David Miliband and the Ugandan Tax Row
David Miliband’s links to a controversial oil company that makes its billions in Uganda are back in the news today. The £500,000-a-year globe-trotter has faced scrutiny for his role in securing sponsorship for Sunderland FC from Tullow Oil, an oil giant that has in the past been accused of driving villagers from their homes and bribing officials. Today the Ugandan government is alleging that they have taken huge sums of money out of the poverty-stricken country by allegedly not paying an 18% tax imposed on its mining machinery. Tullow is requesting that the dispute be referred for arbitration.
Maybe a certain former Foreign Secretary can use his diplomacy expertise to help them reach a resolution…
FIRST
Don’t need to shout, you wanker.
What a surprise, more multimillionaire Labour MP’s in the news.
Yeah, but is that “Labour” “Labor” [as I'm sure it will become if his brother gets his way] or “New Labour” [or has Bliar written that off]?
The dumb twats of South Tyneside will continue to vote for their absent politician who is more interested in lining his own pckets than serving their interests (which by the way won’t make him rich)
They are truly fucking stupid up North
Dave’s dissing my tax policies again; he’s turning into one of the bourgeoisie and is suffering from false consciousness by leaving out the dialectic from his materialism.
He’s getting as bad as Yeo
Miliband.
Aah, that working-class, left-wing firebrand. Burning with idealism. Rose through the ranks by virtue of hard work and total commitment to the cause of socialism. A true son of the north. Man of the people. First to the barricades etc. etc.
Good ol’ Dave Mill, getting off his arse and getting coin in for us UK, while saying Uganda has changed, and it’s leader does not declare anymore that he is the King of Scotland.
So where’s the problem here? Ok, seems his commission is quite startling! Wish I was myself monetary more thinking of me when I was in Singapore that time. I was a true trade diplomat there, feet on the ground to top – they loved me there, but the almost 100% humidity and 90 degC did not love me. Jesuzz – bring back an ice age!
I like Singapore, but as I said, it’s weather certainly does not agree with me, non-air conditioned,
Singaporians couldn’t get enough of me. Played badminton doubles there at lunchtime once – everything was under control with me bodily in the gym, and then I came outside – I was almost a white celtic melted mess on the floor… pheww! Just survived.
By the way, sad to hear myself the death of Dylan Thomas’ last surviving child yeaterday, and yes, i did shed a tear, died at a too fragile youngish age, colm. Good pic of him here when young, being educated by a roadworker on snacktime in Laugharne, south-west Wales, in about 1954,

How can you say that about Northeners, they voted for me, Oh yes see what you mean and they hanged the monkey too. different lot from those fine people south of the Tees.

Extensions on pubs in Wales/Cymru are quite popular…
The Oil Business was never run by choirboys.
These are hard men, and they do hard things to the people who are in their way.
It is part of the price of the fuel that we use.
Try not to get in their way.
Huh ! That’s not rich !!!!!!
That’s the kiddies’ Christmas prezzies ! ( P.S. I don’t ‘do’ religion )
Right ! Come back and talk to us when you’ve got a £ 9,000,000 house.

