Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
Focus group time. says:
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
Could also be described as “list of Tory MPs guaranteeing they wont be getting a phone call when the reshuffle happens.
II thought there was supposed to be a hundred?
Further names omitted?
Front bench ministers excluding Dave?
Cowards or victims?
They were never going to get called, anyway.
Well that is a lost of the intelligent Conservative MPs.. Jacob Rees Mogg and Caroline Dinenage have a joint IQ greater than the entire cabinet.
Don´t be so sure! There was a time when people thought Chloe Smith was hyper-intelligent
Peter Hain is backing the government. What greater proof is required that Dave has got this badly wrong?
I didn´t know we needed any proof.
It depends how intelligence is defined for politicians. It seems to me that most are quite thick but too many, like Mr Balls and his awful wife, are good at plotting and scheming; that’s not really intelligence. The labour party in particular seems to attract people with those characteristics. I doubt they’d be employable in other than menial jobs in the normal, real world.
lennin, Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Plot were hardly fellows of All Souls but they did understand human nature. In reality, if someone has an understanding of human nature, is cunning, ruthless, agressive and patient ; they can be very successfu in climbing the greasy pole of politics.
Cameron only calls for Lib Dems or over promoted Tory females in any case.
is there going to be EU reform ?
I never wanted David Cameron’s vacuous Christmas Cards anyway! I’ll vote how I like, not how Cameron wants.
Written on 6th Received 9th. Did they have to use Royal Mail?
leave the lords as they are…not fair…barsucks
Checks and Balances are the basis of British Politics, Justice & The Law, Changing the Status Quo by sanitising the Lords, is just another rung in the Ladder to a Federal Europe… so Judging People by their actions and not their Words, Cameron wants Britain in a Federal Europe… another Politician to Deceive and Misslead the British People as to their real intention…. Brown, Blair, Heath & Wilson all hell bent on destroying this Country ?. Judge these men by what they did, not what they said.
Vichy Dave is just the latest in a long line of traitors infesting No.10
Rebels with a cause
The Magnificent Seventy.
The last vestiges of a fast disappearing “Conservative” party
Not fast enough.
Red shift not good enough for you ?
Yeah Jimmy – we need more socialism, like Russia needs more rain and faulty generators.
Never mind that – what about that sanctimonious p***k Millipond on the tv this morning, spouting on about the banks and how terrible….. dot dot, forgetting his own luminary role in this financial disaster: to whit the underfunding of the SF squad, the toothless FSA and the Nu Libor love of banks and all things associated with banking whilst it suited them. To hear the words SME, banking, stewardship uttered in the same sentence by Millibore was the ultimate in hypocracy which I found absolutely offensive. Pay heed Guido!
Labour are at war with the bankth. Labour have alwayth been at war with the bankth.
I bet Ed has a lot more money in more banks accounts (and what are they called financial instruments?) in more countries than those he purports to represent. And how did earn all that money? Captain of industry? Entrepreneur? Inventor? Um. No.
Didn’t he also dodge inheritance tax on an estate in excess of a million quid?
(Note that he opposed Cameron’s plan to raise the IHT threshhold to £1m for mere mortals during the 2010 election campaign.)
That’s my boy!!
Yes. As I have said here many times here how can a family of an illegal immigrant whose “business” is to talk nothing but shit Socialism and worse accrue a family fortune of such size and yet be credible? How? How dare they speak about “our” country when their father did nothing but seride our culture and institutions? How?
Have bandwagon will jump-new liebour policy
No they have not always been at war with the bankers. Brown had a Faustian pact with those bankers. He gobbled up the tax revenue they generated and used it to bribe voters. In return the banks were allowed to do more or less what they liked.
Yep, today’s bandwagon is “letth bweak up the bankth”.
Who let RBS gobble up NatWest? Labour.
Who gave Goodwin a knighthood for “services to banking”? Labour.
Who forced Lloyds to swallow HBoS? Labour.
Who forced Santander to swallow Abbey? Labour.
And Bradford & Bingley? Labour.
Thanks Ed, but we’ll do without your advice on banking.
