Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”
Bill Quango MP says:
Ned Flanders – Clegg
Lisa Simpson – Natalie Bennett
Milhouse – Hilary Benn
Martin Prince – Andy Burnham
Edna Krabappel – Luciana Berger
Crazy Cat Lady – Glenda jackson
Comic book guy – John Prescott
Carl – Chucka
Lenny – Philip Hammond
Willie – Eric joyce
Poochie – Gordon Brown
Reverend Lovejoy – Tony Blair
All this is knackering!
Never mind that another state regulatory system is proved to be of f_ck all use except for paying fat salaries to a bunch of rissoles! Just rejoice in the freedom of manly love to be expressed in matrimony! Don’t forget we gave you this freedom come GE day 2015.
There are more failures to emerge. Some have paid the ultimate price because of the ignorance of those that are paid to protect us.
Best example is when the government asked the regulator if everything was OK. They confirmed everything was fine. However, it was asked of the same regulator that was the cause of the failure, and the staff had admitted that they had no idea about the regulations. It will all emerge fully as the public excepts that they have no protection.
Wot’s wrong wi a bit o orse?
nothing providing its called horse and not beef, and priced accordingly…
.. and not full of drugs that are harmful to people.
.. and mixed in with other Romanian ‘filler’ – ie bits of badger, fox, dog, roadkill such as that.
Nothing providing it’s all blended with artificial colours and flavours.
Guess whose guidelines the regulatory bodies have been following for the past decade. Rich would have been more accurate by pinning a red rosette to that lasagne.
My advice to Cameron is scrap every fxxxing quango left by the last lot and start again.
One little problem there, would Big Dave know where to start ?
Oh gosh! I’m far too busy busy busy! Busy giving your money to Iceland and India! Busy spending £2billion on windfarms in Africa! Busy busy busy legalising gay marriage! Busy busy busy giving £53million to the EU every day (soon to go up by half a billion pounds a year – terrific negotiating on my part, eh, what what!) Busy borrowing £33billion and wasting it on a rubbish railway no one wants or needs! Busy planning for the arrival of 400,000 Romanian parasites next year (EU membership is so vital to our country, what what!) Busy destroying the armed forces, busy breaking every promise I ever made! Busy doubling Britain’s debt.
Far too busy to run the country properly, I can tell you!
Tally ho!
What, you mean by starting a ….. bonfire ? What a splendid idea. We could get that Pickles chap to manage it. Let’s put it in our Manifesto for the next election !
We we have been down this food sourcing problem before, anyone remember mad cow disease, by the way what has happened to that?
Lessons will be learnt we were told, appears to have fell on deaf ears
Mrs Thatcher is doing quite well; thank you for asking.
First and foremost, this is a failure of the EUSSR regulatory system…
Hypocrisy and canter.
Isn’t that Andrew Lansley ?
No, it’s Robert Kilroy-Silk
And the NHS mass killings are quietly forgotten . Burnham/heydrich wrote an article in the guardian yesterday saying something and nothing – I never got to the end but assume ‘lessons must be learned ‘
I wonder how many of the death-camp gaulieters are of the Common Purpose persuasion.
Don’t forget the “Must never happen again” phrase, Joyce
Food Standards Agency cost more than £160,000,000 and there is horse in my crispy pancakes – what the fuck is going on
Some fucker somewhere needs to take some responsibility
Fat fucker Stephen Hester is getting a multi million pound bonus for fucking things up – I am in some parallel universe
Fucking Supine Agency I and II – fucked up the Banks and Food Standards.
Quality Care Commission – fucked over over Stafford Hospital and was headed by Hunt who was at Stafford Hospital Trust.
Never mind Alex, you will be able to do it yourself and do everything right in your independent country, Scotchland.
Whose in charge at the Food Standards Agency another Liebour waste of space Lord most high Baron Rooker says it all.
May the horse be with you.
Thereby hangs a tail.
I had some lasagne yesterday – still got a bit in my teeth
I actually feel sorry for Findus. If it weren’t for tesco’s own-brand and the like, there wouldn’t have been this sort of cock-up. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is!
Findus are pirates who gave not a money’s about the provenance of their products until they were caught. The entire board of directors should be under arrest.
Findus were bought out by private equity sharks
Bought out by private equine group.
Shark Fin R Us
There is too many horse meat comments that about four on thr trot
Tell them to stop horsing about then
Remember the plot for the 1973 film Soylent Green where they were feeding people minced up people I wonder today they are they doing it? What happens all the people murdered in the NHS Death pathway I think they are been sent to Findus.
