Lots of Guido gossip in The Sun column today:
Clegg’s isolation, big Tory donations, coppers and cappuccinos, Twitter abused MPs, cruel nicknames for SpAds, Boris pranking Clegg,Vicky Pryce’s men and more.
Worth the 50p alone…

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.
Can I have a refund as I bought the Star?
We don’t read the Sun up our way.
Didn’t your moniker use to be 98%?
What’s happening loosing the battle?
We’re all losing the battle, the Country is swamped with the scum and we’re even putting them up in 4 * hotels in London.
Well yes, but Liverpool is one of the last citadels that hasn’t fallen (much) as yet.
It’s government policy to distribute these people all over the country.
According to the DM today Chipping Norton has approved it’s first m*osque!
Bet Mr Cameron daren’t say anything about that. Ha ha ha.
They’re certainly being distributed all over the place – they’re starting to appear where I live; up until a year ago we were mercifully spared the influx. Now, the burqas are appearing.
One guy sells the Big Issue outside Boots. Who the f*ck let him in the country?
Border Control: “And what skills can you bring to the UK, Mr Foreigner?”
Foreigner: “I can be sayings ‘Big Issue! Big Issue!”
Border Control: “Excellent! We need lots of people with that skill. Come right in! Here, have a council house, have lots of benefit money, make yourself at home!”
It is the redistribution of the Scousers and the Scots that irritates me. Every tube station and bus station in London seems to have a small community. If it is as good back home as they constantly say, why are they in London.
I recently posted the leak re the number of Rumanians/Bulgarians the Govt forecasters expected but wanted to keep secret – 5 million.

I worked in London for a few years in the 1960′s at PO Overseas Telegraphs as a teleprinter operator and then at Reuters. My “Fleet St days” I call it. If you had mentioned Londistan or the Beacon of I*slam no-one would have had a clue what you meant.
I lodged in Croydon. Ah Croydon, a lovely place with it great stores – Kennards, Grants and Allders and it’s beautiful Coombe Park.
Now it’s a multi-cultural hell-hole I’m told. Strange, it still looked OK when I was last there ten years ago for a funeral. Just goes to show how much anywhere can change and in a very short time.
I suspect that its downfall can be traced back to the days when a scouser was allowed to live there in the 60′s!
If the people spoke RP, one would not know from which dump they originated.
Grow up idiot
Fall back and barricade, only way. 5 British families I know have just pulled back to their old village (pooled resources to get a big enough place) we’ve helped them with the local security side of things (ex. forces are in strength round here) the local plod have f_cked off to wait for their pensions so you have to do your own policing. The Easter EU scum are simply every where and if running drugs and stolen cars are the way the elite measure the productivity of this lot then they are f_cking gang busters! We had to take sort out the drugs and the nicking the the village ourselves. So that’s the way it will be.
That bunch of shits in HOC should come and live round here and the explain what exactly was the idea in letting this lot in?
You could remove the words “the Sun” and the post would still be factually correct.
Yes of course.

Went to the newsagents. ‘Have you got the Sun, I want to read Guido?’ ‘Sorry mate, sold out’ he replied. ‘We know that but have you got a copy?’
ha ha. Never been cracked before.

