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.
No one up then
Huhne will be next week. And some.
hows your weather moniker ?
Beautiful yesterday 20°
Horrible today overcast 6°
A set-in pattern for some time now.
I hope I spend my retirement posting comments all day on somebody else’s blog – it must be very satisfying.
The comments section does have the feel of a meeting place for lonely men, who may have retired overseas or may be lying, who try to establish friendships with other lonely men and cheer each other on to make pathetic jokes or engage in pointless pseudo-intellectual conversations.
… and banal conversations about the weather etc
Fuck me, it can’t get any worse can it? CRMM is now on about the fucking weather.
It really makes the day when someone comes on here to grouse about other people’s conversations. It has suggestions of a non-philosophical notion of deconstruction. I would say that the temperature has risen by about 0.375°. Approximately.
get over yourself anon
@Anonymous
I could see the Dolomiti through the clouds. Know you are hanging on every word…
It makes my day we “regulars” admit that think they are having conversations by posting on here.
CRMM please tell more about your fascinating and interesting life discussing the weather in your retirement paradise and how it allows you to comment on the weather in the comments section of this blog on an almost full time basis. You must be very fulfilled. Forgive me if I am so jealous that I don’t reply.
Anon, have you been drinking a little too much of the local tipple in your retirement paradise?
I have made a fortune writing crap from Italy!
I actually have a lot of friends here and get out all the time. I am off out now in fact, so I don’t have time to post a full reply.
yes dear, I am sure you do
I will be marking this down as a win
ROTFLMFAO
It is rather sad to see someone who can only obtain a dubious (and probably Freudian) fulfilment by posting under my moniker at 1:00 pm.
True he has made rather a faltering and pathetic attempt to emulate my style. On imagines that it is the same person as the one who accuses me of being a pseudo-intellectual.
What self-regard can this person possibly have when one considers that, under his own terms, he has to resort to becoming a pseudo-pseudo-intellectual? I can see the possibility of an infinite regress setting in here!
The other strange thing is, I have just returned from town, not as he stated, going out. Keep trying TaT.
@The man on the Clapham omnibus
Managed to squeeze one out again have you?
Put a sock in it.
Oh – you are a sock. How sad.
@CRMM
To be fair to tat, he has called Schrodinger’s cat a pseudo-intellectual, but I don’t think anybody would suggest you were pseudo or any other form of intellectual.
I suspect that the 1 pm post was you, and that you are now denying it – but to be honest it was very funny and I really don’t care if it was a fake because it could so easily have been written by you. It was good to see that you did get out for a little bit.
@CRMM says “The other strange thing is, I have just returned from town, not as he stated, going out”.
Indeed, how very strange!
the use of the phrase “a dubious (and probably Freudian) fulfilment” does suggest a certain disposition to pseudo-intellectualism
I think I may have had to go out again
Fuck off grandad!
likewise … but rather that than grey britain
had a lovely fall of snow in central england today. beautiful. almost makes me forget I have a 1% chance of being murdered by the NHS
why the surprise that cheap frozen meals and burgers contain filth? of course they do, the people love them like they love Labour
Good luck to all 12 of the demonstrators
How come some have still got their PJs on?
Bill, they aren’t PJ’s up here in t’ north we call em ‘Seven day Shitters’
Today i am supporting Wales,and hope they strangle Le Cockerel,.
Come on Taffy,stick it up the French,please….
Being Welsh I can reveal to you that losing eight games in a row was all part of a cunning plan. God please,please let it be part of a cunning plan
and hopefully the cunning plan extends to the next 100 games
Headline: ‘WATCH: Huhne’s Downfall In His Own Word’ still making me chuckle.
It kept us all guessing though…
but we still ended up thinking the same thing
Hello 8illy
It’s 10 years since hundreds of thousands people protested in London against Iraq war. Why was it wrong to invade?
This from someone who is trying to start debate questioning the rights and wrongs of !raq:
I think a field trip is required before he does something much more stupid.
What a fucking mong this piece of navel lint is.
a complete c’unt
It gets interesting looking down his TWITter feed though.
Other than asking if people have jobs which involve pulling the wings of pigeons (WTF ?) and confusing people who have bought his book about what the nature of class struggle is, he was all excited about this:
http://www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=6192
(Need to find out if any transcripts etc., likely worth ignoring though)
Jones of course seems to oppose !raq for no clear reason other than populism.
Am wondering if the debate though touched on the link with Rwanda.
This have recently come across myself. Nothing sinister, but rather to frame part of the political motivation of Blair.
The genocide in Rwanda could have been prevented by the west, and Blair had knowledge of this. A credible thesis is that he did feel some real guilt over that missed opportunity which forged a belief that intervention was morally correct in some circumstances. !raq was a misguided litmus test for this belief.
I suspect the debate did not get down to that level of reasoning.
Different Class featuring that track came out in 1995. The year 2000 was only five years away Owen, you thick twat.
An 11 year old should have been able to work that out, but you were probably too busy sat around the kitchen table with public sector employed Mummy and Daddy, all talking about how great socialism is – if you ignore the inevitable mass shortages, starvation and slaughter bits.
‘sitting’ not ‘sat’. Ungrammatical prat.
Annoying little spaz isn’t he?
Owen Jones, that’s it, I’ve had it with you, you are sacked. Yet again you have not turned up to do your paper round. What about the customers, what about your responsibility to them. Your customers are hard working individuals, not ungrateful little shits like you. Trouble is Owen, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and have never had to try to get a proper job.
Owen you are a disgrace.
I hate you, real labour should be rewarded by real reward, with responsibilities come rights, I have the right to withdraw my labour for the socialist good of all.
I would remind you that the fetishism of commodities has its origin in the social character that produced it….or so my dad says.
Besides I only wanted to deliver the guardian and mirrors, the rest are all neo-capitalist propaganda and have no place in the forthcoming class struggle/utopia
Don’t you talk to my Owen like that. You Punjabbi, Hinndi, Gujuratti immigrants need to know that young socialist intellectuals do not work, they merely sponge off those that do.
Owen says you ought to give up running the shop and go on bennies. He can advise you to make sure you get all your rights.
Owen, have you cleaned your room yet ?
Yes Mum, just need to put the magazines and kleenex away
Sorry dear, I didn’t catch that. Don’t forget that the dishwasher needs emptying.
Mummy, what does “Oedipus Complex” mean?
A man is on the whole better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.
Bigot!
I can think of a very attractive Greek lady whom I could easily eat my dinner off before having her upon my table.
Nanna Mouskouri?
Demis Roussos?
Chris Huhne didn’t think so
Ah Frankie! You will never get a chance at a spitroast on this one. I know you are a mate but there are some things I won’t share!
“A woman preaching is like a dog walking upon its hind legs– not so much done well, as that it is done at all, is the wonder.”
Yeah right, Dr Johnson. Fuck you very much for sharing that.
Tony told meI consider it my remit tosodomisemodernise the UK regardless of thefuctfact that I manifestly omitted to ask theplebsvoters to endorse this policy.Next, it’s time to shake up the fuddy-duddy world of popular music. Let’s see, who have we got ?
The Moody Blues ….. that describes trendy Tories quite well, particularly if it’s that time of the month – but their back catalogue will have to be re-titled :

