There is a fascinating exchange of letters over at the Staggers between the Chairman of the Conservative Arab Network and Tory Chairman Sayeeda Warsi. They discuss Guido’s revelations about the group, and show how the exposé set off a chain of events that led to the troubles that Warsi is in right now:
This may be revenge, but that does not make it any less dangerous for Warsi…

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
She is safe as she has the backing of CamerLoon
FFS the Conservative party should be concentrating on fixing Britain and not Arabia and instead of appointing token brown skinned moslems they should take on the most able regardless of skin colour or religion.
Where would that leave me though ?
Enough of all this tittle tattle, how’s my hair looking?
Have you seen the size of my bike? It’s huge!
Fancy a ride?
Up shit creek………..
the most able regardless of skin colour or religion. or sex
Cameron makes John Major look competent (not a compliment to John). Never have we be led by so many people with such a poor lack of judgement since Thatcher left (pre-poll tax days).
I can only assume that the world as we know it is coming to an end, as this lack of any type of leadership worldwide is vsible for all to see.
The question is, who is more fucked than we are?
It never ceases to amaze me how the BBC invite Kinnock and Major onto their political progs and present them as wise sages who were successes of their time. Then the same BBC talks about the Great Mrs T as if she were a failure.
I may be a young’un, but from my reading of history we had garbage piling up in the streets, 3 day weeks, and the lights kept on going out. We had around 25% inflation and insanely high taxes and capital controls. The unions had brought the UK to a standstill. Thatcher sorted those things out and we moved on as a nation. Those who vilify Thatcher don’t understand the context in which she came to power.
plus, it had snowed non stop for eight and a half months. she managed to sort that out too.
Calumny !
Yes and no. Lady T did much to prepare Britain to function in a post Imperial world where capital would be even freer to move around, she also tried (and in my view regretably failed) to open up politics the real dynamic force in our society i.e. those who want and will work hard and not rely on some weird school/uni/mates/lodge connection to get them on in the world. Since that failure we have been saddled with the poorest lot of politicos possible and a culture that at the rich end thinks it has a right to all the wealth and power and at the bottom end the right to live in state subsidised shit. Basically the rest of us get spit roasted with out being asked if we like it.
What would you rather have – the working class masses we once had or the masses we have today. Remember the London (now known as the Beacon of Is-lam) dockers who marched in support of Enoch. The Rt. Hon. and Noble Lady’s policies ultimately emasculated this country.
Its perhaps a lack of deference, and more openness. I’m sure international politicians of the past cocked things up a fair bit, but managed to hide the fact.
But there are plenty of countries more f’d than the uk. If you think of sarkozy he made himself very unpopular by making only minor changes (ie NI reforms, pension at 62, employment contracts that aren’t carved in granite- (failed) )
Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.
H. L. Mencken
FULL PISSSPOTS, you certainly are, remember the others Cameron gave his “full backing”, oh dear
Vote UKIP – this farce masquerading as a Government could not run a bath.
If they had to run a pissup in a brewery they’d end up banning pissups instead.
I know UKIP dont have much of a publicity budget, but please stop mentioning them as though they are the answer, they arent ! FFS they dont even have 1 MP. Get a grip !
I hope the barrister at Leveson , earns his corn today and nail’s Hunt and his “Full supporting” mate Camerloon
I wish I had some of Alan Rusbridger’s money, the rich, socialist bastard
Why? Hunt seems to be a genuinely nice chap. Unlike that vindictive, malicious, untrustworthy, practicer of dark arts, adulterer and pie eating Twatson.
Hunt is a nasty little shit.
Using the standard taxonomy of shits, Hunt is actually quite a nice one.
Problem is that what the Conservative Party need is a charming, erudite, vengeful, master of the black arts of politics, with the focus and visciousness of Stalin.
He (or she?) would sort out the Limp Dims; BBC; Gruniard & so-called Independent; u turn nonsense; and show no mercy on the corrupt Labour Party, its union backers, and regional placemen.
Where on earth is this person?
I agree, why is it that Watson is able to swan around as though he is the Oracle, the mans a disgrace.
Bet you all wish I was back. At least I kept you out of the dreaded €uro!
I had a look at CAN and the Dr. and it didn’t seem dodgy in political terms at all. Rather mild mannered, integrated and moderate.
Of course, Warsi did say such people didn’t exist a while ago.
Thank you so much Guido.