US government creating fictitious money at the rate of $85million dollar a month. where is all this money going?
I think you will find the US creates more than $85m / month, however since they do not report M3 anymore it is hard to say how much they do create precisely, but it will be a ‘lot’.
US Government itself does not create money, that is the job of the Fed. The US Government issues debt via the Treasury department in the form of T-Bills (bond certificates), which the Fed (and international buyers) purchase. This debt is supposedly paid off by tax receipts over time and 100% safe as it is guaranteed by the Federal government: In God we trust, especially with a force like the US Army to keep order.
The money received goes into government purchase of commodities on the international markets (US Govt is the unseen hand in the oil market and many others…).
There is a twist here, as in many markets the US enjoys a zero cost of purchase as the $ used to buy usually wind up back in government coffers as the holder of $ usually purchases T-Bills to protect the value of their $ holding. This balance has changed significantly in recent years, particularly in the oil market.
Fed money also goes into the domestic commercial banking sector to provide money for loans which the banks make within the US. This is fractional reserve banking.
At the moment, a large numerical amount of money is being sucked into various dark pools and off balance sheet obligations left over from the boom years. This is primarily to keep credibility in the system until those contracts have expired. This money in particular has zero value as it will never touch the real economy, one of the reasons why inflation has paradoxically been absent whilst interest rates have been near zero and ‘QE’ rampant. The price of gold though reflects the global concern about this adjusting status quo.
This is the US version of debt Seignorage which is the method by which Sovereigns create their money, particularly when operating a fiat backed currency. The money itself will end up back in the Fed eventually, unless at some point the currency and this authority is dissolved.
Now a better question is to ask the same of the ECB.
.
the price pf gold reflects….
what is BIS….is it the banker to central banks…are we shifting global wealth to it?
The BIS : Bank for International Settlements.
This is the central bank of central banks, based in Basel Switzerland.
It’s primary function is supervisory. It sets internationally agreed upon banking rules which will be adopted by central banks around the world, and in turn commercial banks. This relates recently to so called Tiered Capital Ratio’s, or crudely, what is the limit of loans you can make in relation to capital you have.
The BIS itself is able to issue ‘money’ in the form of Special Drawing Rights. These are like a currency with a floating rate in terms of $, and can be issued to IMF member states. These are usually issued to a central bank in distress in order to avoid a sovereign default.
Global wealth is not being transferred to the BIS as such, but the price of bullion is increasing as a result of the BIS reclassifying gold as a Tier 1 asset.
This combined with changes to the minimum Tiered capital asset ratios, an increase to make banks stronger, has put pressure on banks to increase their holdings of gold. Because the gold market is small, this is a noticeable upward pressure.
Note 1: By doing this, a lot of excess paper money is essentially being absorbed into a real money asset, which quite nicely helps to tackle keep a lid on inflation. (Inflation is an artificial increase in the money supply). However, as the value of gold increases, this does indicate that the value of the reserve currency, $, has decreased.
Note 2: The Fed is not a bank, so BIS supervision does not apply to it, and neither to government treasuries. However, the Federal Reserve banks in the US and BoE are signatories to the Basel conventions and these authorities combined with local government are meant to ensure that Basel conventions are enforced on commercial banks within their jurisdictions.
It would be interesting to see if the BIS classify Silver as a Tier 1 or 2 asset sometime soon. That would have some very interesting effects. If you are familiar with the real meaning of the Wizard of Oz, you may catch my drift.
Surely that pillar of fair play, that clean hands Mr Blair could bring his vast experience to play. He has made such a wonderful job as ME ambassador.
Could they possibly afford him?

one world Mr Bliar.
did he know about lie.bour.
16 international banks implicated.

it appears that the scale of fines exceed billion dollars.
is this a trillion dollar scam.

dear mr. economist
fascinating reading…….can you explain to a thicko what the true meaning of the wiz of oz means re:silver
Lord Mantlepiece of Hartlepool – just enjoy your local history and use it, is my advice, no matter how numbnuts your previous past fellas were. A Napolionic monkey sailor, oh jeeeezuz chroist – you just simply could not make it up!

Let’s talk about Gideon’s paddock, paid for by tax payers money
Agreed caught this on http://ianbone.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/osborne-claimed-horse-paddock-on-parliament-expenses/ Particularly liked Rottweiler Derby post in response to this. Lets keep exposing these self serving, pocket lining pieces of detritus under the spotlight!
The fact that I got the taxpayer to pay for my Russian mistress’s apartment in London and our holidays abroad together is not true nor is it true that I paid my wife, who cannot even spell, £20,000 a year on my expenses for doing nothing for years. Finally the fact that I had to return payments made to me for mortgages to the Fees office was an administrative mistake by them. All this will be corroborated on request by the Grand Master. Boaz.
The apartment was lovely Handy, much better than the FSB one I now live in in Moscow.
We will continue to live in our impoverished hovels and vote for him because he says he is on our side.
What’s more he is a compassionate leftie, giving oot wer money.
Not like you rite wing bastards, like .
For the North East rplace with Tammany Hall Labours fiefdom which they exploit to the max unfortunately the e loctorate are fu…..g brain dead benefit spongers in the main as long as Labour doles out the benefits they will continue to vote them in.
Mmm – no mention of the fact that Tullow have not produced a single barrel of oil from Uganda, instead they’ve been pouring £100m’s of investment into the country and generating significant employment. The machinery tax was invented out of nowhere because someone felt they were lacking a few brown envelopes, and not surprisingly Tullow objected. They can’t win.
What’s wrong with brown envelopes?. It’s just part of our native culture.
Certainly better than those glittery beads, I’ve got a whole trunk full.
Any way I could get involved chums?
A very very long walk on a short pier – with a 100kg weight attached. Please try it – you do try everything.
as long as Keith lives I have fk all chance
Is there a photo opportunity in it for me?
The Uganda government are alleging..
Hardly a reliable source.
You miss the point. This site is for the smears even Rob Wilson won’t put his name to.
How can you smear a member of the Miliband clan?
Fu*kking horrible bunch of chancers and liars, going back generations.
I make a point of not commenting on any thread about the boring Miliwank brothers.
don’t we pay the ugandan government’s running costs?
under some perverted definition of overseas AIDS?
some of these chappies don’t know when they’re lucky – what?
au contraire old boy I do – I’ve got shares in tullow – just look at that price graph (THE 10 YEAR ONE):