I say you jolly chaps!!! Any chance we can get wind farms to vote for me somehow? . . we need every vote we can get . . . perhaps if we counted how often they spin . . ? . . . ah . . spin . . . that’s the answer!!!
What? Wattage? . . hectarage of wind farms? . . . . . despoliation of the countryside . . ?
Surely you should be complaining to Liebour about wind-farms most were build in their dictatorship, they brought out the useless and expensive green laws to enable them to waste even more tax money up the wall.
We have loads of these wind things out in Liverpool Bay and to be honest I’ve got used to them. A bit like those electricity pylons that they constructed all over the countryside back in the 1930′s or whenever.
I heard on the news that when the heavy snows arrived in NE USA a nuclear power station was closed down
How very dare our editorial policy be questioned. Find this man and have him re-educated.
There is room in the dock for them all.
Even more room here.
The Stafford situation was entirely down to Labour it happened on their watch. But as with everything they got wrong they wont hold their hands up !they are a disgrace.
Why is Hunt not giving Burnham and Hewitt grief when interviewed on BBC?
Sadly because he is a gentleman without the taste for the jugular. Liebour people have no shame and will blame anyone but themselves.
He will have to to be trained by Gover he seems to have his attack dogs trained he dosen’t have to do anything
He may be worried about Peter Bottomley and his own career.
His kick back will not be as large if the bid price for NHS privatization is down. Who would seriously want to buy into an organ widely known to be responsible for state murder ?
The might be wanting to establish the US system of health care if you have insurance OK but which Insurance Company, and that depends on whether the Insurance company pays up, how many have taken holiday insurance and found that the insurance does not cover what they have fallen ill with. To get some idea how much it might cost, notice vet bills and how they have gone up, with humans triple or quadruple that. You ill have to pay for all your drugs as extras, not cheap after stroke or slorosis
That should be sclerosis of the liver caused by alcohol and popping steroids
US has just gone with Obamacare, so likely not going there. Burnham was talking about importing some of those ideas towards end of last month: Very surreal pronouncements.
Obamacare is essentially the same as the UK where you have no option but to pay in. They are making the proportion paid in compulsory and commensurate with your pay over there. And now, removing medicaid, denying those who are not earning from healthcare.
The notion that the poor were denied health care in the US was previous false propaganda mainly promulgated in the UK.
Hunt is keeping out of this as he likely doesn’t want blood on his hands or interfere with the ongoing criminal investigations. This is bigger than Hewitt / Burnham: The department itself on the civil side is primarily at fault, and then work down to the front line staff. Union take is going to be interesting, which will be another sensitivity for Hunt.
In mean time, Fernbridge could take him out. Virginia Bottomley was secretary of state for Health 92 through 95, another weakness for Hunt. She was up to her neck in Pindown back then, this policy in Health is claimed to have started 2001 but is that a limitation of the inquiry scope, or the truth ?
Not keen on Hunt: He should have gone after Sky-B and Olympics screw ups.
Maybe we should have the US health system. They kill 75,000 a year unnecessarily.
So they haven’t done any testing on meat since 2002, how does Liebour get the whitewash on that one, also it’s a criminal conspiracy, the excuse being used, we should close the house of criminals ASAP, instead of starting in America, it started in Rumania, these b,stards stole the Great out of Britain and lied and cheated for their business friends and themselves .
Yesterday they wanted £11 for four lamb chops in Tescos ffs.
Lamb !!!
PMSL
STFU n00b!
Mountain Goat is 0.1% raghead shepherd.
Camel toes are £50 a pair apparently
Lamb is always expensive, thats not new. I dont buy it.
That Mary Creagh is a fucking joke too.
All the meat coming into the country, her wetting her knickers about the scandal even though admitting it hasnt been checked since 2003…but should we have an import ban?
Oh no, not at all.
Such is their craven devotion to the EU, the health of and food security for UK consumers comes a poor second.
Didn’t someone mention Mexico on C4 News last night. I was only half listening to it.
Mexi-cow?
Another government agency failure – Fucking Supine Agency for food standards, financial services, and then there is the Quality Care Commission which did bugger all over death rates in Hospitals.
Quangos not fit for purpose, and wasting taxpayer’s money in the process.
Another fuck up from Brown and Blair. Now Ed is hitching his bandwagon to some dead horses.
My brilliant butcher has to jump through fucking hoops to abide by all the ridiculous EU regulations governing his business and his suppliers.
How the hell do these supermarkets get away with such lax standards?
New EU food lottery rules.
Simples, because they can, how do they planning permissions where others cannot, because they can
Brown envelopes?
I never buy red meat unless it has been raised or shot on the Waad estate.
Let’s hope that the village butchers do well, for a change, after this gargantuan fuck-up! Ill wind and all that.
I have learned a great deal about honesty and integrity from Denis MacShame.
Wasn’t he the Minister for Europe who told the Romanians to put all their horses for sale on the international meat market?
To Englands’ rugby team…
Oh Englands men,dont’ wait behind,
Be fleet of foot,and,sharp of mind,
Tis on this field,this “green”,this day,
Upon which glory comes your way,
Pumping legs and thrashing arms,
No time for gentle,manly charms,
For Englands honour,do your best,
As you set out upon this quest,
To crush the foe into the mud,
With spit and sweat and snot and blood…
Run and play with every breath,
The fight is nearly to the death,
Push and shove and grunt and kick,
Dont’ be shy,and dont’ be thick,
This is your chance,your bid for “Glory”,
The perfect end to your story,
Should you pause ,or,even falter,
The whole result,you will alter,
Dont’ throw away the will to win,
And keep away from the naughty bin…..
(10 yrs since England won ) Good luck “Paddy”

That Liebour woman who’s been all over the tv news yesterday about the horsemeat is getting sliced and diced by Brillo.
She sat on the bacon slicer? Disaster…
oops!
Thanks for backing me up when I was getting people to hack dead girls phones. Hope you and Louise Mensch enjoy the reward for your loyalty.
Did you ask Brown and Bliar how they enjoyed working for Murdoch and did they enjoy his company at Chequers.
Oh yeah we had a lovely time. Our holiday in australia with the Blairs was delightful. Everyone sells out eventually, as Guido has proven.
Yessum, massa Murdoch.
I much prefer the pedos at the BattyBoyCorps.
I think that canard’s been laid to rest
Thinking exactly the same myself. sold out to the Murdoch dollar.
He might be angling for his own TV news program, totally impartial of course just as Brillo has on the Beeb, in the manner of those Fox News and political slots. Geedo didn’t get what wanted from Dirty Des so he has deserted him for the Dirty Digger.

Different strokes for different folks ? Not when I’m done modernising.

So we will end up banning Romanian meat coming into the UK, but if its still alive and picks pockets we can’t do a thing about it – WTF
You really have to hope that our host does not start to write for Endocrine Weekly…
Just look at it as a business opportunity, they come over here, we buy all their homeland for pennies and rename Romania, New New England , the last Englishman can turn out the light when they leave this shithole because the trash left won’t need any energy just green caves and windmills.
It’s going to be so much fun watching the horse and carts running along the M25, or will they be entitled to Motability car?
I recommend Brasov. I went there in 1973 and found it a pleasant city with the original Dracula’s Castle on the outskirts. Had quite a sizeable German speaking minority back in those days.
By 1993 they were mostly in Bremen under the Volksdeutsch policy

Exaro update on investigation into Elm Guest House and Grafton Close: traces Louis Minster. Fernbridge http://www.exaronews.com/articles/4840/richmond-s-ex-head-of-social-services-unaware-of-p*edo-ring …
YES!!!!
Funniest story of the week was the Tory councillor who saw a muslim woman in a burka with her child also in a burka and two black bin bags. He said to her “You have three beautiful children”. She started yelling and threatening him and he’s been forced by Enfield council to apologise. Personally I thought it was hilarious. He posted a photo of them on Twitter, since deleted, and it did look like she had three kids.
Osama bin Bag?
Y’know, this story WAS funny, back when Victoria was a secret, but it’s been done to death. Is there nobody in this Sceptered Isle who HASN’T heard that one by now? It keeps getting brought up every so often, different councillor, different town, but the same immigrant woman and bin bags! Somebody took a picture and Tweeted it as a joke, and that’s when the story became embellished! Let it requiescat in pacem already!
Sceptered?
Surely now more Septic, Scuppered, Skeptic etc…
And for that matter, what’s so bad about sceptic Septics, whose presence couldn’t hurt any worse than that of the folks from Horse-Butcher-Land imminently expected to arrive anyday, and at least they talk the lingo, after a fashion.
It is to be anticipated that some of these might find the transition from Horse-Butcher-Land to Horseferry Road both swift and soon.
or even sceptred perhaps
I take it all back. As I did not read the Fail, I did not realise that this time, there really WAS a councillor stupid enough to do it. One would have thought he’d be smart enough not to invite the controversy that could ensue, as it had done in the past, when this picture was re-Tweeted all over the place and there were people in responsible positions taken to task for having done so, but NO– Laughing Boy figured WTF and did it anyway, probably thinking nobody would reproduce the image (and his address with it), as it’s been around on the ‘Net since the year dot com. Well, he guessed wrong. (And so did I, it must be said, as to the story’s veracity.) Something tells me, though, this story will continue to go on, as now there may well be people looking to hack into politicians’ Twitter accounts and send this image, all for the purpose of just stirring up trouble with the Muz community, and causing grief for the pol.

