Yeo’s Lump for Dump
Believe it or not, David Willetts gave an interview that caught Guido’s eye in the Times this weekend. Speaking about what the government was doing to boost Britain’s scientific standing in the world, Two Brains let the cat out of the bag regarding a certain conflicted MP:
“A new scientific field known as “synthetic biology”, which finds ways of using specifically-designed bacteria to solve medical and industrial problems, will be handed £50 million of the new money. Mr Willetts said that he had been particularly taken by one company, TMO Renewables, that had designed a micro-organism capable of turning human waste into biofuels.”
Tim Yeo, the man in charge of the Energy and Climate Change select committee, is paid £5,400 per month as chairman of TMO. His company lobbies the government for funding and Willetts signs off a tranche of taxpayers’ cash for them to turn poo into fuel. Whiffy…
This stinks!
so do you Stavros
“Whiffy” – “This Stinks”
Is there an echo here?
He’s not just taking the piss then.
He IS a (corrupt,troughing) piece of sh1t. Hence the stink.
So it isn’t just Man U players who have money thrown at them.
Pump and Dump baby! Willets is long and wants to get out…
Reporting this is ok since it is about white male Tories.
If you report anything bad about the Labour Party you will get it in the neck. I’m a real QC, honestly, they told me that, even though I was just a solicitor and left the legal profession to become a politician, I am a real QC, so my legal opinion counts for a lot, especially when I say the court of public opinion takes precedence over the rule of law.
I am a real QC. I am a real QC. I am. If you say anything else I’ll have you charged with sexism and sent for diversity re-education.
You have already been described earlier as a Querulous Cow – you are now proving in in spades (oh, can I say that on here?)
Yes – as long as you go short on the “… in a woodpile” reference – the man in the red dress and the big wig at the high table disna like it!
This all smells of the camal trumps
Or Whitechapel and Tower Hamlets – apparently the three things smell the same.
nothing to see here, move along please….
police as authority figures are becoming the past….when police want the community to police itself and report crimes or suspected crimes or just gossip at the coffee shop counter.

Why is Willets called two brains?
Why am I called ‘two Jags’ ?
Good question to which the answer is far from obvious. Using bacteria to convert waste into biofuels has been around for years and is scarcely cutting-edge technology …
I have no idea why. Apparently he can’t even change a lightbulb. Though he is ‘clever’ enough to be in government.

Chris Tarrant is being interviewed live on Radio 5 this afternoon. So it wasn’t him that got ‘yewtree’d’ this morning then…
It ain’t me either. Boaz.
Smell moi fishy fingersCap’n Birdseye
How come the police are only investigating old men, who may well be dead before they ever go to tial? And why have no politicians who have exceedingly dubious connections, not been arrested and questioned under caution?
Erm…teenagers couldn’t have committed crimes 40+ years ago?
This man should be hung upside down by his testicles.
Yes.
What child abuse at the BBC magically stopped in 1972? And no politician of any age is implicated in child abuse any way?
Pull the other one Harriet.
Fair point; you’re probably right.
Very dry,I like it.
My reply is to number 25
“why no politicians”? For the same reason that the majority of the thieving bast*rds were not prosecuted for fiddling parliamentary expenses & allowances;
because they were politicons.
We started digging around historical cases of child abuse committed by white men so as to deflect from the current cases of child abuse committed by Muslim men.
Sort of shot ourselves in the foot though.
Both barrels. And why are we still funding you ?
SHUT UP!
And pay your licence fee. We might move everything to then moon in a couple of years, when Madchester becomes old hat, so we need the money – YOUR money, cretins.
Yes please dahling, two lines on the glass for me……..sniiiiiffffff!! Sniiiiiiiiffff!! – so kind.
Leveson warns of trial by social media http://j.mp/YUjbw4
It should be obvious to anyone that posting an image, personal details, expression of certain opinions onto the perma-press of the net, or even communicating across it that there could well be negative consequences.
This should not need special mention. Leveson himself has already fallen foul of this with the Straub debacle.
The fact that so many are willing to do this without thinking about the consequences is of interest. This is a reflection of the erosion of the notion of personal responsibility, and a false sense of security regarding anonymity and the perverse contradictory belief in public privacy.
What Leveson fails to mention is the flip side. That flip side being, that perfectly reasonable views, opinions, images and information once posted onto the internet (or elsewhere) could be used in the future or even now by a government hostile to those interests expressed against the individual.
The argument for censorship is still weak. Regulation could well place currently fine content into a position posing serious legal liability to those who originally posted it. From a civil liberty point of view, introducing regulation poses a far greater risk to individual freedoms than continuing with the status quo: Even if prosecutions were not pursued retrospectively, the coercive political barrel which many may then find themselves over would be intolerable.
Reminding people of the current negative personal consequences that poor posts can have would not hurt.
Or you could just change a letter or two in a name, fake something that sounds similar, or simply put “in my personal opinion” and you are more likely to be as sound as a pound. Smashing!
If the Labour party can turn the UK into a pile of shit, why can’t I turn piles of shit into energy ?
Opportunities R us, nothing to see here, move along, MPs know better than the plebs.
Where there’s arse there’s brass
This is not “whiffy” Gudio
It is straight corruption
MPs of the same party using taxpayer’s money to enrich each other
The problem is that the whole of Parliament and the Government and the Press is so deeply corrupted now that no one gives a shit
Sad days
Where there is Muck, there is money.
Bacteria turning shit into fuel? My great great great great grandfather did that in 1746. Used to be known by its scientific name back then: composting.
In other news, missing Cashcroft associate turns up safe and well

