Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
UKIP Official Policy Dept says:
Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
Sorry, but is there something about Chris that girls find resistable?
Will Clegg resign by Friday?
Does the Pope $hit in the woods?
Is that why he resigned?
Statement from Nick Dregg, the Deputy Slime Minister
The allegations made on Channel 4 about the Lib Dems ever having any electable policies last Thursday were extremely serious and distressing to all involved.
But I would like to make one thing crystal clear. I did not know about any Lib Dem policies until Channel 4 informed the party of them shortly before they were broadcast.
I am angry and outraged at the suggestion that the Lib Dems ever published a coherent, useful or popular policy. Indeed, when indirect and non-specific policies reached my Office in 2008, we acted to deal with them.
I totally reject the insidious suggestion that my office or I are responsible in any way for a deliberate policy on anything.
In the meantime, I will not stand by and allow my party to be shown to be effective or popular and will endeavour to see it sink in a show trial of innuendo, half-truths and slurs.
The important thing is that we respect any lunatics who have come forward and do everything to run away from real life. That is what will now happen.
Do ursines abdicate, citing health problems?

Yes Susie he does, I’ve seen him.
Must have been camping out during his Hitler Youth days.
Aren’t there any normal people amongst the elite?
No.
his backbone left the coalition some time ago so no loss
Will YOU fuck off NOW? Nurse Ratched had better double your dosage right away.
surely it is – Ratchet (device), a mechanical device that allows movement in only one direction
Does anyone know where ‘Cleggover’ has flown off to from Heathrow? Nothing on his ‘Grid’ apparently.
Does he perhaps know what’s coming out next re. Rennard?…

Rembrandt or Red Light? Cables a socialist so maybe just Red Flag?
Cable’s a darling to the media. Simple as that and Margot and I love him! xxx from totally desirable Twickers hoping mansion tax doesn’t start to affect xxx
LibDem spokesman(oops spokesperson) said he went to Holland on “Party business).
Apparently it was not listed on the programme for today issued this morning.
What’s the betting he’s making plans for a return to a job in the EU gravy train?
Where are the LD spokeswomen, I hope not also alleging sexual assault of one of the other parties and grassing to the media, not the cops as normal women would instead do?
According to the BBC 10 o’ clock news last night Clegg is in Amsterdam “for a Government meeting” – so now you know wwhere your seat of government really is aand – NewsFlash!- it’s not Westminster
Is that a gagging order in your pocket or are you just here to arrest me.
You’re the ghost of Stephen Milligan and I claim my Bahrainian face mask.
Who wouldn’t vote for a party that did tunes like this?
Does anybody else think that this is like a really far fetched episode of “house of cards”? I read the explanation by the woman from channel 4 news as to why they are running with the story now and it was pathetic ! I bet if the Lord was gorgeous this wouldnt be news !
They should have another go at his expenses as well.
A thieving groper.
absolutely. absurd leniency from all three parties will ultimately bite them in the arse –
expense fiddler = dodgy character = loose cannon
Will the police be old fashioned and wait for a complaint before they investigate?
We will deal with it as we always do
Sorry George, but it’s dealt with like this now.
http://www.bexley-is-bonkers.co.uk/miscellany/police/corruption.shtml
Do they really listen to office gossip and then decide if an offence has been committed, the federation will be seelling novelty cufflinks again soon !
This groping business is terrible and all, but with Bunga Bunga being voted back in once the Lib Dems have been buried can we please restore sexual reality ?
It is hilarious, in my opinion ! the women who complained come over as hysterical teenagers, and why didnt this come out before there was a by election ? Where is Alistair Campbell these days, by the way ? Innocent face.
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.
I’m so successful that the Debt is more than doubling to £1.5 trillion during my watch. More than all the total by all the other Chancellors in history put together.
Aren’t I doing well, Dave.
Mervyn’s forged £375 billion already, so we’re half way to funding my £800 billion overspend.
Four, Seven, Two, Elventeen, Twelvety.
I can count superbly, and anyone who says otherwise will get their heads flushed down the Commons toilets.