That could be good payback on Labour if they do not deal with the likes of Burnham adequately. Harsh but fair.
NO! Let’s bring it up to date. She was seen in EASTLEIGH.
My Findus lasagne states it “May Contain Nuts”
Well, at least I’m not eating a gelding.

They’s a-sayin’ unkind words about mah column, massa Murdoch!
Is anyone really surprised by the Stafford mass murders? The vast majority of nurses are thick, nasty, illiterate chav scum who’d rather spend their time on Facebook and texting their braindead boyfriends called Wayne or Terry than do any nursing.
You seem to know a lot about them and yet you are still alive?
You only have to been to a hospital for an X-ray or consultation to see the pond life they employ. The occasions when I’ve needed surgery I’ve gone private and did fine.
Alluha Ackbar
So not only have our Socialist pals fucked up the ecomnomy and the NHS, we now learn they stopped the meat testing and have bollocked up the food chain.
What else will we learn.?
It’s a long list.
Labour failed to deal with banks properly.
They also allowed debt to soar, both national and personal.
They failed to deal with the media properly, resulting in rampant phone hacking. Their neglect and target system resulted in mass murder in NHS hospitals.
Their fiddling with school exam results led to many more kids leaving school with qualifications but a crap education.
And while we are on about fiddling they encouraged MPs to fiddle expenses.
But they did manage to stop some foxes getting killed, which are now eating babies.
All told a splendid 13 years of incompetence. No wonder so many unintelligent people vote for them.
Tories have manage to screw up the economy is less than 3 years through their stupid policies. ‘Austerity’ a complete failure.
labour are bottom feeders by nature so the lowest common denominator and stooping as low as it takes are de rigeur ..number one remains expedient hypocrites
Labour will always wreck anything they control, it’s what they do.
And Osborne hasn’t screwed up the economy? And is selling off the NHS to his mates.
Today I will mostly be playing Listen To Me Please by Supertramp.
Try ‘crime of the century’.
Bloody Well Right!
F’uck off back to your “Asylum” Al!
How about you just Take The Long Way Home, Rusty?
Never realised that you lot had taste !
Another few hundred thousand loyal conservative votes lost on today’s Inheritance Tax threshold freeze. Have they learnt nothing from the rapturous reception Osborne received when he promised an increase to £1million – it turned the last election campaign and at least saved us from Brown.
Its not as relevant this time. Property prices have dropped in most parts of the country.
It still hurts when you have worked your ass off and have some property, but can’t pull the offshore fiddles that the high-and-mighty easily accomplish.

True but he’s done very well. Nice house in Surrey and all that.
Thought Bragg lived in Dorset?
Socialism DOES work……for the upper 5%.
I can’t understand why he doesn’t still live in Barking where he was born. Surely he’d love the diversity, what with being the only white person left living on his street, and all that? Why move to some hideously white country mansion, in a village surrounded by Tories, and only the odd headscarf or tribal mask?
Well obviously I’ve gone right off him now I know he has a house.
Thanks for the heads up righties.

More pseudo-intellectual crap coupled with more comments about how the weather is in the retirement paradise where there is so much going on that you spend all day posting on here.
yeah yeah we know …. hope its pissing down where you are c’unt
he may be a c’unt but unless he is lying it sounds as if the weather is not so bad in his retirement paradise 0 he say spring is upon him.
Well spotted by the way – I had not realised it was him but once you made the link it was obvious from yesterday and today’s comments.
I think he changed his name “He who no longer posts” to avoid his reputation as a c’unt
Are “He who no longer posts” and “same old…same old” related. I think we should be told.

But I am grateful to them both as they show wisdom and balance to be present in these posts in a way that some others here will never know.
I say some others with caution as it seems more than likely that there is one obsessive who is doing this. If my suspicions are correct, then it also shows this person to be hypocritical in accusing me of changing monikers (where I keep mine for days or weeks at a time) as compared with himself who chooses multiple monikers within the same page.
The clue is in the language used.
My intention is to continue to post but I do have a busy time coming up where I might only come here occasionally in order to have fun with many like minds, not a few of whom, count as my friends. I wish my tormenter well and hopes he can come to terms with his problem.
@HWNLP: It is perhaps best to ignore the trolls and focus on your content and the points of view which are of interest or intrigue to you. Engaging Trolls is only distracting and a waste of your time.
Shifting moniker is good every now and then if the trolls obsess on one. Remember the power of ridicule is quite good, and trolling against yourself can be a confuser, especially if you have just put something down that is wrong or you have a change of mind. Sometimes it is good for getting across your real point more powerfully.
Guido can deal with this if he considers it to be not suitable for his blog, as he could deal with those think they are augmenting his points or perhaps their own.
Those who try to figure out who is who in an anonymous environment are really wasting their time. I could be mistaken for others if I figure out how to do bold etc. but then I could be just others choosing to post every now and then without. And that is before it is considered that one could just steal a moniker, the easiest way to confuse the least sophisticated.
Those who are genuinely interested in discussing real issues will know roughly who is who. It is not the person but the ideas, beliefs and views which are key. As Engineer said many moons back, noise filtering is important, especially if you wish to tune in on the signals carrying information of interest.
Wise words CO.
I like to show appreciation for people whose contribution I value. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was young when a close friend wrote himself off in my old car. Had I known that I would not always been able to speak to him, I would have been slightly more generous as it means something to the receiver and costs the giver little. Stress that I only mean genuine appreciation and not false praise as is so prevalent nowadays.
Generally I ignore trolls. But sometimes you get out of bed on a different side and take a bat to them.
The greatest respect is reserved for those who try and engage their brains. I love the company of people who are cleverer than I am and never feel threatened. It is the best way to learn. I steal from them without taking that which enriches them to bend a quotation to the purpose. Who steals my moniker steals trash

