Omnisham-balls: Ed Balls Fluffs Autumn Statement
A full house of criticism for Ed Balls dire response to the Autumn Statement. He fluffed his first line and it was all downhill from there…
Ed Balls sounds a bit uncharacteristically floundery. #AS2012—

Must be nightmarishly difficult to respond on these occasions and Balls is usually a v strong performer. But he's having a shocker today—
Iain Martin (@iainmartin1) December 05, 2012
Ed Balls hopeless. National debt is going to be higher at end of Parl. Of course it is. Deficit inherited from Lab £156bn a year.—

Ed Balls struggling to get heard…#AS2012—

Osborne laughing in Balls' face as the shadow chancellor struggles. Not sure that's wise. #AS2012 #AutumnStatement—

Balls repeatedly stumbling over still-falling deficit sounds like he cant actually believe it. Whole line of attack was re-rise of deficit—
Paul Mason (@paulmasonnews) December 05, 2012
Labour MPs remarkably quiet. Shadow Chancellor needs more support—
Tom McTague (@MirrorMcTague) December 05, 2012
Ed Balls is finding this tough going – House rowdiness is almost drowning him out, and he appears more shaken than usual.#autumnstatement—

Not Ed Balls finest performance so far.—

Balls is normally bravura on these occasions but this is very flat—

He had an open goal, all he had to do was keep it simple…
A total omnishambles from Balls!
His ex girlfiend Steph is on the BBC now trying to help him out.
Aww bless, he must love him deep down they’re so cute together!
New balls please, game over.
I still reckon he is a rubbish shag
Balls got his lines in a conniption fit at the start – but soon got over that and was well into his stroke – cox Yvette saying pull harder, harder, HARDERRRRuhhh…
: )
I think it may be slowly dawning on Balls that he’s got it all fundamentally wrong.
WHY DON’T YOU JUST SHUT THE F UP OR I WILL GO AND KICK A DOG TO DEATH
Anyone seen my claim form?
He he he v. Good
Fluffing’s about all Ed’s good for.
Surely not
Fluffer. Girls fellate the. MALE. Porn. Stars. When they cannot. Muster sufficient. “Wood”. For the next scene .
D you mean. Ballsy fellates. Male porn stars. Too. ??
Come to think of it. ( follow this logic carefully now. ). …
For what other reason would he have gained the nickname. …. Blinkie !!
I think the futility of his situation has just hit him, if i was sitting in between those 2 nodding dogs for a living i would top myself.
Don’t forget the good old days……
Ed Balls was amazing and with me every step of the way.
It was shocking!
You are as much a hune as blinkey
Yes I was very shocked to say the least, my new F5 key is obviously working well.
Maybe it’s time for a upgrade 8illy?
but but Ed has all the answers we just have to wait, you know how hard it is reading invisible ink?
Time for Ed to call for an enquiry
Woeful – sounded like he was pissed. Normally he spouts shit in a vaguely competent manner but not today.
Bye bye Ed.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year: Stephen Maguire.
Watch the video – amazing honesty.
Too far too fast… er, no, er… not fast enough… er… Millie Dowler, Millie Dowler, Millie Dowler…
LOL….Gideon has just told us all that the economy is more fu*cked that he thought, yet your are more concerned with Ed Balls performance…LOL
Just curious about labour’s plan
Easy. there isn’t one. Except the usual tax, borrow and spend.
The plan is to smear smear and smear again
Agreed. Balls making a dick of himself always enjoyable, but the real story here is Gideon’s complete failure to get the economy sorted. He should be resigning, not jeering the opposition.
Two years to sort out an economic omnishambles that was several decades in the making? Sorting this out will take a decade, and full recovery about two generations; that’s provided we don’t go back to Labour’s usual tax, borrow and spend ways.
More like three generations according to the Bank of England which also admitted the bxstard bankers were waging a World War on us all, helped of course by McGoldsmelter Brown. Liebour should creep away under stone until the anti aircraft batteries fall silent.
Thanks for proving your a thick tit.
You need to get your head from out of your backside DaveyC.
THIS COMPLETE MESS IS DUE TO LABOUR’S INCOMPETENCE, AND EVERY FECKIN TIME LABOUR LEAVE OFFICE, SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO CLEAN UP THE MESS.
GET IT? THOUGHT NOT!
Because ….. Balls should have had a good ride on the back of the economic figures.
