Mehdi’s Massive Promotion
Guido got wind last week that Mehdi Hasan had been sacked as Political Editor of the New Statesman. When we put it to him he exploded…
@GuidoFawkes Simple question: are you a tit?—
Mehdi Hasan (@ns_mehdihasan) May 16, 2012
Well it now seems Guido was on the money and the Staggers were just being nice by not announcing his departure last week along with other internal movements. He’s bagged a massive promotion in both status and influence by joining the Huffington Post. Guido just spoke to one of Mehdi’s fellow lefty hacks:
Lefty: Has he been fired?
GF: Well he’s going to the HuffPo, so you could put it like that.
Lefty: Oh god that’s worse than being fired. That’s worse than being dead.
Are they going to pay him?
See also: Mehdi is “The Commentator” and a chart of the New Statesman’s newsstand sales during the Mehdi era:
Pay him in cattle!
No. Goats!
Couldn’t of happened to a NASTIER Tvvat…
This man is utter filth and has no place in our society. He should fuck off and live in Iran.
Goats are very popular in Iran I hear.
was Imadinnerjacket ever a kid ?
Tell me about it.
So is REM
I once had a roasted Goat in Cyprus. I also lived in a country that had pride in its political class doing the right thing. We invaded countries and stole their assets. It was a blatant show of influence and Power. Then came along the USA They had more clever way of building an empire. A bit of terror here and there a little bit of drug dealing here and there, We now live in a very confusing world where No one knows who is who and who did what. What I do know is the economic system that has supported the corrupt world has collapsed.
Ooooh look! Gui do’s arbitrary meaningless ‘Trend’ line on a graph is back!
Media police state
Firstly, what the hell are you on about?
‘Then along came the USA’
How old are you?
I think it may be that the USA came along after the Second World War and started building its global empire
Lol…that is so funny, couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.
Are we taking bets on how long he will last at HufPo?
I think they have just read this blog and sacked the tvvat this afternoon.
Let’s just hope that we see and hear less of this odious twat and his obnoxious views. Perhaps he will get a job in America as he’s married to a Yank? They love left-wing Muslims over there……………………………NOT!
“When he put it to him he exploded” – Does he talk to himself that often?
Trend line on the graph has a poor start. Must do better.
“When we put it to him he exploded…”
Did he shout “allahu akbar” first?
Therein lies the reason they wouldn’t let him on the plane on Brillo’s show.
no — grotes !!
Groats?
I’m coming back to British politics. I need a few more million to keep Cherie’s credit card going.
Never even heard of him.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. First of many times, I hope.
Maybe he will become a Labour MP next!
to be honest, we thought he was shit as well.
I doubt if anyone would have noticed seeing no-one reads it anymore.
In his case, oh dear , what a pity, never mind.
Ha ha ha! This news gives me great joy.
One down, fucking hundreds to go.
Exploded aye? Is it on Youtube? Link p.l.e.*.s.e. Tar!
What IS on youtube is a ‘sermon’ by this imbecile, no film, but him screaming and crying and caterwauling about some ‘moment’. It is truly disturbing and his sanity must be in question, but the BBC think he is wonderful, which tells you more about the BBC than anything else.
This is the perfect way for me to ensure I stay on the moral high ground.
The workers at the New Statesman may look like people, but they are just cattle.
Well lets hope they stampede all over your sick left-wing Iran loving head
Please can he get fired from Question Time, too? And every other broadcast anything?
Hardly. Now he’s on his uppers his fellow travellers at the Beeb will give him succour.
Expect to see much more of Mehdi on the BBC commenting on just about everything.
Blowers; Welcome to TMS. That was a lovely ball by Swann.
Hasan: No it wasn’t. It was patronising, overbearing, cutting to the right and it did not go nuclear. You are a tit for thinking it was a good ball when in fact it wasn’t. Who are you, what are you
Ah, some cake has arrived!
Oh look! A big red lorry has just gone passed the gasometers!
Did anybody see the foul on Emre by Zhikora in the Fenerbahce vs Trabzon match two weekends ago . Full volley to the groin in mid flight. Emre putatively hospitalised . Ref considered it a 50 50 ball and merely gave Zhikora a yellow!!
Metaphorically the same as what the MEEJA are doing to Hassan right now .
Wish it was literal though …
Love it. Didn’t see it, youtubing now and replacing whasisname with Hassan.
They should give him a science programme – he’ll be at home.
The BBC know all about Science. They read about it in one of the set books for their English Literature degrees.
If it isn’t about poisonous, evil CO2 it’s not science to the BBC
The BBC website just rewrites the summaries from Nature and New Scientist. Badly.
The only time the BBC get excited about ccience or technology is when they decide to hype the latest Apple press release.
