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.”
Harold Macmillan says:
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
He is out of touch. tory posh boy.
Are you sure buses go to Tottenham!
Fatcher! Fatcher! Milk Snatcher!
Fatcher! Fatcher! Fatcher! Out! Out! Out!
When do we want it? … Dunno.
Actually they think “Facher” is still in office. If only.
In the supposed world of public service and the old gold world of decency………………surprising that he was sitting when OAP’s standing. don’t see the OAP standing…………….but still perhaps like the other MP who does not know the price of milk….
Sorry to be factual, but where is the OAP?
Oh, I see, its the bloke SITTING down next to Lammy.
Only before and after riots
Look at the passengers, clearly the bus is NOT in Tottenham.
I would like to wish the best of luck to David Haye and Dereck Chisora for their fight this weekend.
scumbag labour snide hypocrite
It wasn’t me.
where is that ranting woman when you need her ?
In jail.
In the land of free speech.
Lammy’s Zanu-Labour. If he were a Tory, he wouldn’t take the bus.
Is Lamy the angry surly youth in glasses?
No it looks more like Pat “Patronising” Hewitt has fallen on hard times.
Careful there Lady VD (unfortunate acronym) Patricias old man is a f’wit wonder who wears a wig and he might get all hot and bothered and send out some pigs to ruffle your feathers … because he can.
It’s what they did in the old communist regime don’t you know – being an ultimately judicially controlled tyranny – not that that’s what we have here in this democracy …
Come and get me you wanchors [Ref Pigs who just 'follow Orders!!!!] and make sure its during the hours of darkness – I’ll shine a light on you all.
Black people sitting on buses. What ever next.
I see what you did there!
Genius!
Yes. Well played.
I’ll see your race card and raise you an ageism, young whippersnapper!
I’m playing minority poker – I already have three of a kind – gender, weight, colour – I just need to convert to Islam and hang around with the Eagle sisters to get a full house
Do they still have those seats with the sign “Réservé aux mutilés de guerre” above them on the Paris metro. I was always disappointed at not seeing any horribly mutilated people sitting on them.
The most satisfying thing would be to see a maimed Blair occupying one.
when i think of blair nothing comes to mind
Maybe that’s what they do in Guyana. I blame the parents.
He didn’t learn manners at Harvard Law School.
Hope he gave 10p to the guy next to him.
typical ‘entitled’ git … get him on the list for first against the wall!
Its all the Nasty Tories Fault
No One else to blame
This story will be reported on every BBC Channel !!!
I is lookin for a pale wife for my next film starring role
Not exactly the actions of a gentleman.Shame on you Mr Lammy ! What will your constituents think ?
precisely what they would do.
As a former resident of the Peoples Republic of Tottenham I had the displeasure of meeting Mr Lammy on several occasions and he didn’t strike me as being very bright.
Cos he is not.
He’s the prat that blamed Ikea when his ill-behaved constituents staged a riot after their new store ran out of cheapos.
Fuck you honky.
I RULED on Mastermind.
I agree. And so does my Dad, Henry V.
Henry IV was Henry V’s Dad, not the other way round.
Lammy, the Higher Education minister responsible for negotiating with all those brilliant university Vice-Chancellors, could score only 13 on Mastermind. No wonder HE is in such a mess.
Bright isn’t the word.
How do these total failures have the brass neck to carry on as if nothing’s happened? Lammy, Balls (especially)…..can’t be bothered to extend the list.
Come on Wake Up his Constituents are NOT allowed to think, not bloody likely….
Next they will want Free Democratic Elections that was abolished a very long time ago
& there are no plans to revisit that daft idea…….
our well oiled system for Postal Voting is fully established & we know the full
results before Polling Day ! Which saves so much time & energy mixing with the
great unwashed & keeps our costs down. Makes sense.
Dey probablie finkin bout shankin sum fule innit
‘ee wood get up fer me !
Julia there are some but they are preparing to leave.
I lived there for a couple of years. What can I say? I was young, impetuous, I didn’t think of the consequences.
Also, I couldn’t afford anywhere else at the time.
MPs live by one rule they make the rules and laws but they do not apply to them or their chums, rules and laws are only for the little people
So white OAP’s do not matter, is this a culture thing.. is he fit for purpose… OH sorry… Labour MP…. says it all.
