rebekah Brooks…
26 meetings in two years sounds like an awful lot of Brownarse licking by the unbalanced one to me. Dave had 4 in 12 months.
Do the maths.
Blair and Brown kowtowed very publicly (err, sorry…they kept that donation quiet – I wonder why?) to Bernie Ecclestone for the £1million he bunged their party to delay the F1 fag-ad ban in Europe. Remember that one? Obviously, at the time Tony still had his halo and Gordon had not yet been revealed as the deranged fuckwit some of us always believed him to be (and have since been proved 100% correct). The funny thing is the moronic UK public voted the same corrupt lying bastards in twice more to really make sure future generations were screwed every which way.
The problem is, and Cameron is himself too fucking stupid to see it, the BBC has the ultimate control over the average thicko in the UK with their churning out of blatant bias, and the organisation should be either exorcised or nuked from orbit. Otherwise the dumbed-down idiot brigade will put Labour back in 3 or 8 years down the line to dig the hole the country is in even deeper. As they do every fucking time.
Andre Neil, Nick Robinson and Ian Hislop all overtly pro tory. (Though Hislop seems to be toning it down these days).
Robinson?? Have you been at the wine gums again?
Just heard that Clegg has said that Levinson is more appropriate to deal with Hunt than the ministerial code. Clegg should do away with the pretence and stand as a Tory at the next election.
Just kidding, I want the Tory’s to actually win, but win standing on a record of integrity, with Britain’s interests at heart and with policies that actually work.
PS Wendy Deng looks hot for her age. I wouldn’t say no.
If the Levinson enquiry was not taking place, what structures do we have in our democracy to get to the truth in this matter?
Errr the Ministerial Code ?
Nor would I!
(Re: Wendy Deng that is).
Murdoch’s cosy relationship with Labour has “unhappened.” The Party tells me so.
It’s a disease called Socialist Alzheimer’s – forgets everything before 2010.
BBC is more dominant than than Sky. Time for it to go, no matter how scared politicians are of the BBC.
How was Cable’s action different from Hunt? It was the inverse was it not? He wanted to destroy them, like his mate Gordon Brown, he was caught out in a sting. So why was he not sacked????????
Exactly during our years in Government we simply “Mis-met” with the evil Murdoch Empire
“Labour have always been at war with Murdoch.”
apart from when his papers supported them.
labour are at war with people who don’t vote for them
You’er either with them or against them
He did more than that, he licked it clean.
Each time you think Gordon Brown has plumbed the maximum depth of incompetence, sleaze and cronyism along come new revelations to ensure his place in history as the worst leader Britain has seen since King Harold II got done over in 1066.
One eyed English idiot
True.
But you have to admit Harold had fought a full scale battle a few days before the battle of Hastings (and won) at Battle he repulsed the First Norman charge, he had given orders to his men to hold the line and not chase the retreating Normans, but the ponkers thought they had the Normans on the run so chased after them the rest is history. Do not compare Pa Broon to Harold
“We’re well placed to weather the invasion”
“I’m getting on with the job”
“It began in Normandy”
“I take full responsibility, that’s why I’ve sacked my chief swordsman”
Harold was actually a decent king. There have been far worse since – Stephen, Richard II, Henry VI, Mary just to name a few.
And that traitor Queen Anne who signed the Act of ‘Union’ between England and Scotland, the worst thing that ever happened to England until the post-WWII governments and all the crap they’ve poured over England.
Or Henry VIII ,the Robert Mugabe of his day
And there I was, thinking I had the competition clinched, what with wanting to kiss the Reichskanzler’s arse, and marrying an adulterous hermaphrodite…silly me.
Didn’t anyone think to warn Rupert that Gordon is a Jonah?
Rupey has bigger magic that Jonah
McRuin’s epic meltdown is explained now, by the amount of crawling and arselicking the loon put in, to get NI approval. He probably bragged about ‘how close’ he was to Murdoch, to any who would listen, only to be rejected just before the GE. Labours synchronised ranting is even funnier now than then. What a bunch of tossers.
Nothing there about Bliar’s meeting between 1999-2007. Or did those diaries get shredded along with Bliars expenses.
I only ask because it would have been interesting to see what was going on in the months before Iraq 2 – particularly who placed the ‘Britons 45 Minutes from Doom’ story in the ‘Sun’ – was it a certain Mr Campbell?
Are you saying that it’s OK for Dave because Labour did it? Would it be OK for Dave to kill 6 million Jews because Hitler did it? That line of reasoning saddens me intensely.
I am sure I heard a news item late last night on Radio 4 in which the amount of meetings between Blair and Murdoch was given as 31 . Did anyone else hear this ?
Should help his case if he pleads insanity, then!
he has clearly demonstrated his insanity at least twice.
Even if you only make comparisons with the first 13 months of Blair and Brown, Dave still met him less often.
Murdoch is getting old. Maybe he’s just bored with meeting British Prime Ministers. I would be.
This blog runs on gossip, tittle-tattle and rumour. Facts bugger it up.
Is this the caption comp?
If so, Rupe is saying to the other one “We must stop meeting like this”.
why does Gordon Brown diarise it when he has dinner with his wife?
So he can prove it’s a legit marriage, with out the smell of lavender.
It’s quite a rare event.
Even rarer now, what with Canterbury being 376 miles away from Kirkaldy.
Kirkcaldy.
It’s quite a rare event.
Even rarer now, what with Ca*nter*bury being 376 miles away from Kir*kaldy.
WTF is wrong with Ca*nter*bury? No raas n legumes.
It was Sue’s fault
Because he hasn’t yet grasped the concept of Facebook.
Does “diarise it “ mean something other than ‘put it in the diary’?
It’s just there’s something about your name…
eh?
You can now get extra strength Immodium for that.
For the same reason he shook her hand when she joined him on stage. Any normal couple would have a little hug and a peck on the cheek. Weirdo !
Anybody left on the Planet that has not accepted an invitation/invitations from Rupert Murdoch?, we should be told.
me!
and me.
Me to, never even a sniff of one !!
I’m 70 years old and have travelled the world quite extensively, but I can honestly say I have never ever not once anywhere met anyone named Rupert. In fact the only Rupert I ever knew of was a character who wore check-patterned trousers in a newspaper cartoon strip. Clearly the world has passed me by!
At current rates we can double the debt in seven years time.