Leicester Square………….
Santander surely had some Euro connotation too?
And your forgot Northern Rock too.
It won’t be long before they find some dirt on the Co-op Bank……….
Would that be because the Co-Op group give financial support to LieBour & the Unions?
There is sly vein that runs the Co-op movement. It isn’t as angelic as it sells itself.
I’ve only just realised where Bandwagon gave his speech this morning: the fucking Co-op Bank. WTF???
Barking mad the lot of them, aren’t most of these now technically owned by the state?, Business Secretary Vince Cable is also outraged about the Banks not lending to businesses, so that’s what we pay him for, so that he can be outraged about his own incompetence?.
What small businesses want to borrow and be enslaved by Big Banks?
Ed Milliband and his ilk are a joke, the Media especially the BBBC seem to think Labour are still in Government.
Most people with past experience of being let down by the Banks are sitting tight doing the minimum to keep afloat.
Small business wont start moving, whatever the Government says, until they are offered some incentive, Lower Taxes, Lower Rates, etc etc.,
Instead of funnelling the cash into the top of the system and it getting lost in fees and bonuses – Feed money into (or stop taking it out of) the bottom of the system and watch it syphen upwards. When people are left with more of their own money they will start spending.
Exactly.
Small Business’s do not require loans, If they do then they’re in desperate trouble and are a really bad risk.
If you want people to start hiring, then cut the cost of employing people, and that means cutting VAT (the worst tax on working), then ER NI, then EE NI, Then Income tax.
And the minimum wage.
Yeth, and Blinky thays that if I don’t do ath I’m told, he’ll thove his hand even further up my arth and work my two bwain thells manually.
He although thays that my two black eyeth make me look even more like Thooty, and then he laughth!!
The problem with the FSA is not so much that they are toothless, but rather that they bite at random, and generally don’t know who to bite. When they do get hold of something, the bite has hard as they can, all out of proportion to the original offence.
Aggressive and anal muppets, the lot of them.
exactly.
and the cause? The VAST amount of regulation, rather than a much smaller amount of focussed regulation (to control debt volumes and thus prevent systematic risk).
The LibDems slowly slipping beneath the water……..
When were they ever above it?
One can only hope so, but I fear they’ll try for the PR lifeboat.
Bet he’s really glad he got those A-listers…
Less painful than B-listers.
Warts an’ all.
The three points of concern are hard to argue against.
I won the Wimbledon Men’s Final yesterday. I’m now greater than John Macenrow, Born Borg, Pete Semperfi and Roger Federation
Where did you play Gordon? Obama beach?
Just out on TV: What Anton said and the reply from Terry. The CPS person who agreed to the prosecution should be sacked!
Racist.
Yes, we know you’re a racist, Ms Flabbott.
£300 per day, susidised lunch and a good nap in public (sometimes televised). I would not change anything.
That £300 per day does not incur any taxes.
Don’t forget the overnight “expenses” incurred by sleeping in their own, or a friend’s, gaff.
The idea of having two elected chambers is absurd. So much for the primacy of the Commons. Cameron really is an utter fuckwit.
I’m not sure. If the second chamber was tasked solely with removing bad laws it might have a chance.
Of course nothing so sensible would emerge from the HoC.
At least the task of removing bad laws might keep the pampered bastards busy for a while.
I’m not condoning Terry but isn’t there something perverse about Ferdinand being freely able to abuse and insult Terry over his wife’s sexual activities but it becomes a criminal case when Terry uses a racist word against him?
I couldn’t give a toss. Wrong blog, Sir.
The law was passed by both houses. It is as usual, so badly written, that it covers two blokes having jibes at each other, while playing football. A good reason why the HoL should be improved, to stop this nonsense.
It’s a good time to tell all of the HoC wasters, of all parties, to concentrate on real politics and not on knee jerk, populist side shows. We want and deserve,quality, long term governance, not fucking Crackerjack pencils!
should have just Zinadine Zidanned him and sod the invective
So in summation there are two four letter words beginning with C which can be used as a term of abuse but only one of them will lead to prosecution if said and it isnt the
C unt word.
