Labour MEP: We Should Have Joined the €uro
Loony Labour MEP Mary Honeyball still wants Britain join the Euro. Writing for LabourList she blindly insists that we would have been better off in the single currency all along, suggesting: “Tony Blair’s instincts on the Euro were right, even in the light of the current crisis.” She goes on to warn:
“The UK has once again failed to join the European project at the right time… if a country is not there at the start they stand to miss out on crucial decisions. The Eurozone seems to be going in the direction of some kind of banking union. This will obviously have an effect on the City of London. Being outside whatever kind of union emerges may well prove problematic for our financial services industry. We in Britain should ask ourselves whether we really want a powerful neighbour with a unified banking system which will be able to challenge, not to say get the better of, our most important industry.”
Dangerous…

Why two pictures of her?
Has Ed Balls commentated on whether joining the Euro is still a great idea
Ed Balls was Jesus at the Treasury to Gordon Brown’s God and in 2002 was fully responsible for letting UK banks use credit insurance from AIG et al to lend more money than normal debt provisioning rules allowed, fuelling the lending boom and the credit crunch we now enjoy.
Everything Labour touches turns to dust, except the wealth of its leaders
Anything that went wrong during The Reign of Terror 1997-2010, which was precious little, started in America.
“We in Britain should ask ourselves whether we really want a powerful neighbour with a unified banking system which will be able to challenge, not to say get the better of, our most important industry.”
LOL!!! – this batty cow is delusional!! Is she perhaps related to Gordon Brown?…
I kept us OUT of the Euro.
Me against the rest and I won.
There would be a statue taller than Nelson’s in Trafalgar Square to me now if I hadn’t been so utterly wrong about every single other thing though.
Yes Gordon, shame about selling our gold and buying Euros.
You only did that to spite me, you headbanger.
Why the long face?
“Being outside whatever kind of union emerges may well prove problematic for our financial services industry. ”
Yes being outside has certainly done a lot of damage to Norway and Switzerland, hasn’t it, you stupid bint?
P.S. which picture is the one with the Labour MEP?
http://www.ifrasia.com/ifr-comment-negative-rates-an-option-in-denmark-and-switzerland/21024621.article
If only the currency gave the strength the Euro ensures lol.
Even with negative interest rates and limited government guarantees, Swiss and Danish banks are still not lending to SME’s just like our banks.
Negative interest rates from a safe haven status is never desirable
The problem is the interbank markets are not functioning as banks don’t trust each other with good reason as the credit worthy don’t want to borrow and the people who desperately do need to borrow are not solvent enough.
The government need to provide credit insurance to banks to lend to SME’s and promote growth
That and shoot Robert Peston for making up shit about how bad it all is
Banks RARELY lend to small business anyway.
As my gran, bless her little cotton socks, used to say: She must have been dropped on her head as a baby.
That’s why he’s called “Midarse” – everything he touches turns to shite.
This ugly bitch is as mad than a motherfucker!
Sorry.”mad as”. Modbot strikes again!
The Modbot started in America too.