Instead, he had a car crash!
And I should know.
Not really, just 2 sides of the same worthless coin
L O L. it was f*cked by labour over the 13 years they were in you moron ! L O L
Was expecting deficit to be rising, therefore change of script
Anyone see the look on Ed`s wife`s face? If looks could kill! It was terrible. The two Eds had a really bad day today. Ed M at PMQs and Ed B in response to the Autumn Statement.
She is a bitch
I’ll have you know I am one of the most sincere bitches in politics.
OOOOOOhh get her!
What a total Cunt!
I remember the days when you could write Hunt and my name would come up. Boo-hoo.
Hoon. What a hoon?
Well said, give that man a cigar.
Has he been using bath salts? They lead to paranoia.
It seems that the tweets from the media are trying to stick up for Balls. Just shows the bias from the left wing media, especially Kathy Newman of channel 4. No wonder she wears Red so often.
Don’t people know about Ed Ball’s ingrowing eyelash to anus problem?
That is why he blinks so much you heartless bastards.
How many clients so far today?
That is libellous! *angry face* I’m happily married! *luv my Johnny* I won’t tolerate such slurs *defiant face* I’m totes serious *serious* Now buzz off, I’m busy. *bends over dustbin in alley*.
Ever the professional.
I have made £8.05 so far.
Blimey. Where did the eight quid come from?
All of them
BoomTish
wow so that’s £8.00 for the chips and pint of cider and 8p for the shag!
I’m servicing one right now actually..’any old Iron,geed’up you cowson’ *fake climax face*
I bet its like chucking a sausage up an alley.
A chipolata up the Chunnel.
A banana up Oxford Street.
I think you are getting confused with the winky wanky bird, whose eyelash was attached to it’s foreskin.
Like sticking your dick in a bucket of snot…..
I am predicting that the sale of Royal baby memorabilia will turn around the economy.
Following the publishing of Catherine’s chest, Royal Doulton have just released their first two small jugs…
* publishing photos of*
I am so hyped up Guido
That I score own goals without knowing why
Do you think I should change my dope?
Should I ask Baldwin which white stuff to take?
Good afternoon grappling fans. Blinky v Gideon. Hardly battle of the titans. Just a submission or a death from boredom to decide the winner in this exchange.
Blimey! You still alive? My gran used to talk about you and I’m already over 60.
Nice of D. Miliband to slum it in the HoC.
Fecking part time Blairite bastard.
Tittering on a TRIPLE DIP !!!!
Keep on obsessing about Balls…..it shows how daft you really are.
Its not an obsession, its reality. Balls and Miliband do more damage to the country every time they open their gobs.
x100
I think the lot of them on the labour front bench have just grasped how bad they really are, we only need hattie to say something stupid now for a full house !
Does she still wear that macho vest thingy? Is it an ethical one?
Jesus, this lot play at a 6th form debating society while the country goes on the slide into an ominishitpit! They must have buggered the brains out of each other judging by this performance. Expect no solutions here I’m afraid, soon be time to dig up the cached arms and comms equipment and live off the land!
We resent the implicatiopn that our debates sink to the level refered to. Withdraw immediately.
Balls was absolutely dire. How and why does he keep his job.
Having been part of the Mcbride mafia, he knows where the bodies are buried.
Shut it slug face.
lets be honest, the labour front bench are dire.Why they all kept their jobs when they lost the election i have never been able to fathom,there again i suppose the rest of them are as bad.
Something to do with a half paragraph on page 874 on the Labour Party rules book.
Labour do have a policy, its NEGATIVITY.
Are Harriet and EdM auditioning to replace the Churchill dog?
Oh yes……..
Am I Genghis Khan?
Oh no.
but is it RECTAL FISTITUDE?
It’s official. The Government front bench is populated entirely by 12 year old boys.
Eton day out perchance?
And the labour front bench?
Don’t tell the BBC.
‘Hello’
Could you please come along with me sir.
The Curious Talent of Mr Balls: blink and you’ve missed it.
Balls up or balls down ? Polly – what do you think ?
There is **it at the bottom of my cage.
Correction: that should of course read ‘grit’.
Is that because you have had a cockatoo in it?
A couple of shags.
A couple of tits?
Ive heard she likes a cockatoo