I’ve got money on myself to be the next cabinet member to exit.
Have no fear,I’ll be off before Jeremy Hunt !
Never mind, you could think about a whiplash claim.
I hope we get rid of both you “Jeremy hunt’s”
Perhaps I could be of assistance to Baroness Warsi ?
You are probably the last one the lass needs
Instead of hovering over Hunt’s car as it struggled through the London traffic on its journey to the courts, why didn’t the skycopter give him a lift?
Expense, dear boy, same reason trains not used, 7 coppers and a Coulson, what do you think they are royalty?
Bloody crazy wasn’t it. He’s hardly likely to do a runner so a ticket on ryan air would have come in at the fraction of the cost. No doubt the scotch coppers wanted a jolly in london and overnight subsistance rates.
And it will be the taxpayers in England who’ll pick up the tab. Mustn’t make those por put-upon Scots pay for anything.
Dear Geoff can you actually supply the figures to back up your oft repeated assertions . Thank you.
Its all on overtime see! Also we all want to put it in our memoirs.
We are not inefficient or costly. 7 is a lucky number and we need two to manage the press and one to take a bribe.
It’s all imploding for the Tory party, ain’t it?
It’s like a ball of wool that has fallen on the floor and the cat thinks that looks like a good toy to play with
Er … it’s nothing like that at all.
(grabs popcorn)
That seems to have cheered you up,if you would prefer the 3rd raters jostling for position in the Labour party, be it upon your own head.
warsi war – they all see war!!
didn’t know invading syria was in the olympics!!!!
Strange NATO has not put their oar in, or is it that syrian regime has helped over Iraq and Afghanistan
No it’s the fact that Syria has missiles and aeroplanes and half their ground troops are borrowed from Iran and they will shoot back
NATO has other plans for Iran when this is over
If you are comparing it with Libya, Syria have at least been servicing their planes, so they aren’t all broken.
Syria helped with Iraq and Afghanstan?
Not so well known is that Obama returned probably the current most dangerous terrorist in the world to his homeland in Syria; a man who was also an enemy of the Baa’th Party and Asad family.
Syria locked him up for some years, but a few months ago let him free.
The last heard of him was in Iran, but you can bet all the losses of the small investors in the Facebook IPO that the CIA and M16 are sweating blood on trying to locate this man.
A situation the UK media and politicians are keeping quiet about – wonder why?
Rule no.1 for the socialist political elite: token ethnic appointments (especially Muslim) cannot be dismissed/demoted.
You are not talking about Cammers are you
Once claimed for Allah it always belongs to Allah and jihad must be the response to any threat.
It’s racist to quote the koran terrorism manual (unless you are of the more-equal faith).
I’m curious about the Guardian coverage about this, and can only imagine the hours, nay, weeks of handwringing that went into balancing the dual factors of Warsi being conservative (Bad) vs woman (good) and Muslim (best thing EVA!!!).
Seriously, being conservative must be off the chart for “bad” for them to have run with this story.
I’ll get up at about noon.
Don’t bother
I’m sure the skill, talent and life experiences that led to Warsi becoming Chairman of the (Fake) Conservative Party will assist her during this difficult time.
I’d give her one.
You’ve got a dog.
The dog is so clapped out now
In his book ‘The Islamic Republic of Dewsbury’, Danny Lockwood has two interesting local anecdotes about Warsi:
” He tells how she sat next to one of his staff in the hairdressers wondering aloud whether to accept the political courtship of the Labour Party or the Conservatives. Both parties could see the value of an articulate educated and ambitious Muslim woman. Her history in the ‘human rights’ field suggested she was left wing, but the Conservatives offered immediate local career openings.
One story I cannot resist repeating. HSBC bank sponsored an Eid celebration for 2000 people organised by Shahid Malik. Warsi wangled invitations for her family from the bank. As she tried to enter the main hall Shahid Malik told her that no women were allowed in the hall and that she should join the other women downstairs. She defied him and walked into the hall which may have ultimately cost her votes. Her choice has served her well. She lost in the 2005 election but gained a life peerage 2 years later.”

Local councillors with world power attitudes no wonder the fkin country is in a mess, time for these tossers to understand, they got voted in to work for the people who voted them in, apart from Warsi she seems to have appeared from nowhere.
If David Cameron was run over by a bus? Would anyone notice?
