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.”
Bill Quango MP says:
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
What..who is it?
What wankjerk came up with “chillaxing” ?
There are many fools. No doubt someone will take the credit eventually.
I’d just like to know what people think Cameron can do about the Euro disaster – given that we are not even in it. Thank Hades.
I suppose he could always threaten to do another U-turn and keep his promise on an EU Referendum.
Maybe send an ultimatum to the useless dithering tossers on the continent that if they haven’t sorted out the mess THEY created by the next thrilling installment of Greek elections then Britain will join Switzerland and Norway.
They can take away our cash but they canna tak awah oor Freeedom.
We could offer to buy all their euros from them at a discount and let them use sterling instead.
I see we got the Olympic Torch this week, so the Torching of the Capital looks like its really going to happen. Cripes all the security. Some one is going to have to justify it. Thank the Lord I wasn’t one of the poor bastards who won the lottery to get tickets.
Why is it that the Tory Gurus of late, Hayek and Hilton are both Hungarian?
Is there some thing we should know about Hungary?
Same person who came up with wankjerk?
Probably came from Nero Cameron himself same sort of cartoon on CIF
Cameron is starting to come out with Bushisms, what next trying to walk through non existant doors?
Probably the same c-unt who came up with genuflect.
It started in America.
It is Cameron tossing himself off whilst the EU is accelerating towards the edge of a cliff. Obama, Hollande and Miliband are all crying out for the EU countries to hit the gas pedal even harder.
The rich Greeks are taking their money out of the banks and buying property in London. The middle classes are taking their money out and buying Kalashnikovs.
Once Greece falls, and it will, the contagion will spread and cause chaos.
All these left wing fuckers are spouting shit about “go for growth to create jobs” WHAT THE FUCK WITH??? YOU’VE SPENT ALL OUR FUCKING MONEY AND TRILLIONS MORE BESIDES!
They do not realise that whatever extra they spend will have to be paid back… WITH INTEREST by US TAXPAYERS AND WE CANNOT AFFORD IT!
It’s not rocket science. We need to get out of the EU, slash taxes and export to growth.
Growth will not come with the overweight state and its capacity for running up debt riding along on everyone’s back.
I think we are all agreed then, The Political elite have fucked everything.
Wait till the deriatives markets start to fall to pieces, thats next once Greece decides not to PAY. Oh and By the way do they still have Troops in Afghanistan?? The answer is Yes so that means we are funding more troops in Afghanistan than our Politicians would admit too.
I don’t often agree with your postings Rage. but yo are right on this one. +20
+100
We still have the Money Trees planted by Gordon in Downing Street’s back garden.
Is that fucker still digging up the lawn?
Get out of Europe- and export to whom for growth? Europe is our second biggest consumer after the USA, both taking a similar amount from us. Europe would almost certainly impose tariffs to recoup what they would lose from us in terms of lost contributions, making us even more uncompetitive. Most of Europe doesn’t “like” us – it’s visceral – we’ve used most of them as convenient places to kick the sh.it out of them and their neighbours. So they won’t take it as a complement that we take our ball home.
Apart from that, and the fact that “new” doesn’t necessarily mean it works the way you intended, it all makes perfect sense.
Do carry on.
Export to who??? Are you being deliberately stupid?
How about the 4.6 BILLION people OUTSIDE the EU? China, Russia, Brazil, India, Korea, Australia, USA etc…
If you are on a sinking ship would you:
A) Tie yourself ever tighter to the hull whilst pick axing ever more holes in the hull to let the water out? (Which appears to be the EU Policy)
B) Get on a life raft and head for land?
Oh, shit yes – I’m so sorry I forgot all of those people we DON’T CURRENTLY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF DEALING WITH.
Silly me, the answer is sooo simple. Someone, quick!! Run and tell the CBI our economic difficulties are over! We’re going to stop dealing with half our customers and go and get some new ones!!!