I hope all that post are aware that it is LGBT history month. Iain Dale is on lbc promoting it at the moment
Any idea when we’re having “Heterosexual History Month”.. in the interests of inclusivity and equality and all that?
It would certainly help spread awareness for heterosexuals.

Just a question being Welsh why do the majority of people (or so it seems) have an antipathy towards the scousers?
My mate is a scouser and just before Christmas I was round at his house.
He was on the Internet and he said “Ive just found a bike and a trampoline for the kids Christmas”
I said “Oh what website” thinking Amazon or such ike
“Google Maps” was his answer.
Is this some sort of sick fucking NHS joke?

The idea is that the last one to leave the hospital should turn the light out.
Unfortunately, it fails to take into account that their manner of leaving is likely to be upon a stretcher or in a box.

It wasn’t us, guv. Thatcher was in power between 2005-08 when the Stafford murders took place. Blame her.
Anyone seen Andy?
He’s busy following orders
That David Attenborough
Clegg on Sky saying he was shocked at Huhne’s behaviour. This moron put Huhne in cabinet knowing that he had lied on his election literature so why was he shocked.
He has also brought Laws back into government. This tells you all you need to know about the LibDem values. Lies and stealing are ok in the arena of political expediency.
Is anyone at North Staffs going to be prosecuted under the 2007 Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill.
Can we finally lay to rest the notion the the RCN is some kind of angelic extension of Florence Nightingale. The RCN is a trade union just like the BMA and the Police Federation only concerned about its own members.
Libdumps will win Eastleigh for 2 reasons. a) Many Tories will desert to UKIP b) Many Liebour supporters, realising they can’t win, will vote Libdump with their usual “anyone but the Tories” attitude. Let’s face it, this is how most Libdump seats are won. Liebour already behind UKIP according to latest poll.
They should pick Lembit Öpik as a candidate. He could then return to Parliament in triumph with a view to challenging Nick Clegg for the leadership. The party could then return to traditional Liberal values of honesty, integrity and ever closer integration with the EU.