“The Actor” sums him up pretty well.
“The Cun*t” sums him up better.
Today I will be mostly playing The Circulation Waltz by Seamus Flynn.
Good for you.
Oi Rustbucket! How about playing Chopin’s Minute Waltz, and trying to get it the hell over with in record time?
See that Judge Briscoe’s name has emerged this morning in relation to the Hoon / Pryze case, according to the Independent.
Somebody here will be pleased.
This saga is starting to resemble the plot of ‘The First Wives Club’ film.
On the Oscar front have got Pryze down for best actress, but now with Brisco entering stage right, Oakeshutt has competition for best supporting actress.

The UK government is criminally insane.
I bet it will be found to be better and tighter run than any government has in a century.
Yep. We’ve run it so well that the Debt is doubling to £1.4 trillion during this one Parliament.
Aren’t I impressive?
Toodle Pippa
‘Fraid you tell less than half of the story here.
There was that little matter of the 13 years of Labour mismanagement which spent all we had in the piggy bank and the Bank of England’s gold vaults. They cynically got things to a state where there is no conventional path to recovery. A total default is the only path out.
Dave is not doing very well and now has succeeded in alienating me from a party I have supported all my life. Part of that is down to the coalition but a lot of it is due to mistaken modernisation which he has elevated to a godhead.
likewise crmm… the only saving grace of it is that at least labour are out of office but coalition has not served the tory cause well and has effectively diluted the tory’s ability to make radical progress.
Agree. The expression could be simplified thus:
All politics ends in failure.
“A total default is the only path out”
Well, you’re a right bundle of laughs this morning!
I agree with your comments – interestingly (or not), after asking around I’ve found that of my whole extended family (Conservative voters, apart from my idiot sister who voted LibDem in 2010) not one will be voting Conservative at the next election. To our knowledge, this if the first time that will happen since 1952.

(2nd attempt to post this highly controversial comment).
you are right that long time tory voters are turning away from the fold but quite where they are going to vote when it comes to the ballot box is debateable…ukip is the popular conjection but 2 years is a long time and whilst the attraction of farage’s rhetoric is obvious the practical realities of his ‘out of the eu’ mantra thusfar explained in only the most simplistic terms.
@Alastair Campbell Murderer and your alter ego!
It is the feeling of helplessness which makes me so happy.
Don’t you toodle me, you creep. I’m a Boris supporter.
Morning sir , still not sombrero weather i trust ?
On the story of MP’s investigating the Queens expenses ,
we already know the lunatics are running the asylum , so kettle calling pot black will suffice
Maybe if we had someone totally independent looking at MP’s expenses , who does not tip them off on their fraudulent claims so they can alter them , then this would be a non story
Good morning to you too, sir! I fear that the centre part of the sombrero would not need to protrude too far just now.
To my mind, the MPs have no basis of evaluation to evaluate a cost/evaluation of the monarchy.
Hell most of them don’t even know what they are for other than self-aggrandisement and filling their ever bulging pockets.
I shall lamp the next person who pleads that they work hard. As if the rest of us who are paying for their Brian Rix-type farce don’t!
Good mornіng to you too, sіr! І fеаr thаt thе сеntrе pаrt of thе sombrеro would not nееd to protrudе too fаr just now.
To my mіnd, thе MPs hаvе no bаsіs of еvаluаtіon to еvаluаtе а сost/еvаluаtіon of thе monаrсhy.