I have a regular supply of faux pork sausage meat.
Lasagne, lasagne, my kingdom for a lasagne!
I’m tired of brought-in Gregg’s sarnies. I could eat a horse!
When we’re finished with you you’ll be eating your teeth…
I don’t know if there was any horse in that lasagne I’ve just eaten, but it’s certainly given me the trots
I’d be shouting this from the rooftops but after eating a crispy pancake I’m feeling a little bit horse.
Neugh. Neigh. Thiuce neigh.
More speed, less hast
F’uck off!
Language, mummy might see what you have typed, and then smack your botty
Nice to see you still pandering to the lowest comm,on denominator. Ah well. Beats having to think dunnit
Please accept a full refund, etc., etc.
You can have the calf eye out my soup if you like?
Unfortunately, because it appeals to the bread and circus crowd, this story will run and run.
Chetham’s Library is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
I think a lot of of people will be running.
My kingdom for a horse burger.
At least there is nothing fishy going on here.
I hear they’ve found sea horse in fish fingers!!!
Many have been said in jest, but I remember seeing a TV prog about how cheap sausages are made, scrag ends of meat taken off the bone by high pressure water jets, it put me off sausages for years.
Champion !
Mr Ed…
Miliband
Should they call it “Beef” lasagne from now on?
in the world of trouble and strife the gentle cow of times past has lost its sanctity.
.
snakes everwhere but fear not…feed the Cobra the milk of duty for then he purrs. In our ethics free world, this works.
.
God bless. the sun god..who is worshipped on monday but not according to the black is white language that is english by design.
.
all communication works on the visible mind and the invisible mind of the subconscious our vibrational self. when one is pure and the other impure the impure wins out as it operates deeper.
.
know thy subconscious self and how it gets used…every day and every minute. The might who run the world have the ancient technology…get this science of the self before it disappears from the global consciousness…step by step….grain of sand at a time.
. Have a lovely week.
Pardon?
That ‘cartoon’ is absolute pony.
So is the carton that says “beef”!
Agreed, it’s a non starter.
A pony, that’s what Geedo puts in his pocket before he goes on the booze
Why no whitty [sic] remark about the failure of EU-regulation of the meat industry…?
:thinks:
…
:awakes:
Dick-and-Mark’s attempt at satire….
There is nae government failure here Jimmy.
Why the long face Paterson? (or Lansley)
Leave him Hugh, he is all tucked up in bed with his teddy bear sound asleep unaware of anything amiss, if is asleep it cannot be his fault
If only this was a caption contest.
He could well be saying”That other Owen,Owen Jones was in bed with me a moment ago,where the heck is he?”
In an Owen burger
What The Fuck ?
Good morning, sir. I trust you are well today.
Just as one has to change one’s underclothes once a day, I am having to change my identity with the same frequency. Not a sombrero day here I regret…
Good morning sir
i see that Broadmoor has released the fucking stalking nutcase again
it’s certainly “little acorn” weather here too
It occurs to me that from little acorns mighty oak trees grow. Trouble is it takes a hell of a while and your Emily, or whatever, has buggered off by then…
I would recommend that Rich should not give up his day job.
The assumption which is built into your statement may not be the case.
No he really is that good.
I put you to proof!
We couldn’t ask for a better cartoonist
This horsemeat scandal bollux is a really useful distraction from Dave’s economic failures and gay marriage fiasco.
It’s all a lot of Government and media hype. The public should realise that people have eaten horse for centuries. It’s a lot better than all the colourings, flavourings, and other shit that’s in processed food.
The greedy obese fuckers want this cheap crap food so that they can spend more of their bennies on fags, lager, dispoasable sofas and telly subscrips.
Hear ! Hear !
It was better when Ed M took his inspiration from Wallace and Gromit and not that Daisy Cameron and that todger Cleggito
People who eat horse knowing it to be horse should be free to do so. People should not be free to sell horse, espcially uninspected horse, and claim it is beef.
Still, you are entitled to your view. Why not come round to my restaurant and have a glass or two of Morrocan Chateau Margaux to go with this excellent Macedonian stilton?
Quite right. The food industry must meet the high standards of truth achieved by my Government and that of my Labour predecessors, notably Saint Tony.
Well you you are the heir of B’Liar
You mean Macedonian stallion
It’s making my eyes dilate just thinking about it.
Look at how far this meat traveled. It probably exceeded the consumers holiday travel distance.