Sorry did you mean Blair Bitch? Cause he is mine, all mine. (Maniacal laugh)
I’m the only Blair Bitch around here. Now bog off and let me and Carole C get Tony back to servicing us (allegedly).
Send him over to us. We’ll show you how we deal with this sort of thing down here.
Shurely Miliband’s Ugandan (tax) Affairs are his own business…
Such a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of tax.
Margaret Hodge = Dogma Gatherer
Also Twat face.
I believe every word, Margaret Hodge says.
*Gullible face*
Corrupt and sponging c_nt.
Well we can sort this problem out nicely. Thanks for the little beige envelope helps to speed things up.
Ugandan Discussions?
Oppurtunist first. Politician second. Well dodgy.
Don’t Kill Gay People, But Don’t Promote Homosexuality As A Good Thing Either
I think it’s wonderful, they’ll not have to guess what I want I wink at ‘em through the glory hole
At least Uganda has got it’s priorities straight. Now we just need to rendition the Labour party their for re-eduction.
Can you tell that to Dave….
Pity poor ‘sliding doors’ David Miliband.
If, on the morning of the Labour conference, he’d opted to pack an apple into his lunch box instead of a banana, he’d be leader of the labour party now.
History forever turns on such quirks of fate, suck a lemon.
Winston Churchill was knocked down and quite badly injured by a car in New York in 1931. If it had killed him Lord Halifax would have been PM in 1940. He would have surrendered to the Germans after Dunkirk and we would, today, be ruled by a dominant Hun and their acquiescent, obliging, Vichy French puppets, instead of…
Actually..not much would have changed, would it?
LOL, I could see the punch line coming a mile off, SS Rumpey GB.
Yes, and if F.D. Roosevelt had died of the polio he contracted in 1921 instead of merely being paralysed, Joseph Kennedy would have become president of the United States and the country would have signed a humiliating peace treaty with Japan after Pearl Harbor, resulting in the virtual closure of American industry, so that they were obliged to buy all their consumer goods from Japan and Germany.
Actually this happened, but has been covered up. ‘D-Day’ is the name of a novel by Robert Harris, pure fiction of course.
And if I had had male genitalia, I’d have been King George VII.
So the previous topic has garnered 236 replies.
Not much work getting done today, is there?
Werk ?? Wossat ?
Uganda might be less poverty-stricken if it stopped invading DR Congo.
Or doing business with those in the Liebour party.
You’d have thought that Wiggins would have got his hair cut for last night’s awards.
Perhaps he didn’t expect to win!
Wiggo is my kind of mod, and not the wanker on this site.
My name is. Dave milliband . I am neither my brother nor his keeper .
I am better looking , more intelligent and posess a higher degree of political savvy than he ever will .
I am unbearably attractive to mature cougars like hilary clinton who had multiple orgasms for the first time when she shook my hand at first meeting . These sexual excesses. On her part have now come home to roost in the unfortunate recent fall on her ample behind resulting tragically in a case of sevevre concussion forcing her early retirement .
I am in short god s gift to grannies and to private bankers worldwide and i hereby claim this creampie which you see. ME licking as my very own .
I think she caught “Benghazi” flu it travelled back in time to infect her shortly before she was due to visit a senate committee looking into her departments role in getting the Libyan ambassador murdered.
.
could the senate hearing be delayed to allow Ms Clinton time to recover.
no rush. mistakes happen and wrong judgements can be made when there is a rush. so no rush. let,s live in a no rush world. what is the rush, after all?
Don’;t worry, so long as the filibuster bill does not go through, Feinstein will fail and there will be no rush. Trust in the GOP.
My resignation happened right before my Benghazi testimony too, dontcha know. *wink*
no rush is unconditional.
.
rush and be owned by the devil.
devil is the detail.
can you see the details in the rush?
we live in a dash to rash world.
change it to no rush world.
best for all.
Yeah, my granny always told me to make haste slowly. These old wives knew a thing or two didn’t they?
where did u put that banana?
This sounds like just the sort of sharp-elbowed company the nation needs.
Why pay tax to those Ugandans if we can duck out of it. That’s what I say!
What, someone not like da poo poo?
Has he manage to extract the knife out of his back yet?
Blimey, these people are bad news, nothing to do with football after all was it Millitwit 2?.
How’s about that then. * jingle jangle *
How this man became a director of SFC is beyond me,I doubt he knows fcul all about football and probably hadnt heard of Sunderland before he was Parachuted into South Shields in place of that useless cnut and timeserver David Clark the supportw=ers couldnt be bothered with him and see this appointment for what it is.If we had a decent paper in Sunderland they would be asking questions but unfortunately Sunderland is the sh…..e of England.
Q. How did the Miliband family come by all that money?
Ralph probably hoarded thousands whilst at the same time spouting communist shyte
Found it in a bin?
Who the fuck are SFC?
Outed as a Shearer-jizzer methinks… You forgot the A, wanker.
I bet he never shopped at the King Street branch.
.
the BoE governor.to.be is odd. Hardly a politically neutral choice. but then maybe the BoE was never neutral or out of politics.
so i guess we need to see the appointments for what they are.
they are political.
Oh! How did you guess?
Some comrades are more equal than others.