More debt = more growth, listen to Barry.
Well said Ed, add in a few million immigrants and the building programme to house them will kick start the construction industry, then retailing, and therefore the economy. Just come and look at the model I have created with my ‘boys’ in Portsmouth and you will understand again how to do it. In these difficult economic times the only hope for the future is a constructive alliance between the public sector, immigration and organised crime. You already did it when you were in power, we are still doing it in Portsmouth. Boaz.
Robert Mugabe and Goodluck Johnathan. Go for it Handy, our hero, our inspiration and our model for the future. We love you, what would we do without you to show us the way ahead. Jahbulon.
Hi there Handy – This story of our Prime Minister in trouble for meetings with Murdoch reminds us a bit of the story of your dinner with Gordon Brown, Sir Fred Goodwin and some of your boys in Portsmouth’s Guildhall just a few years back. Somehow they all managed to keep that one out of the papers. Was that when you cooked up the agreement on asylum seekers which has proved so profitable for some of the boys in Portsmouth?
Gideon is trying his best
4 meeting in 1 year v 13 in 20 months.

Bugger.
Leiber is pathetic.
After seeing Twatson on Brillo’s show [I notice Brillo didn't give the fat shyte a hard time - maybe Twatson is holding something over him] and after listening to Chris [dirty undercrackers] Bryant, to mention just two ‘tards, I don’t care if the whole of their stinking party get bits of le*ds in their left ears. I just detest them.
An expression involving “enough rope” springs to mind…let us hope so, anyway. Tom Watson’s just that kind of fellow anyway, you would figure.
dont worry when he feels its warranted he will skewer fatboy like he did abbott
Of course he didn’t give Twatson a hard time. When was the last time any Liebore person got a hard time from the BBC?
John Humphries got a hard time this morning when he tried to kebab Gregg Cunningham on the abortion issue.
Listen on iPlayer:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01ghdng/Today_27_04_2012/?t=1h35m
Pure Radio Gold – he skewered Humphries.
Not quite sure what your point is, Guido. Why don’t you give it a rest and go and have some more pies?
Quite right. We too see no need to mention Blair and Brown’s meetings with Murdoch.
Liebour would like to airbrush out all their meetings and dealings with Murdoch AND the bankers.
“I would like to pay tribute to the contribution you and your company make to the prosperity of Britain,” Mr Brown told Lehman bankers in London’s Canary Wharf . “During its 150 year history, Lehman Brothers has always been an innovator, financing new ideas and inventions before many others even began to realize their potential.”
We should never let these hypocritical socialists toads off the hook.
Prezza and Pickles have eaten them all
I spy a lesser (very) spotted fcktard. DoI get a choccy bikky?
How many times did the PM’s meet the BBC/Guardian/Daily Mail/Telegraph Editors & owners? – lets put it into context.
I think you will find that the media outlets you have named, have not recieved anything like the raging hatred that is reserved for NI, by the Labour hypocrites, who used to regularly suck Murdoch cock, before he jilted them.
Exactly , Labour under the direction of Brown who operates Watson from behind , are acting like an embittered ex who has been dumped by a former lover.
Bitter hypocrites, two words that sum up Liebore pretty well.
Quite so. You would think the Leveson Enquiry was being held purely in order to destroy NI from the way it is being conducted.
I have always equated NI with Northern Island, not News International. I did know that, I certainly get confused these days.
Damn good point. One which the Gweed will no doubt ignore.
I’m free for a kitchen supper and have forgotten a whole lot of things. What’s on the menu and how much?
At the end of the day, this administration is still spending too much time on its media relations, even if that is caused by Leveson, and not enough time on governing. Pickles has failed to reform local government or get a hindle on town hall corruption and over spending. There is no sense of direction as to how the economy is going to grow, energy policy is a mess, the EU continues to bleed us dry, as does the foreign aid scandal. The public sector is still over-bloated and still wasting money like a leaky pipe owned by Thames Water.We are still stuck in a wasteful and pointless war in Afghanistan and I worry about the invasion-levels of immigrants placing ever more strain on public resources and changing the culture of the country. I care less about Murdoch than I do about those things.