As readers will recall, the actual office that blew up the world the first time around, was not even based in the US. It was a small office located on the top floor of 1 Curzon Street in London’s Mayfair district, run by one Joe Cassano: the head of AIG Financial Products. The reason why this office of US-based AIG was in London, is so that Cassano could sell CDS as far away from the eye of Federal regulators as possible. Which he did. In fact he sold an unprecedented $2.7 trillion worth of CDS just before the firm collapsed due to one small glitch in the system – the assumption that home prices could go down as well as up. Yet the real question is why he sold so much CDS? The answer is simple – in a world of limited real assets, the only way to generate a practically limitless cash flow annuity would be to sell synthetic insurance on a virtually infinite amount of synthetic underlying. Which he did. Only when it came time to pay the claims, AIG blew up, forcing the government to bail it out, and set off the chain of events where we find ourselves now, where every day could be the developed world’s last if not for the ongoing backstops, guarantees and bailouts of the central banking regime.
If we had been in the Euro Call me Dave would have had the ear of Mrs Merkel, then she couldn’t have treated him as an anoying meddling outsider.
Oo Whopee Do!
Jeez, you’re thick.
You mean Murky would have had his balls in a vice-like grip. Looks like she still does, actually!
Idiocy is a terminal condition in Durr’s case, he really doesn’t understand anything at all. Let’s hope he is a dustman or bus driver, rather than anyone in a position of power, or we really would be le fcuked.
MORE fucked than we are – Christ on a Boris Bike, he must be a LieBore shadow minister!
Before and after?
This ugly bitch is madder than a motherfucker!
Stupid and ugly .. a bad combination…
It’s one of the criteria for being a lefty.
Oh you bring back such memories of the seaside pier!1 When I was a kid the laughing policeman reduced us to childish giggles.
And you’re right, prezza is a ringer for that laughing policeman in the glass case on the pier.
I would give her one. Boaz.
I look better without glasses, EEEYYOOORRR
“not to say get the better of, our most important industry.”
This girl needs serious counselling.
It is the “industry” that we should get rid of as soon as possible.
It is the “industry” that has caused this mess in the first place.
It is the “industry” that will make most money out of this mess.
It is the “industry” that will do it all again as soon as it gets chance.
‘they stand to miss out on crucial decisions.’
The only crucial decision o be made by Dave is ‘lets f*ck of out of it now!’
All power to Doug Carswell
I tried to cut a Hollande Pie.He said ‘Non’
They will be making them in England if Hollande puts taxes up to 75%.
It’s a well known fact in Holland Pie country, that you have to down at least 6 pints of Bitter to anesthesise yourself against the effect before biting into one.
It’s well known His Holiness talks in text-speak. Not so well known that he should have gone to Specsavers.

Have you seen the link?? VERY hostile for the Labourlist!!
My instincts on WMD in Iraq were right as well !
Ha! Pity your instinct (and alycampbell’s) on lying was in abeyance.
Even greater pity that your and aly’s sense of compassion and honesty had taken a holiday as the press was briefed to harass poor D r D a v i d Ke l l y!!!
It looks very like the unmentionable one is putting feelers out via lesser beings, he still thinks that he is the greatest thing since sliced bread
Good point – the sadder thing is of the great remaining Labour unwhite-washed who still live the ‘living lie’ that is Blair and who still live in denial of his greater crimes against humanity. But having made their beds – they’re hardly likely to ever admit that he ‘fooled them too’.
Entrapped – in their own bubble of fiction and still trying to sell on ‘his lies’ … Oh dear.
Dave Cameron think’s St. Tone of Truth and Mayhem, is a visionary, worthy of respect and courtesy. Everyone else outside the Westminster bubble think’s he’s a mendacious, troughing, self aggrandising cnut.

Barking mad.
She must have one hell of a lonely brain cell, or is it that being too generous?
One more brain cell and she’d be a vegetable.
She’s one of Stella Creasy’s backers:

Although, we could have borrowed zillions of €’s, had a massive party, and then never paid it back when it all collapses?
Another way of looking at it?
So that’s plan Z for saving the Eurozone is it?
It’s plan A for fleecing the gullible…

Barking mad – and not at all Poplar!
As stupid as she is ugly.
Labour through and through.
How dare you !!
I dare quite easily I think you will find.
Mock outrage – we do it so well, dontcha think ?
How very dare you!
Shes another one who sends her kids to an exclusive fee paying private School. Its the hypocricy that sickens me.
Is she the one who’s dad is a professor and her mum was a mayor.
And she reckons she’s one of us?
You are correct, Anonymous.
She is also one of Ed Milibland’s Climate Change nuts previously at DECC. As a barrister who specialised in human rights law she must be used to arguing that cold is warm, and black is white.
No surprise then that as Shadow Attorney General she has been oddly quiet on the many years of ethnic-rape that went oddly unreported and ignored under NuLiebour misrule.
Only if “us” is made up of thick, ugly, fat munters
Er .. she’s a Labour MP, so yes, “problem family” is the right label. Besides which, she’s pig ignorant and can barely speak English.
Doesn’t bob(£100k) crow live in a council ‘ahse?