There is an interesting story here.

Fillip and one have discussed Ms.Oppenheimer over the cornflakes this morning.
He has considerable doubts concerning her immigrant status and effnic background. In fact he used some adjectives which one understands are of Anglo Saxon origin.
However, as the woman is one of one’s Privy Councillors, one couldn’t possibly comment oneself.
So long as it was not Frosties. Cornflakes are Ok, you can live.
Hey Andy, whose orders were you following?

However sick i am,i do not have enough confidence in the NHS,and to me,it
shows that high education has been a force for mass negligence.Surely the
educated elites ,doctors,consultants and nurses,have enough education to know
what is wrong,so why did they put up with the abysmal standards they must have seen around them…???
I would rather die at home than let current NHS staff fiddle about…It really is a tragedy and shows that money and education are not the answer

The rest of my extended family are deciding what to pack for their one-way trip to the UK, next January.
I think we’ll choose Staffordshire – we can join our nursing relatives working in the hospitals there.
“All elderly patients are animal and we hate them”, shall be our motto.
All the girls will need is a couple of thongs. I can fit them up with anything else thet desire when they get here.
Vote Labour.
yournhs.com links to Labour – what a surprise.
Nothing on changing the culture to put patient care first – just project the jobsworths.
NHS: Putting out the out patients.
“I would rather die at home than let current NHS staff fiddle about”
I reached exactly the same conclusion a couple of weeks ago. I developed the most obvious symptom of prostate cancer, and faced with the two options: ignore it and possibly die at home, or go into an NHS deathcamp and have their cack-handed indifferent personnel tunnel around inside me in a Josef Mengele-style hit-or-miss attempt at curing me (my father was recently in hospital, so I’ve got up-to-date knowledge of what those deathcamps are like), I chose the sensible option; ignore it.
Don’t be stupid. Get treatment.
Going private costs about £5000 for a TURP.
Well worth it if you don’t rate the NHS; in and out inside one day.
Morning all.
Anybody know what happened to the 2,000,000 Sun readers who were supposed to come flocking to this site last week following the enrolment of our host at their HQ?
Maybe slow learners and will turn up next week instead.
You say ‘readers’: Are you sure about that ?
Most likely their ChavNavs are on the blink.
Nobody up our way reads it anyway.
I think guido modelling for order-order’s page three did it
He also took up pages two and four.
Yet again I have been asked by the whips not to say “the Je/ws”.
I replaced this with “Dachau fuel,” but I was told this was somehow ‘offensive.’
So I will change this term to “The undesirables.”
I hope this is less discourteous to all concerned.
A non PC Libdem. Whatever next? I think I’ll leave UKIP and join Nickelarse’s Boys’ Brigade instead.

A longstanding Liberal Democrat MP is being sued for allegedly sexually assaulting and exploiting a vulnerable constituent who has a mental illness.
Mike Hancock, the MP for Portsmouth South, has been accused of forming an inappropriate relationship with the woman over a 10-month period after she approached him for help with noisy neighbours.
The MP placed his hand on her breast, exposed himself and kissed her on many occasions without consent, it is alleged in high court papers. His actions amount to sexual assault, harassment and misfeasance in public office, the papers claim.
this story was around a couple of years ago
Regrettably, Handycock has been around much longer than that and has still not been banged up. Smacks of a corrupt establishment looking after it’s own. Smells fishy to me.
At least he’s not one of Dave’s Gays.
So too was the Huhne story around years ago. This time Handycock won’t get off so easily. We all know now that ‘strenuous denial’ by a Liberal Democrat MP means little more than ‘so far so good’.
I see it is all unravelling at the BBC. On Thursday their HR Director says this
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2013/feb/07/bbc-sexual-harassment-bullying-whistleblowing
and on Friday we see this

What is going on!!!
Mind your own business. Just keep giving us the compulsory subscriptions.
Could this be real reform, or a move to oust the last of the non common purpose infidels who infest the managerial echelons of the Beeb ?
Support of whistle blowing is old school b/s.
This article from 1997 is both disturbing and enlightening:

It seems that to get away with this stuff you just need to wait until it has slipped from public consciousness, distract with next story and then back to business as usual,
Sounds about right.
breaking news
sky report this morning that Findus received a letter from their meal manufacturer as far back as August last year warning them that their meals may contain horse meat from Romania , looks like they were happy to turn a blind eye until independent testing rumbled them
Is blindness another side effect caused by eating dodgy Romanian dobbins ?
no just blinkered vision
lol. Thank god it isn’t cats eyes, just yet.
Here’s an old story with a happy ending of an English race horse
http://www.equinerescuefrance.org/2010/06/uk-racehorses-being-shipped-to-french-meat-yards/
Findus have asked that all the customers who have purchased any items that contain horsemeat return them to the stables at all findus stores
Fishfingers and cod pieces are next in line for a recall after traces of seahorse were found.
There’s no seahorse in my codpiece, but they might have been the crunchy bits in last nights scampi.
Why have the boards of directors of Tescos , Findus, ALDI, the Co-op, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Oakhurst and uncle Tom Cobbly and all, (probably an idea to include the the suspiciously inert staff of the FSA too) not all been rounded up in dawn raids yet? There has been a gigantic fraud perpetrated on the public all along the supply chain. These people need their collars felt and all the documents, telelphpne and computer records seized before they are shredded.
Why has the Millimonkey not called for “immediate judge led inquiry” Maybe his Dr. has warned him to be more careful jumping on all these bandwagons, RSI is painful.
Maybe he has shares in some of these companies? How should we know? He never answers a question we put to him.
Doesn’t a certain Sainsbury have form concerning Liebour Party donations?
Time to claim on the insurance policy?
Those who signed a Treaty allowing free movement of goods within the EU should be rounded up.
Free movement of meat means fuck all checks of the labelling appears in order
Free movement of people means easier trafficking of children.
Even more important we get out of the EUSSR, where are all the dawn raids by plod on these companies, makes you wonder if this was all stirred up by the veggy brigade to stop people eating meat, after all every nut case and nutty group have had their hands in banning this that and the other and light bulbs or putting taxes on products they don’t want you to buy because it might be unsafe for you.
U do spout some cobblers
Let me reassure you somewhat.
I was tken by ambulance over the Chrismas break with internal bleeding.
Whilst I passed in and out of consciousness I was aware of the professional way with which I was being handled. Yes A & E were busy, I had to wait for an emergency bed and subsequently a ward bed. Throughout my 4 day stay I was well enough to observe the ‘service’ I and other men of advanced years were receiving ( some had dementia ). I was first class. The nurses were on the go 24/7 and the security and protocol involved with dispensing drugs was excellent.
The catering was adequate: had it been better I would have argued that the money would have been better spent elsewhere.
I counted the number of staff involved in my visit and treatment. Over %0. All were pleasant and professional.
I do have regular occasion to visit hospitals to accompany relatives to treatment and communication could be much better and some ancillary workers are grossly under-employed.
So it’s not the well educated nurses and doctors who are failing the patients, rather the well educated so called Managers who need to sort themselves out.
One final tip. It is a 24 hour service and so there is allot of activity and noise throughout the night. Boots sell ear plugs which resemble blu-tac.
Reply to 19.
%0 should be 50
Glad you’re feeling better ‘Relax’.
If there is one thing the NHS is good at it is A&E. Other bits should go to a private insurance based model, as per other far more effective health care systems.
No one ‘envies’ the NHS, in the first world at least. An American friend was literally in terror she would need to go to an NHS hospital if she fell ill over here.

Its a shame that Twitter exists as otherwise having your jaw wired shut would kill two birds with one stone – Loose you some weight, and shut you the fuck up.
Alas

Only a fool can pass of the EU budget cut as a success when infact the UK are going to pay more.
What clowns do we have representing us. It’s not about the total sum, it’s about what we pay. AND THAT’S GONE UP.
The clown should have restored our rebate.
I tried my best I really did. I wore my best rotating bow tie and squirted everyone with my flower spray.
He wears that in bed when he wants his naughties
What clowns do we have representing us? The crop of MP’s we have to represent us in the last fifteen years has been the scrappings of the barrell, there must be a way for the local electorate to select who is to stand, rather than have the parties impose the clowns upon us.
He’s a complete novice. I would have put it up 200%.
Spending! Spending! Spending!
I put an extra £64 billion pounds a YEAR into the NHS. Envy of the world!
the rebate was given away by blair et al and not realistically recoverable…as a proprtion of gdp the payments are technically reduced
The thing to do is simply pay for the projects where money comes back to the Uk and not pay for the rest. When someone in Brussels questions it, simply lie like the Greeks and say we paid already. The accounts are a shambles haven’t been audited properly for years. Who are the EU to question our version?
We do still have a rebate Blair only gave away some of it , What Fuckwit Dave did was give away some more
quite right we still have some rebate but how has he given away more ?
He surrendered another 500 million over the next 7 years but has not increased our contributions
In Dave’s head that is a great deal for the British taxpayer
With his and George’s way of thinking , it’s no wonder the deficit has doubled , we are in Triple dip recession and the country is totally fucked
flip flop … yeah right
The country has been “fucked” a few times in its glorious history,but the
world keeps spinning,and the sun comes up,and to my mind its about “we” humans to adapt to whatever is thrown at us…This, i feel,was easier during
WW2,as we were all in it together and had to adapt to the conditions brought about by War…
Will todays population adapt in a similar way,or has diversity gone too far..
Re-marriage,i am not religious or bigotted,but the word “Marriage” is a union between a man and a woman,and no amount of law making will alter what marriage is to me..So thought police, Fuck off..