Glad to see my MP on the list, exactly as I would expect.
And my useless party-line-towing parachuted-in female MP is NOT on the list which, unfortunately, is exactly as I expected.
My MP isnt,but NW Cambs will be UKIP at the election.
My MP is on a list. First up against the wall when the revolution comes.
So hosepipe bans are finally lifted, allowing people to pump the water out of their lounges into their gardens.
With the wet spell due to be followed by a cold spell for mid-July, could we now stop the AGW people from indoctrinating our children in their witchcraft?
Alas, lifting the hosepipe ban now means we’re in for a Saharan drought lasting until 2029.
Do you think the non happening of predicted events by “gods messengers” stops those of a religious persuasion.
CAGW is a religion. They’ll just rebrand it as sustainable (whenever was marxism ever sustainable or friendly to ecology?!?) development.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18758667
Exactly. There isn’t anything unusual. Maybe the low death toll thanks to Air-Con technology.
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/08/why-the-u-s-east-coast-heatwave-was-not-unusual-nor-the-number-of-record-temperatures-unprecedented/
Having lived in the Midwest for my sins they have my sympathy. 100F+ and saturation humidity is a killer.
Hmm … the high temperature and humidity couldn’t possibly be due to all the air-con systems they have running, could it ? In my experience you often need to don warm clothing any place that’s air-conned in the US.
Although, I’m not that surprised.
A large proportion of the sun is hydrogen plasma. Although this SHOULD mean that all of the atoms in the condensate move in unison (or, as I think I understand it, as if they were one atom) and should, therefore, be predictable – how many experiments have we modelled/ carried out on something as vast as the sun? And it IS subject to the rules of quantum physics – i.e. in so many ways, and in so many places at the same time, more unfathomable than can be imagined!
Global warming by human means – 0
The Universe – 1
Even the BBC have now tacitly admitted that it is due to a switch in the jet stream, cor blimey, we will be hearing next there are also things called El Ninio, LA Ninia, Gulf Stream conveyors, Solar winds and Sunspots, put that in your computer models and wing it.
I find this sort of thing interesting. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/09/weak-solar-convection-approximately-100-times-slower-than-scientists-had-previously-projected/
Yes, esp. Andy at G55.
Yes thats all very true & factual however it will require even more green
taxes to be implemented as a result of revelation
One that is quickly gaining ground is a new TV Use Tax, the more you have
your TV switched on the more TAX you will have to pay. This is of course in
additional to your mandatory TV Licence
Don’t forget we know who you are & where you are !!!
PLEASE Note The very small matter of the real truth has nothing to do with our always correct actions on the way we present this information
Yes Dahlings, …. after all how else could we, your paradigm thinkers(designing a new and shiny Utopian future for you) be able to afford our little luxuries, like Villas in Tuscany, to fly to when we need to recharge the batteries when we tire ourselves out working tirelessly for the greater good of all the little people.
Thank God Alphonse (and only 18!) is not one of the little people though, because between you and I Dahling, the old pelvic floor has gone on permanent vacation.
Ciao Dahlings!!!

Ferdinand’s behaviour over his Non Selection for the England Squad, is a very clear indication of the quality of the man.
RICHARD FULLER !!!!!!!
Things have changed, if the leader has got him saying no with the bulk of the Right, then things are looking akward
This democracy thing is a con anyway.
It managed to get Prescott into the HoL.
They had to widen the doors though to get Lard Prescott in. And I believe he has a shagging allowance as well.
Is he now known as Lord Two Shags?
Get them all out and elect new ones
Fucking Milimong getting away with it on the BBC yet again. Why won’t NOE FUCKING HACK ask him just once, why Labour didn’t launch a public inquiry into the banks when they all collapsed on his watch?
Why wait for 4 years and then blame the Tories for the ‘wrong type of inquiry?’
It is a well accepted fact that had it not been for the usesless Tory Opposition(before they became the equally useless Tory Government)that Labour would have done this….it is also another universally accepted fact that had the Tories not voted for the Iraq War that it wouldn’t have happened………if that fails to convice..then “It’s all Thatchers Fault !”