Where were these people in the queue when they were handing out brains ?
Or looks
She thought they said trains and asked for a slow one.
You complainin’ ? Everybody aaaaht !
LOL!!!!
Fucking hell
We in Britain should ask ourselves whether we want the likes of Mary Honeyball as an MEP, or, indeed, whether we want any MEPs at all.
The only legitimate position for a UK MEP, is one of a fifth columnist working towards the destruction of the enemy of this country, the EU.
Delusional twat.
Cleegg,Heseltine and Clarke still believe that.Surely the NHS could help?
Even I said the Euro wasn’t a god idea.
Me! The dumbest,reddest,hypocritical,tosser of the looney left.
Even I said it was a bad idea.
How come this numbnuts hasn’t got the message?
I think you’ll find its a rally call for The Blair to put his name down for President of Europe .Probably all Blairite MEPs have had an email.
“hi guys! Look..Big up uncle Tone and it’ll totally be worth your while.
I’ve got some great ideas for Europe..Bigger limos..Larger expenses..daily gift baskets included in the package..And a pension pot so large you could see it from space.
So ..you know…Put on ‘I gotta feeling’ by Black Eyed P/eas to get you in the mood and start putting the word out..”
hmmm..hmm…hum..I gotta feeling..tonight’s gonna be a good night..that tonight’s gonna be a good, good night..I gotta feeling..yeewho…
After the financial Armageddon the EU will rise again like a phoenix under the glorious leadership of President Blair supported by his very beautiful wife.
Oh, is Bliar getting divorced?
No need, Carole’s still a great fuck
Mad as a fish, though. Especially when she gets out her crystal pyramid.
Please dont say beautiful, otherwise like all the worker bees, we may be required to service her. Personally, I’d rather service Guido, and I do consider myself Mr Straight of Straight Town, on the day when hetrosexual is the only option!
I notice you say nothing about the Sidekick
Sir Aston – the sidekick, at least falls on the right side of the fence!
He certainly picked my cherry!
But I was worf it!
Did you mention Baskets? Is that a ref to basket cases … like mouchel’s share price?
How is is that such a buffoon is able to be chosen as an MEP, or should it be asked, how do so many baffoons get chosen for the left and liberals? Just how deluded can anyone get?
Britain uses “lists” rather than directly electing individuals.
People vote for which party in European Parliament elections, and the parties send the top x names of their lists.
It’s easier to load up pro-EU people on lists, than it is to get them elected individually :\
Democr-what?
So that explains why she was sent abroad. If she was a proper MP, every time she opened her mouth the Commons would fall about laughing and nothing would ever get done. She would be tough competition for the 2 Eds to match.
Cheer leading for the EU & the Euro – I’d expect nothing less from a Labour MEP.
She knows which side her bread is buttered
I could never understand that saying. You’d have to be an utter moron not to know which side your bread’s buttered, which rather suggests, in fact, that she doesn’t.
I doubt if she’ll do very well in the next MEP elections. Although there are enough stupid left wing tw@s who will still vote for her.
It’s a list system. The least representative and democratic.
The whole EU is ‘listing’ – abandon ship!!! women and children first.
She was elected. What kind of shit-brained moron votes for a cretin like this?
Well most certainly not West Indian mothers – they’d only vote for me.
erm…
Someone who is offered a rigged party list system?
Exactly; ‘elected’ is stretching it a bit.
… as the lady MEP said to the marrow.
I like short lists
I’m going to take her outside and shoot her in front of her family – then she’ll be talking some sense!
just seen that Rod Liddle quote opposite.
You have to hand it Clarkson and Liddle and Gervais . They just don’t give a shit for PC mongery.
Although hacking a phone doesn’t get you to the ‘live’ conversation, does it?
Don’t know – he and I have never done it….
Technically she wouldn’t be able to say anything, so you’re right Jezza.
how do people find these websites ?
Most of them have a computer.
Off topic, but has anyone got the phone number of Jimmy Carr’s accountants ?
Try “The men from Mazars (MOS of some years ago). They apparently do very good cooking classes as well.
Hiya, Fawkes ♥
You do realise that, between your good self and the BBC, you are making the truth impossible to discern?