You are confusing the NHS with its patients.
I’m very confused by the NHS.

Daily Telegraph leader: “UK broke + recovery not in sight. Facts have changed, so must measures adopted by govt” http://tinyurl.com/akke3cs
What do you expect from the poor man? Gideon’s previous includes being a Conservative party researcher, folding towels at Selfridges and attending a few Bilderberg meetings. Not sure which one of those most qualifies him to be Chancellor but what private sector jobs paying over £130k can you screw up for 3 years and still remain in the position….
Social security would be rising now that Labour’s NHS based liability reduction process – aka: Killing otherwise healthy pensioners – has ceased.
This is our calling, that we shall become the templars of this Grail, gird the sword round our loins for its sake and stake our lives joyfully in the last, holy war which will be followed by the thousand-year reign of freedom.

I think it was…..no,no,..erm,..Oh yes,,of course, it was, “Tony Blair”,,

Just stripped the pute keyboard down to component parts and gave the lot a good and thorough dhobi.
Talk about plague material. It never occurred to me before what serious health hazards keyboards are. Underneath those keys are years of fluff, skin flakes, spit, snot, food, drinks and more. No amount of cleaning can remove this biological debris from an intact keyboard, it has to be stripped down.
They must be health hazard number one in a surgery/hospital. I sneeze, you type, you shake patient’s hand.
They should get Sinclair ZX81s – the keyboard was flat and wipe-clean.
The geniuses at NHS procurement should be able to negotiate the price up to about £10’000 per unit.

Anyone know who owns the ‘Independent’ these days? Anyone? No?
When I saw that Mark Carney character in front of that Select Committee explaining that his high salary was justified because of house price differentials between Canada and UK I carried out my own research and discovered :
1. Average Canadian house price is 351,792 dollars
2. Exchange rate is 63.13
3. The average UK house price is £170K against an average Canadian price of £220 K
My conclusions are :
1. Anyone coming from Canada to UK is probably cashing in on a tidy profit which does not tally with his evidence.
2. Dont trust anyone approaching you wearing a suit with an expensive looking haircut.
Personally I would like to see his appointment cancelled . I fear it is going to end in tears. I am going short sterling because I simply do not trust the guy although I am willing to bet when he is ready to go home the sterling exchange rate will be less than 55p .
Yvonne, what you have to remember here is Osborne, who has no financial or economic qualifications whatsoever selected this man. I don’t see what you are worried about!
It’s Bullshit.
Wiki says:
They have four daughters and live in the Rockcliffe Park neighbourhood of Ottawa
Rockcliffe Park is one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Ottawa, Ontario, and is one of the most prosperous enclaves in Canada
Just Check out:
http://www.rockcliffepark.com/rp/index.asp
I don’t suppose the British press (or Guido) had the initiative to spend just 30 secs on Google checking out the real facts.
I have had a butchers at an estate agents site from this Rockcliffe place
The cheapest property he has costs 800K and the most expensive is over 6 million !
How many more times !!
Carney is a Goldbergsocks stooge. Watch him like a hawk as nothing good will come of this appt. Just watch the exchange rate plummet about 2 weeks into his tenure.
You have been warned.
Agreed.
Carny is a crook.
Oh: Canada has a serious housing bubble problem propped up by commodity exports which has not yet burst. Perhaps after he has been sent back, that can be popped.
Helping the Americans with oil shale fracking and making the export route to Ch!na hazardous would help with that, and help restore some global security.
NB: Canada has recently been supporting international terrorism, in particular the recent Alger!a situation and destabilization of Pak!stan.
P@kstan is unstable.
Thanks to al-Qadri yes.
Read up before making a mong of yourself.
P@kstan has never been stable.
It was reasonably so up until very recently, until the Canadian’s decided to try their hand at enlightened geopolitics.
Canada can’t even get things straight with it’s own indigenous.
Obviously, thanks to the actions of Canada, UK security threat to London has gone up a bit. Perhaps these additional costs should be deducted from Carny’s pay packet.
Chillax. I have a cunning plan for that. Trust me.
I think your Lidl horse meat ready meals have damaged your brain.
Luckily they come with a tinfoil top, so you can wrap it around your head and convince yourself the thought police can’t read your deranged synapse sparkings.
Public domain am afraid, from verified sources. Google is your friend.
Never shopped at Lidl or eaten the products reportedly affected.
The P@kistan issue is most serious though. Since their successful bomb test back in the 90s there has been a concerted effort to keep the place together.
The recent al-Qadri interference which was apparently supported by the Canadian government (they themselves have an interested in filling the arms supply role recently vacated by the US) is not to be ignored. The Canadian press actually distorted the story behind al-Qadri’s citizenship etc.
Check through the reputable industry sources and you’ll get the idea.

I went into my local supermarché this morning .