Excellent points!
Take something really simple:
Labour introduced postal votes on demand, so that its supporters in the Asian muslim community could vote several times over, even if dead or in Karachi.
Why hasn’t the new Government put an end to that third world level of voting abuse?
Quite right. Ban postal voting completely – even for those serving the Crown overseas (military, diplomatic etc). If you can’t get to your polling station with appropriate ID, you don’t get to vote. End of…
My birthday is in May. Elections are frequently in May. I never work on my birthday. I often go overseas to celebrate. I Never Not Ever vote Labour.
If someone or some group is into election fraud, jail the bastards. I want to vote and I dont want to go to fuck@ng Bethelehem to do it.
Really not sure about that, they also know that the BBC is skewering them left, right and centre, day after day. Cameron chooses to do nothing about either. I can only guess that the twat is so arrogant he thinks the second term is there as a right. We will all be less than surprised when Labour win and UKIP beat Liberals.
I’ve said it before:-
F**king amateurs the lot of them.
Wendy looks mean and hot. Is that what this thread is about?
As the Ausies say, they like ‘em spunky.
We seem to have the same discerning eye (see below posted without sight of your post.)
Do NOT tangle with Wendy if you value your hide
To be fair, you have left out the one on Elizabeth’s and Mathew’s yacht off Santorini, BEFORE and at which it was decided that Dave would be the next PM!
Oh, in exchange for the BSkyB nod through.
Wendi looks particularly hot in that photo – yet no Tottywatch.
Now, what is this about?
Not good enough for you, eh?
Look. I’m not as rich as Rupe…
Look!
That worked! He/She’s gone.
Why else would anybody want anything to do with you?
Also Cameron hired Coulson. Plenty of dinners with Brooks too.
Of course these were recorded, weren’t they? Cammers well and truely cocked it up when he hired the toxic Coulson. Has Brooks got some other relationship besides business, she seems Teflon® coated, Teflon breaks down when the temperature gets hot 450C
The F was tweeted on the Nokia
..fucker Gordon
I know “U” are, but what am I?
Looks like the phone was ripped from her hand and thrown across the room before she could finish.
Decidedly non-U.
I suppose these are the RECORDED meetings not actual, Tone was always jetting off to the USA to receive his orders, Cameron had a meeting where Murdoch went via the back door or whatever, still Pa Broon leads the field!
If you want to judge my thinking look at Pippa’s bum.

Let’s face it, football and football players are not known for intelligence.

Why is there an eight year gap between Blair and Brown meeting Murdoch ?
It proves an awful lot if analysed properly.
”specifically within in the first two years of their premierships:”
PS What is Shane Warne doing in the picture?
You couldn’t analyze your own naval fluff Gary.
That should of course be navel, don’t want to confuse you Gary.
the number of meetings held between Rupert Murdoch and various Prime Ministers, specifically within in the first two years of their premierships:
Why specifically the first two years?
That’s a load of bollocks and designed to prove something that the following three years probably would do better.
To be fair or unfai to either murdoch, blair, brown or cameron requires a full term each of observation.
I would suggest that it is more unfair towards cameron than any other and that must be unfair.
BTW, how’s your mate Tristram Сuпt doing?
Because Dave has only been in the job for two years and Guido is comparing like with like.
leave Trissy alone you rottters.
I note the lovely Christopher Kelly is out and about today, moralising as ever. I have no problem whatsoever that he is a member (paid) of the advisory board of Ultrasis Plc, a company that is very largely a supplier to the Health service (cf Kelly career), never pays dividends, is notorious for the executice bonuses (indeed the shareholders voted against the Board this year, but the board says its just advisory and pay anyway).
I have heard some cry this is a tad hypocritical for the pure Sir Christopher, but not me….