LIBOR rate rigging is beginning to see some movement now, this video from July 2012 is worth watching if not seen before. Made just after Diamond resigned, it discusses the issues, real implications and gives a colorful cross section of opinion:
It also demonstrates that the IEA are less than objective in their position and also complicit in covering up fraud of this nature.
This was not a victimless crime: Ask any small business who purchased an ‘interest rate swap’ assured that rates could vary both up or down, and then were stung when the people who sold that product colluded to keep rates down. Stung meaning: put out of business or forced to mis-allocate capital in such a way that prevented investment, expansion and job creation.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/misselling-scandal-banks-let-off-the-hook-8477891.html
Note: The IRS mis-selling scandal is much bigger and has done more harm to the real economy than the PPI mis-selling. It is curious the bias in the media coverage. This was also very deliberately action, not a mistake or good intention having unintended consequence.
From Bloomberg – 31st Jan:
‘While we can expect government settlements with the banks to be costly, it’s safe to assume that the ensuing civil litigation will be more expensive still. If, for example, payments on $300 trillion in financial contracts were off by only 0.1 percentage point for a year, plaintiffs could potentially demand compensation for $300 billion in losses. That’s the equivalent of more than four years’ net income for the 16 banks involved in setting Libor in 2008.’
Worth keeping an eye on this.
Wow! Some excellent points raised here and also in the clip. I can only begin to address the multiple issues.
All sorts of problems are voiced which range between the criticism of micro-management in regulation and a return to laissez faire. Neither of these extremes is right in my view.
No human system is perfect.
Compared with what happened between 1997 and 2007, the status quo ante seems almost perfect by comparison!
My companies were big users of LIBOR from it’s inception. It was a wonderful innovation in its time as it enabled a transparent and impartial benchmark for the setting of contracts. Please note I was never a dealer – I just created contracts which used the rate. The m@rket grew in complexity with the growth of collars and caps. Customers who were large users of credit (corporations) were very happy with what we developed as they could take a view and hedge against the worst swings.
There is no question that at this time (1984 onwards) the rate was set in a perfectly ethical manner.
To come to the point, this was a good culmination of three centuries of banking tradition where there was regulation which was rarely flouted. Look at what we threw away! Look at the cost to us all of what resulted out of throwing this away!
As Richard Reid stated not just regulation but supervision and enforcement. When I talk of regulation, I take this as a given. The problem is it all became decoupled.
Max Kaiser is correct with his hit of peddling in fraud to describe what happened last decade. He is wrong to focus on London.
Philip Booth was correct in asserting that regulatory tools are poor for dealing with ethical problems.
The question which nobody answers is how does one get this genie back in the bottle?
I have some answers. But not for now.
Whether anyone likes it or not, we are all users of LIBOR. All interest rates are in one way or another tied to it. That LIBOR itself was allowed to be perverted from the central bank rates is of most concern, particularly as a key central bank was involved in that.
This was likely overlooked by BoE for UK banks as the distortion allowed the commercial banks to project an image of health, and the interest rate difference allows recapitalization of the commercial banks. There are unintended consequencies of this though, and of course moral hazard.
LIBOR itself has likely been subject to a certain element of ‘sentiment’ adjustment in the past. The way it is constructed, a careful blend from several banks with the extreme ends removed to ensure an unbiased fair value, ensures that without serious collusion the value cannot be moved significantly in one direction or another.
It would be foolish to assume that key banks have not tried in the past, but the most advantage they could hope for would amount to fractions of a basis point, which is acceptable.
There is no real regulation of LIBOR though. It is meant to be self regulating. Check FSA guidelines and there is nothing specifically in their about not rigging this rate. Similarly, the Financial Services Act 2002 is somewhat moot on LIBOR and its valuation mechanism.
Unfortunately that doesn’t absolve anti-trust issues (forgiven in US so far, under investigation in Europe / Canada), RICO (being looked into in US), and outright fraud (being investigated in London / US / Europe / Canada etc.).
What is also not recognized is that EURIBOR, PIBOR, TIBOR and nearly every other benchmark interbank rate was also being rigged during this period.
Distorting these interest rates undermines every principal of what could be considered ‘free market action’. It perverts a very fundamental market function of being able to value money: That destroys the ability to value anything with any accuracy, and of course capital mis-allocations will occur on a massive scale as a result.
The only short to medium term solution is a return to using gold / silver as benchmarks for international trade and price determination, until the money market price discovery mechanism is repaired and credible again.
London is worth focusing on as regulation as is well known is simply not enforced there. This needs to be cleaned up. When the interview was done, only the BoE had been credibly implicated as being involved.
It has only recently emerged though that during 2007 Geithner had acted similarly at the Fed, but in a slightly different way:
http://news.msn.com/politics/colleagues-allege-outgoing-treasury-secretary-leaked-information
The actions of the BoE / Fed and colluding commercial banks are extremely serious and go a long way to explaining why the hopes of economic recovery are fundamentally flawed.
Osborn cannot be blamed in the UK now, Brown in the UK only for following advice on full deregulation back in 1997.
The UK government economic advisers, and entities such as IEA, colluded with covering up this crime. On this basis one will be watching the Pryce trial with even closer interest.
And this post (+ thread by the look of it) is worth looking at in relation to the Geithner (allegation related to August 2007) article above:
http://order-order.com/2013/02/08/today-in-court-pryce-i-could-have-ruined-him-by-other-means/#comment-1589676
Zero-Hedge article: did-tim-geithner-leak-every-fed-announcement-banks
Is well worth looking up.
‘sentiment’ adjustment point agreed. It is the way the m@rkets work and is as close as we can get to an ultimately impossible ideal.
If you are correct in Brown only following advice in 1997 then that makes him criminally responsible in my book. The buck stops where exactly… if not with the person who at the time was not slow in claiming all the credit?
Max Keiser (apologies for earlier misspelling) is IMO following two agendas 1.) himself and 2.) USA which is understandable. The London issue is complex. The change in regulatory environment was wrong and weak. To that extent Keiser was right. Those who rode a coach and horses though it were, in the main, from the USA. Madoff was a product of the USA in every way one could interpret. Don’t visit that on the UK except in a derivative manner.
Diamond was from the USA. So were so many others.
I do not wish to demonise the USA as I am a great admirer in so many ways. I hate to even hint in any way that Brown may have had a point but the seeds of this did start in America. Brown claims that because they did, we had to? Wrong. At my school, I would have been caned a few extra times for daring to suggest it and deservedly so.
Where are the prosecutions? That is a valid point. I would like to see some of these creatures behind bars, not in vengeance but because that is the sanction for breaking the law. Retributive justice would send out a good signal.
Brown is def. responsible for his own actions.
Proving a crime though is going to be tricky, unless he can be shown to have directly profited. That is possible, however unlikely.
His Gold sale is another classic example.
Keiser’s agenda: Yes, but note carefully who he works for: RT. That is significant as are hints about his political ideology which come through in some of his shows. A little like the problems with Chomsky in some respects. Generally though he is sound.
Back mid last year though, with the info available in public domain (which is really all he would have had) the position he argued was unbiased, and I can confirm he was correct.
To give an idea of difference in type of fraud possible in London vs. US, consider re-hypothecation. In the US can go maximum 4:1 to original asset valuation. In London can go infinite to one.
The practice is not one I consider valid, but in infrequently traded instruments it is ‘necessary’ for fair price determination. However it is really only in London that you can get away with claiming a stack of worthless paper (Credit instruments in the main) as being a credible asset of any credible value you choose to back a loan.
The Madoff Ponzi could only work through such smoke and mirror tactics being available in London. (Madoff is not really important in the broader context. That was just a one off private investment house: Buyer beware.)
The so called JP Morgan Whale trade most certainly is.
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/429218/20130129/exclusive-jpmorgan-bet-against-itself-in-whale-trade.htm
All of the failures there can be tied back to weak regulation, and lack of enforcement.
Prosecutions are happening but slowly. It is difficult to prosecute in London, compared to NY, as RICO laws do not exist.
Under RICO you only need to prove that someone or an organization profited from crimes rather than that individuals took part in the crimes.
The SFO are working through but it is slow, and if government does not increase there budget then the investigations will have to cease due to lack of funds. (See how that works
)
Also, Diamond was from the US, but it was his #2 guy who was the enabler and also executor of much of what went wrong at Barclays. del Missier not only got his multi-million pound payoff, but was Canadian. Further reason to be uncomfortable about Carny.
It is usually those behind the leader who should be watched in politics: The same rule holds in business.
…a habit of pitting people in the bank against each other… Oh boy, don’t I know that one! I am a curious chap. When I know I am being wound up like that I walk away! I have done that in a huge way three times in my life.
Any normal person would have said I am mad. But it has always played out to my advantage, admittedly in a way I could not have possibly foretold when I did it. I am not trying to make a claim I am clever. I am probably just damned cussed…
The lesson I have drawn is that most of these people play bluff without knowing their own hand. I may not hold all the cards but removing the opportunity I provide can be very strong. Especially when you walk into the opposition’s den.
This further relates to a very pressing issue which I should like to take off-piste…
The psychology of the play is very simple. Lewis’ Liars Poker outlines what is going on, but I suspect you do not need to read further. (Mention only for others who may read this and not know.)
Those ‘normal’ people who play along are either in, or just dupes. They may perceive a comparative advantage but are playing bit roles. As an example, consider the onlookers who stand by and watch whilst the state murders a newspaper seller outside Cornhill.
That no one tried to stop that, or provide assistance is worrying and provides deep insight into how atrocities perpetrated by governments of the past and future somehow seem to happen without resistance.
It also explains some of the aspects which have allowed the mess in the financial services to happen as they have.
In both cases those in authority abused their position, and nobody with authority stepped forward to stop or correct this abuse.
People will not act without an authority figure to follow, and individuals without authority who do complain (people with cell phone footage / whistle blowers) will be ignored, discredited or otherwise coerced into silence.

