Has Cilo Green got a new job teaching?
Politicians are public sector, they do no work, and are dangerously uneducated with their BA degrees in w*nker subjects. Without a private sector and taking money from it, there is no public sector.
Those that can, do. Those that can’t become politicians.
The private sector has had enough of the still ever expanding state.

Boris has got the right idea
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/borisjohnson/9263772/The-statist-defeatest-and-biased-BBC-is-on-the-wrong-wavelength.html
Boris is spot. BBC needs to be broken up and sold off. It is more of a worry than News Corp. The public would welcome the saving not to pay a TV tax. Even if you choose not to watch it you still have to pay- what other service has a charging scam like that?
I would rather believe Nadine Dorres than Camoron. As for Hague, never the same man since his personal life revelations- perhaps he owes a political debt?????? Either way Hague is a lost cause and is talking pro-EU rot.
Good analysis, bad solution. Should have said scrap the licence fee at the end.
Since when did William Hague look like Cee Lo Green
Get a new cartoonist
CY, how do you know little Willie does not think he is Cee Lo Green (whoever or what he is), he wore a base ball cap to appear groovy and with it
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/borisjohnson/9263772/The-statist-defeatest-and-biased-BBC-is-on-the-wrong-wavelength.html
Are you afflicted with a stutter?
‘DefeatEst’? The Daily Hellograph seems to have hired subeditors from the Gruniard.
Typical Sh-t it stinks, coming from the STATE apparatus that has over regulated over taxed everything so these Wank-rs can dip the TAX payers pockets till the PIP’s Squeak while the economy is collapsing. Put VAT up to help pay the Public Sector executive bonuses.
Have a good time over the Jubilee celebrations and make the most of the Olympics as it is our last due to the FREE Loading Profligate State Banking Ponzi Scheme
Work harder, peasants!!!