Labour have an unblemished record of probity and achievement…it must be true cos’ the BBC says so.
I have to do my best to please Nick!
Help. What’s all the fuss about.
What is Terry supposed to have said to Ferdinand?
He callec hin a f****** b**** c*** – apparently its the b**** which caused the upset – whereas c*** was just accepted as fair comment
Can’t they just treat it as a white lie?
Here here…….. well said sir !!
Keep the bloody wogs under control I say
Mines a very large Gin & Tonic !!!
Here’s to the empire
I saw what you did there!
Whereas,an unprovoked “White people love playing divide and rule” is not even a little bit racist from a black member of Parliament? But a white footballer, who has just been sledged about his private life, comes in for this level of scrutiny?
Somehow, I think the law finds arse and elbow difficult topics to be precise about.
@ Mars Attacks
Read up on Nazi party. The parallels are there. The Left is a product of man’s intellect and so is flawed.
Absolutely – and just like the Nuremberg Trials, can we expect John Terry to be given the death penalty? Still, if Ashley Cole takes it………
Obvious conclusion is that being black is highly insulting.
The correct term is “African-British”.
a nig nog from Niger?
Well let’s face AC1, the bl.a.c.ks don’t like being bl.a.c.k. do they? That’s why all this fuss is so farcical. They can’t change their colour, so they should just ‘suck it up’ as the Yanks would say.
I cannot imagine white Marmite, the essential delicacy of the expat.
I see Trevor Philips is being given free rein by the Beeboids to spout his stuff tomorrow: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kjt7y
The EHRC and the BBC: both a biased drain on public funds.
I like the Boris proposal that the House of Lords
have about 700 members and they themselves
elect new members when vacancies arise.
It may be that their self respect would encourage
them to vote in worthy talents and perhaps elevate
the process beyond party politics.
oooh!! Look up there. An aerial porcine
Would all the loans to the Libor party

have to be repaid if the Lords were reformed ?
I am overjoyed to see Mr Bone as a signatory.
“We need more, smaller banks..Or possibly fewer, bigger banks. Don’t ask me! I’m just climbing on this hayrick to see if it will become a bandwagon,
If not..move on to another one tomorrow…could be anything.
Female circumcision?
Dracula vs Frankenstein?
What’s better for the nation, Xbox or PS3? “
Didn’t the Libor party create fewer banks by merging Lloyds Bank with HBOS and facilitating Fred the Shred’s takeover of Nat West by Royal Bank of Snotland ?
Libor-
I see what you did there.
No thats was called the Gormless Bonkers Brown strategy
by the moron who claims to have saved the universe & beyond
& of course all paid for by the totally screwed UK tax payers with no
say in the matter at all.
ZanuLieLabor’s 13 years of terror in action…….they called it Democracy
How about Android vs iPhone?
Red bull gives them both wings.
I’ve got wings on my Tena Lady, Dahling, and they are a godsend, I tell you a godsend!
With the old pelvic floor gone walkabout, poor young Alphonse has to go at it like a jackhammer – I call it the Alphonse Response!

Exclusive ! letter shown on Sky news this morning !
Who do you think sold it to Sky?
Royal Mail of course !!
Fair point well made. The posties have to make money on the side by selling the odd letter and parcel.
Here comes the BOOM!
Gay Marriage is much more important issue than all of this time
being wasted on a load of geriatrics who all need to put to sleep !!
With all this guff about climate change, can’t the BBC change the location of the Jet Stream? Or do they realise they are utterly powerless to stop the forces of nature but are so far down the road of denial that they fear turning back and saying they were mistaken about AGW?
We always present information the way we see it
which is the correct way with no deviation allowed
The Unbiased Truth does not enter into equation at all.
Tories against democracy.
What a shocker.
ha ha ha ha
Against the same “democracy” that the National Socialist Party, or Liebore as we know it, also did fuck all about, in 14 years – and your point is that bad reform is better than none? Yep, two brain cells working a three shift system.
How’s Blinky’s glove puppet working out for you all?
Now fuck off Nonny.