We are all in it together!,
We are all in it together!,

The Real Nasty Party’s commenters have been targeting him, too.
This country need a party that tells liberals, the media, do gooders and socialist to fuck off.
Busted greenbelt promise was sufficient for me , the redefining of marriage just puts the cherry on it all. Ive refrained from using out and out strong language as I had thought it was all some terrible PR mistake , in the vein of comming to ones senses and that he would never impersonate Mr Blair as he made such strong words against him , I mean he did have to be anti Blair of the labour party to be the alternative .
I mean when you look back to 2010 and what is oozing through parliament now , what did those of us who voted conservative , actually vote for , some common sense ? after last week I feel robbed in the worst possible way .
As for M senior hes left it too late now I think for leader , it would cause too many problems , even though eds poll ratings are standing beyond what I think is real , I reckon they will have to change leader before the general election
Really – what did you expect from an ex-PR man?
Why don’t MPs being interviewed by C4 News tell Kathy Newman and John Snow to fuck off? Jumped up fucking leftie shit news readers.
“I am the Law!”
Yesterday: The bbc will make sure SPOTY goes to Mo Farah or someone else who isn’t whìte or english. No way on earth they’ll let the Sky sponsored Wiggo win.
Today: Um, er, uh, um, er, is Bradley Wiggins actually a darkie in disguise?
Your repeating yourself,is it old age or just a thick as pig crap lefty, that was news 24 hours ago, so it’s old news.
Yes, astonishing isn’t it. I’m Flabbergasted that this affront to multi-cultural ‘Britain’ was permitted on air, after all the BBC wouldn’t even permit kids to name a cat.
Mind you – that masterpiece of urban windmil-phillic bullshit Countryfile told me last night that rural Britain is so intrinsically racist that African and Asian people have to have special funding to encourage them to travel there, AND some evil bastards have failed to renew this absolutely critical funding. Is there no end to the evil of this regime?
As a matter of interest, does anyone know if there are similar state funded schemes for dung-spattered yokels – to encourage them to sample the ‘buzzin’ streets of urban Britain by providing specially trained urban mentors? Oh shit, I’ve just twigged – they are the first stage of the Milli-plan re-education prograpmme….
John Snow on C4 News fucking it up again. John stick your bus pass up your arse. You are nothing but an overpaid scrounger worse than any benefit scrounger. You make me puke.
I will be fasting on December 19th in solidarity with Guido Fawkes. Who will join me?
Well a predictable climax to the sports personality of the year.
As I knocked one out to Jessica Ennis
Definitely wheels within wheels this year….
So this government’s so incompetent that the Queen is going to the cabinet meeting tomorrow to see what the hell’s going on.
Observe? Fuck that. We are going to kick this bunch out and take over running this country.
She should just sack the lot of them.
Then get them tried for treason.
Phil for Prime Minister.
Particularly as she is expecting a Jubilee trip to London Zoo.
Her Maj may need to heed the 1689 Bill of Rights section on cruel and unusual punishment though, so perhaps only one brick for the handbag rather than two whilst she observes proceedings.
It is well known by some that her press officers have been putting out letters that state clearly that she ‘only acts upon the advice of her Ministers’ – if that is the case then it’s about time that she realised that it is her Ministers who have been totally corrupted – and that she needs to stand up for the British public’s interest and contrary to what Ministers may have been informing her of.
Perhaps time to start withholding assent, and maybe for the people to ask for a rethink on the Royal Assent Act 1967.
.so .much. power.
and in so. few. hands.
so. few. hands.
You forgot to insert “misused” between ‘much’ and ‘power’.