Rupert’s openly admitted Cameron met him at least 7 times since he became PM so not sure where you’re getting 4 meetings from.
Scheduled meeting as opposed to being at the same event at the same time.
Not difficult.

Similar lists would show that the BBC’s John Burt practically moved in to No. 10 during Blair’s incumbency. His loyalty was later rewarded with a job in No. 10. Then Blair appointed Michael Grade, and his side-kick Mark Thompson, to replace Burt. Grade moved swiftly on once his asset-strippingsigned off and his nepotistic appointees in place. Blair rewarded Grade with a peerage. When Mark Thompson visited No. 10 shortly after the last election, nothing unusual I’d have thought – DG of state broadcaster meets new PM – the lefty press went absolutely berserk with outrage. Let us see lists of meetings between PMs and every other editor, news magnate, journalist and broadcaster over the last 15 years so we can make comparisons.
Exactly. The BBC has more to answer than NI
He was having a Nasi Goreng with eastern promise. Better than Peking Duck with a Singapore KaiTai

You must be thinking of Berlusconi.
It all happens offshore, Dave’s mate “Fishy Fingers” Ross gets his girls around and Mat Fraud sorts his out, they all go off on the yacht Elizabeth F and bada bing! its; orgy time! Deals are done, prime ministers made, companies bought and sold.
On Teds Morning Cloud he yachted over to Jersey many a time – for many a secret rendevous avec les plus de jeune garcon. What dirty secrets of Ted’s are impossible to conceal anymore …
Who else might be a judged to have visited Jersey on his yacht too – on numerous occasions and for something sickly secret offshore?
Ted was a dirty dirty ‘compromised for all of his life’ disgusting man.
It all makes you quite (sea) sick, doesn’t it?
Dave if working very hard to look as if he’s thinking in that pic.
Murdoch question’s Brown’s state of mind. Surely that applies to all labour MPs, especially Miliband, Balls, Cooper and Harman.
So the point of this comparison is that Flashman required less direct supervision?
Yes, he was clearly already housetrained by experts. It is remarkable what high pitched whistle and controlling the police force will do for a trainer. Eventually, PMs will come to heel without reward or hand signals
So the original ‘failed’ Met investigation into phone-hacking at NI, which occurred under Labour and which was carried out by a politically appointed Labour police department is all Cameron’s fault? All this while NI was still supporting the Maximum Imbecile.
Whereas this Leveson enquiry, started by Cameron is entirely the good work of those seekers of truth at the Labour party?
Thank you for clearing up any confusion.
Did you intend thereby to tacitly admit the guilt of Blair and Brown?
Generous today, Jimmy.
I think he’s suggesting Blair and Brown are so stupid that they had to closely supervised. Hard to disagree with that. Too bad they weren’t even more closely supervised by adults.
So you think I can take his non-response as a yes, then?
You seem to be suggesting that it is ipso facto wrong for a serving PM to meet with a newspaper proprietor. That is certainly not my view.
hehe, Jimmy said ipso facto.
BBc’s relationship with Labour is the most worrying aspect. Most of this lot owe Labour their jobs.

One day late: £100
Three months late: daily penalty of £10 a day.
I always file in good time but dislike this fаscist approach. No wonder I don’t want to like in the UK any more. Do those of the religion of pеace all file and pay on time? Do the Ken Livingstones of this world?

Swansea’s own job creation scheme, that lot. Scrap the tax disc, put everything else online and oblige them to behave like true public servants (ie not flogging your details to any Tom, Dick or Wheelclamper). You could run it with 3 men and a dog and still have change for a pint of Brains.
Brains is from Cardiff not Swansea.
Anyway all you have to do is put 2p on the cost of petrol and you can scrap the car licence and blow up Morriston.

It is perfectly normal when the children of politicians and businessmen get on ever so well that the families get together in the middle of the sea in high summer.
Murdoch talks a good game of bollocks!
Perhaps they can do that in Pentonville some time soon?
Agreed – a good place to dispose of ‘problems’. Just ask that fellow who ripped off the pensions of all his workers, bought a football club, and went for a sail. Seems he forgot to put his deck shoes on though…
I really have no idea my dear fellow whether this is the reason or not.
The question tonight which really intrigues me is that after his plane visit to Egypt with a mix of businessmen ( a full list of whom is unavailable) does he still think that the Egyptians can handle democracy?

If you are interested in press freedom here is a great debate by Worldbytes, where volunteers consider the Counter Leveson Inquiry, a campaign launched by the online journal Spiked. Journalist Patrick Hayes challenges participants not to go along with the inquiry’s dangerous assumptions. He argues that free speech and a free press with no ‘buts’ are essential for democracy.