What do I do? I have an Aldi spotted dick frozen pudding in my freezer. Could they have suddenly become honest about food labelling?
use it as a suppository numpty
Had a letter thingy telling me what a great organisation the NHS is and all my details were going onto their national database and this was great news for me as their staff could read my medical notes in Shetland.
Hidden away near the back was a bit of small print (obviously NHS patients do not need reading glasses) telling me how to opt out. So I did opt out and months later they have not confirm that I have been opted out.
Of course the next step will to make my medical notes go Euro wide so that I can be treated in Bucharest
ALDI has 38 directors. The highest paid director’s salary: £568,000.00
But none of these 38 people ever had a clue that they were selling horse meat sold to them by, among other people the Swedish company Findus. Presumably, they were only following orders.
£568,000.00
What a SHITTY SALARY.

Don’t know about the difference but Corned is a Yank slang for having a pork sword shoved up your butt
The correct terminology is “corn-holed.” It is a reference to the fact that maize kernels are often excreted whole, having passed through the alimentary canal undigested, hence the anus is the “corn-hole.” More information than you probably needed or wanted to know.

Patricia Hewitt, Alan Johnson and Andy Burnham are all guilty of negligent homicide and should be in prison, along with Blair and Brown, under whose governments the Stafford mass murders took place. And former Tankie, David Nicholson, deserves to die of cancer. The former communist party member who openly admired Soviets whilst a student, now lives a lavish lifestyle on taxpayer funded expenses, and he fast tracked his young wife – 22yr age gap – into a senior position on 155k a year despite the health care commission condemning Birmingham Children’s Hospital while she was chief executive. She was originally seconded to his office, and the slimy, fugly goblin took a fancy to her. She was suddenly promoted and they got married. Basically whoring herself out for a top job in return for letting him stick his shrivelled old cock up her.

Pardon me for asking but what is wrong with horse meat compared to bovine meat?
Labeling to start with: People were buying horse labelled as beef.
Secondly, horse meat is dodgy as some of the drugs used in horses to treat certain conditions are carcinogenic in humans and should not be in our food chain.
Because the source of the horse is not clear, there is a high risk that the meat is unfit for human consumption in addition to it being mislabeled.
Note also that price of horse is much less than beef, but that cost difference was not passed on either.
Do some digging for further moral, ethical, medical and legal objections.
I gather that there has been bafflement in high places over the very large increase in the inter country transport of low value horse carcasses which has taken place over the last few years. People have been unable to work out how the transport costs of all the movements have been covered by the firms doing it. I think we all know now.
If it is bought as horse meat on the continent, nothing at all. If it is masquerading as something else here in Britain and exposing a total lack of cedibility in the control and inspection in the food chain, quite a lot. It is no longer a tasty meal for the Belgians, and has become something else altogether, called ‘evidence’.

The EU law of mindless bureaucrats.
I did a report some years ago for HBO, in which I showed how platers who never should have been anywhere near a race track, and who are costing their breeders/owners way too much money, are disposed of by sale to slaughterhouses, the meat often arriving in France within 24 hours of the horses’ death. (It is not just feral horses from the Western deserts, as in the film The Misfits, which get slaughtered, and they’re not all turned into dog food, as is commonly supposed.) Of course, this is the kind of apolitical story I get to do, for a cable network, as I am way too vocal a media critic of the Leftist slant in American network newscasting to be allowed to work in over-the-air Broadcast media on any story which goes against the “Narrative.”

So let me get this straight.
The EU spent quite a lot of our money setting directives saying that English sausages cannot be labelled as sausages, and tried to determine how bendy banana’s should be.
But: They are fine to sell us horse labelled as beef ?
Something isn’t right here, and it is not just the Findus crispy pancakes.
Vote UKIP.
Europe’s uncivil servants at it’s best, just as inept as Britain’s uncivil servants, all run by politician’s who are just as bright as the dimmest candle, go help us all or we need a lot of luck to get out of this comedy of errors.
Just like they banned the Scillonians from slaughtering their own beef. No this was not acceptable to the EU, the animals have to show their passport and travel by ship to Penzance, from there they are trucked to their slaughter, their carcasses trucked back to Penzance then shipped back out to St Mary’s complete with all relevant paperwork.
Meanwhile on the European mainland any old horse will do.
Why isn’t Dave attacking the fuckers about this?
Or was it our overly EU compliant Civil servants that allowed the situation to arise? Because there is only one organisation in the UK who will benefit from all this Scillonian red tape.
EU stopped me working. Shipping those cheap blokes over from the east.
There never was a bendy banana directive. It is in fact a lie made up by wanker tabloid “Journalists” for the consumption of thick mongs, like much of the other alleged daft EU legislation, like hair nets on fishing boats etc..

Eastleigh is all about losing the least credibility, not winning the seat.
And in saying that you might as well be describing the whole of the body politic.
Still a bit of time to go to GE, unless Dave or Clegg do the honorable thing, but the timing of this election and circumstances are highly unique. The behavior of the LibLabCon at present is similar to a certain Olympic badminton match.
UKIP have the most to gain. They will hopefully use this opportunity to dispel the one-an-band myth.