But is Guido on a blinkered BBC agenda?
A butch Willie Vague? Nah………….
Looks like a State School “SuperHead”, somewhere in murky caliphate London
Is this a proposal to privatise Parliament and government? Let someone like SERCO, G4S etc run it? The mind boggles!
MB I think if you dig far enough you might find that they have privatised them selves they are all working for a collective company the share holders of which are the major companies in this country and a few abroad, banks, media etc why do you think Broon when told to regularise controls he obliged and Cameroon has done nothing about it.
Oy! Do you mind?
The most dangerous graduates are those with Oxbridge degrees in Politics, Philosophy & Economics. They form the elite of the civil service and are responsible for decisions which even backward children wouldn’t come up with. To obtain such degrees you just need to fluently parrot the prejudices of your lecturers, since there is no objective truth in any of its 3 components.
+1
Politicians talk.
Yes, and while we’re at it I say lets privatise water, gas, steel and electricity too. The sooner we can privatise evrerything we can put a pricetag on the sooner we can get on with shifting all our infrastructure to sweatshops in the far East and the expanding gluttony of the boardroom feast can pluck another state run turkey and turn it into something that can serve me, me, me and fuck everyone else.
You don’t hear anyone in my sweatshops in China and Sri Lnka complaining. Because if they did I’d bloody whip the damn cheeky sods. Hah! None of that ‘human rights’ mamby pamby nonsense in my sweatshop. Pah! Sweatshops in China. Why we won the cold war you know. That, and so we could re-locate as many Russian billionaires as possible in South Kensington.
We need more billionaires hoarding cash and more of that passing our losses off onto the taxpayer caper where we can stuff our loot in offshore accounts and ship off jobs to other countries where they are less fussy about all that namby pamby human rights malarkey. Put a shotgun to their heads. Then they’ll soon get their arse into gear. Meurghhhh!
Ebenezer Scrooge, what a man! Good job we based a whole economic ethos around his genius ay? But why haven’t we chopped down all the forests yet? Ronald Reagan, the genuis of our times clearly stated that “Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do”. And we know he was never wrong. About anything. Genius you know. Man was an intellectual colossas.
That’s why we based a whole globalised economy around his wise words and those who made wuite a racket out of telling him what he wanted to hear. Just as well they did too. Where would the sweatshops be without him?
An outrageous statement. I do not have a BA degree in a w*nker subject, I do not have a degree at all. In fact I do not even have a single ‘O’ level. The Brotherhood is the best education you can get, if you wish to earn money. Boaz.
Is it Davros?
Elton John?
Backgrounds are getting better!
Shit Cartoon.
OK I give up. Who is it?
Is it a young Rupert Murdoch?
Hague is clueless
Another balding bisexual from the (once) Conservative Party telling people to do as you’re told and I’ll do as I like. Disgraceful
I am not balding! I’ll give you the bisexual bit, though.
UK economy destroyed by the Bank of England in cohorts with the politicians. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1q-QUd5qes
Not at all.
Like Dave, he’s very good at standing in front of people and making them laugh.
With some comedians they do not seem to say anything but the audience burst into peals of laughter just because they have a reputation of being “funny”
Moddy Botty has arrived at work
Brilliant.
Hague (vaguely recognisable if only by the hair, bravo) says we must work harder.
So you do a cartoon of Hague saying we must work harder.
Brilliant, R&M. Just brilliant. The labyrinthine connections in your comedic brains are a wonder of science and nature.
You may have missed the satirical bit about Hague himself enjoying another recess, although the timing is off and they are putting in an afternoon shift today, I see. The other satirical point was dressing Hague in black leather as a cartoon stereotype of a gay man.
Just like Norman Tebbit and Spitting Image did.
Work harder? Up here we don’t work and yet enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. We’ve got it off to a fine art if you need any advice.
Matt Dawson?
How he hasnt yet featured on ‘is-a-c***.com’, I’ll never know
Ah yes, the twat on the roller coaster with the word ‘Hague’ on his hat.
I think his name is ‘Mekon’
“Twats” don’t come into it, as we all know little Willie prefers a brown job.
Whether or not he bats for the other side, in my opinion he is still a twat. And a first class ocean-going Yorkshire twat as well.
So what, he’s a great fuck.
Er, how about you cut taxes and stop giving our money to 3rd world countries which have their own space program, and basket case countries which have no intention of paying their debts.
These notions are far too rational for the Palace of Westminster.
*BZZZT!* *BZZZT!* **DOES NOT COMPUTE** *MUST GIVE** **TAXPAYERS’ MONEY TO** **SPACE PROGRAMME IN INDIA** *BZZZZT!* **MUST GIVE MONEY TO EU** *MY BELOVED EU MUST BE SAVED** **AT ANY COST** **BZZZZT!**

You wake up on Monday feeling the week couldn’t get any worse. Then you face Skid and Mark.