Why should bl*ack people ever have to stand on a bus any more? I thought we settled that shit a long time ago.
What’s this “bl*ack” crap? Is the word black an obscenity? And on top of that do you not understand sarcasm? Whinging leftie moron.
I can’t tell which of these gits thinks he’s doing the more clever satire.
@CBS
How did you get that word past moderation?
At one time you weren’t allowed to say “blackberry” on this blog either.
typical socialist all men are born equal. And the old can stand.
Wimmin wanted equality too – so they can also just bloody stand!
Didn’t Ken once get caught on video racing an elderly lady for the last seat on a Tube carriage?
Ken won of course……as the Womans zimmer frame was taken away ……
“She was just some bigoted woman…”
Pregnant or fat?
The arrests are getting very close to home Gwido

But the Criminal Tabloid Press…
Shilling for Dirty Desmond almost makes politics look respectable.
It’s bad enough having to go my bus instead of limo.
And he’s probably had a hard day …
And you mustn’t the pervading kulla of noir – or you’ll get done by the EUSSR thort plees
… mustn’t MENTION the pervading …
You may think that … but I couldn’t possibly comment …
Chop off ‘is knob the arrogant knob !!
Grodon was my special choice to manage the economy of my £rd Way. Wasn’t that inspired?! Everything f£ows from that!

How doesthe Journo know he was listening to “music” , maybe he was listening to a translation of whatever was being said. To much presumption, not enough truth in “our” media.
How much more of a beating can this Government take before being given a compulsory count ?
Everything they touch or do not touch turns into a disaster…
I fondled them all before I left power.
He’s black and therefore has two large chips on his shoulders to carry around, so he needs to rest.
Besides the pensioner was white.
Someone please tell me the current government are actually Nu Liebore in disguise.
Cameron is really Gordon Brown, George Osborne really is Ed Balls and hapless Theresa May really is Hattie Hatemen,
Silly. Cameron is Blair, Osborne is Brown, Pickles is Diane Abbott.
On the bright side, Iain Duncan-Smith is Frank Field.
It’s Heath, it’s Heath. If you look at Cameron with half closed eyes you can see Edward Heath selling us out again.
A l’eau, c’est l’heure!
“Pickles is Diane Abbott”? That is very unfair. They may have size in common but Eric is actually running a department and talks a lot of sense.
Is it true that the soldiers being called in will actually mean the G4S directors will still get their bonus?
Bonus for what? Doing their job? (not that they have, but..)
Lammy is a tosser.
To be fair to the chap I can’t see an OAP standing anywhere in this phot.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
I doubt the snapper was carrying a dslr and fish eye lens at the time.
So just to be quite clear, there aren’t actually any pensioners standing in this shót? So, “studiously looking out of window leaving OAPs standing” is backed-up by no evídence whatsoever of this ‘fact’, despite the camera?
Fish-eye lens not required.
That’s right. The fact there there is no evidence at all for this lying piece of shite is a result of one man: Gordon Brown, the same man who has privately admitted to being behind the Spanish Inquisition.
this is one of guido’s lamest pieces, and one that has attracted the racists. I like Guido, but this is lame.
You are a genius! If you say the last word in your post in a certain way, you get Lammy – and that is indeed who it is. You should be in parliament pal.
Nobody can. While the current government is ruining the country right wingers get ever more desperate for stories.
Bollox. There are five pensioners sitting on the roof in the rain.
How about making him do community service at my Arts Centre, helping to develop “culturally diverse artists”?
Why wasn’t he at work and where’s his tie?
Holding up his trousers.
centre
Center. This is not France.
cen‧ter
the American spelling of centre
cen‧tre British English ; center American English
The crew of the Mayflower spelt it center. After that Englanders thought it cool to sound continental so reversed the r and e.
Ok ok… so what’s the story on ‘colour’ vs ‘color’?
And why do they drop the ‘h’ in ‘herbs’.
…and what’s with the silent ‘K’ in known/unknown/knowing/knowledge eh?
Or don’t you know?
Evereone nose its Senter
How do you know it’s David Lammy? It could have been anyone.
Fecking taxis kept ignoring him.
True Alf, one photograph would do for them all.
He’s looking for security, Isn’t time that May woman resigned?
No, that time has been and gone, about 12 months ago.
Now it’s too late, and we have to sit back and watch the catastrophe that she’s created unfold before the eyes of a disbelieving world.