Yet another broken promise/U-turn by the Conservative led coalition.
Thousands more people will have to pay inheritance tax to help fund long-awaited social care reforms in England, ministers will announce on Monday.
The inheritance tax threshold is to be frozen at £325,000 for individuals and £650,000 for couples for three years from 2015.
That will help to fund plans including an expected cap of £75,000 on the costs people in England have to pay for care.
Labour said that would be “a small step forward for some people”.
The move on inheritance tax comes despite Chancellor George Osborne’s Autumn Statement pledge, in December, to raise the threshold by 1% – to £329,000 for individuals and £658,000 for couples – in 2015/2016.
DON’ TRUST THE TORY SHYSTERS.
I keep forgetting the delightful 13 years of Liebour, while eddy and his bro was dilly dallying with their mums house to save the inheritance tax, while older people who owned their own houses were having to sell them to pay to move into sheltered housing, Liebour the best whitewash merchants in this unhappy land.

Whereas it is normally the case that politicians will want to keep their powder dry when an election is not imminent, thus having the ability to surprise with their manifesto promises, it seems that Ed’s will be put together by just one thing. Envy. Those who do nothing will always want to feed out of the stores of those who have applied themselves. These latter class of people are then branded by the former as criminals, solely because they worked hard!
In many cases, their capital will be modest, a family house can easily be worth over a million pounds now. It is nice to have one for sure. But it does not guarantee someone who is at retirement age that they will be able to live at even a comfortable level into their old age. One cannot go to the supermarket and offer the top few bricks off the chimney as settlement for your week’s groceries.
So Ed will be dealing from envy whilst he has conveniently sidestepped those very duties that others are having to bear. There is a word for that. Hypocrisy.
Weird Ed doesn’t have any policies at all. His tactic is simply to ring his hands and react to situations jumping on any bandwagon he can.
‘We mutht call on the polithe to invethtigate the horthe meat thcandal’…he says, after the police start their international investigation. Jumping on a bandwagon that is already rolling, and stating the bleeding obvious, has become an art form for Ed and his Party.
He’ll be along in a minute to tell us, will all of the gravitas he can muster, that tomorrow is Monday.

Of the 12 shows featured 11 are for nature or cooking programs.
I have no interest in either. And as the 12th was ‘call the midwife’ I do feel justified in asking for a 50% rebate on the tax.
I’ll happily pay 50% for the radio, the odd HIGNFY and the odd newsnight. And those Dad’s Army repeats are quite funny. But I think my parents paid for them some 40 years ago.
Anyway..50% off? Sound fair? It should. You’re still getting a bargain.

But don’t expect militwit to have a view on it!!
No one will do anything until a fox kills a baby, which is only a matter of time
A typical left wing response from the RSPCA ( another organisation taken over by the left wing) ” they only attack people when they are frightened.”
Its ok to kill rats, shoot pigeons in Trafalgar Square and parakeets in Bushey Park but foxes are not to be touched. Can a tree hugger give me a rational explanation
Well you are right in your view about the RSPCA. They are more leftwing than Lenin! They have always been so
They have squirrelled away £millions into London property and pay their leftwig managers £millions more .
How much , a pittance, they put into frontline services is questionable!!

suspect fox problem is London is due to foxes having close proximity to humans and no deterrent so losing fear of man.
labour still promoting foxes as cuddly !! Bless!
Surely a better solution would be to cut the population – of humans.
A couple of years ago someone suggested closing the roads on Sunday and hunting them. Much more humane, and much more fun.
Sorry, that was meant to be a reply to Nell at 250.
Well something needs to be done because foxes are becoming too familiar and completely unafraid of humans particularly in London.
And it is time that that was recognised!!!