Leave my dirty pants out of it
Fkng cheeky slaphead. We of ‘the working classes’ doing shit jobs for shit money doing manual labour have the ‘pleasure’ of working until we are 80 thanks to dickheads like Hague in Parliament/Government. O to have a job spouting bullshit and getting overpaid and expenses doing an easy job…
Tony Blair knows exactly what you mean!
Exactly what jobs has Haguey done since leaving university not those relating to working for Maggie and hanging around the HoC
If you were to ask any of his special advisers, they would tell you that he’s been very energetic.
In his “job”, or leisure activities
I’m sure Hague will give us a ‘blow by blow’ account….
Oooo, you are awful
Well, he worked for his parent’s soft drinks manufacturing business. and he’s written a couple of biographies, and he’s a Grammar school boy, unlike most on either front bench who have rich or well-connected parents. Otherwise he worked for Maggie and hung around the HoC….
Britain became the great nation it was from the hard work of biography writers.
No Britain has become the nation it has by savagely sinking its teeth into the welfare state and feasting in a gluttony gorgefest that ushered in a pretty bloody good party while it lasted. Well, for some of us anyway.
Didn’t realise there was any kind of responsibility to look after the interests of the people though. Don’t they realise they were only ever pawns to be shafted. Bring back slavery I say, that’d make things more cost efficient for big businesses.
I mean, things are getting so bad that we only have enough balugar caviar in our store cupboards for 4 centuries!!! I mean what the hell would happen if another meteorite struck tomorrow????? How could I be certain that my aristocratic lineage of 2450 AD would have enough supplies to see them through?
Perhaps if we just scrap the NHS completely and pioneer a new scheme to colonise Mars for billionaires just in case we could perhaps set a few minds at rest.
Just remember who has the balugar caviar stash Vague and remember it isn’t that almost proletariat in texture bile dished up at call me Dave’s and Samantha’s. Or as I call them, the lily softie wing of the party.
Until he invades France he’ll never prove he has a pair to me. He can’t get down and boogie like Vague either.
He wrote a book about one of the Pitts.
He worked as a drayman and drank 15 pints aday
He IS the pits, you mean.
If these cartoons aren’t funny
When you see them , why do they make you say ?
What a fucking joke that is
Oh the irony of a POLITICIAN, a person who by definition has never produced anything useful in his life, telling us to work harder.
Did he make this utterance after drinking his fourteenth pint of the day?
Are but 14th pint of what, water
you must be the only one here who is even less funny than Mark and Rich
I found it funny. Funnier than Mark and Rich that is. Whoever they are.
thank you dear sir, he was of the size that 14 pints would be nearly half the volume of his body
14th pint of young spad’s jizzum?
Thank goodness I wore my corset.
Is this “Thought for the Day” from little Bill? I suppose he has to justify his job and salary somehow.
He’s there because he’s there, he’s there because he’s there, he’s there because he’s there, because he’s there ……………………………..
I am totally enraged
ANY small company that has made it this far has only done it by hard work
Hague must be on industrial strength medication if he thinks we can work any harder
This statement by Hague will result as a recruiting drive fro UKIP, the only party who have any real sense of the problems th IK is in
I hate to say it but I am begining to think you are right
The mike would suggest he has a cartoon of Christopher Myers drawn on top of the podium.
Like all good comrades, I think the world owes me a living so sod working hard
Prime skill required of politician – know how to put foot in mouth.
An old adage from my past – don’t ask others to do what you’re not prepared to do yourself.
Quite. But would we want the useless tossers in Parliament working until we in the ‘lower orders’ do? To have these tossers in power in Parliament is quite frankly- terrifying.
Didn’t realise you had a past, Nell. Is it Sunday Sport stuff?
So I can’t ask a mechanic to mend the brakes on my car?
That interview with the silly little lefty chav boy and Rees Mogg was good yesterday
Any hard working, well briefed MP or Minister can easily ‘own’ Jones.
All he does is regurgitate rehearsed juvenile linked statements.
Thinking and arguing coherently is his big problem. For 16, the boy done good though.
The Euro is collapsing today, but my advice as the man who saved the world is to sell gold and buy Euro’s.
I am a genius.
Hague is 100% right for once. Why do British people believe we are the chosen people who have no real need to do much work? For years we have lived a life of self-indulgence with ever increasing spending on foreign aid, falling standards in education and the shite NHS. And we have done this through cheap imports from the Far East and BORROWING money.
This crazy period for us, Europe and the USA is fast drawing to a close. When are people going to wake up and smell the chicory?
Just as the Euro is doomed so too is the prodigal, lazy way of life for our Western civilisation, addicted to spending money, cheap oil and debt.
Hard work might get you a bit better off.
Working more intelligently and “better” is what makes you much better off.
I agree. I think that was implicit in what he said. Instead of businessmen whinging for politicians to come up with all the answers it is in the end up to the people of the country to do it. The politicians can’t magic up prosperity and wealth. Although they can feck it all up as they have done here and elsewhere with irresponsible spending and lending and red tape that hampers business and job creation.
That picture isn’t Iain Duncan Smith. The nazi minister has the DT doing his dirty work for him again.
Iain Duncan Smith who’s CV claimed that he had attended the University of Perugia when he had in fact attended the Università per Stranieri, which did not grant any degrees at that time, and a claim that he had attended the prestigious-sounding Dunchurch College of Management turned out to refer to some weekend courses at GEC Marconi’s staff college
Arbeit macht frei
are U referring to Iain Sunken-Stiff?
Cough ! splutter ! Gob on the carpet.
It’s a beautiful day to resign as Prime Minister.
I always was a “One Term Prime Minister”.
The UK economy has been fucked by George Osborne and myself….What Me Worry ?
I think you’re overestimating Dave’s longevity.
Shut up Tom Watson.
The economy was fcuked by Gordon Brown. The problem with Cameron and Osborne is they have no idea how to fix it.
Ah Gordon Brown, the gift that just keeps on giving.
Cutting taxes and overseas spending would be a start.
AK, your dead right there, they only think they do
Don’t be Hague; ask for vague!
Rupert Murdoch?
Another week and the Labour Party will be in maximum hypocrite mode calling for Hunt to resign(again) and saying that the Tory Party links to News Corp are far too close and obviously a breach of any law we can think of
Finally we just want to say that the BBC is totally impartial in this matterl…..
Led by the spiteful Harriet Harman, with Miliband and Bryant close behind.
Peter Hain steeping down from shadow cabinet. Too orange, too slow.
* stepping
Although steeping is not too far from the truth. He always looks to me as though he’s been steeped in a bath of orange tea.
I think you meant seeping.
Harder???? We haven’t slept for 3 months.
Dear William,
At what age are you allowed to draw your MP’s pension?
Yours sincerely,