Walter Bagehot had said that the Constitutional duty of the Monarch was to advise, to encourage, and to warn. Since Anne, no Monarch has refused Royal Assent, because to do so would be to imply that Parliament does not act in the King’s or Queen’s name. Since the Hanoverian days the Monarch has essentially been supposed to be the one who tells the PM: “Do you really think this is wise? Can it be done any other way?” if Bagehot’s formulation is to be credited. It would seem, then, if wording such as “She ONLY acts on what her Ministers tell her” is being used, it can mean one of two things– either she acquiesces despite personal reservations, in the interest of Constitutional governance, or else she heartily agrees, but based on possibly faulty information given her for the purpose of her Bagehotian duties. In neither event could you call that good for the Nation if it is supposed to have an institution such as the monarchy represent an institutional memory of what the Nation and its people have been, to be consulted in all matters touching upon maintaining that nation going forward. Either give the old bat a public voice, or go republican– this figurehead nonsense is becoming tiresome.
.
we seem to be heading towards the monarch having a public voice.
what would david icke say?
mervyn king is talking about currency wars in 2013.
do we need a global figure. the monarch is very interested in money matters
.
. in the world of global families…now there is news of beckham junior becoming the face of burberry. does a feudal world commeth. but not feuding this time….the benefit of being dumbed down….but humans are not meant to be dumb.
The currency wars have been going on for about 2-3 years now. Japan is tipped to fall first. Gold and Silver are the key plays moving forward, followed by the gun.
Fear and Loathing in Los Angeles. Word reaches me that the Disgusting Digger is closing in on the LA Times. This isn’t news: he’s been sniffing around like a dog with two dicks in search of bitch in heat for at least three months now. But now I hear that the world’s most unpleasant media criminal is nearing closure.
Murdoch isn’t after money in this acquisition: nobody made much dosh out of the LAT for many a long year. No, Roop is after the influence and cachet the title brings.
Thus the great privacy invader who lost his mind when testifying before the UK’s CM&S Parliamentary Committee is on the verge of having the same set of US press media that he enjoys in Britain. Good to see Transatlantic criminal justice and equality before the law still exercising its unforgiving long arm in the pursuit of villains, be they high or low.
He’ll die soon, he is an old guy.
US is no stranger to this – remember Charles Foster Kane ?
The Financial Times summed up the rupee on page 10 and 12 on 8th December 2012 – his mommy quoted from 2003 – of not liking peoples privacy being invaded.
And am I being moodded again?
It would appear not

Given that a large proportion of the daily posts consist of the same monomaniacal comments about the bbc, I don’t think you’re best placed to accuse others of repetition.
No points for repetition.
“Leftie cocaine bumboys! Bbc are corrupt! Socialist buggering cokeheads! Bbc are scum!” repeat x a trillion.
I’ll admit, “Leftie cocaine bumboys” was funny the first time. Novelty wears off after the nine hundred thousandth time.
Which is why your lot were voted out last time.

As D Milipede was the first signatory to the Lisbon Treaty – one wonders if he in his contractual & business dealing has not in fact breached any EU laws – if he has well what a result that would be?
I’m only saying it because so many local councils “have” breached EU rules and regulations themselves “especially” in the ‘outsourcing’ world / market …

School principals have a patriotic duty to be armed.

We believe that the donations we get from the NRA and gun manufacturers means that the right to purchase automatic weapons that can fire off 30 rounds in one go is far more important than the lives of a bunch of 6 year olds. And they were probably the children of Democrats anyway. Praise jesus.