AS Mary correctly maintains on her website she represents the Labour Party.
So it doesn’t matter what her constituents think. She doesn’t represent them.
She is also doing an excellent job of upholding her commitment to the oath that all MEPs take to put loyalty to “ever closer union” above all other values and indeed above common sense. She is what my old mentor V I Lenin would class as a “useful idiot”. But Nick ‘n’ dave and Gideon are young and handsome so they’re my favourite little puppets today.
The best place to be when the tent is on fire is outside pissing in.
Tents are banned due to the potential health hazard.
I know that for a fact.
It would have been more sensible not giving the l*bour party twats the matches in the first place
London has nothing to fear from a combined European bank. It will not be efficient or attractive to world investors. It will squander more money on officials than London’s banking elite and will have the flexibility of the Queen Mary trying to turnaround on the high seas. It will be a lesson in how to finally kill off the Euro experiment whilst making all its members poorer. But not the MP’s, which I suspect is where she is coming from.
Who’s Mary Honeyball anyway?, not even her constituents have ever heard of her (just as well you might say), no, I want to hear from Kinnochio (£12 million quid and rising), seems to have gone very quite of late (just as well you might say). Should we join the Euro Neil, and what would be your solution to the present meltdown (ahem complete fuckup) the EU has given as a gift to the World?.
Yakky Dar? (FFS).
Crazy name, crazy woman.
Wonder what Kinnochio’s tax arrangements are, btw.
Wonder what the kinnochio’s pension fund looks like now? It was topping a £million or something a few years back. With all the additional troughing over the last few years and his Misses doing her worthless spell in the HoL for gordon, they’re raking it in!
Worthless is the word, Nell. (Although according to the Brainwashing Dept at the BBC, he’s the ‘best prime minister we never had.’ That would be because Margaret Thatcher was better, then.)
Thank the Lord we never got kinnochio as PM!!!!
gordon was chringeworthy. kinnochio would have been 10 times worse!
I thought he was in charge of the accounts and sacked some woman who refused to sign them off, could be relevant in the circumstances
Kinnochio! so thats what the K in K2 stands for!
Mount Kinnochio (no smut… please).
Mount kinnochio – that’ll be that mountain of money he’s building outside of his welsh palace won’t it?!
All at our expense of course!!
Don’t mention the ‘Still unaudited accounts of the EU’ otherwise you’re on a diversity course like all local councillors who report themselves for the ‘reindoctrinationing’.
Over 200,000 REAL jobs created in the first 3 months of the year, not bad for a country supposedly in recession. Needless to say the BBC concentrated on reporting negative stories about it.
Oh for the glory days of St Gordon of One eye hey BBC?
Employment/Unemployment statistics are a joke and have been for years.
‘Nobody knows’ is the truth.
But when Nu Liebore were in power the BBC happily recited unemployment like Soviet tractor production stats.
There was never any question it was good news, now it’s not.
Trouble is, all those jobs went to foreign nationals.
Fuck the BBC, Prick Robinson up to his usual tricks.
And you’re watching it?
Yes, he is!
Sad fuck.
It’s dirty work, but someone has to do it.
Stupid ugly woman, never had a proper job.
Oh…
BBC types clearly not happy that the rich tax scam has been outed. I really can’t wait to see how many BBC twats use it.
Give Murdoch the ball and see if he’ll run with it.
They’ll do their best to make sure we don’t find out, that’s a fact (we’re just the scum who pay them.)
The BBC always use that crappy defence of “commercial sensitivity” as if someone else is going to give that bunch of tossers a job.
You’ve got to hand it to Liebour. They seem to have cornered the market when it comes to retards.
Deary me.
She’s clearly gone native.
Fuck me a Labour Politician who appreciates Bankers.
Does Ed know?
I saw a debate recently on France 24 between UKIP boss Farage and some muppet libdem MEP, needless to say the limp dick MEP proclaimed the Euro a stunning success that we should have joined. What goes on in the minds of these deluded nutters is beyond me but there are plenty of libdems and Tories like Clarke who truly believe the Euro to be a winner of a currency.
Silly bitch. Ought to be hanged.
… before or after being banged? Or both?
Ah bless. It takes real determination and a lot of hard work to be
so blindly stupid.
ITV lead with lefty comedian avoiding tax, BBC make it story 8.
I suspect that’s because most of the beeb’s senior folks are doing the same thing. best not draw attention to it!
Be interesting to see how many of those who have jumped to Carr’s defence have the same tax arrangements.
Try the world of Football and its managers and agents. In fact try the world of legals!!!
B-b-b-but of course it is item #8 today, the BBC have so much more important news to tell you about .. like..
Oh, look over there! Some clouds.
Probably the post-cliamtegate Rio junket is #1 in the eco fascist BBC.
Well whewre I live, the life/death struggle of Mubarek was the lead.
“The Eurozone seems to be going in the direction of some kind of banking union.” (Honeyball)
Yes. It is called “bankruptcy”.
FFS a pig in knockers is a pig in knickers…allegedly ! Absolutely on the gravy train bonkers !
hahahahahaha knickers not knockers !! sorry a Borisism there….
Well I don’t know about those things but she’s utterly lacking in brain cells!
Please keep her in the public eye.
This woman is more loopy than gordon!
So lefty luvvies think the tax scam used by Take Twat is a really good idea as it supports new bands.
Well good, so presumably if the Government shuts the loop hole that allows them to claim back twice as much tax relief as the money the put in, they’ll still do it as it’s a really good idea?
I won’t be holding my breath.
But expect to see the BBC, Guardian etc now try to smear the Tories and protect their lefty mates. Note the BBC won’t be interested in any rich donors to give to Liebore who are not paying their full tax whack.
Oh and as for the Guardian, how much tax do they pay again? Square root of fuck all I think.
Being outside whatever kind of union emerges may well prove problematic for our financial services industry.
Why? The unified Eurozone banking regime will of necessity consist of a series of compromises and trade offs. However well Britain’s negotiators fare (and they generally don’t do so well when facing the assembled might of the mainland political establishment) the country will need to accept a load of conditions that do not really suit it’s domestic banking industry. Outside the structure Britain will be able to watch progress, adopt any measures that do suit its circumstances but reject those that don’t.
To my mind that’s a far better situation than being stuck in yet another “one size fits none” Euro-solution.
All unions are good. Join one and pay our fat salaries.
Given that everybody here contributes enormously to the growing economy of the british elites, it makes sense for this mad woman to want to join the euro – after all, the alternative is to join the dollar as the yanks control most of the world – legally or illegally – anyway