If Ed Balls was run over by a bus. Would you donate to the bus repair fund?
If Warsi was run over by a bus, would there be any blood?
If Vince Cable was run over by a bus, would Murdoch get the blame?
If Leveson was run over by a bus, would there be an inquiry?
If Blair was run over by a bus, would he die or just ascend into Heaven
If Clegg was run over by a bus, would it be the same bus as Cameron’s
Cameron couldn’t get run over by a bus. it would be beyond him.
This Country would collapse with out me and Incapable Vince.
If Gordon Brown was run over by the bus it would be the bus’s fault
There’d be skidmarks and Brown stains.
True. The Number 47 starts in America.
Any idea where we can lay hands on these buses and their super competent dr, er, operatives?
Yes, America. Everything that went wrong during the Reign of Terror 1997-2010 started in America.
You’ve got the dates wrong – should be 1979-1997. The Garden Festivals were nice however.
If Farage was run over by a bus, it would be the result of a publicity-grabbing loop-the-loop gone wrong.
If Tom Watson was run ……oh wait look at the mess of the bus !
If Blair was run over by a bus, I’d give the driver a medal
If Boris Johnson were run over by a bus, it would be a “bendy” taking revenge.
If Twatson was hit by a bus – the fucking bus would be a write off.
All very amusing but it is all off-topic. Not a problem on this blog it seems.
Ministers in rapid U-turn on plan to attack buzzards
Plans to destroy buzzard nests are dropped less than a week after they were made public in one of the fastest government U-turns
Keep up, that was yesterday’s
Where’s the alternating current on badgers this morning? DC he ain’t.
Somehow, politicians going after buzzards has a turkeys-and-Christmas air to it.
At least the minister did an immediate U turn. But why did he even think he could get away with it? I suppose as a millionaire country land owner pheasant shooter he thought he knew better than others. What is little known though, is that Dave is a keen pheasant shooter.
PS Most Docs that aren’t GP’s work privately as well. I wonder is this mostly pro-bono for the betterment of society? Or for the betterment of their bank account?
Take a number
When your number is called
Give us our pensions.
For the record, I f**king hate Bono.
Coulson, Warsi, Hunt… it’s going to be a good week. What will next week hold?
Eyerak, Eyeran, and Syreeah?
Hunt worse then Warsi!

They have a “Code of Conduct” and a Committee? Well. I never…..
testing:
Hunt
Roger.
Roger Hunt?
I’m free !
And Andy Carroll.
Lewis to you.
olymopic beer £7 a pint

better start saving all you nazi freekz
Have you tried Spocsavers?
Too gassy, and the alcohol content is only 2% BV. Prefer a nice chilled meths, meself, imbibed on the bench outside the library with my peers.
Our library was shut.
According to Spock the prices will be astronomic. Savers should keep away.
Spock says prices will soon be in orbit. Raise your glasses.
£2.30 for a can of coke!!!
A line of the stuff would be cheaper.
According to today’s Mail, that pint is your quota for the duration of The Games.
greedy bastards again in rip off Britain
I am going but I wont buy one single thing now out of principle
Anyone know why the UK is still pretending to be a World Power?
Because believe it or not, most countries are even worse.
Our politicians are doing their best to “fix” this.
Because being neutral like Switzerland, staying out of costly foreign wars and being a world financial centre doesn’t seem like a good idea to our nation’s political masters.
Problem is that since Churchill all the UK’s world saving politicians’ that sent our troops to war have never been in the services, and make sure their families never do either.
They consider this a good enough reason to never understand the military mind. Just do as I say is their answer. The last government had a union sheet metal worker in charge. You could not make it up.
This lack of both military and indeed work experience outside of the closed world of politics and its associated trades (PR, lobbying etc..) is the defining feature of our current political class. It shows their continuing disengagement with the concept of public service as having value in itself and not as a stepping stone in their own careers. Simply put they rule you for their benefit not yours.
i am a lifelong tory
Warsi has to go. She is a fiddler. Disgraceful
I’m getting a good spanking at Leveson!
im going to get a good spanking later from Miss Blister
I Like Pasties and Jobbies !
can i have my job back now ?
Leveson and I are great friends.
Warsi Whopper
She’ll be gone soon because she has the backing of Cameron. That’s the kiss of death. He backed Coulson and at the moment is backing Jeremy Hunt. He backed one version of the budget and now he’s backing a different one.
