My democratic outrage is now in abeyance. Apparently all stations closed because, er, today isn't Thursday. Clearly I need an early night.—

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
Nice to have confidence in BBC commentators.
it’s a good job this woman is not a real journalist
i guess she will use this as evidence of being worked too hard
What Ms. Flanders really needs is an early retirement, but not just to bed.
IDIOT, typifies the reason Women got the VOTE. What Fu-king Democracy. The Disney Land Democracy for Fools giving a mandate to the Political Elite who dont stick to their Manifesto AS THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE. We will be seeing a lot more. Democracy my Arse.
Increase your medication.
And here we have the BBC trying to blame our boom and bust on King and the BoE instead of Gordon Brown.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17935201
My comment:
“Surely you mean Brown’s boom and bust?The attempts of the BBC to distance Brown from all responsibility over his ‘willful blindness’ regarding the banks are becoming far too obvious.”
Indeed no mention at all of King alluding to the removal of powers froim the bank by the Maximum Imbecile in 1997.
No mention of the six months prior to the bailout when the banks and Mervyn were begging for loans to be made available. Nope. Brown, rather than lending the banks money at a commercial rate saw the opportunity to blame them for his economic incompetence. And took it.
Did King say that Brown’s deregulation in 1997 had left them powerless?
Indeed he does. Unmentioned by the BBC naturally enough.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/9242592/Sir-Mervyn-King-admits-BoE-failed-over-financial-crisis.html#disqus_thread
However, he claimed the Bank was hamstrung by the decision to move regulation to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in 1997 – a reform “that would return to haunt us”
Capitalist economy has been under attack for the last 30 yrs as the STATE has educated the fools to work for the Quango Cancers perpetrated on Private business and lives. Continual Deregulation of the banking system in the 80′s through to the new millenium
The Phoney WAR on Drugs the Wars in IRAQ and Afghanistan employing the hundreds of thousands in the PUBLIC sector with NO commercial benefit. UK Climate fraud and Energy Policy, the Over TAX of everyone and every private transaction. No wonder the country is Fu-ked, and as The State continue to pump up the PONZI scheme,. borrowing £480 million a day to prop it up. HOW the Fu-k do they think its going to get Better. Crazy economics from a Mentally broken economic system perpetrated on us by the out of control ELITE.
Poor girl. Now being mocked on Twitter by Jacki Smith of all people. The shame of it.
Was Jacki at her sisters?
The sad thing is for the rest of us – we all know that she would be voting RedKen or Green. It’s a pity when you just know who the BBC journalists want to vote for.
I know it is de-rigour to be a Socialist to be in employment with the BBC Steph, but go and have a lie down in a dark room somewhere.
Geeze, the quality of presenters these days!
Well she has shagged half the oppsiton bench
BBC News 24 this morning slagging off the Judiciary for all those unjustly long sentences meted out to the thieving, anarchist, property-destroying Rioters – sorry – I mean, VICTIMS, last year.
Another piece of left-wing social comment/propaganda in the guise of ‘news’. Only on your taxpayer-funded BBC.
The BBC – its grasping fingers always on the nation’s pulse
Trying to please two Eds can take it out of a girl.
Never mind Steph..pop round for a cuddle!!
I thought only pensioners were the ones who do not know what day it is, looks as if there is hope for me yet, pensioners have one excuse though, each day seems very much the same as every other.

@BBCStephanie
Just tried to vote Labour. My polling station, in Hammersmith, had closed two hours early. Has anyone else had same problem?
Steph’s calendar is just about as accurate as her “economic” reporting. She should be put out to grass along with all the other useless bird-brain bimbos who haunt the news desks at the BBC.
The poor girl has never been quite right in the head since her early sexual traumas at the hands of the Milibands and Ed Balls. She needs sympathy and counselling.
She fucked ED BALLS? Please say this isn’t so. I heard about the Miliblands, but this is a legover too far, as well as backing up Guido’s suspicion that she isn’t quite the sharpest harpie in the BBC gene pool.
Yep – her “lady garden” is like the water around the Belgrano 30 years ago yesterday – swimming with enemy semen.