This man is a fool: it started in America.
Refreshing to listen to a voice of reason for once and I would add to Brown, Obama spins, especially Brown spins, it was never about ‘the Global’ unless you grasp of geography is woefully weak, 3/4 of the worlds population including some rather large continents: Indian, China, S. America, Australasia, Africa, never signed up for the Ponzi scheme, so can we nail that lie once and for all.
I would.

Just a thought – how much does this woman earn ie troughs off us taxpayers?
How much does she claim off us for unjustified expenses?
How many hours does she ‘work’? – is she in brussels on a Friday or is she one of those hundreds of MEP’s who sign off thursday night, claim fridays expenses and clear off home early on 1st class airtravel which we also pay for?
And how much pension pot fund for her non-contribution to real work are we going to have to find when she gives up her non-job and retires early?

Has Owen Jones spouted his dislike of Jimmy Carr’s tax dodging yet?
Funny that the left are trying to spin this about nasty capitalist companies now.
Yes but the fact is Carr was on TV attacking companies for the very thing he was doing himself, that is what the BBC, Channel4 etc seem to be ignoring.

Researchers have come up with a way to glimpse the Universe in its infancy, thanks to a quirk of light.
They say this can be achieved by capturing the specific radio wavelength of 21cm from the heavens.
The trick is to tell the difference between 21cm waves from our galaxy and those from distant, ancient sources.
The fact that “dark matter” moved faster than normal matter in the early Universe should help amplify the distant signal, they report in Nature.
Thanks for that explanation of why all our money has disappeared down a black hole.