Dennis Skinner never has anything to say and says it too loudly however, it never stops the Squeeker from calling him.
Skinner should retire and let a younger person have his job. Its not about the money, is it Skinner?
As Skinner’s job seems to be moaning old git how can you give it to a younger PERSON.
A moaning young git?
Already got one of them, name Owing Joans or something.
Skinner has been there for forty two years and achieved absolutely f..k all,supposedly the Beast of Bolsover in reality a paper tiger spouting class rubbish while he lives off the back of working people.No doubt Skinner jnr will succeed him keeping in line with Labours dynasty politics
Shut up you twat ,he he.
Good to see that george is pressing ahead with shale gas.
Frackining is what turned around the US econonomy by turning it from an importer of energy to an exporter. It will be good for our economy too but I fear that these massive benefits will not be seen until after the next election. The new government should have hit the ground running and promoted fracking as soon as it was elected, probably those pesky Liberals were the fly in the ointment.
Another point worth considering that Fracking in the US is not a Federal operation and is privately controlled and unfortunately George is setting up a new government quango to oversee it in the UK.
Blah blah blah not listening,blah blah
It may not bring down domestic bills, but the blast furnaces in the valleys don’t heat themselves by magic.
The thing about Balls is, he would make exactly the same criticism of the Government whether the debt was rising or falling, which perhaps explains his confusion.
And I thought Balls was just plain stupid.
I just said he was stupid, but in a roundabout way.
I present my parties solution…
http://the-plant-directory.co.uk/house-plants/cacti-succulents/crassula-ovata-the-money-tree-1.5-litre?cPath=69#googlebase
Dame Joan Ruddock queries investment in green energy and wants the UK to meet the 2030 de-carbonisation target.
I wonder if those living in Lewisham and Deptford agree that this is the biggest problem facing them and whether it is worth wasting an opportunity to question the chancellor regarding the Nation’s finances.
The real madness is that we could reduce our carbon emmissions by 75% almost overnight if we used gas to generate our leccy. On the other hand windmills only produce 2% of our energy (when the wind is blowing) and it has cost a fortune and decades to achieve this.
Interesting to listen to Johnny Ball explaining all this on Sky News, I suppose he is on the BBC Black list these days. Even coal genheration is 3 x more efficient than it was just a decade ago, nowt to do with carbon capture and all to do with turbine technolgy. He also pointed out that wind turbine blades do not spin fast enough to escape the effects of gravity which makes them very prone to mechanical failure.
Nuclear: Zero Carbon emissions so long as you don’t screw it up.
Or employ pissed up Ruskis to run it.
Or even sober ones!
I saw that – probably the most concise and effective put down of AGW that I’ve seen.
If the enviro moonbats had their way, we’d have no electricity and be living in caves though of course, not eating animals or using artificial light.
On a similar note, compare the number of seats held by the Green Party to the number of times a Green Party MP is called to speak…
“Mech failure”? The sooner the better then so we can get the all down out of the way. That alone would create at least 10 years worth of employment and lots of jobs.
ah Joan Ruddock the stinking man’s crumpet
Guido
I want you to know that we at the Harvard Faculty have recently told Milliband and Balls to come to their senses
We cannot have our reputation destroyed by “Plan B’ers B for B a n k r u p t” as Cameron so rightly said
We reminded Ed Milliband that he taught here for e few months and that he must not tarnish our reputation
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9338997/Reith-Lecture-Were-mortgaging-the-future-of-the-younger-generation.html
Yes, but it was the play group he “taught ” so it doesnt really count.