Delete highly. It is otiose.
Otherwise agree.
Highly is OK with me. In the meaning of ‘very smelly’, ‘gone off’, ‘well past its use-by date’, ‘ rotten and maggotty’.
Ah! That’s OK.
And a uniquorn is one of them tasty things wiv an ‘orn in its ‘ead?
Thank you for correcting. Could claim it to be a deliberate grammatical jab in context, but it was a mistake. Was high on Huhne’s fumes there.
Farage is excellent at grabbing the moment. That article is typical evidence of this. I wonder, if he did manage to get say 40 MPs, and could hold the balance of power, how he would practically have to adapt to deal with that situation?
Hypothetical of course…
The danger of a UKIP win in Eastleigh is both for Cons and UKIP.
If UKIP won, with a single seat they would be easy target of ridicule getting the Galloway treatment.
It is not clear if Eastleigh UKIP win would be enough to attract a decent number of defections from the Tories. They would need at least 10 to have a safe presence in the HoC.
However, a win may be just what is needed to open the floodgates from the Tories.
Before considering balance of power in HoC, UKIP do need to get the internal party balance of power sorted out. They have made a huge amount of progress with this, but there are likely a few live grenades left in the box just at the moment.
Other than lack of seats, that is probably the single issue preventing defections at present. If UKIP demonstrate that issue is under control in Eastleigh, an apparent loss could be a much big win for them.
There is the problem that the way politics have been done of late, that voters get turned off and just do not bother. That leaves a hardcore of people who are difficult to shift and the floaters which rise as a percentage of the turnout. The last boilings are thus highly volatile when considered as a whole. I have a gut feeling that the psephologists are going to have to rely much less on historical inputs.
Apart from my poor English in the last post (I should proof read more closely), I meant to add that the defections may not be just from the Tories.
All three parties have provided very good reasons for MPs who may have concerns about the EU and their own future in politics to leave. The first 10 or so defections may well be a mix of Lib, Lab and Con MPs not changing the overall status quo of the coalition.
If UKIP’s credibility and apparent support continues on its current path we may yet see them absorb the saner chunk of the Lib Dems and convincingly split the Tories as we get closer to the GE.
Any hint of an early GE being called would indicate that such a strategy is credibly in play. A real Tory leadership challenge or Lib Dem breaking of the coalition before the end of the year is highly probable.
The German federal election this September is the temporal reference point to keep an eye on.
Westminster will be positioned to handle either outcome there, which one suspects is the main reason why UKIP are being brought in from the cold.
I think that Merkel is astute enough to have clocked the rise in UKIP in England. Maybe that is why she supported Dave last week. If I am correct in this, she will be appealing to an increasingly large number of Germans who are recognising and vocalising about the vast areas of insanity which occur within the EU. In many ways, this could be more significant than the rather dubious Third Way of Blair and Giddens.
Which brings me to another issue discussed before. There is no textbook for the Libertarian approach. OK, nobody really read the Third Way apart from a few geeks. But it was there and a wide circle of people knew it and simply accepted that there was an apparently rigorous underpinning to the concept. Someone is going to have to do this for Libertarianism for it to be taken more seriously to the extent it becomes a significant parliamentary force. Perceived justification maybe, but necessary IMO.
The Lower Saxony results the other week, and departure of Education minister today have counted against her. But are not fatal, just weakening.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/21/german-regional-elections-analysis
The German people really only care about 2 things. i) Inflation and economic stability, and ii) Immigration. They care about immigration rationally, as reported, but inflation is still perceived a bit irrationally. To be fair though, unfunded liabilities the Euro is landing them with is making this a rational concern which is getting public attention now.
Merkels agreement with Cameron was just a compromise based on reality. The deal is not done yet, but I think she is aware as Cameron is that there is a bad element at the center of the EU project and things are not moving in the right direction. Personally I believe if anyone reverts back to trade member status and exits the Euro it will be Germany first.
To your point on psephologists : Agree. (I missed your post before putting the other in – was not ignoring). UK electorate needs to wake up. That is happening now.
Libertarianism and approach certainly does need to be codified. Following the guide book approach of ‘the third way’ strategy sounds like a very good approach. The time is approaching now where people in the UK will need to have the difference between liberalism and libertarianism explained.
He looks a bit hoarse.
He looks like something you might find in a burger.
The Conservatives have announced their candidate for the Eastleigh by-election will be Minnie Bannister, who finished tenth behind Chris Huhne in the 2010 general election.
Party chairman Grant Shapps described Minnie Bannister as someone “people in Eastleigh can’t trust as far as they can throw her,and certifiably insane”
Who is this Grant chappy?
Want to borrow some of my medicine ?
They keep banging on about how the findus lasagne contained 100% horse
If it contained 100% horse there would be no fuckin pasta , cheese , tomato or the shit load of E numbers to preserve it
My experience of processed meals is you would be dam lucky to find any fuckin meat in there at all
as a foot note this could all be part of the EU master plan of integration weening us onto it slowly , as nearly all EU countries eat it anyway
The way that all our beef , chicken etc suddenly became Halal
Well, you have missed out the plastic tray, the peel-away film and the cardboard box, lol! Maybe they meant the meat content, you are talking about the dead nag press!
I wonder how a supermarket would react to a Frenchman asking if they sold a 100% horse meat pasta?
Your insights are important statements of the blindingly obvious: No disrespect intended by that.
People are not noticing the other blindingly obvious issue: Inflation.
And perhaps preparing the food chain for a flood of hungry mouths from Romania and Bulgaria ?
The main owner of the Schwarz Group, which owns Lidl, is Dieter Schwarz, who controls the company through the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung . The Dieter Schwarz Stiftung owns 99.9 percent of the Schwarz Beteiligungs GmbH.
In Germany, the greedy bastard who has been selling us horsemeat likes to pretend he is mysterious and interesting. Healines say stuff like “Kaum jemand kennt den Lidl-Chef”, but actually we know who he is. He’s a greedy git who started business in the 1930s and did quite well under Hitler. He’s been at it ever since expanding his empire under the auspices of the EU.
Even if he started quite young, he must be getting on for 120 by now.
Remarkable.
You are right. Josef begat Dieter. Josef was the founder. Dieter was born on 24 September 1939.
The very month that WWII started (on the 1st).
Maybe he is trying to get his own back on us for causing their defeat?
He’s just doing what comes naturally. Making as much money as he can without giving a shit for anyone else.
thats increasingly the norm across the board not just a german preserve
No matter whose preserve, it must not be contained in recycled jars.