All true
We we’re right to sell the gold and announce the sale beforehand.
indeed
It was the right thing to do.
Point 4
“The BBC have a right-wing bias.”
They already believe that.
Peter ‘Kiora’ Haines said last year after Aunty Beeb reported something or other…
“and the BBC sides with the tories, quell suprise”!!!
Un-be-lievable.
Hain was the guy found to have ‘forgotten’ £103,156 in ‘donations’ to get him elected as Deputy Leader of the Labour Partywhich he avvordingly failed to declare. On 3 July 2008, the Metropolitan Police announced that they had referred Peter Hain’s case to the Crown Prosecution Service, but on 5 December 2008 the CPS announced that Hain would not be charged “because Hain did not control Hain4Labour that funded his campaign”.
A large part of those funds had been channeled through a non-operating think tank, the Progressive Policies Forum. On 12 January 2009, Peter Hain released a statement saying that, being busy with his government jobs, it was simply ‘forgotten’.
Egypt’s Mubarak ‘health worsens’ .
It will improve when he dies.
W all live and then we die.
Most of us hope that we live to best of our ability and that when we die we meet our God at the Pearly Gates with a clear conscience.
This political lot including loony brown and saint bliar can hardly square their conscience with that vision so I wonder where they think they are going?
Do you really think Blair believes in an after-life?
Avidly, why do think he keeps hedging his bets.
We don’t do Blair.
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
If the Lord won’t have you
The Devil must.
Yep I think he and the letterbox one believe like the Egyptian Pharoahs that they can take their wealth and influence with them.
Why else are they troughing mega-time to make as much money as possible, by any means possible, whilst doing absolutely nothing worthwhile for mankind, up to the time they die!
Nell, if I could fathom the mind of Blair, I wouldn’t be posting on here. Maybe in The Vatican.
Amen
Hey if he dies – his condition will not get any worse. Look on the bright side.
Err, this is becoming circuitous.
It’s like when that corrupt old bastard Arafat died.
It was described as his condition was stable When he was dead! The cronies were fighting to get control of all the loot.
Absolutely. I wonder who’ll be battling for their loot as the bliars peg out?!
Surely it would be far easier to make companies paying fees rather than PAYE deduct tax automatically at the top rate of 45%. If the punter felt that they had overpaid tax then there should be a reclaim procedure in which they had to prove to HMRC that they were entitled to a refund.
Has the BBC been complicit in this little scam by paying monies into a Jersey bank account?
Shhhhhhh!
Yes.
Do the accountants advising the likes of Carr, pay their full taxes?
If so, not so clever then. If not go for them.
She ain’t making a particularly fashionable point and perhaps is not doing it particularly well.
If you just think for a moment what would happen if Eurozone pulled together and out of this mess?
Well you would have a population mass bigger than the US with a single currency and economy to dwarf the greenback
No doubt if this comes to pass Cameron will claim credit for urging action from the sidelines.
Obama and the Chinese are happy to stay on the sidelines and not help too much.
The US is federal because it had no history. Asia is not federal because it has. Ditto Europe. A united states of Europe may well be the evolution – but not now. Perhaps not for 50 to 100 hundred years. Barossa is barking up the wrong tree.
”All pull together”.
Lend the banks money at 0.5 pct
Borrow money from the banks at 5.0 pct.
Give borrowed money to grease to pay the loans they have taken out from the same banks at 8 pct
and never pay anything back.
instead – print money.
”to get out of this mess”
and what if we found a real magic money tree looked after by a skittle shitting unicorn…
Typical BBC.
Unemployment down, inflation down.
Neither fact shown in headlines.
BBC Headline: ‘PM denies Britain in 30′s-style Slump.’
I kid you not.
Did they get a reporter to ask this question specifically so that they could put this headline up instead of the inconvenient truth?