Put it back, you bad boy, or I’ll send Granny round with the cheese grater!
Bang on her reports are dire, ranging from the obvious to obsolete in equal measure. The BBC reporting on economics generally is very poor even Channel 4 do better!
Pity she wasn’t the daughter of the other half of the partnership so that the headline could have read Swanning About Yesterday
Is there anybody at the BBC who hasnt got a famous Dad ?
Liswen you wite wing c*nt wwen me and Gweg Dike were there you wudnt have got away with dwibble wike dis
Of course not even what passed to ‘social mobility’ 30 years ago has now ended. The elites have ensured that all the key parts of the media, politics and finance are within a small circle of familes and their fuck buddies. This applies even more so at the BBC
So now we know why she’s told us, as fact, at least half a dozen times, that the Euro crisis was finally solved. She’s as thick as fucking shit.
Just for the record – as the media appear to be telling us that all internet abuse is misogynist these days – I’m not calling her thick as fucking shit because she’s a woman, but because she’s thick as fucking shit.
Is “fucking shit” worse than ordinary shit?? I think we should be told.
Fucking shit is better.
Oi, that’s my line
What is?
No it’s not, it’s (SNIIIIIFFFF!) mine!!!! I’mback,I’mgreat,yesmypiecewillbeinontime,anditwillbegreat,brilliant,betterthanyouaskedfor,MrRusbridgerSIr!!!!!

Aye Frank, just like all them other “Paulinas” – hectoring, patronising fuckwits. Harriet harman is another prime example of the alumni they churn out.
The gas woman cometh
COMPLETE:
“It was on the Wednesday evening that Flanders tried to vote
…”
What a moron.
Most of us have been metaphysically fucked by the two Eds – this silly bint has literally had it happen to her.
Just been round to cast my vote for Boris. Hate Cameron but I think Boris has done a good job in London and is infinitely better than the whining, tax-dodging, divisive, identity politician that is Ken Livingstone
A lot of Londoners will be holding their noses today and voting for the man, not the Party. Minaret Hamlets will be voting both early and often and by post.
Round here Boris will win comfortably. I live in a Labour constituency but the local council is a very good Tory one.
I take it that none of your Councillors are up for re-election?
No – wouldn’t matter much. Council tax is low and services good
You must live in Wandsworth then My Lady.
I’m still pondering the implications of being metaphysically f*cked.
Is it that Ed Balls thinks: what it would be like to f*ck us all or is he thinking, “if there were anyone there, would I f*ck them ?”
Quite likely he turns over and Yvette gives it to him hard with the strap-on.
Who on earth will the BBC’s very own “two Eds” be voting for we wonder?
A true mystery
They will most probably spoil their papers with the extra large crayola crayons they use
I think the term is not will but have. As they will have both been up early after pissing in bed
Would that be spent with Balls, Miliband or another of your Labour Luvvies?
Is she really a journalist – can’t tell the date or time?
It does that to people
She’s proof that Twitter is for Tw*ats.
Even Guy Fawkes has one!
The BBC’s economics editor. Jesus Christ.
An interesting thought. However, given the state our economy was left in, he’d be better redeployed at the Bank of England, the Treasury or the NHS.
Look, the impossible I do at once, miracles take a little longer. But fix the NHS? You gotta be f*cking kidding.
I fix NHS no wukkin furries like I fix China on Long March
Her economic forecasting is just as accurate.
I am sure most of us have woken up thinking it was a different day to what it actually was!
And still thought it at eight o clock at night?
To be fair as she works for the BBC she probably didn’t get up until 8pm
And then had a liquid breakfast.
Followed by a few lines of co*ke.
She was on The Apprentice You’re Fired.

Its a good job Stephanie Flanders is in a job where being a total fuck up doesn’t matter
True.Out here in the real world, not knowing the day of the week is a short cut to bankruptcy.
In the BBC , it makes you economics editor.
King apologises for mistakes
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/9242592/Sir-Mervyn-King-admits-BoE-failed-over-financial-crisis.html#disqus_thread
so why are we and not him paying for them?