Not sure how Ed Balls thinks you can build 100,000 homes for £3.5 billion 4G license proceeds. Build a house for £35,000?
Yes
You buy 3 at £35k each using tax payers funds, then flip them one at a time and sell them for a tidy profit.
Kerccchhhhiiinnngggg !
How much does it cost to re-patriot-ate an illegal immigrant?.
Very little if you make them through the tunnel.
By using shipping containers as homes they come ready packed with residents if you buy them from the continent.
But Balls is an MP for whom a house is buy one get one free.
Things fall apart for a politician when they stop believing the bullshit party line they have signed up to. Has this happened to Balls?
*thinks* How can I weave Millie Dowler into the debate about the deficit?
Fucked-Dry, my suggested name for an action group against Politicians.
Peter Bone MP asks how much the Government will have to borrow to conform to a target of 0.7% GDP for overseas aid – no answer came the reply.
Nice to know your priorities George.
The same as labour borrowed i should think, its not rocket science.
Men can’t be left alone to run the country.
Watch Balls with the sound off, the two colleagues on either side look just like the little nodding dogs sometimes seen in rear car windows.
The R 4 news has just aired a clip of Balls answering the chancellor, strangely enough they didnt play the jumbled up passage !
Balls has a jumbled up passage?
Christ I feel ill…
One of them will be Chris Leslie a real creepy crawler used to be McMentalist photo copier a men promoted and indeed in a job well above his intellect but thats what being an arse licker brings you
Dave Milliband loved that.
Ed Balls – what a total waste of space – his riposte to Osborne was a complete train crash – oh dear!
40p top rate of tax for millionaires, the abolition of the 10p tax band and a 75p rise for pensioners. That’s Labour in government for you. THE WEALTHY DID VERY WELL DURING THE LABOUR YEARS. THE WEALTHY DID VERY WELL DURING THE LABOUR YEARS. THE WEALTHY DID VERY WELL DURING THE LABOUR YEARS. Shall I go on…..Amnesia, amnesia, amnesia !
Why can’t Balls get it through his thick head that all the Chancellor is doing is allowing rich folk to KEEP MORE OF THEIR OWN MONEY rather than it being stolen by the government for ill defined uses?
Howth Dareth you cwiticise my bwass neckth!!
I cannot understand it. I sucked him off just before he went into the Commons and spat the jizsm right into his gob to give him socialist strenght.
Actually I swallowed most of it cos I love him.
Dave and Gideon were too shit scared to stare out Balls, and looked away, the posh shitehouse faggots that they are, ey Beast of Bolsover?
They were pissing themselves laughing at him. Best comdy of the week that beats everything on the BBC channel.
They were laughing at his stutter.The country is fcuked and that is all the twats can do,brilliant.
You get on my wick with your class war bullshit , labour and their supporters live in cloud cukoo land
oh dear me! Fuck off back to Tory HQ child.
And to say you over-priviledged sorts get on my wick, is an understatement friend. tosser.
#omnishamballs
Personally speaking the most outrageous thing in that Autumn Statement was the outrageous pledge to maintain 0.7% GDP being sent to foreign countries. That makes me sick to the pit of my stomach and would ensure that given the chance I’d hang those politicians by the fucking neck.
Yes indeed. …..
To quote. My hero meatloaf.
If he s still. Alive. ..
I. COULDN T HAVE SAID IT BETTER…
At least he’s only ballsing up his speeches and not the economy.
true, but I did that already a couple of years back!
He’s the arsonist trying to tell us to put out the fire by pouring fuel on it.
Unlike my Forum, you are poorly served by your representatives particularly the one seen “losing it” on the last two occasions, FFS.
Ed balls’ constant nervous repetition of “Mr Speaker” throughout his reply sounded reminiscent of Norman Wisdom’s cry of “Mr Grimsdale!”. Clearly on the backfoot. He’d never cope with the cut and thrust of PQT as a future labour leader!!!
