The morning after we learn that the Mail Online now has almost double the reach of the Guardian, Kings Place’s finest are pouring precious resources into Live Blogging the ‘end of the world’:
Guido is sure that those facing the chop in editorial this Christmas find the whole thing hilarious.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
The Guardian will live blog anything!!! No wonder its losing money
They frequently blog,but I doubt they was their hands or flush. Dirty leftys.
Kebab Time – the only blog in the world worse than the Guardian blog is your blog
You were sorely missed yesterday, where were you?
Would have though that “the rapture” would have interested you Guido?
They should live blog PT’s weekly Shark
Jump. I fear the word ‘satire’ is no longer of sufficient weight to capture the sheer audacity of her comic genius.
The Mail has double the reach of the Guardian?
You have been too close to Westminster too long Guido. In the real world the Guardian has no reach to double.
Outside of the political village the Guardian is only found in public libraries, teachers’ common rooms and BBC local radio.
and pinned to outside lavatory walls.
Isn’t The Guardian ranked No.3 in the world for the number of hits exceeded only the The DM and The NYT?
yes it is but in typical lefty style no body pays for it. thye just used the blog to direct traffic and con advertisers to advertise ont he site. Hence the more shrill articles recently and the americanisation of the papers blog
Hmmm, Not quite the conflagration we had been led to expect…
Er, to the Mayans this was merely the recording of the end of one cycle of time and the beginning of another. It’s only the ‘end of the world’ to modern western fuckwits.
I am glad I am the wrong side of 50 then, sir.
You sound as if you are from the BBC.
The end of civilisation? I’m waiting for it to start.
Touché, but I thought we were doing reasonably OK up until about 900 AD.
How?
How!
HOW!
Who?
Bernard Hagen Daz. Says
You re guilty of passing off my ice cream franchise as your surname …… See. You in. Court ..
The end of civilisation?, didn’t that happen some time ago?.
1997 as I recall.
Don’t you mean 1979!
No.
How much longer can the Scott trust support the grauniads haemorrhaging of cash? Shurely the graun is now on its own countdown to catastrophic bankruptcy!
The end of the world will come before that 23 year old is named by The Guardian.
Still here, I think.
Well, it seems we’re all still here…
…sadly, so is Moonbat
See, Once again i saved the world !
I sent a Christmas card to you, at the House of Commons. It came back marked “not known at this address”.
Or more precisely
“. Not seen at this address for past two years. But still. Draws. Salary … “
The Guardian must console itself that it will always have double the retch of other newspapers
+1.
At least I’ve got a good excuse for not sending any Christmas cards this year.
Interesting that the Mail on-line reach is less than double the Guardian whereas its print sales nine times bigger.
I have to admit I occasionally visit the guardian website, but would never ever ever ever, (have I made my point?) buy the fucking rag. But the MIL likes the DM hard copy, ooeerrr missus.
Telegraph are doing it too
Only 364 shopping days to the end of the world
Carpet Land obliterated?, say it is not so.
I’m afraid to say it is…you should see the state of my knees *innocent face*
Moo
This sums it up rather nicely:

Brilliant.
Is it all over yet?
Unfortunately not it would seem.
Just come out into the daylight.
God it looks awful and I have just four horsemen in the distance.
At the command…”Remove Tin Foil Hats !!” the assembled multitudes will remove tin foil hats and take their largcatil ..wait for it laddie !!!….”Remove…Tin Foil Hats !!
Fuck it…this means that I have to get my arse into gear and do some X’mas shopping.
What sort of gear will get for your arse?
Reverse.
Slim fitting leather jeans are IN this year.
Seeing as today is the end of the world I’m gonna contact all my relatives to tell them…
I’m gay!
I’m well jel! *angry face* I thought I was his fave Elf? *sad face* I’m totes upset. *cries* What can I do to cheer myself up? *bends over, opens legs*
You were Shamazing babes
Look you know full well our policy on bikes, and yes it does apply to you.
I wouldn’t do that Sal, Mitchell might park his bike in it.
Moo
pervert!
Did you call one of our members lazy?
Can’t have tinsel. It might catch fire. Can’t have candles. It might burn someone. Can’t have a tree. It night offend muslims. Can’t have alcohol. It might offend muslims.
It’s the crispy pork roast then + towel head surprise!
Fuck You!
Political double speak. Maybe a cry from the heart.
Yvette is useless in the sack or Ed has problems with his own sack.
I deserve a mention too.
Bastard
Thanks Ed…could you dress up as Santa every night?
HOE HOE HOE
Anyone?
Working on his allotment.
Ho ho ho.
Working on her corner.
Lord Rothmere was personal friends with Hitler.
…..so much so that Adolf could spell Rothermere’s name.
I admit, I didn’t bother checking the correct spelling. But I suppose one thing in my favour is that at least I’m not personal friends with a genocidal racist lunatic.
And you could get a job at the Grauniad.
For not checking the spelling or for not being friends with a mass murderer?
No, for being a prig.
So on that basis, you like Hitler.
J U D E A DECLARES WAR ON GEMRANY! circa 1933
I’ve had a hair transplant you know.
Hilter and me…..we were like THAT.
So what if we got the date wrong? Unlike you heathen today, at least our kids could count and we sure knew how to party (like it’s 1999).
Is it pure coincidence that the Mayan prophecy coincides with Gangnam Style reaching 1 billion views on Youtube?
Read this earlier on the other thread. Self promotion to swell the figures?
Are you Psy Co?
So you read every single comment in every single thread. What a dazzling life you must lead.
Not really. Some, unlike you don’t have a sense of humour.
Happy Hannukah.
Sure that fucking clever you’re extinct.
You’re so clever, how come we have all your gold?
I sold them to you.
A woman from Zurich has been jailed for four years in Switzerland after taking her disabled husband on a trip to India and leaving him there – to save on care costs.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the 65-year-old showed her husband videos of “palm-fringed beaches and luxury hotels” to convince him to go there.
The woman, a currency trader from Bassersdorf, then took the 74-year-old out of a £6,000 a month retirement home in Switzerland to a poverty-stricken suburb of New Delhi – and reportedly paid a family £1,500 a month to take him in.
She then returned to Switzerland and did not contact him again. The man died in November 2008, eight months after he’d arrived in January.
According to The Local, the cantonal high court found that the home in Punjab was not equipped to provide the medical care necessary for the man, who suffered with dementia and was severely disabled.
Thats a story scary enough to turn me gay!
Come on in and join the party!
Perhaps somebody is confused by the Novem bit of November, but most people count November as ten months after January.
£1,500 is expensive – the Indian family were raking it in.
Can do the same in other states for Rps 15000 / month – much cheaper.
Bloody Mayans!
The root of their demise was the introduction of Gay Marriage…apparently.
I wouldn’t wipe my arse on the Garinadu. Bargepole is the word that comes to mind…
You wipe your arse with a bargepole? The X Factor beckons.
Britains got talent !
But it is a long shot and he might be a bit wooden.
I dream of appearing on X-Factor.
I mean who in their right mind names their child Neon?
Argon and Luminescent presumably?
The mother seems to be enjoying the limelight just a tad too much btw
Don’t put me in the spotlight; it’s all about the child.
Come along quietly Neon is Mum.
Striplight?.
Mr and Mrs Chrysler?
Neon E.ON
Catherine of Argon?
Is she Noble like the gas?
he’s very bright
In two minds about this story. It is a sad fact that Glioblastomas are invariably fatal sooner or later at present, so I can understand her desire to ease his passing if she can.
The passage of time is just a figment of your imaginations
Don’t believe; it’s relative.
Sorry God, but I win.
The apparent flow of time and the change from order to disorder is inevitable, and can’t be stopped.
One day everything will be just radiation at a couple of degrees K and nothing will ever happen.
ahh that’s better

You seem to have a bit of a fixation with anal sex with men. Protesting too much?