The Maximum Imbecile does get a couple of mentions…
However, he claimed the Bank was hamstrung by the decision to move regulation to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in 1997
and…
In a veiled attack on Labour and the FSA, he also revealed that he had pushed for a major recapitalisation of the industry in early 2008 but been rejected because “it wasn’t a popular message”.
“From the beginning of 2008, we at the Bank began to argue that UK banks needed extra capital – a lot of extra capital, possibly £100bn or more,”
The BBC, because of the unique way it’s funded, didn’t think these little tit-bits worth rep*eating.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17929120
When I am
CalphatePrime Minister I will ban the word hamstrung as it is Haram. It shall be replaced by HalalchickenstrungWBA will be known as West Bromwich Halaalbion
Football!! – do you think that will survive? It will be one of the first to go, right after education for women, wearing glasses, and clitoris’s
GG of course appearing on daft shows like big brother will be banned as it gives free publicity to attention seekers
I think a turncoat, mass murderers’ ars.e kissing bitc.h like you George should be ham strung up. You traitor.
Ill put you down as a maybe then
Because we’re not allowed to criticse central bankers or the monetary system. It’s the elephant in the room.
I thought Tom Watson was the elephant in the room?
You couldnt make it up !
Rescind his Knighthood.
Do what you like with the knighthood but for christ’s sake don’t touch the pension
Yep. That’s why he kept his gob shut. he knew that no matter what he did. Shout from the rooftops, resign in horror, whatever – that Brown and the Labour machine would simply trash his reputation, steal his pension on some pretext or other and then ship in some other gimp like ohhh, David Blanchflower to rubber stamp the imbecility.
King figured it might as well be him with the pension, knighthood, after-dinner speeches etc etc as Blanchflower.
+1
brilliant.
but the media are talking about the tories loosing up to a 1000 seats in the local elections,
What the fuck is wrong with the people.
Like you, most of them don’t know the difference between ‘loose’ and ‘lose’.
Ah well, not to worry, it won’t make the slightest bit of difference 100 years from now {old song you probably never heard of}.
Isn’t ‘Twitter’ marvellous. It allows folk to proclaim their idiocy in real time.
It certainly does. These self-regarding pompous twats think that the world hangs on their every word.
Reading some of the shite on here in real time from know alls, also allows for the same result!
Think before you Tweet, now The Flanders Mare might have to engage brain before she sounds off.
She’ll never live this down.
How can viewers believe a word she says knowing she’s so useless.
Baaaaaaaa
Too many tweets make a twat.
Good to see she’s still getting her brains fucked out on a regular basis.
One doesn’t think she had any brains to fuck out in the first place. Stupid bitch.
She certainly sucked mine out
She could have sucked your brains out with a pipette.
and your adenoids by the sound of it
Knuckle head + plasma brain!!!
Ken will appreciate her vote.
Inshallah.
When I win, I will implement the new core Labour policy of putting female genital mutilation clinics in every borough.
I hope Stephanie will show her approval by being the first to walk through the doors.
Doors = flaps.
Shouldn’t think too many people would be that interested anyway, after Flying Spittle Ed had emptied his Shadow Chancellor up ‘er, in my opinion.
Didi she remember to swallow on time?
Not sexist – frankly they wouldn’t do rubber gob Ed either.
I voted on Tuesday
We voted by post.
2 hour queue?
Good job she doesn’t do anything important, like being a journalist or accountant or telling people how Liebour “invest” and the unconned us and the Libs*ites “squander”,.
I get the day wrong for my doomsday predictions all the time, but confidently predict one for Ken today.
Too far, Too fast
Was that you or her?
I always thought it rather odd that during sex with Steph she called me Tintin!
Ed Milibland gets confused when having sex with his wife and she keeps saying “Justin” – he thinks she’s reminding him about her name but she’s telling him it is “just in” ..I’ll get my coat !
Flanders to Balls: “I do love a bit of finger first, Ed but you might have taken your signet ring off’” Balls: ” But that’s my Rolex.”
This Mr Akbar has a lot of cousins living at the same address. 2,452 of them, all voting by post.
I warned you all.
Shhhh! Be quiet! It’s only the subversion of democracy. Your vote now counts for nothing, so go back to sleep.