You tell ‘em, Benny boy! I’ve always been kinda partial to your saying about how experience is the best teacher and so, her lessons cost dearly; but yet, there are some fools, who can’t learn anything anywhere else but in HER classroom, and precious little even THERE.

I actually hate Labour. The problem with some of you is there’s no room allowed for variance of views. You’re either deemed right wing or leftie socialist marxist scum. Such blàck and whìte splitting is extremely simplistic. To criticise the uglier aspects of the right is immediately taken as evidence of being a labour supporter. This is the real world, not a world where everything is simple polar opposites.
And given that traces of cocaine were found in toilets used by delegates at the last Tory conference, it might be wise not to use that as a point to attack others on.
Yeah, i bet you don’t mind Polish plumbers and the like you Marxist traitor.
Anonymong, say hello to irony. Irony, this is anonymong.
rabid right say hello to spoof
Are you 100% sure that these traces were the Tories doings in the khazi eh, not the Journos, BBC, sales people, cleaners, guy who delivered the bottled water in the morning…. Anyway you find traces of the recreational stimulant of choice for the upper-middle-left absolutely everywhere. This is because degenerates use banknotes to inhale the muck. Notes contaminated, bank sorting machines/atms contaminated, everything contaminated and there have been plenty of false convictions in the USA because of this.
I suspect that it was the Left that came up with the polarising notion that you are either with us or against us, and I agree they are experts at simplistic reasoning – supported by their fit the evidence to the theory zealotry
Cocaine aside…
You mentioned…”To criticise the uglier aspects of the right is immediately taken as evidence of being a labour supporter.”
You really need to understand the differences between libertariansim and statism.
Forget the Left vs Right dogma you see in the MSM today….that is all deliberatley obfuscatory.
Today in the UK, we have three main libertarian parties….the yellow party, the red party and the blue party.
What ever happened to the real socialist party?….answer….Tony Blair converted them to the New Labour Party by dropping Clause IV. To understand Clause IV you need to understand a bit of Karl Marx….I’ll leave it there…..you now need to do some homework….
Apologies friend.
The problem is that some of the lefty agitators usually attack that way, and as per Poe’s law it is very difficult to discern friend from foe, or fair comment from attack, in this medium. Emoticons do work though.
– but look a bit childish.
Get your point about the repetitive BBC stuff, not that I contribute to those.
While the decision to develop north sea oil fields announced today is good, why on earth is no one except UKIP mentioning the problem currently ongoing with fish ? Apparently, a much needed moratorium on fishing required to allow fish stocks to recover has hit a snag, and the EuroMongs are trying to defer the start of this to 2017, by which time there may actually be no fish left.
All for baiting (pardon the pun) the left and so on, but surely the fish issue is worth a bit of attention ? Fish ‘n’ Chips is after all more important than gay marriage etc.
I wouldn’t poo-poo that notion
Ja, Oui, Si – there will be nothing left for you englanders to eat, except the eastern european rubbish we are dumping on you.
That meat is no good, has TB you know.
D. Cameron says: We have to change
E. Milliband says: We need to change
D. Milliband says: Have you got any change?
N. Clegg: We’ll never change. We might as well top ourselves.
N. Farage: I’ll get it all changed.
Have you any change?

That photo of him and and his other photo of a bannana tells me all I want to know about this champagne socialist,who in fact is not of this land.
Brother against brother,knife in back tells you all you need to know about this Communist bunch of immigrants to OUR/OUR/OUR country.
Red Ed/Brother are a couple of fortune seeking champagne socialists,who IMHO should peddle their father inspired crap elsewere,but not in this land.
I saw today Cleggover reading completely from cue prompts trying to explain what the Dumbs policies are about.
Well I for one will tell him that he and his party are toast at the next GE based on the crap they are spouting.
On to something else Cammorononian and his gay marriage agenda,what the hell does this PR guy in a suit think is on peoples minds right now?.
No it is not this.
Cammoronian,get this into your thick skull,the majority of this land WANT OUT OF THE EUSSR,why are you not getting this message,IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE A THICKO WHO CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FROM THE TREES.
You CAMMORONIAN are currently destroying your party.
Maybe you should pi– of and let somebody with some knowse take over.
Nice post!

The mob you refer to should at the least be removed from power, and sent on their way.
They are bad news.
Please don’t call him Camaronian , as they were some of the best fighting men we had during WW 2 They must not be confused with a spineless turd that has temporary residence in Downing street
The leftys have doomed everyone on this planet to hell on earth.