Any news on the ethnic origins of those recently arrested in Rochdale?
White Christians
If they are Stakipani it will be difficult not to arrive at a racist conclusion.
Ethnicity was not a factor.
Blackies cannot be racist
Until it was.
Do they still sell quality beers in the Cemetry Inn in Rochdale?
Bitter and twisted BBC bashing Sky again on Radio 5. They really can’t get over it at the beeb can they?
So you’re the one who listens to us! Everyone here says “hi!”

You were very nasty to Dot.
As they say hear in Clydach:
‘You work cowin harder if you want to, mooch’
As well as….
Who’s coat is that jacket?

“That fork’s my spoon”
True – happened to me.
Yul Brynner?
Is it that little singer with a high pitched voice who’s partner is now a vicar ?
Or Tin Tin after a night out.
Fuck that; you should all cycle to Europe looking for exports rather than fly. In fact export all the clothes you have to knit to keep warm.
Don’t bother looking for exports at all! Just vote Labour and get ooodles of benefits! Sit at home, watching daytime TV, as huge wads of workers’ cash is stuffed through your letterbox, daily.
Remember: work is for dolts. Vote Labour.
Or just become an MP, same same
Respected Sir,
My name is Gordon Brown, and I would like to know more about this finger initiative. Sounds fun to me.

If I remember Animal Farm correctly, it was Squealer the Pig that used to give the exhortation “We must work harder” to the other animals.
I suppose that makes Cameron our latter day Napoleon the pig.
Is it true they call Mr Hague ‘Billy the Fizz’ because his dad owned a pop factory?
If so will he sell me loads of cheap pop for my takeaway.
I am getting supplies from someone called Diageo and boy do they know how to fleece you!
Ay oop! Looks like t’Germans are going to be telling us to stump up many more billions to save t’Euro. I know we promised we wouldn’t, and I know I said we were a sovereign nation, but I were lying.
So work ‘arder, you lot, ‘cos me and t’other Europhile Tory scum have had our order from Berlin and we’ve no choice but to comply.
By ‘eck.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9263389/Britain-to-share-costs-of-Greek-exit.html
Do you like Greeks pulling out?
We should be renegotiating the exit costs of Greek default now and let us be perfectly clear about this the British taxpayer will not be paying a single penny.
Indeed. You are quite correct: the British taxpayer will not be paying a single penny.
The taxpayer will be paying many pennies. Hundreds of billions of pennies.
Toodle pip!
Mr Cameron
Should we be expecting the next ‘investment’ soon? We have just the rockets to fuel and then we are all set to get to the moon.
Our people’s bellies will be enriched and nourished by your kind contribution
Dearest India, no problemo. I’m increasing ‘green’ tax on fuel in a month or so, and the British taxpayers will stump up even more money for you. Although they’re all screaming under the burden of taxation, I know in their heart of hearts that they’re all very very proud to be funding the development of your moonbase.
Toodle pip!
PS: I don’t suppose any of your rocket scientists could work out why Britain’s economy is collapsing? It’s got me completely bamboozled.
Be happy in your verk!! unt pump harder I say!!!
If that bald headed idiot thinks I am going to work harder to pay him more taxes then he is a lot dafter than he looks.
I suggest he gets our money back from the Greeks ideally by close of business this lunchtime .
** DANGER! ** ** DANGER!!** **MY BELOVED EU IS IN DANGER ** BRITISH TAXPAYERS MUST WORK HARDER ** **PAY HIGHER TAXES** *bzzzzt!* **DAVE MUST** ** SAVE EU ** ** AT ANY** **PR*ICE**