It is again an issue of trading. The product is not important anymore. As long as they can do the deals and move it from company to company they are OK. The more it is moved the less likely anyone will ever track its origin. Each company in the chain could have conceivable “watered” down the product. I just wonder what else was in it?
Does sound somewhat familiar to the toxic debt trading. After so many owners no one knew what it really was. But at any time, any one of the companies could have tested the product.
In the end both were unloaded onto the public, once past their useful trading life.
Support the British farming industry which has to operate to higher standards.
Don’t buy this cheap foreign crap, with all it’s associated travel pollution costs.
It’s hard to know what is British . Don’t they label it so if it was packaged here ?
If the item is sent to the UK and then packaged in the UK they can say produced in the uk. Not the same but if a company produces engines for example and they are sent to India, a feeder vessell takes them to Rotterdam they are then shipped on to India. That is called as export to the EU
Fine then call it horse, and price it accordingly…
That it’s horse is not the problem. Horses are medicated with all kinds of chemicals that cattle and sheep are not. Mares are given hormones to stop them coming into season so they can race, colts are given other hormones to stop them trying to mate with said mares while racing. Older horses are given pain killers so they can carry on working/racing. One type of painkiller, known as bute, causes loss of bone density in humans.
Also mares urine is harvested for the production of HRT for women of a certain age. It would come as no surprise that the mares were medicated to produce as much hormone as possible.
If you want safe meat, look for the “red tractor” logo, or buy it from a butcher you trust.
Good-o. The story is running and running. My continuing fuck-ups are below the radar.
Toodle Pippa
You have 21/4 years Dave to do something significant, as time goes by apart from the financial troubles, which are on going, the Bliar/Brown era is receeding in folks memories and folks tend to compare how they were then to how they are now. So fingers out less spin more action.
No horse can run in the UK with bute in its system.
The Government says there is no risk to human health.
The horsemeat is perfectly safe.
“This horsemeat scandal bollux is a really useful distraction from Dave’s economic failures and gay marriage fiasco.”
Chapeau!!!!
Well spotted, it’s called “mass control”, things they used to do in old USSR.
The disappearance of £8 million payment promised to support sacked #Remploy workers… http://bit.ly/XBfYxF
That is the first time I have seen an article in the Morning Star that contains the word Pot without Pol and hero
Owen Paterson who fucked off home for the weekend and had to be dragged back to Westminster
just to tell food retailers to “Test your own products”So we have a highly paid FSA that don’t test and have never tested meat to see what is in it , except bacterior , and a goverment minister who didn’t think it was serious enough to interupt his weekend and a lying government who put out a statement saying he was in London holding meetings and was “on top of it” I don’t know who he was on top of but he was not in London he was at home
Agreed. I think we can safely sack the incompetant minister. And also replace the people who ‘work’ at the FSA with people willing to get off their backsides and protect the public instead of the food manufacturers and supermarkets.
Just shows that those on Dave’s Gravy train are only along for the ride
Beef Gravy, or Horse?
It does neigh matter
given that the political class is being killed off…why dance on the corpse?
Just think of us poor French – all our horse meat is contaminated with ze rosbif
What about me the pork sword I had this weekend wasn’t 100% sword
Disgusting , horsemeat in burgers what is the world coming to /
in future i will stick with only traditional French food like
Snails , frogs legs door mice , sparrows and cow brains and hideously infected deformed Goose livers
Bon appetit
give me horse meat anyday !
Eat my cock Frankie you cuпt! The whole point is that the whole public service charade is deceiving the public in their usual despicable, underhand ways.
If you had a cock it would be a rancid scabby thing not be fit for human consumption you fucking peado nutter
You should be so lucky, bitch.
That was the main ingredient for Soylent Green, if I remember rightly.
You got a beef with him?
If you tolerate this, then your Psittacenes could be next! Squawky á la orange premium gourmand range – no thank you!

We thought we’d test the idea of compulsory Halal meat on you first and you seemed ok with that so we took it a stage further thats all.
The big joke is that probably very little of the food marked halal probably is.
Can we Christians sue over being given halal meat? I’m sure the lawyers are already working on the mooslim prisoners being given pork.
I often specify that no-one must have prayed over my food before I am served it.
Feed them porridge.
Just shut your gob. You can’t say things like that
Open that bag and out will spring the cat
Parliament kow-tows to immigrants’ wishes
On what is allowed in national dishes
Was it not the late Robin of the Cook who told us that curried something or other [horse meat?] was now the nation’s favourite food (ahead of jellied eels and mash; and fish’n'chips)?
What is the RSPCA’s position on halal butchery !!
Mustn’t upset the Mooslims and J-ws.