The Tories & Lib Dems are insulting the intelligence of Eastleigh voters by fielding to separate candidates. 1 Con-Dem candidate is enough.
Get in there Labour .
NHS
You just can’t trust the Tories with the NHS (Or anything else for that matter)
Hear, hear !
BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!
I am offering my services to the FibDems in the Eastleigh by-election.
With all my previous experience I can help get you get your points across.
Even one LibLabCon candidate is one too many.
New voting policy being introduced into Parliament .. the Nods for Yes and the NAAAAAYS for No … it’s a request from Tesco

I see the Chinese are about to start their year of the Snake. Whom do we currently think most deserves this title in the UK?
Guido Fawkes
I was born in the year of the Dragon which is supposed to be the most auspicious in the Chinese calendar, so much for horoscopes.
According to the EU it is year of the horse:

Square box. Round pizza. Triangle slices. I’m Confused.
Channel4 News is trying hard to be more left-wing than us. We will win.
We can confirm that the rumors of crocodile DNA being found in HoC canteen food are a false positive.
Ann Clwyd has come forward admitting she was a bit weepy after passing the onions on the salad bar when discussing the NHS killings with Andy Burnham.
Can the NHS now be considered Labour’s stalking horse ?
I have a tin of Tesco Extra Value Corned Beef in the cupboard.
Says its beef from Brazil.
Reckon its horse?
Reckon its from Brazil?
wonder if is from Argentina ?
I will initiate a full, over-arching judge-led Stewards Enquiry.
Ed will be demanding a full, over-arching, in-depth, independent and judge-led Stewards Enquiry.
I’ve just thrown away a tin of Tesco Chilli con Carne. On the back it says ‘beef from the republic of Ireland’. I’ve kept a tin from M&S which says ‘British Beef’.
The tin probably contains that one I backed at Wincanton, fell at the first fence and was transported away in a horse ambulance.
I’m working on a new snack food called “clippity clop”
are you sure it doesn’t bark ?
maybe insects would make better burgers, unless it is purely a disposal issue ? corpses can be a real inconvenience.
Don’t be silly, they save the insects to make fish fingers.
gosh! those dna splicers are doing some scary stuff
Following recent directive, please note that receptacles described as ‘doggy bags’ from now on shall be described as ‘nose bags’.
3rd June 2013: Vietnam commences accession talks with the EU.
I think you will find DPRK are first up.
They are more tuned for political Union, Vietnam way too radical at the moment.
You are quite right. DPRK are also oven-ready for joining Euro too. I had forgotten that.
I am a Hobbit.
Are Hobbits halal?
i’m helm’s deep in mangalarga.
That is why you are guest of honour ( freak-show we’ll teather to a tree ) at Elton’s Wedding. As you know we’re all going to celebrate Vince’s successful convincing of Cameron to appear progressive (and more than a bit gay) This means we’ll have at least 60 MPs due to UKIP swelling support and more liberal champagne all round.
To be honest I’m still struggling to decide who to select for the shoo-in win to Solihull, Newton Abbott and Truro where some tories will leave for UKIP – we’ve just lost Daniel Radcliffe whose just grown a few more pubes so says he’s leaving but I’m sure we can find someone still of his sort.

Did you know that 100 of the 307 tory seats have Labour on a percentage less than 15% but LDs on more than 25% So the LDs have every reason to lie to Cameron that he’d be seen as a progressive.