I for one do not like the smells coming from Greece this morning.
Them Greek Socialists are on the streets and they have long since stopped giving a fuck.
I think Mr Cameron should send an aircraft carrier with a few jets or something
I’ll second that!!
Ermm.. well, you see, uhm.. uh.. how do I put this? In order to give billions and billions of pounds to the EU, I had to uhm, make a few cuts.. uh.. look, those Harriers and that aircraft carrier.. uh.. the thing is, my beloved EU is more important than Britain’s defences. I’m sure you agree.
Aircraft Carrier ????????
ROTFFLMAO
Well done Abdel!
At least someone here is talking sense and realises the enormity of the situation.
It is a sad fact but innocent people are going to die.
Swift and decisive action now could limit casualties to 5000 this summer.
A lot of people will starve but at least the Greeks can grow salads and cucumbers in their gardens and go fishing off the coast.
And they can eat olives, and tortoises.
…. and play the ballyLiarKar
Quite right. Protect our olives.
They won’t starve. Have you seen how many rats there are. When it rains they come swimming along the streets.
One Ratzaki and chips please.
T’was in the yar
O’ 2015

Ah’m done, ah’m finished!

An ah doon that.
But nae ah’m oot o’ a job!
Her Maj replied,
Ye twat!
The Greeks want to maintain their high standard of living, their massive pensions, their cheap loans and their EU funded jobs, but they don’t want to pay for them.
We all know that the Greeks will get their way, the EU will bow to them, the Krauts don’t want to lose the Euro, they like being able to flog a BMW 5 series to a Chines workers for 200 Euros.
The EU is a massive ponzi scheme being paid for by the British and Scandinavian Countries.
The Greeks want to maintain their high standard of living, their massive pensions
We could send them to England to tick boxes in the council offices
Sorted
Sounds like my kind of thinking!
I’ll set up a quango to manage the Greek council boxtickers.
On second thoughts, I’ll set up two quangos; one to manage the Greek council boxtickers, and the other to manage the quango that manages the Greek council boxtickers.
Note to George: increase fuel tax (again) to pay for all this, will you?
LOL DC.
Good idea Dave, then of course I can do an efficiency drive by doing absolutely fuck all.
Get them to bring plenty of Pitta bread and Lamb kebabs when they come over im bloody starving will you
Good idea Dave, then of course I can do an efficiency drive by doing absolutely fuck all.
Well after having worked in the private sector,the public sector and a long stint as self employed,I can say.
‘Breast is best’
Taxpayers Tit milk..you can’t beat it.
Les haricots sont cuits.
Buggered if I know who it’s supposed to be. Dan Dare? Ann Widdecombe? Boris?
I think this is all a smoke screen to stop us asking questions about Jeremy Hunt and Newscorp.
Arse.
Stop reading/posting blogs and do some work you lazy scum!
‘Muscular Liberalism’ is one year old. Fat lot of good it did the Liberals, or the Coalition as whole.
