Clegg SpAd Apologises for Cabinet Office Electioneering
The Special Adviser code states:
“19. Special advisers must not take part in national political activities, which are: holding, in a party political organisation, office which impinges wholly or mainly on party politics in the field of Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, the Northern Ireland Assembly or the European Parliament…
20(ii) …if they wish to take part in a General, European or by-election campaign, or to help in a party headquarters or research unit during such a campaign, they must first resign their appointment.”
Despite this, Nick Clegg’s SpAd James McGrory launched the LibDem Eastleigh by-election campaign last night from the Cabinet Office. The Tories reported him to the powers that be and now the Cabinet Office say:
“James has already apologised for sending the email. He has been reminded of the rules.”
He’s sorry, he’s sorry, he’s so so sorry. Who he has apologised to was not mentioned, but an interesting precedent has been set; abuse taxpayer funded position to politic and you are fine as long as you are “reminded of the rules”. Guido imagines that some people over at the Department for Education will note the wrist-slapping with interest.
UPDATE: McGrory apologised to the Cabinet Secretary.
I’m so sorry
Me too
You should be leader Chris. I’m so sorry.
Ps – How is the new iPad?
Nick, I’m expecting a full body search. Can you advise where is the best place to hide it?
I can advise where on your better half you can stick it but I hope its the larger iPad.
Battery out or in?
I bet he sucked it to him big time.
Have you ‘Jailbroken’ it yet Chris? Just asking.
Repression turns to projection ^^^
“Shamed former MP Chris Huhne has grabbed one last lump of taxpayers’ cash by buying a £600 iPad on his expenses just before he quit.Shortly before he pleaded guilty in court to asking his ex-wife to take his speeding points, the Lib Dem decided to treat himself to a top of the range Apple tablet.”
“Huhne received £17,207 – three months of his salary – when he quit the cabinet claiming he was innocent and would clear his name.”
“He is also able to take a £70,000 severance package on quitting as an MP, also from the public purse.”
“The criminal politician does not have to give the iPad back as IPSA, the expenses watchdog, says pursuing him through the courts would be ‘disproportionate to the benefit.”

The usual gym in Vauxhall …
TRUST ME, I’M A LIBDEM….
Bad manners.
Ok, so if that is the case, why not guilty by marital coercion ?
Marital coercion is a very odd thing. Almost like a woman has promised God to obey her husband so she has to do everything he says. I heard somewhere vague that before this law, a man would be considered guilty for everything his wife did in his presence.

Britain has become the biggest magnet for migrants in Europe, EU officials revealed yesterday.
The highest total recorded – 590,950 – came to live here in 2010, their figures showed. This intake was more than twice the 251,159 migrants who opted to go to France.
It means that this country has overtaken Spain and Germany, where levels fell sharply, as the top target for immigrants seeking jobs and a new home.

To be fair since 2010 the government has made strenuous efforts to make the UK a far less attractive destination.
It was Utopia before then.
Nirvana
And will be again
Yeah, right.
For 4 months Brown was in power for 8 months in 2010 Cameron was in power.
In office, dear boy, in office.
Rt Hon Norman Threshers, with the cat?
Well, 7months of that were in the reign of the Great Leader Dave 1
Brown was there part of May, so Cameron almost 8 months.
Somebody’s got to do the work. Our lot can’t or won’t.
One UK builder told me than he cannot do as cheap as Polish builder as he has his family in UK and Polish one support his family back in Poland.
One UK builder told me that his german 4×4 uses a hell of a lot of petrol when he drives it to the alps.
One UK builder told me that his german 4×4 uses a hell of a lot of petrol when he ffs-takes-ffs it to the alps
This is how Connie puts it
Spijt me zo
Spite me so. I like that. We should all spite clegg and anyone else who’s been caught sucking up to the Tory Cabinet.
Now that I look back, I realize that a life predicated on being obedient and taking orders is a very comfortable life indeed. Living in such a way reduces to a minimum one’s need to think.
cheating yellow bastards
“Guido imagines that some people over at the Department for Education will note the wrist-slapping with interest.”
Did the failed rapist write an angry letter about that too?
Poor old Gover, egg on face was it bad advice and he was just opening his mouth and letting sound pour forth, or did he actually believe what he was told. I give it to Gover he chose a better elocutionist than little Willy Hague
Tough luck for you, most people from ITN and the BBC have got the message that this is a Great U-Turn brought on by the shadow Education Secretary, Stephen Twigg MP (who yes is gay and we rather like for voting correctly with the public on that vote the other night) and David Miliband MP (who is not gay and who was right yet again on this).
I like Hague’s beard better.
Police took DNA sample from Diane Abbott to prove she is not missing Made leine McC ann
A stool sample would have been more informative
They couldn’t carry a stool sample there were only two of them.
Health and safety dontcha know.
Did they find traces of jerk horse in the DNA?
Tested the young lady in New Zealand, and can confirm this is not the person people are searching for. She is clearly alive, well and healthy.
Tested !
Did they ask her to breath on a mirror?
What sort of forty something man needs to be advised by a chld?
That SPAZ probably doesnt even shave
Clegg you are paid to lead , if you want advice ask the imbeciles that voted for you !
SPADs are there to mill about, mutter rhubarb in the background and make their bosses look important. It is better paid work than being an extra on Eastenders, but not quite as lucrative as being a money-launderer.
Indeed