Growth in the 1930s (after the Wall Street Crash) recovered more quickly than after the 2007 event
So the current recovery(?) is spectacularly weak.
But for the first time it seems private sector job creation is soaking up public sector job losses. Just think, each public sector pension saved is equivalent to 18 pensions in the private sector. It’s all good.
Anything that reduces the obscene and iniquitous public sector pensions is fine by me.
No surprise, just look at what Labour are saying and within minutes the BBC are saying the same thing.
It’s got such a nice ring to it I thought I might try to make some falafel
Suus got talis a nice anulum ad eam ego ego experiri ad aliquid falafel
Loony Left says it all. This was the woman who blogged on her web site that a million men would be working on the Olympic building site. A million men!!!!
What a way to solve the unemployment problem, employ a million men to do the job of at most ten thousand at any one time.
A responsible politician. Never! A loony politician with no idea about economics still causing havoc. Never trust Labour with the economy.
British jobs for British workers !
It started in Kirkcaldy…
‘ That full quote from Ben Bernanke on Europe in full:
I do think that the European situation is slowing US economic growth. First of all, Europe is not in a recession in every country, certainly many countries are in recession and that affects our trade with Europe and the demand for our products. More broadly, the effects of European concerns on financial markets have added to volatility, have brought down stock prices, have increased credit spreads and generally have been a negative for economic growth.’
People actually pay money to watch that ?
If I call OFCOM a bunch of fucking c’unts can I get paid £3 million?
I’d like that taxed at 1% too!
Only if they’re thick fucking cun*ts
I’d like to wise this Hunt up. Can I have her addy?
I think it’s called filth. No doubt bliar, gordon, alyc and balls thought it was very educating!
Yes, £3.3 million a year.
The kiddies Jimmy, think of the poor kiddies!
Norman Smith is at it again. On the BBC just now he claimed that the Government had “named one person”.
No it was the Times that named Jimmy Carr.
Funny as the BBC didn’t have a problem when the Times went after the Tory Treasurer did they?
Fill in a complaint form and we’ll
shred itdeal with it.Typical of the biased BBC but why will no one take them to task?
The BBC are in breach of the Royal Charter by taking money from the EU, they’re blatantly biased toward the Labour party and the whole Europ*an project. If they can’t or won’t be impartial and continue not to represent the people of this country then let them go to a subscription service and lets see who is willing to pay for their bullshit.
Jimmy Carr
Jonathan Ross
Jo Brand
Graham Norton
A least a dozen celebrity chefs,
and a further list much longer than I can be bothered to recall.
What have they all got in common?, tax avoidance and a VIP seat on the BBC luvvy couch.
Ha, Ha!
Tax is for suckers!
But what about all those poor kiddies that died of cancer because there was no NHS funding Jimmy?
Think of the kids Jimmy FFS!
I did think of them UK, as my mum died of cancer.
I thought at least she paid her fair share of fucking taxes for her treatment!
our jimmy’s gone quiet…….i wonder….it couldn’t be
Mary Honeyball would get more respect if she recommended running into a building while it was burning down.
Which reminds me of the comment that Kate Winslet would have been more of a heroine if she had picked up Richard Branson rather than his mother and carried him back into the building.
Yes..I see it.
Sky are hopelessly biased. They need shutting down.
I agree, it’s disgusting!
We need another Leveson enquiry in to this!
Heads must roll.
Where’s Tubby Twatson when you need him?
LOL at BBC “it’s a surprise”
Sky “It’s not a surprise”
Fuck the BBC, mind you I could give Charlotte Hawkins a good seeing to, she’s got legs that go on forever.
Well done, at lease some one got it.
Guido, give this man a cigar!
Only problem is that it was a surprise to all the investment houses I know. Clever ploy though. Put Crass Graything forward and noone will remember their own name after 10 seconds.
Along time coming.

