Delingpole Withdraws From Corby Race Citing Windfarm Victory
With the news this morning that Energy Minister John Hayes has declared “enough is enough” when it comes to windfarms, Telegraph writer James Delingpole is bowing out of the Corby by-election race, where he was standing as a single issue candididate:
“What would be the point? John Hayes has just gone and made my every dream come true. I’m overjoyed. In fact, I think I may well have run the most stunningly successful election campaign in the history of elections.”
Good news for UKIP who were angry at a split protest vote.
Tom Watson is a mobile wind farm
It was Labour wot dun it !
In response to increasingly desperate pleas from President O’Barmy I have indeed caused Hurricane Sandy to abate and move away from New York.
It was really no trouble. I have that power over World Events. As you will remember, I stopped the UK floods soon after I took up my rightful place as PM once the imposter Bliar had been booted out.
I would also add that I looked on Wind Farms and Green Energy as very successful Tax Scams.
Well said Gordon and it was you, using Fred Goodwin’s Royal Bank of Scotland to finance it, that created the open door immigration policies that have changed the country forever, made me and my boys very rich housing them, and kept politicians like me in power because of the huge kickbacks and political donations we have received as a result. Many thanks; you and Sarah must come and have a holiday in Spain in the villa my grateful boys bought for me. Boaz.

Thanks Handy. Glad to see the plan is still working well in Portsmouth. A holiday in your villa in Spain will be delightful. Do you thing your boys will buy me one?
Dont worry, The Gov will do a u-turn in 5 days or so.
16 mins and Guido is behind the news lol
By past performance 8i££y, I think you maybe right
The turn is already upon us.
I sincerely hope that this will put a stop to the wind farm proposed in Cheshire. Fluckin monstrosity would be only a mile or so from a lot of mainly Tory voting homes.
I bet there is a good fracking opportunity in Cheshire renowned for its salt deposits, and it is a geological fact that oil is usually found undersalt deposits
I wonder why.
The HoC is the largest wind farm in the country
Basing a large portion of your energy requirements on a resource that is massively variable and predictable for only a few days in advance is sheer lunacy.
Almanac, anyone?
Are you talking about the winter menu at the Fat Duck?
Minister uses nice cheap non binding words. Dear Boy it’s actions that count not weasel words. It’s misplaced trust like yours, which has landed us with Mr Cast Iron Guarantee you know the U turn master. …Cameron.
Ahh the umpteenth U turn of 2012 is unfolding……
Windy mills for all!
Subsidies for Baronets paid for by taxing char ladies leccy bills ! Yayyyyy thats green!
Green is the new Red.
Right that’s it from me. I’m off to source some parts to build my own 100 foot garden wind turbine.
The figures that are given for the output of wind farms are based on 365 days per year working 24/7, in fact the actual figures are only 25% of that, they are usless for the rest of the year.
25% is a bit of an optimistic take…more like 19%.
Shame – he had my vote. He was brilliant at stopping those troughing bastards ruining the local area.
Ok – UKIP it is.
+1
+2
Excellent !!
Con / Lab / Lib – same policies, same party.
They differ only on the route to the destination, therefore it is time for people to vote with their conscience.
If that lets Labour in then so be it.
UKIP it is.
but EUkip are troughing bastards too..!
This bastard is a normal hard-up pensioner (and his wife) existing on half the national average income, having saved for our old age, and fearful that if either of us has to go into care our savings and home will disappear like the snow in Spring.
“Who wants to be a millionaire?”, etc., etc., Such as Blair, Cameron, Mrs. Wind-farm Cameron, Osbourne, Mitchell, with numerous others in the Cabinet, hanging on to power by their fingertips.
UKIPPER.
Lest we forget, it was Labour wot got rid of ‘em
Was he standing for the NIMBY party ?
Most probably
Passengers on a busy Tube line experienced major rush-hour hold-ups today.
An obstruction on the track at Holland Park in west London led to a suspension of the Central line between Marble Arch and White City.
There were also severe peak-time delays on the rest of the line.
Central line customers were already having to contend with the planned closure this week of the “Hainault Loop” section of the line east of London.
There were also delays for some commuters on main line rail services today.
A broken-down train at Crofton Park in south-east London meant delays for passengers travelling into London with the First Capital Connect and Southeastern train companies.
A signal problem at Woldingham in south-east London also led to hold-ups for Southern train company customers travelling between Oxted and East Croydon.
Is there a punchline to this joke?
I blame the muslims !
I blame Fatcher
for the kebab.
Only plebs take the Tube
And Guacamole to you Sir…
Mushy peas are better