You certainly did! Now the message is being sent out loud and clear to the white majority (for how much longer?) – accept multiculturism or else the law will be down you like a ton of bricks.
I’m free.
And didn’t we all laugh? Not laughing now.
If she doesn’t know which day it is, then no wonder she can’t remember us (and herself) being screwed by Liebour. An ideal person to fit the BBC leftwing fantasy world.
I wouldn’t mind popping my ballot paper in her slot. Oooooh errr missus……!
Like a “Banana up and down Piccadilly” as they say, if it’s as big and sloppy as her socialist mouth.
BORIS said Who do i vote for
I can’t vote.
A new word thanks to Steph. “Flandering” Definition : Labour luvvie without a clue.
like many of the political and economic correspondents at the BBC- she’s probably Conservative. Nick Robinson, Andrew Neil…..(I could go on) ..
Best joke of the day Anonymous. It’s the way you tell em.
I wonder who Aba Qatada will be voting for
Why does Robert Peston always extend his enunciation of certain words in an irritatingly mannered way? Something like “There cooould be problems fooor the coalition”. I noticed it when he reported on the committee report on Murdoch. Affected twat.
It’s nice that people with disabilities can get a job and contribute to society but I can’t help feeling that, with a disability like his, if his dad wasn’t a Labour peer he’d be sewing mailbags or collecting trolleys at Tesco’s carpark.
I cant beweive you said that
If he was really in the special educational needs bracket, he’d be on the Opposition front bench.
Maybe because someone has their arm up his arse working him
Gockle of Geer
You called
I am pleased to report that his ridiculous voice hasn’t been heard here for a very long time. Alert State Red operates at the first hint of his participation in a programme (“And now, over to Robert Peston”) and my lightning reaction (the only one I have, but finely tuned and frequently exercised in his honour) comes into play, and he is barred from my hearing even before he’s started drawling down the nearest microphone. If I never achieve anything else, this ludicrous clown of a reporter has been erased from my otherwise miserable life, and long may it remain so.
Simple, he comes on tv, tv goes off,
Pass the mind bleach!!!
Liiiiiiiikewise here
Not as bad as Moira Stewart and her gueeeeeeriiiiiillas – and no I don’t mean her girlfriends.
Probably to give his brain a chance to catch up with his gob.
In some circles around the Westminster village Steph is known as the Shadow Chancellor’s adviser.
I thought she was known after the secret informant who provided information to Bob Woodward of The Washington Post in 1972 about the involvement of United States President Richard Nixon’s administration.
If you change your mind
I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
No thanks. You left a nasty taste.
Kinda lingus, doesn’t it ?
Just for Steph, and indeed Fatbot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJYRJhopcy4
You’ll be singing along, trust me!!
Jo Coburn is far more MILFY than Stephanie.
Caroline Flint floats my boat but I don’t support Labour. Do I need help?
yes
Buy my lucky heather and I’ll put in a good word.
Quisling, you should’ve gone to SpecSavers! Flint is a howling hound that fancies herself enormously. Could never be that desperate.
As for Jo Coburn! Bring back Jenny Scott… fondly missed!
Jenny didnt fit in at the BBC
Can you guess the two reasons why?
Always thought she talked complete bollocks.
Now I know why- she doesn’t even know which day it is.
This is another great day for those of us who don’t pay the license fee. Because we know our wages aren’t being confiscated to pay her wages.
BBC FILTH
Vote early. Vote often.
Premature election?
I’ve been voting all week, for Kent peace be upon him.
Jesus christ, does she work from her wardrobe or something?
Does it occur to her that were polling day yesterday, there would have been wall to wall coverage within her own organisation (with lots of tacit support for Ken of course, Kate Silverton acting-the-news with ‘concerned’ stock expression when stating that Boris is doing well).
Thick cow. Mind you, she’s had the jizz of the two Eds up her; bound to rot the brain.
Please don’t mention the jizz of two Eds.
It’s making me feel queasy.