I fucking hope it’s doomsday I’ve just run buck naked through the Blue Peter studios with a ribbon tied round me dick.
Didn’t Jimmy Savile used to do that?
I’d like to have given some of those Blue Peter girls sticky backs
Charlie Brooker may have got there before you.
I always wondered why they called it Blue Peter.
I’ve just got up and opened the curtains, and I can categorically confirm that here in North Wales at least, the world still exists.
What a shame!.
And, what’s more, we’re still 97.48% white
I went into a Poundland in Llandudno once. That was about as close as I have ever come to the end of the world.
You are unkind. Poundland is a very salient reminder of how much the supermarkets rip us off.
I buy all my garden birdseed and fat balls from that very store.
Can we say, in a real sense, that being in North Wales is any sort of proof of existence?
I think not.
Therefore I am not.
No more proof than anywhere else, I would imagine. Apart from being mosque-free, we have very little air or light pollution, the scenery is beautiful, the lamb is rather good, and we have more than our fair share of wind farms.
Oh, I nearly forgot, we have our own ‘parliament’ and a very competent First Minister. It’s not all bad.
Did I mention the sheep?
And with a pair of bonoculars you could see the Liverpool Skyline if it wasn’t for the ‘ills inbetween!
No hills between Kinmel Bay beach and Seaforth, which is just about visible. Worked in Bootle for 5 years (90 – 95) (building industry) just next to the Giro. At other times on and off Kirkby, Huyton, Cantril Farm, Page Moss, Halewood.
Fond memories…
Sorry binoculars.
“Bonoculars” are what pontificating pop-stars wear when observing the self-inflicted clusterfuck that is Africa.
Ewe too?
Where do you live?
Come home to a real fire. Buy a second home in Wales
Wales is now a land of Windmills and electricity pylons.
Ah windmills, are they generating more than 1% of our energy yet?
Abergele. You are Meibion Glyndŵr and I claim my £5.
Not up to much now, are you?
Reflect on this. You can buy a two-bedroom flat overlooking the beach and sea in Rhyl for £50k.
And before you say Rhyl is a shithole, it’s no worse than many parts of London or other provincial towns and cities.
And we’re 97% white.
When I lived in Wales I found it too coaled.
Why do you live in a ‘redhouse’ bach?
Londonistan is a shithole too. I wouldn’t live there either.
97%! Worth £50K. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Rhyl, a 97% lack of, ‘enrichment’ and ‘diversity’. Got to be better than Londistan etc.
I am Welsh, therefore I claim.
JSA, Housing, Incapacity-to-speak-coherently, Sheep-dagging, Orange chips and a big TV to watch the Eisteddfod and continual repeats of Gareth Edwards scoring THAT TRY.
Why are museums free and subsidised by the state?
I can see no logic in this at all. And we are now seeing chancers using the special privileges that museums enjoy the same way that chancers use charities.
In the case of art galleries if they have paintings loaned by the late Sir Dennis Mahon they would lose them if they charged admission. Museums on Merseyside starting charging admission for a while in the 1990′s and he promptly withdrew the Italian baroque paintings he had loaned. There are many in The National Gallery, especially Guercino, Reni and Giordano, that were part of his superb collection.
Culture for the masses. You ought to see all the chavs wandering around The Walker.
All foreigners, Irish, people like that trying to find a place out of the rain.
Next week I will be visiting the Ministry for Silly Names.
Plebgate has morphed into Plodgate. I think Metgate is something else.
I wonder how many people (like myself) go the the Graun’s website not for information but out of sheer astonishment at the pronouncements of the Left.
Rustbugger is a clever chap. His policy is to fill it with extreme “progressive” dialogue designed to make sensible readers gasp. It is actually a form of pornography.
Rather belatedly, he’s discovered the idea of putting up stuff about Eastenders, and other TV programmes for the plebs, to try to up the click rate.
the problem with this is that regualar commentators say the paper is dumbing down.
I too, go to the Guardian just to remind myself what utter scum lefties are. All I want for Christmas is the Guardian to go tits up, so maybe I should refrain, and just take it as a self evident truth that lefties are degenerates.
Remember the good old days when ALL those who served within the police force voted Tory…errrr not anymore
In fact who does…The over 70’s middle / upper class is your only true core now.
Labour, a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Do the farmers still vote for them?
I doubt it
Who gives a flying f*ck about the tories around here? They lost it years ago and are now just a pale imitation of Bliar and Ed’s ‘third way’ fascist party.
Moose old chap. How does it feel being part of a core of Owen Jones, Diane Abbotts and Sally Bercows?
You are right about the Tories though, they are dead, long live UKIP.

Just heard Pesto on Radio 2 jeremy vine show talking about jewellry of huge sentimental value which has been stolen from his house. I wouldn’t wish this kind of burglary on anyone, least of all when it involves items which were owned by his late wife. But thefts like this are occurring all over the UK every single day. Most people don’t have the luxury of being able to appeal to millions of BBC radio listeners for its return. They instead have to rely on police too busy chasing ageing celebrities and ministers, and the weak sentencing of a liberal judiciary which offers virtually no deterrent to criminal, marauding scum who prey on the public for their drug and beer money. Something for the common purpose comrades to consider at their next gathering?

Speaking of nauseating leftist hypocrites, King Arthur Scargill has failed in his attempt to keep an NUM London flat for his life and post mortem the life of his wife. Worthy of comrade Bob Mugabe – a fellow marxist.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-20303797
“The NUM said the flat cost £34,000 a year, which it could not afford.”
More than my take home pay. From 1982 to 1985, and 1991 to 2011

Hi,
Lets watch the great and the good drown in their own runny excrement,ie royals daily mail ,church of England ,British Army ,MI5, MI6 ,police and all the other tory establisment types who rob us and ruin us
