Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
Bill Quango MP says:
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
I give all my earnings to charity.
It’s called the Gordon Brown charity.
[incredulous] What is this?
Two things: celebration of ‘cultural diversity’ within the socio-economic matrix, and reinforcement of the faux evo-sociology premise that ‘cultural diversity’ is a contiuum that cannot exclude apes and the like.
BBC = Busy Broadcasting Codswallop.
there’s a Neon King Kong standin’ on my back
Well it was hardly going to anything on Savile …..
The license fee is a cancer.
THIS is the top story!

Be fair to Auntie. The News comes flat-packed these days, and the pictorial instructions made just as much of a monkey out of Auntie as they do the rest of us.
Contents: i = 6, e = 11, a = 7 ….
They don’t give a monkey’s.
Piss Poor Peformance!
So cuuuuute. I want one.
There is nothing too trivial for the news on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation these days, such is the extent of their dumbing down now. Their real favourite is a contrived news item which, coincidentally, just happens to be the subject of a BBC programme. They even advertise their own programmes in the weather forecasts, such is their desperation for ratings.
Actually the preferred news item is one of product placement in the form of a non-critical regurgitated press release. One would imagine that there are benefits to news staff for doing this. Probably very hard to trace those benefits, despite there being at least one such item on the news every single day.
Stick a red rosette on its wee coat and it could be elected as the next Shad Chancellor.
This is what I have to say about all this:
Just wait until he has to “insert flange A into socket Z”.
Just gotta an email from the BBC and totally ignored my complaints. I am not paying for this unaccountable sh’t. I will have my say in court.

I am don’t feel sorry for these idiots. A pair of hoons.
I agree. Many BBC stories are celebrity nonsense and regional trivia.
They’ve triumphed here by combining two flyweight topics, shopping and animals, into one story.
Lord Reith would not be pleased.
Not news. Everyone who shops at Ikea is a monkey.
Last person to offer me a banana was Savile but he insisted I was blind folded
But did you take it?
‘Public service journalism’… It certainly made a monkey out of them.