Dear BBC,
Just watched Africa.
Thoroughly enjoyed being sent into a nice relaxed slumber watching various animals frolicking around the Savannah, and thankfully was not treated to an impromptu display of husbandry practices involving the larger specimens.
However: Please cut the global warming crap. Very irritating. Started subtly with a reference to the desert, then hungry elephants caught in a drought in 2009 (totally fixed 2 years later though you mentioned, after it rained) and then a cut to some logging stuff.
Now: The logging very good to bring up as deforestation is a problem. But the Global Warming is b/s. That kind of stirred me from my hypnotic state of watching animals running around grass lands.
Oh, you also forgot to mention that Africa has lots of mineral deposits and is rapidly becoming a major producer of coffee and other cash crop commodities which are of particular interest to certain business’ with links to UK government ex-cabinet members. No mention either of who supplied the weapons to the war which nearly wiped out a park, and certainly no mention of big white hunter Blair’s one man attempt to recolonize the place.
Still, liked the the bits with the animals, but this in no way justifies the license fee and I did have to switch it off before the credits started. At least now I shall know which bits to skip over on iPlayer.
Please let us know if a version minus the propaganda is to be released on DVD as snoozing with the wildlife and Attenborough on a Sunday afternoon after the Rugby is nice, after chowing down on last weeks loser at Chepstow with what one hopes is not GM triffid.
They should have showed more gay animals getting married.
Animal marriage’s next on my To Do list.
Didn’t see it, but did they mention that nowadays most of Africa actually belongs to China? Or did that little factoid slip under the radar?
No. And no mention either of the Rwanda / Uganda backed civil war going on in east Congo either (relevant as the countries featured), or the mineral smuggling to those countries by Ch!nese gangs and the pleb gate connection profiting in London.
What is it with labour? Mary Creagh on Brillo today. She speaks she lies. Labour are not opposition, they are a bunch of uneducated, political point scoring, half wits.
Labour should look at their role at Stafford Hospital, the hang their heads in shame.
Mary Creagh, do stop lying, you hypocrite.
Ed Miliband, do try to be honest at least once.
Andy Burnham, and your idiot mate Alan Jonson. RESIGN.
Burnham and Hewitt should be charged under the 2007 Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill which was put on the statue books to deal exactly with the type of situation at North Staffs where senior managment teams can be brought to book instead of finding a scapegoats further down an organisation.
They should be in front of a jury.
They should be in front of a firing squad.
Please, do not deny us our entertainment
Sounds like the sort of twisted logic that gave us Huhne.

Somebody talking sense at last.
Nobody has yet asked, in the light of these revelations, why the original suicide notes of the Jac!ntha nurse have not been released.
Could this policy have been going at Edward VII’th ?
It would certainly be a very strong motivation if such practices were being forced there for either suicide or silencing. Who knows what other information a couple of radio hosts phoning up could get if they could be put through to Kate’s ward nurse…
And would explain why government, Vaz for example, was so interested in stage managing certain aspects…
Michael J Fox and Mohammed Ali met for the first time yesterday.
They’re still shaking hands.
There but for the grace of God goes you.
I’ve met thousands and thousands of interesting people, including Messrs Ali and Fox.
Sky News
A lorry driver who delivers meat has exclusively revealed to Sky News the serious breaches of food safety regulations that he sees every day.
Ali, which is not his real name, has worked in the haulage industry for seven years and delivers to all kinds of organisations across the north of England.
He approached Sky News and wanted to talk to us because he believes the breaches he sees every day represent a public health risk.

The Germans are starting to ask themselves if they can see membership of the EU from our point of view.

Hands up all those who want to leave….
Think it would be easier to ask Hands up all those who want to stay.
Well trade with Ch!na is looking to be more important to Germany (as really it is to UK as well) than trade with so called European partners:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-09/china-passes-u-s-to-become-the-world-s-biggest-trading-nation.html
Is it worth the GBP 50m a day just to trade with Europe ? Seems like an unnecessary tax.
China Surpasses U.S. As Number One Global Trading Power
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-10/guest-post-china-surpasses-us-number-one-global-trading-power
Of course they have. Lots of US subsidiaries selling stuff made in their Chinese factories to their American parent companies which then flog them on America markets have demonstrated the weakness of Amercan enterprise.
And the country is run on slave labour.
Their time in supremacy will not be as long lived as that of the USA due to the people next doors…
doubt that you can say that with certainty. would be interesting to know via genetics if Chinese populated Americas
None of us can say anything with certainty but for the traditional.
Point 2 likely.
Ban all meat imports to the U.K until a full investigation and criminal action against those responsible for contaminating our food.
Europe refused British meats during the BSE criis-We have every right to refuse to accept this contamination of our basic foodstuff.
Use your local butcher.It’s not that expensive and you know what you’re buying.
Good idea. But where am I going to get my horse burgers?
Fancy a holiday in France?
http://news.sky.com/story/1050255/horsemeat-driver-lifts-lid-on-breaches
The horsemeat in this latest scandal was contaminated with a cancer-causing drug.
Apart from the basic fact that it was horsemeat wrongly labelled as being beef and we don’ t tend to eat horse in the UK,we have absolutely no idea exactly where the horses came from, the conditions they were kept under,the method of slaughter and preparation,or whether the distribution was safe and hygienic.
If my local butcher was discovered breaking so many basic laws,he would be immediately shut down and prosecuted.
This is a bloody scandal and totally unacceptable.Tell the EU we’re not accepting their meat until this issue is resolved and support British farmers and butchers.
At least in France they test their horse meat.
Before putting the toxic stuff in the pile to export.
dont forget the IRA scum who make a killing from filtering dodgy processed products into the UK food chain

I’ll make you a hot water bottle then come and tuck you in…
Haha.
Good, someone has to do it or the jumped-up little dish rag will think he has some right to rule over the lives of millions.
Hot.
so the very important question is, if signs of past life are not found on Mars. Why not ?
Andy Burnham cover up ?
dont read the sun, never will
so, todays little poser is:
what’s the tory solution to the economic crisis??
the answer:
kill diasabled people
Liebour have already done that according to the Media and even the BBC, you would do better if you asked them what did they do with the billions they “invested” and the 10p they got for 400tons of gold and the doubling of the tax from 10% to 20% for the low wage and the millions of immigrant they let in to take over the low paid jobs ,then called the low paid lazy bastards, go live in la la land where the Liebour supporters live.
Not really a good time to come out with your propaganda Clod, after it is now common knowledge that hundreds if not thousands of vulnerable elderly people have been seriously let down (starved and left to die of thirst) by your NHS flagship under New Labour.
Labour introduced ATOS / Work Capability Assessments
Nonsense !
with respect i doubt most disabled people give a flying fuck as to which political party introduced atos into their lives, some can handle the stress of assessment, others… well take a gander at this please-
http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/list-of-those-for-whom-welfare-reform-and-cuts-were-too-much-to-bear.295951/
the list will probably grow and this whole new bedroom tax notion will compound things further.
Let’s call the bedroom tax an investment, Liebour did when they screwed the country,
Pre 2010 there would be a high number as well. Suicide would not have been recorded as verdict though, and reporting may have missed.
It was not widely reported but when care in the community was started towards the end of the 80s and the residential care centers (mainly residential psychiatric hospitals) were emptied, there was a similar pattern of suicides.
This is just a soft version of the harder and more definite crimes perpetrated by Burnham and Hewitt as per Francis report, between 2001 and 2010.
A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.