Why has Gordmong blacked up, young James? And how the fuc.k did the foreign police find him, when the good folk of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath haven’t seen hide nor hair of the Huhne for a good 12 months?
Cold fusion also answered World’s problems. Actual result…SFA
And cold fusion WILL be a reality in no more than 5 years time….. from whatever point in the future you care to be at.
Cold fusion WILL be up and working in just 5 years time!
And always will be.
Willets is Yeo’s rentboy.
WHile you are at it Guido
here is an interesting bung from a foreign goverment for ex Foreign Secretary David Milliband
“Payment of £64,475 from the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, PO Box 1, Abu
Dhabi, UAE. (Registered 29 November 2012)
Transport and accommodation to Sir Bani Yas Forum on Future of Middle East, 15-
18 November 2012, provided by Foreign Ministry of UAE; cost £4,935. Hours: 3 days work. (Registered 29 November 2012″
Is it now normal for MPs to sell themselves to foreign governments?
Absolutely !
They are already working slavishly for a foreign regime: EU.
Can he explain why it is not much easier for those who know and live in the area – ie the Arabs – to sort out the future of the middle east themselves without banana wielding twerps getting their 64K’s worth in ?
Absolutely.
I’ll be in charge of quality control
trust a poli to be first to the dung heap
All perfectly legal and above board – well within the rules which we set up ourselves. Regards your MP.
She’s about as funny as genocide.
Another very unpleasant smell of self interest and greed from the Westminster septic tank.
quite right
There are mighty few sewage works around the world that haven’t been harvesting methane for fuel at least since the ‘fifties. Few of them sell it – they burn it in their own processes. Nothing new here except for some funding.
… and the usual dollop of highly organised corruption.
Now it is really stinky poo time. This is a real, scratch my back and I’ll pass the beige envelope under the table, situation. Innit?
Conflict of interest in public life.
How about all the Ministers, MPs, coppers, councillors, civil servants etc who are freemasons and who have sworn blood oaths with daggers, skulls and coffins to look after brother freemasons before all else.
Evening Rab
Do you know for a fact that chiseling piece of dirt is a Freemason? I am and I abhor this type of behavior. Brother or not, I cannot condone this type of action.
I wonder who is helping his constitutants seeing as he is on how many company boards which must take up most of his time. Another question, other than his work on the committee, how many times as he actually stood up and spoke or asked a question in the house, it is probably a similar number to mr brown
With Harman and Clarke calling for the internet to be regulated (this blog) by the troughing thieving MP’s do not forget all they have to do is put pressure on the ISP’s to block the site. Pirate Bay was blocked and ISP’s put under pressure. but they got round it lasted for a couple of weeks, in fact the number of people using sites like Pirate Bay and Kickass torrents have increased
Don’t tell everyone how to do it, they’ll all want to join in.
Despite the threat – it is curious that this blog is getting a lot of advertising of late.
What is the PR and spin angle here ?
People will look at it and feel sympathy for those lambasted and public opinion will shift in favor of censorship ?
Granted the content is on the money, but there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Isn’t yeo on the board of ITI energy. Another company in the energy hunt. Be interesting to know how much he gets paid from them.
Well fuck me sidewise, what a chiseling canute. Why are we sitting on our flabby bottoms? Time for that march on London. Men of Kent and Men of Essex lets do it again. Meet Gravesend/ Tilbury.
Where’s there’s muck, there’s Brass.
Oink oink.
By comparison Bristol Space have, for years, been unable to get any support from the British govenment. Coincidentally their Ascender, a suborbital plane derived from the SR53 British rocketplane of 1960, needs £50 million to get built and could then be bootstrapped into a fully orbitasl commercial shuttle.
http://www.bristolspaceplanes.com/projects/ascender.shtml
Either a shit eating microbe is more necessary to Britain than a commercial spaceplane. Or it is bunging an MP £5K a month that does it. There seems to be no 3rd possibility.
