Cable and Fallon Visit Start App Britain
Coalition rivals escaping the confines of the department together, heading to trendy “Start App Britain” to launch new funky initiatives for growth. Yes we all saw the Thick of It on Saturday night, but it seems the BIS team were paying extra attention…
Sadly, though probably wisely, Michael Fallon and Vince Cable’s visit to White Bear Yard – Clerkenwell’s trendy privately funded start-up office share – was closed off to pesky press questioners and only a pool camera seemed to be doing the rounds as the politicians chatted awkwardly with the “silicon chaps. And of course chapesses.” Sadly there was not the chance to ask Fallon how Vince’s much loved hike in Capital Gains tax from 18% to 28% helped entrepreneurs. And, of course, which one of them was Morse and which one Lewis…
That picture is bang on!
I don’t fancy yours much.
It was absolute shite. Not even remotely funny. I sensed the so called actors were enjoying it as would any comprehensive school drama club. But for the audience it was bad, a very bad experience.
What’s the Ed Miliband look-alike got to do with it?
It should be better next week. Tucker is back.
all too clever for me.
APPen there’ll be plenty of APPlause.
Ay lad! ‘appen enough fer me!
err …. whcih is Vince the Cable here ?
He’s gone for a shit
to clear his head?
then think up more taxes
He looks like a Brazilian with a backpack. I don’t fancy his chances making it home.

All very relevant – as all god botherers always are.
That’s rather irreverent.
40 years ago they’d be visiting a Concorde factory.
20 years ago they’d be visiting the Stock Exchange.
Today they visit Clerkenwell.
Tomorrow?
Heathrow?
Boris Island, surely.
John Gummer knows a bloke who can put stones in the sea for you.
Looking at the cost of putting stones in the sea they must be planning to put solid gold in the fucking sea.
Better the Scrubs methinks.
The Indian Lunar Cosmodrome (*paid for with UK dosh of course)
But it makes us feel better and you can’t put a price on that.
Priceless. Put it on the national credit card. (Or “debt”, as Blinky insists on calling it.)
The immediate area outside their armed-guarded, walled, gated communities, once the area has been swept for IEDs and Jihadists.
bethnal green!!
I’m feeling like a bit of an old fart now. I don’t see the point in apps.
OK, you can do great stuff on phones, that other people have to sit down and do on the internet, for free. OK, you personally can sell your wonderful app and make a big pile of dosh, good for you. But rather like selling ringtones to each other, it doesn’t “feel” like something to place the foundations of your economy on.
I suppose I was wrong when I thought “how do all these websites make money, surely not all from adverts”. Although as I thought that in 1999, i did have a point for quite a few years.
They will be more like Wallace and Grommit with aggro. Hope Fallon has the better teeth.
Or W & G with hope?

He didn’t even know who she was? Disgusting.
Does he need to? Don’t they all look the same?
Its all the same with the lights out isn’t it?
how about a voice interpreting “sincerity” app you could call it iBollocks
I’d like to sit here and read more of the blog, but I have to make my way to central London to watch the parade. Apparently its a great big party, everyone’s having a brilliant time…again.
“And, of course, which one of them was Morse and which one Lewis…”
More like Gert and Daisy
More like which one was MARTIN and which one was Lewis:
