Nick Clegg: “Heads Will Need to Roll”
Nick Clegg is about to change his tune on what he knew about Lord Rennard and any cover up. Those drafting his statement might like to look at what he told ITV at the peak of the BBC Savile cover up:
“Clearly what happened on a large scale was people felt so intimidated by fame and power that they didn’t speak up for a long period of time.
Serious questions need to be asked and if after we find out what’s happened it’s clear that people have turned a blind eye or, worse still connived with it then of course they’re going to have to be held to account and heads – if that turns out to be the case – will need to roll.”
Perfect.
sausage rolls
I dared to mention Schrodinger cat’s comment about taking his Treaty of Rome on holiday so that he can quote it at Jonny Foreigner (see http://order-order.com/2013/02/03/read-guido-in-the-sun-today/#comment-1579849), and queried (i) why he constantly drones on about living outside of the UK, and (ii) whether he had left the UK to avoid paying tax.
He did not take it very well and called me, inter alia:
“this pathetic, trolling, sub-human mong”
“pathetic, snivelling, sub-moronic, swivel-eyed, rat-faced, monocular-brained, bat-eared, slab-sided son of a seacook needs his bumps felt”
“the most gargantuan сunt who ever walked the face of this planet”
Now to be fair, I have been called much worse in my time but it did seem a little over the top.
However, this is exactly the sort of bully boy tactics that need to be stamped out.
I was of course hugely upset and intimidated by his comments and am now a shadow of my former self.
You need to remember that Schrodinger’s Cat is a pussy, and a pretty mangy and splenetic one at that. There used to be worse, e.g. the so-called ‘Beast’, and that cretin posting as “.45 Govt”. No shortage of anonymous tough ‘men’ around here!
As for Clegg’s volte-face, C4 or some other journo’s must have someone on the record implicating Clegg, otherwise this wouldn’t be coming out now. Good, good! Couldn’t happen to a smugger git than he.
Cleggy is trying to sound tough when he couldn’t manage a whelk stall, or punch his way out of a paper bag. Heads will roll really means a wimpy please cover this up in the Liberal tradition!
Clegg lost his spine some time ago and his treatment of this affair will make him seem more inept than he is already…cue…another song no doubt
This ju
…st in from today’s Snowmail (fecking shoogly trains!):
Lord Rennard strongly denies the allegations that were first broadcast by Channel 4 News last week. We’ve seen emails that suggest the Lib Dem leader’s staff knew about the allegations four years ago. But today the Business Secretary Vince Cable said neither he nor Nick Clegg knew anything about the story until they were contacted by Channel 4 News.
Mr Clegg can’t make it onto our programme tonight and no other senior Lib Dems accepted our invitations to appear. But Clegg won’t be able to dodge questions about the scandal when he is campaigning in the Eastleigh by-election this week. And we will be there to keep asking them.
Ah har har, har har!
Someone knows what he was told and is drip feeding the info to make the humiliation long and painful.
Now who would do something like that? Somebody with plenty of time on their hands, someone who wants to try to creep back in to the good books with the journalists, somebody with a grudge against they young man who became leader. Admittedly that only narrows it down to ‘all of them’ but some names are nearer the top of the list than others.
Who is a suspect to drip-feed?
The speed of the information would be caught by a speed camera if it was a car.
Get my point?
A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.
STFU
““this pathetic, trolling, sub-human mong”
“pathetic, snivelling, sub-moronic, swivel-eyed, rat-faced, monocular-brained, bat-eared, slab-sided son of a seacook needs his bumps felt”
“the most gargantuan сunt who ever walked the face of this planet””
“Now to be fair, I have been called much worse in my time ”
I’m affraid Mr Griffin you need to seek help
fucking liars
They can’t even stick to the same story between em, fckn loving it……Lib Dumbs
……and non of the Lib Dems beat me at lying.
‘fucking liars…’
Talking of which, The BBC’s Savile inquiry survivor, Boaden is disputing that ex-BBC DG Thompson wasn’t aware of the allegations about Savile.
According to the ST her solicitors wrote to the Pollard inquiry with ‘new evidence’ that she telephoned Thompson in December 2011, informing him about the nature of those allegations.
Thompson says that he never heard any allegations
Boaden’s evidence does not appear in any of the transcripts, or other evidence, released by the BBC last week.
Why not?
Dedacted in the interests of transparency, you impertinent little oik.
Ah so! Sense whored?
Reelly must try to impprove me spelin
Heads will need to roll? Apart from his own of course, his kind always find minions to play the fall guy with a promise of another job when it all dies down. Plenty of non jobs his kind can bestow on their clients.
We want a video Nick.
Makes us laugh at you even more you pathetic specimen.
And don’t be late for tea.
Has Nick Clegg had to cut his Spanish holiday short?
sniff my butt
Rinka the Dog was a different Liberal leadership scandal!
Still, Huhne must be cursing Vicky double-plus-plus for his downfall (he wouldn’t blame himself, for any of it, natch), especially with Cleggover on the ropes!
I think we’ve got a very clear message, a loud and clear message that Britain cannot let up in dealing with its debts, dealing with its problems, cannot let up in making sure that Britain can pay its way in the world.
You have my full backing, although I may be down the job centre before long.
Ken Clarke is not happy.
Good!
The only clear message is that I’m a twat.
The message just isn’t getting through to us, Ed. If only your face was a bit less punchable, your voice lacked a little more gravitas and you had a few less good policies, perhaps more people would believe you.
Oh, and if you had a fat, discredited sidekick. That would help.
And we are busy cranking up the presses to pay for those debts in full.
I certainly didn’t know anything. I can’t be clearer than that can I?
And if I did know anything you would expect me to lie about it as other LibDem MP’s have …. Clegg, Huhne, Laws, ……..
Leave me out of this Guido. Can’t a Pedo rest in peace??!!!??!!
Blind eyes, deaf ears and zipped lips. See no evil…hear no evil….and keep your mouth shut. Call it a cover up? I call it a liberty!
Worth noting that Nick Clegg and Vince cable knew nothing about this until last week.
He seemed very keen to tie Clegg into his view
Check out Vince’s blink rate during the Marr video piece…he’s fucking lying through his teeth.
Judge them by their behaviours and not their rhotoric!
rhetoric
Welease Woderwick!
How old is Vince? Has he been measured for his coffin yet? Doddery dimwit that he is.
As I watched cable I could only think one thing – he is deliberately trying to get Clegg by saying he didn’t know when Cable knows that he did know. Get Cleggy on the cover up Vincey gets in.
As we all know Politicians lack integrity – but the Lib Dems are surely the most two faced of them all.
Where’s Harriet’s ginger rodent in all this?
Just popped out to the PIE shop
Is there a classified document there on Mr Cables bookcase?
His blink rate is huge. High blink rate = lying
It’s easier than that with politicians – their lips move.
Vince fails again
I’ll forgive Vince claiming he didn’t know until last week as the senile old goat probably can’t remember anything that happened in the last seven days.
I think that the problem is, is that Vince hasn’t got the resources to undertake his ministerial role and that of Davros, another power crazed fantacisit.
Vince allways looks like he is smelling shit
The shit he is smelling has dried on the vest that he is wearing.
Do you think someone is going to get their collar felt over this one ?
I hope not!

BBC Head of News dumps former BBC DG Thompson: her lawyers reveal she did tell him of #Savile abuse a year ago http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/Tech/article1220131.ece …
Some people just will not hear what is said. They can only hear what they want to hear.
Similarly, they only see what they want to see. Look up “gorilla experiment”. The phrase about the elephant in the room has a real basis. You can not blame them, they just live in their own fantasy land. Any input that does not fit with their desires is filtered out. If you force it, they see it as an attack on their world. People that honestly deny knowing, when they have been clearly told, should be removed from their post due to mental incapacity.
All humans must exhibit this filtering to different degrees otherwise we would not be able to have a conversation in a crowded room. Yet some can blank people even in a one to one situation, their own world, in their head, is the only real conversation.
Most will recognise a person with memory loss, but one that can not comprehend the abnormal because it is outside their beliefs are considered “nice”. I always prefer the one that knows they have a problem.
Inattentional blindness is well known to me. I use it when I am driving and filter out any conversation or a beautiful view which potentially might cause an accident.
I notice others who turn inattentional blindness to their driving when they are doing “more important” things like talking on their mobile phones.
Observation is not just a passive thing though. Most people who are successful train themselves to see things which they might not otherwise see. I will mention an easy one which anyone can do: How many people look up at the roofs in their town. There is a wealth of interest up there yet it is mostly ignored as people tend to look only in their horizontal plain.
So to the topic, something as important as this must be noticed by the leader, otherwise it becomes an existential threat.
What’s all the fuss about? He was an office pest and they got rid of him in 2009. Now they’re waffling about accountability just in time for the Eastleigh byelection.
Now neglect in hospitals with no-one being held to account – now that’s something to fuss about!

Fat middle aged men touching younger women wanting to get on in the Libdems is all very interesting but how is it going to help me and all the others get a job?
According to Moodys the main reason we have been downgraded is because of the anticipated slow growth of the global economy .
Moodys also mention that people like me are not paying taxes but that is put in at the end the downgrade.
I’ve just realise that someone did tell me, but at the time I was playing Angry Birds so wasn’t paying attention to what they actually said.
So you are a C*t then?
I agree with Lola

Absolutely………
And me……..

Early retirement.

We will be holding an internal examination of this matter , which Rennardon will look forward to

I replied to you earlier today on that blog. basically – I got bigger fish than you to fry little sprat.
Everyone will know now that you can’t argue the case.
All that rodomontade and no trousers!
You going to Florida this year?
Argue the ‘case’ – I didn’t realise that we were in court. The only case is how you use twisted rhetoric – almost similar to Melanie Phillips and many like her.
On quick reflection – Thanks once again for the smears SC.
You could almost be a certain Charles ** that I knew a few years ago. Now he was a king of the twisted rhetoric.
btw – who’s the Ex Cabinet Minister – you aligned yourself with the other day? Wow you must be really ‘connected’ ‘n all that ….. ZZZZZzzzzzz.
BC Just ignore SC, he is just a ghost in the machine
Yes GR – SC now has the 6,000,000 question to puzzle over.
I bent over backwards for Rennardon but he chose to grope my staff
He has left a nasty stain on the party , and my desk !
So Clegg has now ‘fessed up to having ‘concerns’ about Rennard dating back to before the last election – so either i) he was turning a nelsonian eye to allegations of sexual harassment or ii) he was lying this morning.
Bigger picture – this is clearly an attempt to discredit the leadership and replace Clegg with someone who is less offensive to the electorate – with Clegg to quit as an MP and go back to the EU – is Farron a shoo-in or is anyone else in the frame?
Someone is clearly pulling all the strings to finish Clegg, all will out in the next few days.
Hughes is my bet, for being ‘deep throat’ to the press
At least Rennard isnt a knob jockey
A rare thing in the LibDem inner ring
He has put his arm around a few women , touched the odd leg whilst suggesting a trip to his bedroom
Hardly makes him a rapist does it ?
I’ve had women do worse to me and never felt the need tor a trip to da babylon, even if not interested
A lot of women need a good slap or a staight jacket
Beast
Said the Stud muffin !
There are suggestions circulating that the leadership did too little to investigate a culture of “sex for favours”, in which women candidates or staff who wanted promotion in the party were pressured into sex. The allegation is that when complaints were made they were not taken sufficiently seriously by senior Lib Dems. The Rennard scandal in particular implicates some of the party’s most senior figures and goes right to the door of Nick Clegg.
would that be his rear entrance ?
Arthur Sulzberger Jr
Another mong who would never have started off what his father did.
Nobody asked questions as long as Rennard was securing donations.
Foxy name, foxy guy.

Fillip says I should bring them in through Traitors’ gate. Get the Beefeaters to help them confess. Then hang, draw and quarter them. We would only need to process one or two, and the others would suddenly improve no end.
Should it be Bliar, Brown, Camoron, or Cloggs first? Difficult choice for one to make. I think I’ll line them up and see which the corgis bite first.

Not ours. We’re on a roll.
I do wonder where the Tory’s were when Marta – outed the lack of accounts being audited in the EU … now I must remind myself who stiffed but then paid off Marta – Oh it was Kinnocio and his other clown Mandlebumbandit.

I do not refer to your family fleeing ……….. just you
So you actually believe I would support a system of government that actually oppressed my kind/tribe?
There is no truth in these allegations – all Lib Dems are gay, it is party policy.
Don’t forget lots of my Conners are boy bum bandits as well.
It appears to me they are , and this policy on gay marriage has been forced by them onto Spineless Dave
Tory backbenchers are spreading rumors that I will be forced to step down after the budget.
This is completely untrue.
I would have fired you after 12 months you useless twat !
Let me first address the issue that there are not as many women in the LibDem front bench as other parties.
Well other than the Eagle sisters who do not bat for our side women cant easily grow beards.
Thank you for your questions. Goodnight
I was not aware of the fact that I’m an utter berk until a few days ago.
Poor old BBC they don’t know what to do. If ONLY it were Tories, then it would be straight forward.
Make up lies, false links to Fatchur and bang on about it every 30 seconds.
But as it’s their favourite shirt lifter party (even though the BBC hate Clegg) they don’t want to go in for the kill.
Expect them to come up with some sort of diversionary story or just ignore it.
Newsnight will probably send mong Ma$on off to Spain to make up some story about right wing violence meaning they can bump this story down the running order.
All will be dedacted shortly, and for your impertinence, the tumbril awaits.
We can confirm that the Dutchman has left Spanish air space
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plane.
All the while the Libdems continue to play at 6th Form politics; 1200 people have died at North Staffs and no one is to blame

It happened on my watch but the bbc have been very helpful.Just think if it had been a tory health minister.
I have never heard of Nick Clegg or Lord Rennard
Or of lord patten of that ilk.?
Just been told that Tesco’s sales computer analysis indicates the U.K. population is now circa 80 million. Can this really be true?
Even in the West Country there are lots of immigrants now ( e.g. Cheddar car boot is crawling with Poles every week )
The real Confucius he says
Go forth and multiply
Work and in the long term you diminate the world
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Untrue. Between 65m and 70m but no one really knows. Recent projections suggest we shall overtake Germany in population by 2025 (at earliest) to 2056 (latest) at numbers around that which you mention.
80 million plus another 20 who eat out of the barbed-wire protected bins round the back.
Welcome to Shitain.
Tesco’s computer sales program indicated no horse in any of their products.
I don’t rely much on companies that “pile em high, sell em cheap”. Woolworths etc.
And who remembers the Rose Garden of May 2010………….?
I beg your pardon
I didn’t promise in the rose garden
All is clarified.
Apparently it was just a misunderstanding, and any molesting of female-persons was actually carried out by LADY Renhard, who is ready to swear an affidavit to that effect, with her fingers crossed behind her back in case the bastard wants a divorce ten years from now…
That defence and any other to a clutch of women coming forward with specific allegations would not hold water in any court of law. I hope that such criminal allegations are made if they exist and a proper sentence imposed.
It is conceivable that all of this complaints are made by a group of women approached by Rennard and paid by Lab/Con to embellish their accusations.
There is an election approaching with the Lib Dems notionally ahead before the vote-winning period began. It’s not fair to disgrace the whole party because of one dirty old man.
“There are suggestions circulating that the leadership did too little to investigate a culture of “sex for favours”, in which women candidates or staff who wanted promotion in the party were pressured into sex.”
So how much cock did Sarah Teathe rhave to take for a nomination , and is there a video?
For the umpteenth time, Teather is a catholic zealot who will be a starring feature at Elton’s wedding that Vince organised by telling Cameron about gay weddings being such a big vote winner. Well they are here in Twickenham. Anyhow Teather has always been a maverick, the sort of Boris of the party, winning votes and minds and writing popular analyses and stories but not leadership material. She’s going down and not in a sleazy way, sadly probably by Labour winning in her Brent seat.
Am I the only person who thinks Rennard looks exactly like Leigh Bowery in one of his fat suits?
I think I’ve twigged what’s the matter with the productivity, it’s the immigration, people have stopped giving a fuck. Whereas previously people just got along in a sort of tribal environment and got things done now nobody feels they belong and so don’t have the enthusiasm to start anything big.
Actually that is what is the prevailing attitude to an extent still in Germany. Restricted of course to Eastern Europeans, and not to religion. I suppose your question will merit responses on a more relevant article, exploring the in depth european strategies of parties on on immigration. Until that time please stay on topic a bit more. This is about how parties should react to dodgy old dirty old men accused of indecency and likely to be convicted. The obvious answer I prefer is let the law take its course and let these women please come forward and be heard.
Well I believe Nick.
We all know that he & the rest of his sorry party know nothing.
The issue is whether he knew the substance of these allegations, not merely that he had been accused of say being a womaniser or offering a young woman sex, which is the implication of what he has said and made Alexander investigate. There is then the question of why weren’t the police involved and the further question of why it is that some men in Westminster think they can be immune from the police. There’s more than 2 parties now you know and Lib Dems sit in the middle so a woman should come forward and merely move ship if she is telling the truth. No decent reason why not.
((Yes I’m also the Prof. when I want to sound less intimidating))
“people intimidated by power and fame etc”
Understatement of the century, also include brown nosing for steps up the ladder. One of the single biggest issues holding back this country over the past couple of decades (at least). All parties should be careful as they could find that there in a big glasshouse when it comes to people being scared to question/turning a blind eye etc in the past. Sorting this out properly would drive England forwards in all sorts of ways, but I rather suspect that too many people have too many skeletons in this regard. And the establishment will protect itself.
I was once for example advised that if I pursued certain concerns the boys would stick together. On a related but genuinely separate set of events I read that a chap was imprisoned for sexual misconduct resulting in a teenagers suicide iirc. It is also amazing how our high hied yins can turn their back on you in the street when you go to the police. One even had trouble speaking to me for a while. And all because I followed the rules.
First head to roll should be Clegg’s.
