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.”
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.
Good work Neo Guido.
Tho why paying for an upgraded ticket is news i will never know
Oh was ITV with pic.
Yup. An aggregation of ITV and Tw@tter.
It is newsworthy because that French idiot Hollande has directed all Ministers whenever possible to use the train second class to save the taxpayer money .
Mr Cameron has done nothing like this for the British taxpayers he represents .
Just send the plebs the bills .
Won’t second class get there a day or two after first class?
Not nowadays.
They just shred them.
Meanwhile, Hollande now makes copious use of the luxurious Presidential jet “Air Sarko One”, despite heavily criticising it while in oppo.
Plus, the lovely Yamina Benguigui recently pissed away 140k on a chartered Falcon to get to Kinshasa, despite the order for Ministers to use scheduled services.
Socialist? Hypocrite? Non, surement pas…
Next time I’ll travel middle class.
Try thqueezed middle clath.
Now what was it that Cameron said in Brussells yesterday when pressed about the energy bills – it went something like “… I want to be on the side of the hard pressed ….”?
He “wants to be” < read that again – on the side of the hard pressed British public?
Pale? He looks pink and worried to me.
I was sat behind him.
It’s not knocked the smirk off his face, where Hal got the worried from
Mad Mitch has gone
Takes some doing to knock Jimmy Savile down the list.
What about Andrew Mitchell ????
He’s one as well.
Hes gone
Beeb saying now that Saville was probably the worst offender for years
What about Yentob? He’s got a big stipend.
Sounds disgusting Cat
SC – I’m sure his Rabbi will have something to say about your comment …
[Getting brave in your old age there SC - bonus points]
I’d just like to say to the Government how very sorry I am the press got hold of this
You’re a goofy public school twat as well, so shut it beardy.
I think grand daddy was a high court judge
So when are you going to prosecute Gideon for having an inappropriate type of ticket, gideon probably thought he was back in the days of the Bullingdon Club or was he trying to go first class, pay second class fare and then claim first class fare
When you’re in a hole-stop digging!
Oh, chinless toffs don’t dig holes.
Yesh I dig big holesh for rich toffsh.
They get others to do that for them
DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR, OH DEAR « Psalm79:9+10
Evidently he was seen to throw some white powder out of the window. Snow on the line?
Do you think it was the wrong type of snow
Important man buys wrong ticket – so what? This is a non-story, some people wouldn’t be happy unless he was travelling on the megabus… in the luggage compartment.
He should travel on the MelodyBus, near the gas inlet.
You have clearly not looked at the detail of this. It is not simply that he bought the wrong ticket (though that in itself would be pretty stupid). If that is all it was he could simply have asked for and paid for an upgrade. BUT he didn’t. He tried, through his aide, to blag an upgrade for free, on the basis that he could not be expected to sit in standard class. I make no judgement on his right/need to sit in First Class and would not have him travel on the megabus. No what makes it a story is the sheer crass stupidity of the man to let this happen and be seen to happen in the current climate. It is unbelievable that he was so THICK.
Once a Bullingdon boy always a Bullingdon boy
Shurely it is the head of the tit that bought the wrong ticket that should roll?
Funny spineless twat
If this doesn’t slow down, Guido will have to set up a shift system.
“Never Believe Anything until it has been Officially Denied” – Guido Fawkes,about Jimmy Savile.
Surely Cabinet members should be cosseted a bit. I don’t want those administering important aspects of my life run ragged. How about a little bit of deference for office. Jumped up officialdom at it again?
I agree, why not get the steward to offer him a blowie to de-stress him?
Goodness gracious, a return to service on the railways?
Serves smug arrogant and ignorant little prick right.
Come it’s just Gideon being Gideon
Plebs make turd run
Who cares? Why does it matter if the guy is travelling first class? He is the Chancellor of the Exchequer for christ’s sake. Do we want the rest of the world to think we are like India or Ghana!
Surely he’d be on the roof?
Good heavens, no!
We are not that rich.
Ha. You make a valid point sir.
It’s the fact that he did it on a standard ticket, and has now made an even bigger arse of himself than usual. Why?
did he want to appear as a man of the people, a pleb if you like. That boat never left the dock.
He should have just bought a first class ticket and had done with it. The reaction would have been so what. Now subjected to ridicule, and Labour are going to make hay with this in the HOC.
Have you read the story at all? He can travel whatever class he likes but he needs the right ticket like everyone else. The real issue is how can someone in his position be so fucking stupid to let this happen.
It’s Gideon
And of course he is so effing stupid – the cocaine snorting poo faced f-wit.
Oh for the days of steam.
Nowadays it’s just hot air.
Haven’t heard that for years. Thanks vm for posting that great tune.
Message to intern.
Guido reads
Spy Blog.. it is now 404
Get Gideon to sort it out
He is only running for the next banana skin
HOPE IT’S THE ONE I DROPPED ON PURPOSE.!
Sky running it second, after murder case, above Savilllllle.
R4 don’t even mention it. Useless tossers.
Yes they have chuck, on PM
If only they made a similar fuss about him sitting in the Treasury with only a third class intellect.
To be fair, they are now separated by five years.
His maths level and his real age?
It occurs to me that we may be talking about different occupiers of the Chancellorship. I was thinking of the gurning one who was undoubtedly a third class intellect.
Same sort of silly grin Chris Barrie had when playing Gordon Brittas, a man who was obliviously pompous, who always seemed to survive everything, despite his cluelessness and general inadequacy for purpose. Oh, hold on, which one is it I’m describing again?
ME
Not Brown Gordy, Britas
For goodness sake, he’s the second most important person in government.
Why on earth should he sit with the plebs?
‘cos he’s an incompetent wet.
Wonder if they let his bike on for free?
He though it a wheeze maybe try to travel first class on a second class ticket, and then claim first class travel, did his female assistant have a first class ticket?
I will legislate that all travellers are given the lowest tarrif.
Gids mate, we haven’t got it through yet though.
DONT INSULT TRAVELERS PLEASE
Have you been in my tunnel lately?
don’t be disgusting Micky

We never let him travel on the school bus on his own, guaranteed to make an exhibition of himself.

of slipping in via the tradesmans entrance !
Evening sir.
I hope that you are slipping in easily after the recent troubles you mentioned this morning?
You would not have thought that someone like Mark Beardy Git would have attempted to cover up the actions of Jimmy Savile really, would you?
Goatee beard by any chance?
Bit of a lopsided look. As long as he upgraded and paid for it OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET. Then thats it he obviously didn’t ‘pleb’ any one so hefty farts all round!
You try and get away with it
ET would find Earth boring Sir Patrick Moore
PBUH
What on earth is that expression on his face, it often contorts into that ketamine like glaze
Tiny technical detail.
Anyone familiar with Euston will know that the side entrance is exactly where a Minister’s car would pick him up.
Megabus? How about the Melody Bus?
Near the inlet hose.
Smeg for short