About all that Paterson can manage to bleat
Is the E U won’t let us ban imported meat
Sod ill effects on the British population
Ne’er mind, at the current rate of immigration
There’ll be more beef in iffy imported horsemeat
Than British left in Blighty to gorge on the treat
If you had any doubts we’re not in charge of our own destiny, I think this answers that one.
Possibly rat poison in Polish milk.!!!!
http://www.wbj.pl/article-61746-scandals-rock-polish-food-exports.html
I don’t know if it’s still true today but a couple of years back I remember reading that in India there were an acceptable number of rat droppings (~50) allowed in each bag of rice/grain.
.. and in China, industrial melamine in children’s milk powder. Happily the perps got caught and came to a very rapid and sticky end – an example we might do well to follow in Britain.
Prime Minister David Cameron’s comment regarding same sex marriage is under review.
His comment is littered with expletives.
I assure that the food in this country is safe. We have no idea what’s in it but it’s safe. Well it might be full of dog meat, powdered glass and anthrax, but it is safe.
Look to prove it’s safe I willl feed it to Selwyn Gummer. You cant say fairer than that!
Dear Minister for Bullshit,
It was great to see you having your big moment on telly. I bet everyone who has ever heard of you was very proud. I don’t expect we will hear from you again, so I’d just like to say what a marvellous thing it is to see someone reach the pinacle of their career. The Job Centre is that way.
The Public
That Owen Patterson character is not up to the job I tell you .
Bring back that Liam Fox .
At least he is a doctor.
So was harold Shipman.
Is there horse in Fox’s glacier mints? Besides the fox content,I mean….
There is no horse meat in Whithers Originals.
Patterson out Fox in !
Get it done by 5.00PM !
Employ Fox and you get a Werritty (who Fox does not know)
Too late, fox hunting has been banned (which is why there are now 1000s of them loitering in the middle of the towns waiting to bite off babies’ fingers).
We must exterminate the city foxes, but of course keep the ban on country fox hunting.
We must keep our doors shut at all times.
I have already blocked my back passage.
Listen if you want us foxes to stop nicking food and breaking into your houses all you have to do is have the HoC pass a bill to feed us, Watson and Abbot would keep us fed for a year
Throw in a Pickles and it would be enough for 2 years
It’s us they’re really after, not the bushy-tailed critters.
No, Ice !
Is there any sugar in those Lasagnes ?
No but there is plenty of Lasagne in my coffee this morning .
Don’t you mean Shergar?
Did someone mention cheeseburgers?

From the Grauniad (so you do not have to go there)
A tale reaches Monkey about disgraced former cabinet minister Chris Huhne’s journalism years. When Huhne was on a traineeship at the Liverpool Daily Echo, he was told by no-nonsense news editor Alan Hudson to go to Birkenhead to talk to a man who had found something at the bottom of his garden. Huhne replied: “Don’t you know I’ve got a starred First from Oxford in PPE?” Hudson looked at him, then, deliberately mishearing, asked for quiet in the newsroom and announced: “This new fellow has just told me he’s got a First from Oxford in PE … so he’s going to do 20 press-us to show us what he can do.” Wearing a heavy suit, Huhne reluctantly dropped to the floor. Struggling for breath, he stopped at six. And then went to Birkenhead. Presumably driving at a sensible speed.
Mind your car for a tenner mister
A odd looking car triggered a major security incident at Liverpool Airport earlier today.
The vehicle was taxed, had its radio intact and had a full set of hub caps.
It had LICE marked on the nearside rear door.
I thought Alan Hudson used to play for Chelsea!
No you are mixing up Chesea with Stoke City mate.
Played for both
We are issuing an emergency notification.
Many of our SPaDs that have been tested have been found to contain traces of Minister
No I never !
Well, hardly ever!
Have we met?
WARNING !
Processed meals may contain traces of meat !
Hmmmmmmm I like a bit of meat inside me.
I thought I’d bought a cucumber yesterday…turned out to be a horse’s cock!
Did you try to eat it ?
What happened to Mark?
Mark Andíich. Rich and Mark. Geddit?
Sorry, that should be “An/dr/ích”; my attempts to get the name past the f*cking m/ód/bó/t went a bit wrong.
(Four attempts to post this message – what is up with this fucking blog??)
Rich is a no-Mark anyway and always was, but it only now comes out…
Labour’s motto

You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead.
Lead? Did you says lead? Where? We take lead! It on church roofs yes? We steal it tonight. We claiming benefits at this minute, maybe we steal lead later today, yes?