Well if they print summaries from New Scientist, they can neither fucking read nor assimilate the difference between fact and what some shirt lifter with a degree in “Meeja” studies on the BBC science dept. thinks it means!
I would have thought ‘Media Studies’ would have been the Beeb’s degree course of choice.
Yup. It’ll now be (even more) impossible to hear any Radio 4 programme without either Toynbee or Hasan as the regular pundit/expert/rent-a-gob (delete where inapplicable) spouting forth on everything from immigration to the growing of rhubarb.
Delete as appropriate:
More spending/more subsidy/more immigration is the only possible answer. Higher taxes for rich people/bankers/public sector and more state intervention/regulation/taxation/compensation/or pensions, are necessary.
All purpose cut-out-and-keep Radio 4 answer guide to any bbc question.
If its James Naughtie presenting just read them all out and bask in his admiration.
Rhubarb needs lots of manure. We practically lived off it in the 50′s – rhubarb I mean. Shit was everywhere else.
Not whilst they can keep reinviting coonts like Ken on HIGNFY.
Saw the last 10 mins of it recently (first time in a while) and Hislop’s smiley and only benignly critical asides to the slimey one made me want to vom. The Eye isn’t what it once was, problem being Hislop’s too cosy with the Beeboids. They’ve paid for his kids to go through school after all.

Doubtless we will see this scumbag appear on every BBC news / political program.
Along with that fantasist Living Stone, at public expense
Whoever is behind this decision is obviously a giant racist.
I say that with complete conviction, irrespective of any other factor in regards to Mr Hasan’s risible tenure at the publication.
Cruel – give him a spot as Neo’s bagman.
To quote Guido, “The position of sub-editor is blah, blah….”
Cripes, dilemma time at Aunty.
Change the locks on his green room cubicle and get in the next New Statesmen ‘press spokesperson for the people’ (ABC ratings: six) pronto, or create a new role?
I’m guessing the latter: “Our Man From Blogvana”.
We know that keeping the moral high-ground is key. Once we lose the moral high-ground we are no different from the rest of the non-Muslims; from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfil any desire.
I do however desire my old job back. Tricky one.
I can confirm that although we are a lowly blot on the media / blog landscape, we have no need to recruit SCUM like Mendhi which will damage our already meagre fragile readership.
Menghi has offered to do a few freebies, but that does not constitute a job. We will protect our standards at all costs.
lucky huffers….another twat bagged
a lowly blot on the media / blog landscape?
If by that you mean it being part of the biggest blog on the planet with 54 million unique visitors a month
UK edition gets around 4 million unique visitors a month, pissing all over Gweedo’s tractor stats
a lowly blot on the media / blog landscape?
If by that you mean it being part of the biggest blog on the planet with 54 million un.ique visi.tors a month
UK edition gets around 4 million un.ique visit.ors a month, pissing all over this place
Hi Medhi. Not started yet then?
but the demographics are crap in the UK, and soon to get worse.
Yes, and Mehdi’s going to get paid.. in shirt buttons?
If he’s lucky?
unique as in read once and then never go back?
And tell us about the clickthroughs Mehdi?
Not for long once the “Mendhi Effect” takes place
Despite the US edition bigging-up loud the UK site? It’s chickenshit (free-range, organically fed from sustainable sources of course). Things might have been different had the real journalists not legged it out after they were expected to work for salted legumes and party medals.
Lofty ideology is fine as long as someone else is paying you bills (vide B-B-C).
Talking about people being in trouble Guido, is that girl Rachel Wolf who you defend so gallantly having a problem with her emails to your mate Gove?
did he really catch her sitting on the copying machine ?
“When he put it to him he exploded…”
That’s about par for a follower of the Religion of Peace is it not.
And more than 10,000 P a l e s t i n i a n prisoners held without trial in the a p a r t h e i d State of I s r a e a l, among other things
http://www.amnesty.org/en/region/israel-occupied-palestinian-territories/report-2011
1) The expression is ROFL
2) You are a c’unt
3) Amnesty have gone from being a principled organisation to a bunch of lefty wankstains
Didnt realise Amnesty was still going, no fucker pays them any attention now.

Amnasty, liberating Prisoners of Conscience and restoring their right to bomb the sh1t out of marketplaces and throw acid at schoolgirls.
Chris Morris -’what loveable scamps!’.
Excellent news. The Jiuce have the right idea, ayrebs are bad for your health. Ask anyone living among them.
Who cares?
You think calling them an apartheid state is going to create yet another wave of lefty trend outrage and activism? It’s all about words. Tory-led government. Omnishambles. Blah, blah, blah.
Seen it all before. Vietnam. Jane Fonda. Fall of the Shah. Ayatollah Khomeini. South Africa. Peter Hain. Arab Spring. Blah, blah blah.
Lefties need a cause. Then when they win the results are worse shit than before.
Oooowww, get her!

I really do enjoy watching Hasan’s downfall!
couldnt have happened to a nicer person … and when I say nicer I really mean total knut
Made my day [hee hee] – sorry to so*nd childish, but it’s g**d to see the little r*t-bag descend into obscurity, where he belongs.
So what – I got wind last week!
I hope you paid your carbon tax for that?
No need to. It comes from an entirely sustainable source.
I don’t care if he’s at the HuffPo, he’s still not getting his 72 virgins!
any chance we can get a photo of muhammad?
Not at the HuffPo he won’t.
Mediocre Hasan moves to the Huffington Paste?
He’s sinking faster than the Titanic!
They’ll still have on the BBC , pots and kettle’s
That’s another favourite removed from my bookmarks then
Isn’t the problem with Medhi is that he’s the ‘coloured person who has a left wing opinion’ person that the BBC (or other leftist wankers) go to as a ‘commentator’ for ‘balance’ and letting ‘a coloured boy have his say’ even though:- i) he’s a tw@; ii) nobody could give a stuff what he thinks….
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
Well said.

Mandleson giving evidence at Leveson.
Is it on BBC News 24. NO.
Leveson is just a platform for labour to deny involvement with Murdoch.
Mandleson really is an obnoxious arsewipe.
Was he asked if he really did call Becky Brooks a c.unt when NI went with the Tories?
Was he asked if Brown set out to ‘destroy’ NI (and whether he was sent round the studios as a demolition expert?)?
Was he asked about Bliars personal relationship with Murdoch (and his trip to the Dead Sea)?
They can ask Mandy all the questions they want……. He’ll just lie.
The kaffar, the disbelievers, the atheists who remain deaf and stubborn to the teachings of Islam, the rational message of the Quran; they are described in the Quran as, quote, ‘a people of no intelligence’, Allah describes them as; not of no morality, not as people of no belief – people of ‘no intelligence’ – because they’re incapable of the intellectual effort it requires to shake off those blind prejudices, to shake off those easy assumptions about this world, about the existence of God.
In this respect, the Quran describes the atheists as ‘cattle’, as cattle of those who grow the crops and do not stop and wonder about this world.
I’m wondering how long my new job will last. Inshalla, there are some kaffars at the Huffington Post who showed the requisite level of intelligence to believe giving me a job was somehow a good idea.
Well I don’t know about all that religious stuff but the expression scraping the barrel’ comes to mind.
Poor old huffpo must be really hard up for people who think they can write.
“…Quran describes the atheists as ‘cattle’….”
I think you are confusing the Quran with the Talmud.
Yeah right. There is a global sense of consternation at all those Talmud-inspired terrorists.
the rational message of the Quran
Hahahahahahaha. Ahahahahahaha.
It’s on a par with Polly Tuscany declaring that socialists are more intelligent. Because she says so.
Rational message? God talks only to lunatic cock-waving mass-murderer in his tent.
Rational?
Silly C*unt.
“The Commentator” seems to be a r a c i s t z i o n i s t propaganda blog
Who finances it?
Take a wile stab in the dark
Is it the unions?
Headmaster
With a Muslim as editor?
If you spe@k with free conscience and self-enquiry, abhor relativism and designated victimhood, then you must be, by default, a western/zionist stooge. It keeps things in a simple manichean context so that leftist simpletons can assimilate it and perhaps become powerful activists and truth-to-power speakers -like meee!
If he makes everything up he can join us at the Independent, we’re interviewing Joseph Stalin next week and Medhi can drive us to the gig.
Comedy Gold
Good article for once in the New Statesman
**http://www.newstatesman.com/books/2008/10/israel-jewish-zionism-jews
Does anyone read the New Statesman other than left wing failures?
How about would-be left wing failures?
His arse will be permanently stuck to a sofa on the BBC politics? Show which reeks of left wing pish!
What? The sofa stinks of piss or the show in general?
Depends if Shirley Williams has been on it.
Can’t be, she’s a Tena Lady.
yeah but shes still a dribbler
Williams has always been a dribbler. In fact her entire career was one tedious, though regretably damaging, dribble of political piss and nonsense.
Not so much a dribble as a toxic spill. The demise of English education can be laid directly at her feet.

Back atcha! Rather like tying a lefty to a post and sh0oting him with a blunderbuss loaded with his own sh1te.
I humbly hand you my crown Sir!
Mandleson is in full selective memory action. He can only remember the good points about Brown and the bad points about Cameron.
Mandleson is a liar.
I don’t need no doctor
for…
Mandleson is a liar
I would first of all like to thank my wife and family, also the cast of fellow commentators. I just couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.
Peter Mandlebrot for his leading role in ….
Brokeback UK
Great fantasist isn’t he?