So a bloke who buggers his boyfriend can’t divorce his wife for adulation – or is it the other way round? – coz buggeration ain’t proper sex – know wot I mean? – but I do know what proper sex is with normal people – but this is beyond me – I’ll tweet Prezza – he’ll give me a definitive answer for sure!
Yes – you have hit upon some more legal issues not so far mentioned to the masses which would need to be resolved.
Weasel words indeed in the last minute manifesto squeeze.
You cannot just rename a civil-partnership contract to marriage and be done with it.
Unless of course Cameron decides to compromise by using the stationers crayons.
Never realised that adultery would end a civil partnership.
The shocking decline of fish stocks in the north sea, and globally, was raised in Foreign Affairs journal several years back. This was in response to warnings from marine scientists at that time.
Why on earth are Cameron and the other party ‘leaders’ futzing around with gay marriage and other socially destructive non-policies when we are actually in very real danger of allowing those idiots across the channel to wipe out a very important part of our diet ?
You Called?
Yes – it is nearing the time.
We have tried it with the Icelanders before and just like they won the bank war they won the cod war.
Best to choose the battles you can win.
Nuke Spain.
Only because they threatened to pull out of NATO. If we pulled out of the EU I could see shots being exchanged between RN and Spanish navy ships over fishing.
Since when did British Pilchards become Dago Sardines?
I think about 1973.
CamerTwat is a shit head, a lunatic of the same retarded intellectual level as McBonkers, – and with about as much qualification with his ridiculous PPE from a snob’s Collydge – donchakno!
Fuck him – and his scabby crew- with red hot pokers – regularly and with gusto and passion!
Ad-hominem attacks are not going to save cod stocks.
Why on earth are they, and us, arguing about how a geezer married to another geezer is going to be deemed to have committed adultery, when tomorrows fish supper is being destroyed by our EU partners ?
That is I think much more to the point, and the pokers should be prepared once this insanity is brought under control.
Agreed, – and I’ll be ready!
Meanwhile, has the useless Cameron done ANYTHING of any value for this land?
Well – the Dana oil deal thing announced today doesn’t look too bad, and the recently announced budget has generally helped relieve pressure on many at both the lower / lower middle and upper end of the pay scale.
The decision on Fracking is also good.
I am not sure how much of this was him though, and he could have done a lot more but hasn’t. He keeps getting bogged down in silly ‘social democrat’ type issues, and to be fair comes across as a schmuck internationally and to a degree at home.
He certainly should be focusing more on things which are important to the nation, our food supplies should be at the top of that list. In particular, to my mind, fish.
Fish is also very much on my mind.
Iceland is doing OK
Told banks to do one and keep their own fish

In getting right next time, do not assist in an evolutionary play which will create a stronger strain. Learn from medicine, do not use antibiotic quite so carelessly.
That is not libertarian, and it led to the current situation.