Helluva strange time for you to get “resurrected,” wasn’t it?

The EUSSR,a shady disreputable bunch of commie assholes still wedded to their dream of a communist utopia.
Now I do think that this dream was destroyed years ago in the cradle of communism mother russia.
My next question is why in heavens name do we have this subject on the agenda at all.
Barroso bollocks subscribes to the doctrine of chairman Mao,von rumpy has been proved to be a no mark and cathy ashton was promoting get rid of our means of striking back at nuclear aggressors,what a bunch of quislings these people are.
what concerns me most is how the people of this country walk up to the polling booths and vote whatever when apparently they have not got a clue as to what goes on.
To the people of this country I say wake up and see what these political assholes are doing to you and this country.
Is this the country your forefathers fought and died for to ensure your futures,no it is not,asshole politico’s are selling your country down the river for vested interests from whatever quarter.
Frankly the future to me looks bleak in that we now have in this country a bunch of couldn’t care less political plonkers running our affairs.
Can we the people stop this,well I for one doubt it and I do sincerely hope that I am wrong,but we will see.
I can’t see it happening. The “thing” that is about English has been diluted and castrated, bit of a shame really.
ah! Ze great British Noballdog?
Well said Saffron. the white English people that built this country brick by brick are getting mightily pissed off – I hear it at work, in the pub, even in the street. When will they break? Maybe the 5m Romanian and Albanian no marks will tip the balance?

Lots of lovely Libor postal voters !
could foxes be reincarnated labour councilors ?
They have access to raw resources, the internet and plenty of cheap labour.
Why not stay put and build a nice country ?
If they need a revolution, we have arms for sale.
Nothing will happen because the BBC/Liebore/Guardian and EU alliance will brainwash the white unwashed masses once again.
Nicky Campbell and Victoria Derbyshire will spit out their lefty bollocks like a Somme machine gun “immigration is good for the Country” (you can bet if the BBC imported Romanian radio presenters on minimum wage they wouldn’t think that) and the NHS would fall apart without foreign workers. Sure like the NHS isn’t fucked already.
In my part of the world, the BBC pulp I get is already full of mainly soot coloured foreign workers disguised as ‘presenters’ and autocue readers.
I suppose you lot in what used to be good old Ingerland only see white faces yapping out unintelligible ‘esschury inglish’. Not sure who is best off, but I confess I hardly ever watch that channel anymore.
Worrying to see a deranged rodent causing harm to children. Michael Gove should be ashamed of himself.
Those rodents appeared during Fatcher’s Government.
Worrying to see if Liebour ever get in and the children being unable to read and write yet again, the country is fcked and you can’t see anything through those rose tinted glasses your a sad sad person.
No need to read and write any more. All they will have to do is learn to recite the koran from cover to cover.
Get out, taking every penny you have with you, while there is still time.
Just tell everyone to” take the refund fuck off” – that’s what i do. and it works!!
That’s where all the taxis went…
Taxis probably cost the same as the train fare these days, so what’s the problem?
Why do it at all ?
Just pull the plug on the lying thieving bastards.
Quite funny to see how the BBC spins things. The BBC have totally forgotten who was in charge when the mass murders took place in the NHS, instead the BBC ‘spin’ is Tory cuts will kill more.
Then we have the horse meat nonsense, fatty Nolan last night was giving some Labour boot airtime to spout her lefty bollocks about how evil Tories blocked her bill to do something about food labelling in the EU Parliament.
Nolan missing the obvious points, like if it was so important why didn’t Labour do it when in power and of course you can stick any label you like on a packet if it’s sold as beef but contains horse you won’t know unless it’s tested.
The TRUTH is the EU is at fault, we’re forced to take this shite produced in eastern Europe because our own farmers are prices out of the market by the endless EU regulation that we enforce but the rest of the EU ignore.
We’ll see to it that the sheeple blame the Tory led government and it’s cuts.
In these times Common Purpose IS the government.
Common Purpose needs to be removed. It is a subversive presence.
Awarding contracts in this way is in breach of equality and competition rules.
Declaring common purpose a criminal or terrorist organization could be a good start.

These banknotes are made of polypropylene, which has a melting point of 130–171 °C (266–340 °F), so you’d have to get them bloody hot before they melted. The stuff does degrade when exposed to ultra-violet light, like polyethylene does, but not quickly, and one does not normally leave banknotes basking in the sunlight as passers-by have a regrettable tendency to take them away. I suspect that the fuss comes largely from people who don’t like the idea of plastic money and are taking extreme measures to bugger it up.
Poly notes are Ok and have worked fine in Australia for years.
They tried something different in Canada, f*cked it up badly, then tried to cover it up by making it a national security issue, and then finally admitted mistake.
People were annoyed as apparently the banks didn’t replace damaged money, causing people a loss.

Morning Campers,
No problems to report. Have a good journey into the Guy News Room.
Confidence among UK businesses hit its lowest level in at least 21 years last month, a survey suggests.
Accountancy firm BDO, which published the survey, said it suggests the economy will struggle to grow in the first quarter of this year.
That is despite signs of improvement in the labour market, it said, with firms intending to hire more staff.
The survey gauges optimism in business performance and the economy over the next six months.
BDO’s Optimism Index fell to 88.9 in January, well below the score of 95 needed to indicate growth.
That is the lowest level recorded since the survey was launched in 1992.
Peter Hemington, a partner at BDO, said the findings suggested businesses were becoming used to the lack of sustained growth in the UK economy.
There is more than enough rubbish on TV without reading in the Sun as well…