Some of them have to read bedtime stories to their ministers.
Don’t they William?
The FibDems have a lot to be sory for.
He would probably put the repayment on expenses then blame the manlady that he lives with
Guilty your Honour of perverting the course of nature
If clegg moved in with his manlady, would she become his landlady?
Can a Tranny Hermaphrodite plead marital coercion.??
If he’d bought it from us, he have earned points.
Proving that the difference between “SpAd” and “spaz” is one letter, though in this era, an e-mail sufficed just as well (*boom tish*).
And I’m glad he admits he’s a sorry sack of shite, too.
We are all so sorry
That claim doesn’t stand up.
Sorry or soggy ?
We all know who wears the pants in that marriage
“Miriam can I go and wee?”
“NOH!”

Miliband caught asleep with flies undone……
Where was Chris Bryant ?

Anti-Semitic bastards!
Both of the Miliband of brothers give a lot of people the willies, if the truth be told.

So if Smith was a known to police as being a nonce 7 years prior to being elected, what confidence does that give in any of those in power are clean ?
The police were aware of accusations that Cyril Smith was a child abuser 7 years before he became an MP.
So, here is a question for you. Did he become an MP despite being a paedophile or was he promoted to the position of MP because he was a paedophile ?
Chris Huhne’s ex-wife weeps in court as she claims he forced her to have a termination because it was “bad timing”.
Notice how Guido’s giving Vicky an easy time?
Always was a sucker for a pretty face,
+1
More likely because he doesn’t want to prejudice the trial with banter, and she is not a thoroughly discredited politician.
However: As senior economic adviser to the government, the scope for damage which she could have caused the economy is far greater than Huhne’s. Huhne did mess up Energy policy – badly – but her contributions have not been closely examined yet.
Given her vengeful nature which is now apparent, that issue should perhaps come under closer scrutiny. Once the trial is over.
I’d wonder about her judgement.
That she didn’t really think what happens when you insert shit into a fan from less than 2 feet away and without suitable protective clothing and glasses. You know, I really liked tommorows world when i were a lad.
The face that lunched with a thousand shits
Huhne the monster defense. Maybe true, but takes two to tango.
The records of her termination can be dug out to confirm any observations which may support her claims.
“Defence”.
LibDems are nice people really….
I’m sorry ?
My ‘bad timing’
… an opinionated, manipulative, mannish,. Greek strategist “” had no choice “” …
I have a quandry on this thing called Marital Coersion (Vicky Pryce) and Gay Marriage…
1. If two Women get married which one can claim marital coersion?
2. If two Men get married can any claim marital coersion?
If the answer to 2 in none then is this not a case for sexual discrimination?
Any learned people on here?
In 1977, the Law Commission recommended that the defence of marital coercion should be abolished altogether. They said that they did not consider it to be appropriate to modern conditions
IMHO it should only apply to people born in the 19th century.
So Muslims then
Do they support this…… ?

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so sorry…… hope that makes it all better and the tooth fairy will still come round for tea
I am sure one of the LibDems could have given the boy a bare bottom smack !
Lib Dems—do you agree aborting a healthy child should be a criminal offence?
Guido – in the words of father ted – now that’s sarcasm
Who’s his father ?
