Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
is there anyone in the world that Tony hasnt screwed in some way?
Bloody awful. There were loads better, it’s a fix.
Maybe, but his posts are generally very apt.
I think the winner got his just desserts.
thought ”Winner of Great British rake off” was better
Worthy win.
And from 650 entries.

Something about that number and its association with people who like free booze.

B1lly/Kebab Time will be heartbroken.
I do wonder when the word ‘first’ will actually match the message though
I have my own triumph to announce! I confidently expect to be in the New Years Honours List, and thereafter be known as Sir Gordon McBonkers Brhune. Elevation to the Lords is only a matter of time.

Breakingnews from the ASDA website Trifles aint cakes.One source close to the bakery aisle said”Its an aberration of a once trusted English Language to associate trifles and cakes.They have been deadly enemies for a few weeks now”
was it a fight over some old tart?
The line-up for I’m a Celebrity has been unveiled. Normally I don’t watch that shit. But one of the line-up is Coronation St actress Helen Flanagan.

McAffee RED warning site. Beware
someone please inform me very slowly why the BBC4 production on 1/Nov/2012 @9pm (a three parter 08/Nov etc..) entitled:
The day the Town Hall sharnk.
Regarding cuts to Stoke-on-Trent and it’s budget via Eric Pickles, did not broadcast any internal wranglings over Labour selections for MP or local Councillors?
A Pickle’s cut of £21m turned into a ‘shortfall’ of £36 inside one breath and the BBC production team did not spot this?
Up to now, the BBC4 team have got this horribly wrong.

That is not the way it is going down.
What I’m hearing is that everyone is disgusted at what they actually saw.

you’re just jellyous
Yes,it makes me set in my ways.
When we should be building gibbets, gallows and stocks for these politicians, what do we British do?
Have a caption competition.
better to laugh in the face of death and tweak the nipple of adversity than to head into B&Q for timmber, rope and nails…
Yeah fuck it – just hire some cranes!
Congrats winner of FCC – well deserved.
That was my argument about fox-hunting.
What? It affects trees not people?

Macshane caked in shit again.
If I must cake myself in shit to fight fascism then so be it.
Yummie
Its a Boothby for me!
I demand a public inquiry!
An independent inquiry would be the icing on the cake.
Guido has been mixing with politicos too long, corruption has crept in, it’s not even a trifle!

Dan Hannan saw it as a swiss roll….
Got to say, that was a bit weak….Trifle Early? Didn’t reference the event at all, that’s not satire that’s just a pun. Satire is contextual, this would have worked with anyone holding a cake.
My winner would be:-
Annonnymouse!
After putting down the cake Denis noticed that he had sticky fingers!