To be fair the wall to wall coverage for Ken has been going on for several weeks now so Polling day would not appear any different than any other during this time
SF would appear to be far more reasonable and self-aware than most of your targets
I suppose. At least she acknowledged she got the date wrong. If it was Brown he’d be insisting that all our calenders were wrong and he was the only one who was right.
Brown would have passed emergency legislation to amend all the calendars. May would now be the only month to start with a -1
…after smashing up some phones and a printer or two, and manhandling his staff…
Ah, the good old days!
He would have voted for himself and declared it a clear mandate to carry on as PM
yes – exactly
Hmm would have thought Steph [gives Ed ]Flanders would have posted her vote for Kenny in ? maybe the BBC are working on a ‘shock Boris election fraud’ byline for the loser!
We is already voted for Imam Ken, may his tribe multiply. Imsh’allah.
Has your mate Qatada voted yet?
Alluha Ackbar………Tower Hamletistan has fallen to the glory of Islam!!!!
Thanks very much. We’ll put yours with the 125% of the turnout we rolled over from last time.
What a fucking idiot.
as big an idiot as one thatuses your sign in?
In this modern age I find it truly amazing that any woman should not know what day of the week it is.
I am constantly linked to my electronic devices and know exactly what is being done to me every minute of the day and night.
I too my dear am constantly linked to my electronic devices – via the ankle
I love her, and love the fact that she can be so honest in her self-deprecating follow-up tweet.
Are you guys trying to tell me that you’ve NEVER EVER got days muddled up, you’ve never put the wheelie bins out on the wrong day, you’ve never tuned in for PMQs only to realise it’s not wednesday, you’ve never woken up in a panic thinking you’re late for work and then realised it was Saturday?
Gimme a break…it’s so easy for everyone to say “what a fucking idiot” etc
Personally, I find her tweet to be quite amusing…outrage about polling stations being closed followed by the McFly moment that, duuhhhh, it’s not thursday.
Of course, if it was Yvette or Harman who had done this, I’d be one of the first ones to say “what a stupid kaaaaaaa’nt”….so maybe it’s actually cos I like Stephanie….
now I’m all confused…
Stupid to get the day wrong, stupid to tell everyone how stupid she is and ignorant as to the fact that the staff in polling stations keep right on to the bitter end and don’t clear off early.
So, another thicko journalist called Stephanie employed by the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation. Must be the name – the BBC’s Business presenter Stephanie McGovern on the Breakfast Programme is just as thick – and sounds it with her ghastly accent. Mind you, she’s in good company with the anodyne Turnbull and the mentally challenged Susanna Reid (she of the plunging necklines and rising hemlines). Thank God the idiotic Williams creature decided to stay in London for the sake of her family.All part of the general dumbing down by the BBC.
She looks like a Klingon. You won’t catch Fiona Bruce frowning with all that scaffolding holding up monging pus!
Ms Flanders who has the small ball bag, Millipede or blinky?
BBC FILTH
Is it Thuwsday or Fwiday?
I can’t remember Mervyn, did we quantitatively ease together or not? If not I’m free tomorrow, or yesterday if you would prefer to come then.
you don’t spell come like that
Or even spill it.

She’d better not get anywhere near my Tone again, or I’ll slobber all over her reputation.

Sir Mervyn King said a lot during his BBC The Today Lecture – did he actually say sorry?
Well, her reports are all shite. Thankfully we now have confirmation of that.
at least japan pearl harbour only got the hour wrong
Ms Flanders figures very highly on my list of top totty, so I will not hear a word against her, even if she works for the BBC. I can’t understand why she stays at the Beeb – far too intelligent and probably has to bite her lip every time some cretin autocue reader asks her to explain what quantitative easing means.
Did you really just claim she was ” far too intelligent”?
Me and Stephanie have been trying to arrange a lunch date for some time now but for some reason we keep missing each other.
Stephanie Flanders should have voted in Tower Hamlets, Polling Stations have been open all week & they still have plenty of spare ballot papers!
Silly boy.
If Ned Balls or Ned Miliband had made an honest woman of her could we now call them Ned Flanders?
I turned up for work at the BBC but I found that the Tories had closed it down in 2014. Anyone else had this problem?
Ha!
I would though.