I just hope the old feller hit the vinegar stroke before the mud slide.
WHAT A STUPID B1TCH!
Could you be more specific. You have just described half the female MPs and a large number of elderly queens on both sides of the house.
Dangerous. No. Bonkers. Yes.
Why not the Cuban Peso?
Heel !
Crystal vclear to see what RED Milliband does re tax avoidance as he stutters and tombstones his way through mumbling that he really can’t condemn tax evasion – c”"t.
Who the hell is this Honeywoman bint?,never heard of her so she is not breaking much ice.
However now she has opened her gob before getting her brain in gear she has proved once again amongst Liebour ranks that idiot thinking prevails.
This EUSSR non democratic bunch of comissars,Barrosovitch/Rumpyvitch have only one goal as we know.
The house of cards is collapsing and the banksters will make sure of that as they are doing right now.
Finally we see this woman trougher who it seems has shite for brains wanting us who are paying for this ponzi scheme to agree with her that the EUSSR would have been the right course for us.
What a tosser!.
I think you’ll find Hairy Moneyball wasn’t actually elected – she was just the next on the Labour list when one of its London MEPs Pauline Green-something was asked to step down for robbing the taxpayer too obviously. As i recall she had her Mercedes sent by train to Brussels or Strasbourg every week by train

But only if they are muscling in on our drugs rackets.
Hmm, I’m still waiting for Newsnight to mention lefty tax dodgers. Let’s be honest if Jimmy Carr and been a right winger and the story had come from the Guardian, the BBC would be all over it.
The’yd be trying to find a link to Cameron
Cameron started it for FFS!
And NN are all over now you fucking twat!
No I didn’t, you invaded Poland first!
Allegra Stratton just admitted that the BBC will be looking at Camerons family and Tory MP’s as ‘fair game’ over tax now.
Cameron didn’t name anyone, it was the fucking Times you BBC bell ends.
And he was responding to a question.
But he made any of his colleagues or family fair game. May not have been his brightest move ever.
Emily Mateless is acting a little weird on NN, hiding under a foot of makeup she seems to be a little drunk and wobbly. Is she worried that the off-shore tax dodge net is tightening.
Beeboids are clearly in a panic, it’s obviously a well used scam, the BBC should be told by the Government that ALL their staff should be PAYE. Either you work for the BBC or you don’t.
Nothing will happen and we all know it. If Dave took action Lord Cashbox would have him offed by some of those nice gentlemen he does business with.
Is that Jacob Rees-Mogg for real?
Shurely he’s puttin it on?
No real person looks or talks like that…do they.
Is he J-e-w-i-s-h?
Martian, I believe.
Oh dear!
On NN tonight Tim Welloiled sad Assange was on RT (Russia Today) earlier today, “which is widely seen as a Kremlin mouthpiece”.
LMFAO…it’s the only fucking news station we ever get any semblance of truth from!
There is, of course, a perfectly respectable argument for joining the euro known as the German position. You join at a time when to do so effectively devalues your currency, making your economy super competitive and forcing all the other countries who end up with an overvalued currency to pick up the tab. Timing is everything……
Hahahahahahahahaha…
FUCK YOU ALL!
You’ll always have our full support against these nasty Tories.
That’s it Jimmy, you shown those baby eating Tory bastards!
He really is an annoying little shit. He can’t even do a tie up properly
But you have no answers to the points he has made though do you? Most people wouldnt care if he wore his tie round his leg just as long as he talked sense. And yes to those with no answers he would be annoying.
We certainly need more QE – I’ll write an emergency treatise – trust me on this one!
To infinity and beyond!
Tosser!
He seems to have a black gag with an arrow on it round his mouth. Is he in prison?
What happened to the Bacon that bloke was going to bring Londistan?
Simples: Vote UKIP
Or if your a working class scrubber like me vote B&P!
So why is Dave condemning peeps for obeying his tax laws?
Possibly because said peeps are a making huge wads of cash by pretending to be socialists, get caught crapping on your own doorstep comes to mind, Jimmy, Jimmy.
Because they are immoral
It is perhaps difficult for many tories to accept , that the ruin made a paper paradise , that they did not see past early enough . The ruin was most adept at procuring troughs for the fallen to feed from . In some ways he created a sort of rich person pavlovion realtionship to poltics . In keeping the troughing machine well funded , he made a set of rich idiots who then went onto to make poor fools out everyone else . 1.2 mn manufacturing jobs were lost under the ruin , even in the good times …….
Mary Honeyball gives me the wood.
For that matter, Honey Badger gives me the wood.
Gordon Brown don’t give a shit!
Why oh why do people vote for such daft socialist fat arsed cows?

After you.
I wish my brother would stick his head in a bucket of boiling chipfat.
Not that you’d notice the difference.
I think Dave’s jimmy Carr dodge is working well, in as much as it seems to have got the beeboids on their toes; this morning on toaday the scotchman was actually agreeing with the Torie minister about Dave’s intervention and, shock horra, implied that poopy-face milliduck was wrong!!!!!
In one respect she’s right.
The Maximum Imbecile managed to destroy the UK currency and was reduced to printing money by 2008 just to pay the bills.
The ECB hasn’t yet started printing money. They may yet throw out the UK-like economies of Greece, Spaine etc and maintain the integrity of their currency. By contrast the GBP has been reduced to the status of proto-Zim dollars.
‘Shall we print just another few more hundred billion Mr Mugabe….just this one last time….’
Hmm. So there are two of us pro-Euro types now.
The only question we in Britain should be asking is why the hell are we still involved in this over-priced, corrupt, anti-democratic Super State in the making when it is clear from the interim report of Juncker, Barroso, Van Rumpoy and Cathy that this is the clear and unambiguous direction of travel.
You have got to love Labour MEP’s! Only job in the world that you do not need to know ANYTHING about ANYTHING and still get paid a fortune for non-delivery (plus expenses of course).
Oh no, you can just be an MP for that, and they are all receiving money for not doing a lot. That does include ALL THE PARTIES
“The Eurozone seems to be going in the direction of some kind of banking union”
Bit of a typo, maybe?
OK, let me get this right. The banks are at fault for first lending and now they are bad guys for not lending. How come not a single person says I borrowed too much and couldn’t afford the repayments!
Get real people, I am not saying the banks or the other Euro countries are not to blame etc, but lets all take some of the blame too. The number of people I have met who blame the banks for giving them money or 150% mortgages! They did not do there sums right and borrowed too much!
I know I will get slated on this, but I honestly believe in the long run, England or the UK would be better off in the Euro than out! How is Britain as amazing a county as it is be able to compete with the likes of the US or China? By joining forces with it’s closest allies! And not by being a little puppy to the US!