Is this your new tax shelter Mandy ?
Champagne and riches, what do you expect for a Libore supporter/ ex Libore minister/ ex EUSSR stormtrooper/ ex aluminium magnet gofor/ paint tester , being poor and paying taxes, that’s for the plebs
Don’t disturb me any more – I’m on a yacht far away in warm wealthy waters.
“a suspension of the Central line between Marble Arch and White City.”
Let’s hope it lasts long enough to provide a suspension of the dodgy Biased Beeb media output as well.
when our language shapes our reality….when the BBC exists to shape a world in accordance with the english language, why complain. it is our language.
but then, BBC is also British Brainwashing Language for Children. Has the english world been living a childish life?
Mine da daws pliss

You know about these things
Could you tell me which Revolving Door we should “hire” to get the Government to change its mind ?
Is this a good one ?
“After four years as Cameron’s policy director, O’Shaughnessy has taken a part-time role at Tim Allan’s consultancy, having also set up an independent education consultancy. Despite his part-time status, the hire is a coup for Portland as O’Shaughnessy is the first member of Cameron’s senior Downing Street team to join a public affairs consultancy”
Try this Revolving Door

He is not too choosy…
I love Wonga Wonga…
Do you mean their is a party in London?
The blue rinse party would not like that, but, if you you have one in private and invite one or two of their top men, strictly hush-hush, they would snatch your hands off
54 shopping days to xmas. Missed the deadline to get the sprouts started. want to see my festive undies?

$50 Billion in damages to New York , whats the betting that some idiots in our insurance industry underwrote most of it ?
We regularly go bust
You must get used to it
Insurance is just a form of gambling you know
That is why we hide the real profits in Bermuda for when the shit hits the fan…
Oi !!
I make my living from them and so do lots of other peeps.
Lay off us we are not at all like the Casino Bankers.
We didn’t guzzle public funds.
ah yes. the land of triangles. hope, faith and charity.
Mere peanuts. $50 billion dollars is only about 3 months Deficit in the U.K. Alternatively about 10% of the the total already Quantitatively Eased out of Sir Merv’s arse, stealing from the pleb savers.
Coppitall one are doing interest free transfers for 3 months
and 28% for 76 years. Bang in all on there.
Silly arse – his only success is to make Mensch look serious which is, I suppose, quite a feat.
As for this chap Hayes promising to end wind farms, don’t forget Ed Davey is fervently in favour of them. Davey is, er, Hayes’ boss.
Won’t his name still be on the ballot paper because it is too late to withdraw?
Would he be able to get back his deposit back
It woz labour wot got the best deal for the UK the last time that budgets were discussed at the EC, EU, EEC or whatever they call it this week
Thats because Tony Blair gave back half of Thatchers rebate. For nothing.
Energy price rises and the subsidies that cause them:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/26/edf_energy_price_rises/
Who’d have guessed we are paying for that “free” insulation that British Gas is installing and all those light bulbs and those how to lie to the customer efficiency testers, oh! I’m really suprised.
Is today the the day the Camoron finally shows how he loves the EU and will spend as much of the tax payers money he can to prove it, 2015 getting closer you toolbrain, we lose and so will you.
Today is the day he will probably blow the taxpayers money that we do not have and lose the next election……
If he tells the EC, EU or EEC to f*ck off then he will be a hero and our part of the world could be a different happier place for us all
today is the day the eurosceptics pretend to be tough, but roll over yet again because they dont have the bollocks to leave their traitorous party.
love is irrational.
i too shall withdraw having abolished dog licensing
I rather like this comment on Prescott following a Grauniad article
“28 October 2012 1:53AM
Adultery?
He corrupted a public official, he abused a position of power to gain sexual favours from a public servant.; the two dogs fucked whilst she was being paid to perform her public duty , they misused public premises. The man is an arse in need of a kick.”
LOL….VICTORY…YOU MEAN HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIS DEPOSIT.
Dickhead Delingpole would have polled less than 100 votes
Nov 6th pressie elections.
Nov 15th polling day for the good folk of Corby.
Nov 22nd Cameron capitulates on EU budget vote.

Thats november covered.
Thankfully being an AGW sceptic is becoming mainstream. I wonder how many more years without temperatures rises will it take for the mass hysteria to die down.