I feel so foolish,. Why didn’t I think of this before!
Misterned, were you a pilgrim to Mao on the GREAT LEAP FORWARD, because your economic grasp of the realities is SO similar?
Gentlemen, Your arguments though valid are of little USE. The economy IS ruined and wont be fixed by anything that the Political Elite decide to do. It has gone too Far the Debt to HIGH and Cant. I say again Cant be paid. When Greece Default. It will crash the whole derivatives market, Thats it a slam dunk. Greece will default its just depends when as they have NO growth the same as every other European country apart from Germany and OBAMA and Cameroon want them to JOIN in with the Default. Crazy world we live in, But dont mention the cost of the WAR, as the MEDIA dont like it, lets pretend that everything is going really well as we head for the doors tails. NATO’s Vietnam.
We will all be better off when we all tell the Bankster family to sling their hook.
… About that debt Mr IMF and Mr ECB – what effing – ‘false debt’? The one that is being spun to keep us all in fear while a little group of banksters keep our hard earned …
Sling yer Debts up EUr Rses.
Robin Gibb RIP

My love hole is very deep.
His teeth will live on in our memories, always.
He was a loyal liebore voter.
Oh that makes his death ok then. Are you really that moronically tribal? You’d be outraged if someone celebrated the death of a Tory celebrity. What’s their politics got to do with their music or acting?
+1
Did anyone see englebert pffaffing on about – that he knows nothing about politics and that he only does ‘Show … Business’ and trying to ignore corruption thats abounds him …?
Is the man like all other celebrities – dead from the neck up?
Is that a do-it yourself nappy?
Maybe Dave’s contemplating toga parties?
A tasteful addition to the Jubilee celebrations. Or maybe Olympic vomitting will be the next demostration sport.
Can you tell us what is is yet?
The Eurozone is in meltdown. The British government should take out full page adverts in various European newspapers with the words:
“Told you so! We warned you but you didn’t listen. He he he!”
We’d like to tell all the dumbrse journos & lickspittals who have been selling this Euro joke to us for decades; that we the public have been telling you whats what – WE TOLD YOU SO – YOU LICKSPITTALS.
MSM – stop selling the public elitist lies & propaganda
The public have been telling the MSM what the game is Re the EU – the whole ‘game’ is up it’s over, it’s finished – start telling the truth to the public and stop ‘spinning shittybull’ because you think you are clever journo junkies.
Anyone know if the Zuckerbergs signed a prenup?
Hi DC. U r a shit pm. Fck off. LOL
ROFLMFAO!!! PMSL!!!
R u on abart some wimmin’s prob??
It is NOT a ‘problem’, you male fool. Being on the rag is one of the glorious wonders of wimminhood! Our fiery rag-rage and inconsistent irrational behaviour makes us more effective in business and management, compared to you pathetic male scum.
Uh-oh, it’s Harriet’s “Angry Week”
ROFLMFAO = Rolls on floor laughing my fucking arse off.
PMSL = Pissing myself laughing.
Its Frankie Howerd in Up Pompei
Tell us how you really feel
Coo! Man, you is showing yer age. Innit “Howard” though…Titter ye not.
No it’s Dave Cameron in “Up William”
Ik Nauseous?
Titter ye not
It’s me being entertained in St Petersburg by the Russians. Bring on the young girls. Boaz.
Can I come too Handy? Jahbulon.
Here’s why we have police corruption – Published into the public domain – but don’t tell the public mind ….
http://ecbiz111.inmotionhosting.com/~intmen5/masonicpolice.htm
The pigs with the axe (1987) – will be done or the Whole judicial system will be done – enough is enough.
Mind you – the judicial system is toast anyway.
I’m amazed this made it through the Beeb’s Labour Protection Filter.
Despite coming across as an obnoxious lefty little shit, Hislop does, upon very rare occasions, stab to the heart of left wing failure. This is an excellent example.
It is about time people were reminded of how close the labour party and Murdoch were AT THE TIME that the hacking was taking place, under the labour government’s nose.
To watch the BBC news coverage, you could be forgiven for believing that all the hacking was taking place at the behest of Cameron, in spite of the fact that he was only an opposition, back-bench MP at the time.
He must have been the most powerful opposition, back-bencher of all time.
wasn’t it Dave who put limits on the Leveson inquiry, which in effect ruled out Blair/Brown activity????
We all know Dave’s mad though don’t we????
As Broon and B’Liar
Dave isn’t mad, he’s just incredibly stupid.
Gordon Brown was Mad and/or Strupid? Can see less and less diff between the Saviour of the OWrld and this twat trying to save his own skin
I did not know he did that… Although it does explain why the investigation has all been about what tories and tory supporting members of the media did.
IF he did limit the enquiry in such a way, then he is an even bigger fuckwit that I thought.
The Leveson inquiry was a perfect tool for permanently burying labour under their own vast and gargantuan piles of sleaze, corruption and filth. To not take that opportunity shows Cameron to be a turncoat labour sympathiser.
*****************BREAKING NEWS***********************
Prime Minister David Cameron (I know, don’t laugh) has announced to day that he is leaving his position with immediate effect in order to pursue his musical career with the Bee Gees.
Contrived humour rarely works. Have you tried selling your gags to radio 4?
contrived criticism is the sign of a small brain and flat feet
Inability to accept justified criticism is the sign of a sad twat.
Everyone may be a critic however you are definitely a twat.
who? moi?
It works for me boyo! ha hah ah hahh – there’s laffta in the Vulleys I can tell thee boyo!
The world would probably have been a better place if B’Liar had maintained his dream of becoming a rock star and the Gibb brothers had chosen politics over a lifetime on the boards.
Megrahi dead. Brown been to Parliament yet?
I wished Donna Summer, Megrahi and Robin Gibb well. But I can’t come to work, I’m in New York telling them how I saved the world.
Which world? Planet Brown?
this is just so passe
Rhaspberry in Blue
Did anyone mention pate?
Just Saying!
http://nz.news.yahoo.com/opinion/post/-/blog/news_makers/post/100/comment/1
surely headline of the year in the DT:
I’ll shake things hard to speed up Coalition reform, says Cameron
what a wanker!!!!
But this must be the Greatest Headline of All Time:
“Gordon Ramsay’s Dwarf Porn Double Found Dead in a Badger Den in Wales”
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/weird/gordon-ramsays-dwarf-porn-double-found-dead-in-a-badger-den-in-wales/story-e6frev20-1226137951576
I don’t beleive it!
It says that he wasn’t happy – which one was he then?
R&M should try their luck in Germany – The Germans famously don’t have a sense of humour either. Especially over penalties.
Brown dead,can’t make it to parliament.
I’m Staying Alive.
Not if I see you on my manor.
What is “chillaxing”? I really don’t know.
Something Lizzie Borden did after topping her parents?
Or something i’ll be doing when they axe the telly tax
An Americanism for chilling out and relaxing. They seem to have a penchant for joining up words. The banksters are at it too with Greek exit being shortened to grexit. I suppose it will save a tree or two over a decade or three.
I am beginning to think Mr Cameron is a complete and utter tosser.
I mean to say for the Uk the answer is austerity. When it comes to the Eu he admits there is a financial dependence but when they follow austerity he turns round and says they are wrong and should spend lots of money they do not have just as the Spaniards have done on infrastructure such as Madrid’s second airport which is effectively closed.
All my spare money is going into US and Canadian dollars and my takeaway shop is going on the market.
We are being led by someone who does not know what he is doing.
We are not being led unless we follow. We need not.
in the UK you get no option – the politicians, money markets, elites and criminals always know best
No change there then ….we’ve been led by someone(and successive governments) that doesn’t know what to do since 1992
1945
You could even go back much further if you are old enough as far back as 1960
The whole world is being led by people that don’t know what they are doing. We have so many higly paid experts, in all fields, and still the world is in a fucking mess.
Read the papers, listen to the media, listen to politicians, listen to the experts, and you soon realsie that they are all wankers. It’s a do as I say, not as I do, world.
What does grate though are the hypocrite shysters such as Miliband and Balls.
Balls was ‘posturing’ this morning on his regular R4 Today slot.
Sarah Montague’s interview technique is as tough as my Granny.
But did she take her teeth out first?
Yeah good to see that Balls is at least earning some money as an anchor on R4.
W*nker that he is.
I would bet serious money that Labour would jump 10+ points in the polls if they got rid of Balls.
Balls – the shadow chancellor that Labour’s unwanted leader didn’t want.
The trouble with a lot of so leaders is that they are clever, in a public school sort of way but they seem to lack common sense and the inability to think things through as far as possible negative consequences for their actions
I’ve been thinking, for several years, that Cameron is a complete and utter tosser. I suspect that I’m far from alone in my opinion. What took you so long?
I think the big problem is that David Cameron does not do joined up writing and can only think 48 hours in advance.
Well if that is true about Cameron I think that you will find that 48 hours is a very long time span for President Hollande.
The G8 are waiting with great interest for his detailed proposals concerning the issuing of Eurobonds!
His NATO positioning is really going to leave him very exposed and open to ridicule.
Not according to Balls, who seems to think Hollande is the new saviour of Europe.
I think Ed Ballsup is right about the saviour bit- Hollande is very likely likely to end up crucified.
G8 is GR8 LOL ROLF
Its only words but words are all I have to tell socialists to feck off.
And now we have a request for David Cameron
How deep is your conservatism?
And after Stayin’ in Power I shall be playing Tragedy.
Tragedy…
When the promises are gone
And you can’t fool anyone it’s
Tragedy…
When the Euro dies
And you don’t know why , it’s
Hard to bear
With no-one to love it
Your going nowhere
Tragedy…
It doesn’t matter if he’s conservative or not (he isn’t), it’s getting UKIP a foothold in the house of commons.
i don’t think so
You don’t know what it’s like
You don’t know what it’s like,
To love somebody,
Love somebody
The way I love taking money from the EU, which I despise and want to destroy,
While writing penultimate and final lines which neither scan nor rhyme, INCOMING!
I started a joke that started the whole world crying.
I have a five point plan for recovery. I’m waiting for Mr Serwotka and Mr McCluskey to tell me what it is.
Milibland , Sir Wotka and MacKluskey.
Three prime examples to show that Funny things can happen on the way to the foreskin.
Edmund Bad Adder.
Your 5 point plan if you loo carefully enough is a starfish.
Everytime I hear about a plan for the economy from a trade union member I think it’s some sort of parody, or a satire of old Soviet Bloc countries. Then I remember its 2012, and they’re actually being serious, and I cry a little inside.
Look out for Brutus Davey Boy – he’s lurking somewhere behind you! Tosser!
Will that be boris brutus do you think?
hello, my name is Cameron, David Cameron
Seems all this place can do these days is take the piss.
we as a country have severe economic problems due to the inexplicable lack of investment in toilets
That’s all that there is left to do.
We’re all fucked. I’m fucked. You’re fucked. The whole country is fucked. It’s the biggest cock-up ever. We’re all completely fucked.
Go down laughing!
And we all know who is responsible, the fucking Liebour party.

Having watched that lot at the G8 this weekend I am forcibly reminded of an old adage written in 1684 by oxenstierna “do you know my son with how little wisdom the world is governed?”
It was true then and it’s true now!
Which then raises the question of whether things get worse, better or actually just stay the same…
It’s just a new lick of paint evry time – we delude ourselves with much of what we believe we think – or indeed think we believe:

I hope there is
A universe where the Cosmological Constant is sufficiently differnt as to render R&M funny.