mmm so ya think UKIP is some sort of retirement home for the elderly who erm believe that old hat from yesteryear do ya ??? better get thinking about a bridge , so us partitioned duffers can start telling the yoof about , wonk politics …..
A few weeks ago there was an article citing that Tim Montgomerie was going to have come off the fence re his right wing idealogue quotes and sympathies to the coalition . Now when con home was that influential site ,that had exclusives and top cabinet members posting , you used to get quite a few dissafected tories posting , responding to tory comparisons . Lady Thatcher being a sort of touch stone of quality as the new ministers , began to shape and speak about matters . Tim was the credible grass roots voice that held in check much of the lite stuff , there was Lord Ashcroft , Ian Dale all of which were independent enough to present even if a bit dire , some good PR for Cameron and discussion , from the it would seem evacuating Conservative membership .
I would perhaps place Tim Montgomeries newsnight appearence , as a bit of watershed for him and perhaps for those of us who are suffering conservative indegestion (no lord Rennie jokes) , nay chocking on utter disbelief . Tim is entitled to his say , he is adept and subtle with political play of any pieces , but to assume that like numerous other civil rights , we will just grump with the redefinition of marriage and once legislated forget about it , all kinda happy ever after, was a big mistake . As far as I can recall in all the conservative parties political hsitory , no audacious murmings of changing the definition of marriage have ever even been entertained in the most tolerated of fringe groups .
But I take issue with Tims statement about Camerons civil liberties agenda and the line he used “that since his election as leader David Cameron has always had this agenda ” if that is so , then I would like Tim to point out at which conference speech before 2010 he showed us this , on which leaflets and promotions he showed us this . Try as I might Tim I cannot recall any major or minor speech in which David Cameron , looked us in the eye , told us straight etc etc , that he was going to change the definition of Marriage , If I am wrong and missed a major speech from 2006 – 2010 then please show it , as I am assuming this is really a nasty surprise for the voters , when in power to have such views and to change , somthing that pre dates democracy on a secret inner circle meeting that was not known about . It is not just divisive , but a betrayal of what was presented to everyone as the man that was put in office . I did not know in 2010 when I voted for David Camerons Conservatives , that he wanted to change the definition of marriage nor did any other voter …… so quite simple why this is wrong in that sense .
We are now in the slack , of the government not promoting proper man and women marriage as aspirational good , for the majority of people , even though it has been doing that job for millenia without democracy . It is a majority natural society thing of good , the basis of most familes and stability (well at least before all the new lifestyle choices mob started getting on TV time after time , or TV started digging up worn jaded married types , to really stress it )
So we have few people getting upset at gay marriage , but not at the real loss which is that this government no longer supports the natural marriage of man and woman and the foundation of family ….. No cabinet minsiter has spoken up for traditional marriage , no Labour shadow minister ……. in other words there all playing silent Bob , to get us to think the passing tirades of the media froth are mere sand dunes , with the truth better for all us once we get used to it and put in place . I doubt archbishop Welby will say much either . ah a fete de a complie by silence from power eh ?? really is that all the modern educated minds have to offer , silent bullying and oppresion , half baked surveys , is that what your 67k per year delivers for the British people on helping family life ??? or explaining Gods imagining of man and woman .
there is then the matter of how small this gay marriage pergorative truly is , always has been and always will be , where as heterosexual marriage as it stands is far bigger in numbers to bring benefits and blessing to in our national life . If you care to read dear cranmers marriage service , you will find it to be one of the most personal oaths , of equality there is without a junket conference one can make . The vows are held by both sexes as special , even if they do get ravaged in the current lame support them .
It is for a man and a woman , a personal moment , no state stasi , no thinking oh ere wonder if I might be upsetting , someone in comission for equalities brigade , it is true freedom rendered proper and ordered , for good not just of the man and woman couple , but to give them a new place in the bigger communitie .
the fact that Tony Blair put it under seige , is no excuse for not telling the people of its true worth or upholding that , to the ends of the very earth .
This meddling does not speak for God
Conservative Homomarriage , is that the new site working title ???
The manifesto pledge on this matter represents a complete abdication of democratic process. The statement was squeezed in to what amounts a footnote three days prior to the election date, and as evidenced by its very wording was certainly not a component of considered mandate honestly presented.
The pledge represents the worst weasel words for either side: A false promise for those who would be in favour, and a trojan horse against liberty itself.
It’s real intention goes against fundamental Conservative and libertarian values and it does not represent the true desire of the people.
The assault on a key component of society which has history predating the state itself by millennia is brutal, unjust and unwarranted. The sanctity of the institution we call marriage cannot be vandalized in this manner.
The state has no right to interfere in the realm of God, or alter the holy matrimony which is entered by man and woman under Him: A spiritual bond of souls of the most profoundly personal nature.
The sooner this shameful attack is halted, and libertarian politic resurrected the better for all of us.
Rejoice, dear brethren, and be glad

Anyone wonder what sonny boy Rupee thinks about that?
Amways fascinates me this tory/”coalition” government spreading mis-information about labourites, via their school tie mates of influence, and clubs, of the carlton nature, in that warped tory white south-east of england, in that hidden London, in back rooms. Yes, fascinating it is, and so see through, as a glasshouse, as in their country gardens, up some lane, secutity guarded.
Are you still pissed from last night?
Right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes,, gone on hunger strike on Dec 17th to protest against David Cameron’s proposal to legalise same sex marriages.
Today my daughter looked up at me and said,
“Dad, is the end of the world coming?”
With a tear in my eye I replied,
“Eat up. Its only Samantha’s cooking.”
And how much taxpayers’ money was spent on that kitchen?

Labour 40 (no change)
Lib Dems 11 (plus 2)
UKIP 10 (plus 6)

Actually it is more a question of how the polls frame the questions.

You quote the Populus poll yet omit the 10% who presently could not give a monkeys about the whole charade.
Wake me when the difference approaches 20%
