    Gutted for you Guido,that you weren’t mentioned in the Queen’s Honours List.
    At the very least an OBE would have been appropriate.

      If Chris Bryant and his fellow labour hypocrites are so sure Hunt lied, then why doesn’t he accuse Hunt outside of parliamentry privilege. Because he has not got the guts. Bryant prefers the spiteful politics so typical of labour. Bryant is a shit.

        Agreed ‘doctor’. You are so right, but you forgot to call him a sanctimonious little shyte bag too. I’m sure it was an oversight!

    So Alistair Campbell now blames Murdoch over labour going to war in Iraq. Can’t possibly be Blair’s of labour’s fault. Campbell is a scumbag lying shit.
    Just how weak are our politicians if a newspaper owner can dictate government policy.
    Who do you believe Murdoch or Blair, Brown, Campbell. The latter three are proven liars.

      Pawn Sandwich says:

      So the dodgy dossier thing never happened?

      • 35
        The Labour Parteh says:

        No, it didn’t happen. Nothing to do with us. It was all Murdoch. And Thatcher. Both of them made it up. In fact, if Saddam did have any WMDs, they were sold to him by Thatcher. And it was probably thieving-bitch Thatcher who later stole them from him.

        Whatever. It’s all Murdoch’s fault.

    The problem stems right back to the start of the first Blair term when he adopted a presidential style and kitchen cabinet management.

    It runs against everything that ever happened before (maybe Wilson excepted on a much smaller scale.) Proper records were not kept. We know that others were deliberately destroyed and do not imagine these were solely confined to expenses.

    Now it is he said, he/she said and people take predictable sides according to their dogmatic outlook.

    The only variation to this is that so much shine has come off the Blair era, that even many of his enthusiastic supporters now see him as a true villain. Brown unwittingly assisted but he had no shine anyway, certainly in public perception.

    With the rapid development of the internet, it has become worse in government, not better. Sure the welcome sunshine has come flooding in on these undesirables but the old-fashioned idea of which side of the bed did he get out of this morning has been overtaken by an hourly watch of the social media and policy being changed on the hoof, as happened with Argyll and Bute Council yesterday. Cameron, good on his feet as he is (after Brown anyone would be), is just more of the same.

    Perhaps with some return to proper procedure, record keeping, manifesto observance visible to the public, spinners and lobbyists being swept out from the corridors of power and similar, then some stability might be restored. For now I only see it getting worse.

      They place the populace under 24 hr CCTV Surveillance. How about same for them.

        Was in Times Square when the Nixon scandal broke and have photos of electric news ticker display announcing the good news.
        May be of interest to a Historian. ( No, not about Nixon, me )

        • 41

          I wish we had that ticker tape thing at Westminster.

          “Gordon Brown has [belatedly] resigned as Prime Minister and has left {been booted from} Downing street for the last time….Rejoice! rejoice!”

          On a 24 hour loop until 2050.

      LibLabCon = scum says:

      I think the depressing this is, they’ve been exposed on every form of media, 24/7, as thieves, and it’s done no good at all. They’re still there, in the HoC, rather than where they should be, HMP.

      Prime example: Balls and Cooper, man and wife, both claimed for the same sodding house. Blatant theft, of our money. Did they resign in disgrace? Were they sacked? Did they go to prison? Prosecuted? Fined? Did they apologise? Acknowledge their fraud? No. They’re still there, two shameless thieves. One might well become Chancellor of the Exchequer. A proven thief, in Number 11. His wife is often described as a future Labour-leader. A proven thief, a shameless thief, a contemptible lying thief, in Number 10.

      F*ck me sideways with a spoon, it’s no wonder the public regard politicians as muck.

    That transcript of Gordon’s phone message has emerged.

    Gordon to Rupert

    Rupert, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend, not a convenient New Labour supporting newspaper proprietor . I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near party conference or at my house. When Rebekah sees Sarah, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there.

    You understand?

    I don't need no doctor says:

    Gordon Brown says, Sarah Brown is the most forgiving person I know, why she has even forgiven Tony Blair for being responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iraqis.

    Is there no limit to what these people will do to make money?

      Blowing Whistles says:

      Ref to “Is there …… ‘these peoples’ …”

      Do the words: “In it together”, “Judicial Tyranny”, “legal Vultures”, “Above the law they preach to others” etc start to make you think a little bit deeper?

      People have become so believing of what Lawyers state. Is it any wonder Parliament has become so infested with Lawyers???

      They get legal priviledge and Parliamentary privilidge …. Wakey wakey!

      Missed that. I thought she only got a CBE, that’s a Commander of the Order, not a Dame.

      Must have a look al Al Jazeera.

    Blowing Whistles says:

    Richard Scudamore [Premier League chief honcho], Alan Leighton [Serial Executive] and Adam Crozier [Yes man]

    They’ve been supping with and at the alter of the devil incarnate for many years also.

    Bluebottle says:

    I thought it was an honour enough in itself to be elected to serve in public office.

    I thought ex Speaker Martin would have been stripped of his Knighthood by now and his grossly extortionate pension reappropriated by the State to help repay the National Debt.

    I thought it was very rude of that Irish guy from Ryanair to dare to say that Governments are incompetent and regulating against free choice for passengers.

    I thought I knew the difference between a pirouette and a toe poke until I read the Independent.

Lord Tebbit has his say on ‘aggressive homosexuals’:

“Why shouldn’t a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn’t two elderly sisters living together marry each other? I quite fancy my brother!”