I know what people say about me beggars belief
But my philiosophy is to bugger belief like I buggered Britan with Tony’ help
Now we are both becoming filthy rich and are all in this together
BTW I amtyravelling and now and will acumulate hige wealth offshore like saint Tony
Sack the Intern……
When he put it to him he exploded…
Should be – When we put it to him he exploded…
P.S. and H.C. in their blogging personas [Guido and NeoG] write in the third person hence ‘he’ and ‘they’. I and we suggests first person/s involvement, which when referring to Mehdi Hasan would be the equivalent of enjoying stepping in a cowpat.
Distance is everything.
Ah OK, so like someone saying ‘a Downing St source’ within actually saying Campbell then?
Does anybody read the Huffpo?
Big in the USA, noise level here.
Bought by AOL (kiss of death) last year if I remember
I have it on good authority that Arianna does, if she feels like it.
Well, she looks at the pretty pictures, anyway.
The “Deputy Editor” of Huffpo sometimes reviews the papers on Sky. She’s badly cast in the role of journalist. She gives the impression that she’s just wandered in from a primary school staffroom and hasn’t had time to read the papers for the past couple of weeks.
Makes Sally Bercow look professional.
I mean in a journalistic way.
Sally always looks like a ‘professional.’
Mrs Quango does.
Its on the AOL news feed.
She says they have dome of the best horoscopes on the net.
I bumped into Mehdi near Blackfriars once. I didn’t get to speak to him though because he was on his phone.
With respect you didn’t bump into him hard enough
Or with anything pointy enough
Mandles emits a stupid when he is nervous or lying.
so that’ll be 24/7 then?
That should read Mandleson emits a stupid laugh when he is nervous or lying. I was overcome by my Oscar award.
I come here for the good news and that’s what I get.
Why has Mandleson just choked to death on his lies?
Where’s the growth?
It looks like a pen1s only smaller
Tony Blair’s speaking engagements have dried up and the world’s dictators and despots are no longer beating a path to his door. In order to pump some life into his trans-global money making machine and polish up his profile he has engaged the services of Megalomanics and Crooks R Us. He is available for a range positions – DG of BBC, Leader of the Labour Party (or any other party), Secretary General of NATO, Secretary General of the UN, Governor of the Bank of England or Archbishop of Canterbury.
Don’t joke about DG of the BBC, Dan, please, don’t. It’s scary.
You missed out Pope.
Keep running your anti I s l a m i c propaganda Guido
That way we can s m e a r all our “cousins” by association
And anyone who attacks you is automatically a r a c is t
Good job
hmm, isn’t it some of the commentators that could be accused of what you say rather than Gweedo?
Dipshit
I’m fine..thanks for asking.Its just a bit of tummy trouble.
Just been watching Al Jazeera documentary which proves conclusively that he was totally innocent – as we all knew anyway.
Anyone looked at the Eyeranians (revenge for blowing an airliner out of the sky?)
Ah, it’s the Grand Muffti. Progressive Grauniad commenter, antifascist in jackboots and jimjams and goatficker supreme.
Re-invention tour of Abu Dhabi?.
Being sacked by the Staggers is a bit like being forced into a lifeboat as the Titanic goes down.
It should be that he is told all the lifeboats have left.
Only the cold dark sea is left.
I told you I was ill.
remember to claim your benefits Mehdi … you’ll be earning so much less now
Maybe I shouldn’t have written that rather unfaltering biography of Ed Miliband.
Mad innit!
You’re all wacists and islamophobes who do I have to aspire to now?
Just read his first article, seems to being under some sort of pen name, I guess so that people don’t realise that what they are reading has been written by a complete and utter, nasty moron:
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/rhiannon-lucy-cosslett/smoothgroove-camel-toe-visible-labia-line_b_1517616.html
I have to say, I’m with the commentator who would like the labia to be more visible.
I forgot to say, that was my first venture over to that site, I think the article above and the thousands of others on that site show quite admirably why none of the writers are paid for the output!
Its silly I know. But I can’t get that Levesson / Brookes youtube of her signing LOL and Kelvin’s “The Sun”out of my head.
Just to share the annoyance watch this

Has anyone actually seen Hasan’s Oxford degree or is it such that in a Post NuLiebor age, old habits die hard and it is not seen as acceptable to ask to see it!!
Get down them pits lad!
He does seem to be struggling to accept the position of blogs at the base of the media food chain. It’s not an uncommon phenomenon.
Labour lost. Get over it.
You’d love your favoured lefty rag to have a fraction of the influence of this site. Admit it.
Guido uses an odd definition of “exploded” if the following counts as explosion: “Simple question: are you a tit?”
I would have thought this is nearer to the usual definition:
Huffington Post UK is ranked 191 in terms of most visited websites…or should that be least visited.
I want to see the following people on Question Time every single week:
Johann Hari
Medhi Hassan
Owen Jones
Polly Toynbee
Dianne Abbot