Where is the OAP standing?
Talk about clutching at straws.
Behind the photographer silly.
Of course, stupid of me. I believe behind the photographer there was also a pregnant woman and a mother holding her children who evil Lammy refused to give his seat up for too.
and a whole family of indigenous Brits who have been denied their place in the queue. Lame
Isn’t it strange. As soon as anyone non-white is in the frame a whole legion of auto-histrionic sanctimonobots pop up. Wind them up, and watch them go.
That’s it, little mice. Press the switch, get a pellet of food. Well done.
Can’t you see the dwarf in the flat cap stood next to him?
hello dere. i am in de frame.
It’s the photographer.
Rapping
Easy mistake to make.
Straw is there too ???
Was Andy Murray on that bus?
He missed it. But he says he’ll get it next year.
The fact that there is not enough seating for oldies on buses today can be attributed to one person: step forward Gordon Brown. Yes, the curse of Jonah strikes again.
If the tories had their way there’s be no buses at all.
Or babies.
But there have to be babies. Fresh ones, too – the frozen ones from the supermarkets have no flavour.
Civilised cities around the world do not have buses. They run exceptionally efficient electricity dr iven multi-coach trams which shift three times the volume of people at lower cost.
much better than that twat could ever manage! hail the new improved jimmy!
a few fat arses there.
Yes, I was looking forward to a video on babies foot wear too.
Tsk!
Any comment, Mr Fawkes, about the Private Eye’s revelations that you are bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin! (As also strongly suggested by the Russian Embassy tweets at the top of this page.)
I suppose it’s possible, after all it’s been suggested he was working for MI6/MI5, Marks and Spencers, Staples, ATS and the RAC over the years.
I believe he has been bought by FIFA as everybody else has. Isn’t it time Sepp Blatter was replaced with someone less corrupt? I suggest Bob Diamond.
Private Eye reveal there are adverts on this blog, nothing gets past them, eh? Yes every single advertiser gets to write the editorial. Remember all those Ken Livingstone adverts…
Audi must write Private Eye on the same basis.. Vorsprung durch Hislop.
Guido, thanks for the response. Have you considered rejecting adverts from one very narrow category of potential advertisers — authoritarian regimes seeking to justify their continued support for other authoritarian (and in the case of Syria, murderous) regimes? Also, have you gone after MPs who are a bit too close to Russia with the same vigour you have gone after Chris Bryant? (The answer may well be yes, that is why I am asking.)
They’ve got nothing on me.
It’s because of the government cuts that I didn’t stand up.
Completely understandable.
When I die, I do not want to come back as that pole.
Kelly Brooks bicycle saddle, no problem.
I want to come back as Camilla’s tampon.
No-one got the balls to tell him to give up his seat? Wish I’d been there.
Diane Abbott would have taken two seats but, of course, she claims for taxis when taking the bus.
Tell me, Miss Abbot – (Can that be right ? Have you had the operation ?) When have you ever managed to catch a taxi ? I thought you had enough difficulty catching a bus.
This is not at all what David Lammy is doing in this pic. He is just riding a bus, you twerp. Honestly, Guido, you are losing it.
Me too
BOLLOCKS
he still won’t publish.
Shame…..
Lammy is a shambles.
Labour’s new word is SHAMBLES.
Silence of the Lammies?
LOL…
+10000
It’s a shambles
Lammybammy,who the hell gives a bent fart as to what he does.
The so called government of this once great land is controlled now by what you can call SPIVS.
Integrity and love of country is now out of the window,we are now consumed by GREED which in turn we see relative to the crap we are being fed as an indicator of where we are being led.
INMHO when will the sheeple of this country wake up as to what is being done to them by enimies of this country.
Answers on a postcard.
I object to being called a ‘spiv’.
Oh good. I thought he was talking about me.
Lammy is going to be welded onto the underside of the M4 to improve safety.
They cannot find anything else quite as dense.
Hello.
Nah! Sorry, pet.
You would never be able to stop liberating yourself.
We’re available as a Labour Marxist bridging construct. Lord Black and his bint are otherwise detained in Canada.
Sorry, your intuitive framework is too broad for articulated domains.
The potential neural correlates, within the field of social cognitive neuroscience, also presents theoretical and methodological challenges.