Cameron keen to give the EU all the money received from the tax hikes he has implented and all the money saved from the benefit reductions.
You know where you are with Cameron, just like every other PM who went before him.
Supporting the EU but not his own people.
Cameron is just like Brown and Blair, always giving into the EU bullys rather than support their own people.
Cameron very keen to give more money to the EU again.
roll on 2015!
Dave has no chance.
He prefers to let Tory support ebb away to UKIP so he can carry on supporting the failed EU and Euro, even if that means Millband getting elected.
So be it!
still, he only has 4 names of dead soldiers to read out today.
I’d love an MP to ask him, 25 minutes into PMQs, the names of the dead he promised never to forget when he stood up at midday.
And, it’s nearly Remembrance Day, when the public can buy poppies to help the soldiers that the gubbermente sent off to die for the oil companies, Israel and the military industrial complex…Take the money from that nonce Blair and his crone.
It’s not true, just Hayes’ opinion, and he’s been contradicted by his Limp Dumb boss, showing the latter Party have little real love of the environment. No doubt these monstrous and inefficient eyesores will continue to proliferate over our once green and pleasant land while the super rich such as Cameron’s father- in -law, further line their pockets on the proceeds of erecting them. Greed is God.
closed eyes wide open.
open eyes wide shut.
the eyes certainly have it. there is a reason for our blindness. and that which traps. change happens.
Delingtwat pulled out for one reason only — he knew he was about to get stuffed up the chuff.
Just checked the BBC news site, they’re all over this one! Oh er hang on…
The withdrawal method is not completely reliable…
Lord Hestletine in “profound” mode: ” Wealth doesn’t create itself.” (All you need is a Central Bank and a PRINT button!)
Hmmm, let me guess. Early 20s, useless liberal arts degree. Excitedly posting on here to ‘show’ them. Use a regular posters name, how subversive!
Some lights coming on again in Lower Manhattan.
(Right hand side mid-picture)
Dare I ask if the picture is the back of Obama’s head?
The polysemy of your comment gives me several grounds for saying yes.
Are we just going round in circles with the windfarm issue?
Damn. It’s such a nice little earner.
Amazing how you check your cynicism for people you like, Guido. Delingpole was polling below the Green Party and withdrew to avoid total humiliation.
As for wind farms, polling shows Tories ate supportive of them, so this apparent retrenchment will be electorally disastrous.
Err… no.
Ryan Air CEO on Radio 5 Labour this morning had 3 Socialist presenters ganging up on him (including Nicky ‘I’m so clever, aren’t I?’ Campbell, and the woman with the permanent sore throat) when he dared to say on air that he thought global warming was guff!! Priceless. They were actually speechless for a few seconds. I bet the whole country was cheering. Not that the BBC would let on. They’ve got their pensions to think of, haven’t they?
Here is a clip:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p010ghz6
Yes, that ‘woman’, part of the BBC inquisition, obviously has swallowed too much creamy stuff in her time rather like Mariella Frostrup
Good on you Paddy-still advoid your line where ever possible tho.
Note well that the clip they have decided to put on the website is of them (a) reading out a complaint against his firm and (b) Campbell calling him a racist, i.e. the BBC painting an entrepreneur who provides jobs and services for tens of thousands of people as an evil, xenophobic capitalist with a twirly moustache. They’re just so predictable, aren’t they?
Not included is his perfectly fair (to everyone but the BBC) criticism of brainwashed environmentalists and global warming.
Anyone in doubt see Guido’s story yesterday about Helen Boden and the court case.
The QC in the Boaden case is not only blind like the lady on the roof of the Old Bailey, but also stupid, overpaid and biassed. He should be de-benched through the nearest window.
I wonder in whose back pocket all the ludicrous amounts of subsidies did go for these ugly and inefficient wind turbines.
Well Michale Heseltine is one. And David Cameron’s father-in-law is another. And most of the richest landlords in the country are on the list somewhere.
This is good news for UKIP. Delingpole was a nuisance cluttering up the election by standing against Margot Parker.
“The only way we are going to meet our targets is if we include renewable energy which is ultimately a cheap form of energy, and in parts of Wales and Scotland is popular.” Gov Spokesperson
There is not a community in Scotland that has not fought the imposition of wind farms in their locality. There are100′s of planning applications in the pipe line. The
only people that benefit from wind farms are a cabal of landowners, who are even paid when the turbines are not producing. Alex Salmond will lose the Independence vote and this dreadful policy will be one of the main reasons.
That still leaves three far right candidates. That end of the spectrum looks pretty crowded.
I think the date deadline for withdrawal of his nomination was 24th. October, so I bet he still appears on the ballot paper……..
Just hours before having to pay the £500 deposit. Coincidence?