LIBOR: Billions wasted
I just read one of them asteroids is containing 20 trillion dollars worth of minerals and shit. I think we should stop messing about bailing out wankers and build a space industry.
It’s the banks’ customers who should be allowed to impose fines.
As things stand, goodness only knows where the fines go. They sure as hell don’t benefit banks’ customers.
Fines are just a deception to appease the masses.
He was good in Hawkwind
LOL!!!
Newsnight. Eddie Mair breath of fresh air
Lammynate Lammynate, exterminate.
Whiny pussy……
Just as well the the OAPs didn’t press his face on the damp window. He’d still be stuck there now.
Very odd. I detect a real change in the Labour opposition tonight. Both Tessa Jowell and Alan Johnson have gone on the airwaves supporting the government as far as it goes yet going on to say they would do much better and have the ideas to carry this out. Dave should be scared as this is a tactic that will work and is so much better than the 2 Eds negativity.
Did anybody see Diane Hypocritical Fatbutt talking about the dangers of obesity from fast food. She’s the ZanuLab spokesperson apparently.
At least they do irony.
LMAO.
Diane’s weight is part of her culture.
You are clearly racist.
Labour are changing tack to a much more positive course. Alan Johnson and Tessa Jowell have been on the airwaves this evening backing the government in a limited way and promising that they have the ideas to build on this and dig the country out of the hole.
Dave and George should be frit, very frit as this is a radical departure from the two Eds total negativity. People like positive people and positive political messages.
Ah but isnt Ed now considering entertaining Tony in the sports dept , I think the olympics ed wants the whiff of Blair in the feel good . Mind you I think i would prferre a politcal free zone during olympics , just so I can try and enjoy event for what it is …..
medal haul is perhaps most diffcult games to consider but some have trained for a long time . Football one will be interesting , goodness knows how the logistics of that work , they cant all play each other , so must work in groups .
I know they make it look easy , but some of throwing events are impressive , perhaps future popular olympic events could be ,throwing a banker , expense cheat politian vs a real male lion , o2 connectivity dash, Libor grapple contest, EU beaurcracy heavy lift , levenson marathon ……
when i think of blair nothing comes to mind
Probably not.
Who cares? Stick a red rosette on a bucket of shit and I will vote for it.
Reading the various OTT comments by yourselflessness – makes one wonder as to – is it not you who has lost the plot? Such OTT comments do make one wonder.
You can’t upset them or you are a wacist. Only their rights matter.
But hey ho stick a red rosette on a bucket of shit and the sheeple will vote for it.
What an inconsiderate tùrd.
Hong Kong Phooey : suggest O2 consider if problem is not some sort censorship virus for the cyber choosen ones . (sky news int with O2 head:”is it anything to do with ,that you handed over some technical functions to a chinese company 2 months ago “.)….
September return seems a long way off in what has been a quite heavy session , still have a bit of treasury select commitee to ponder over . “so Mr Turner what was the FSAs function in ensuring our banks were free from corruption ” Also I shall be calling other masters of the universe , including Skeletor , Megatron , nog bad the bad , and Emperor Palpatine .
Wanted nice open space preferably parkland central or east london to host 3500 troops , govt will not charge for neighbourhood improvement where older people will feel safe to go out at night .
I think I will take a blogging break also
Message To Guidow…… why don’t you go to Left Foot Forward, or stick your nose in the Granuadia? FFS, it’s people like you that have completely destroyed this country’s identity and sense of humour…. GET OVER IT AND GET A LIFE!
Another triumph, Mister Clegg.
“Western Europe’s share of world GDP fell from 36 percent in 1974 to just 26 percent in 2011, with a projected fall to 15 percent by 2020. In contrast, the US share has remained steady at about 26 percent of world GDP.”

Why do Tory bus manufacturers insist on putting the disabled seats at the front of the bus? If they put them at the back of the bus able bodied passengers would be less likely to sit on them.
I wouldn’t mind a piece of that.
What’s Cat Weazle doing sitting next to Lammy.
IGNORANT PEASANT
Isn’t it Boris, only slightly disguised by the glasses, sitting right behind him, studiously looking down to avoid rbeing recognised?
I don’t have time for the guy, but having used similar buses I know that every seat apart from the first two rows are only designed for people under 5 foot tall.
I got so sick competing with old people for seats that I learnt to drive and never got on a bus again, I recommend it to everyone.
Is that David “Mastermind” Lammy?