Calm down, @OwinJokes, we will have this newspaper closed down when I am in Power.
Questions for this creature and entities like him :
1. Are you now or have you ever been a member of a socialist organisation?
2. Who do you hate and when did that begin?
3. Whose side are you on?
He’s a symophobe.
A yw’r Owen gwisgo stilettos? O’r uchder benysgafn gall pontificate ar bopeth. Mae trueni ei fod yn gwybod dim. Dim byd, ac eithrio sut i ymddwyn fel Prat Cymraeg o’r radd flaenaf.
roughly:
Does Owen wear stilettos? From that dizzy height he can pontificate on everything. A pity he knows nothing. Nothing, except how to behave like a Welsh prat of the first order.
Is he known locally as “Jones the Gob”?
4. Why doesn’t Owen Palsy-mouth go and live in fucking Tower Hamlets if he loves them so much. Maybe he could arrange a gay mardi gras to help forge cultural ties?
Jones is the shape of things to come if Labour wins power,politically correct shyte from him and his homo friends.
Is 0-win Joan Potty Loynbee’s love-child ?
Nothing outbiles the grauniad though. It’s the daily wail of the left.
Agreed. They both pander to the prejudice of a readership with a massive sense of entitlement.
Or as gorgeous George would say, two cheeks of the same arse.
I will lend you my lawyer.
Don’t forget me as well Handy. Jahbulon.
Whoops!
Tomorrow’s Daily Hitler leads with fresh allegations against Lloyd George.

Righties are full of surprises. Were I a tory, the late 30s would probably be a period I’d not be keen to revisit. Probably why I’m not.
I’d love to visit the 30s with a presentation of what useful idiots like Jimmy and his fellow travelers forced on this country.
The only problem is we would probably not bother entering the war as a result. Awkward.
I have that sinking feeling that another rightie pretend history class is in the offing.
You have that sinking feeling because you have been holed beneath the waterline – again.
Not waving but drowning.
a lord a cardinal and a lib dem leader all f’ucked in one day..who would have thought it
Have you got the pictures to prove it?
(Or is it all on one picture?)
probably happens every day, just that we know about today.
Does that beat a Full House in poker?
LL G hung like a donkey – serial philanderer, two ‘wives’ during his Premiership, wins a World War, and still has time for other men’s wives.
One of his conquests was his daughter in law.
So in other words like BoJo, only competent.
He mistook her for a sheep
Lord Beaverbrook knew my father.
And Lloyd George probably knew Lady ‘brook’s beaver, but that’s a story for another day…

That puts me off more than anything. I can’t see how they can complain that these tobacco adverts glamorise smoking.
Bestiality as well at Eton nowadays! That’s all inclusive multiculturalism for you — all tastes catered for in my PC paradise.
Well, I’ve heard some of them are “hung like horses”; is that what you’re referring to, Cousin Vinny? Anything else you’d like to tell us, oh Great One?

I never knew anything about any specific or general allegations of any improper conduct either now or in the past. Honest.
I’ll leave this here, because of a lack of any general contact address.
Stop spamming my personal email.
I did not subscribe to the dozens of notifications, and have been into settings and ended them, but they still keep arriving.
Wise chap. Keeps his shirt tucked into his underpants. Slows down Dave’s shirtlifter mates very effectively.
Judging by his (carefully retained ) accent, he isnt welsh. He comes from somewhere oop north.
Chris Bryant wasnt wearing a shirt in his gay dating site contribution, just his “y” fronts. A shirt would have been good.
Is Lard Rennard related to Lloyd George, one of the foremost Liberal gropers ?
My daughter “knew ” Lord Rennard
Still counting in !taly, Lombardy is the lynch pin.
Looks like Center Left has lower chamber, Center Right (bunga bunga) has the Senate. Seat differences are very slim, but Mont! + Center Left is not able to outdo Center Right + 5 Star (!talian UKIP)
having humped the entire political class so many times clearly berlusconi has no intention of hanging his bollocks up just yet.
“TV presenter Jon Snow ‘abducted and sexually abused’ as a child.”
I must have been singularly ugly.
Ah! That explains the festering self-hatred, manifested through trying to force leftist propaganda on the entire country under the guise of ‘news’.
The socks remain a puzzle, though.
As does the ties, but the expensive suits – a different one every day – is de rigueur for rich socialists.
I think they need a special crime squad setting up for that lot, WESTMINSTER YARD.
Westminster “Back” Yard?
Rolling heads!
This is worrying me. I want to see only people of total integrity in both Houses of Parliament.
Well at least the cover up of Gordon’s inappropriate economic behaviour continues to go well.
Lord Rennhard knew my father.
My father knew Lord Rennhard. No, no I don’t believe it!
Have you seen his wife?
We have seen horrors
But OMG….
LibDems – the party of Ming and mingers.
When a Lib Dem gets arrested, do they get an orange in the mouth as well as the handcuffs?
No need to arrest. Just do a Duggan
Get the darbies on him!
Has the Boy Clegg done a John Stonehouse? An urgent answer from any sightings is requested
He’ll probably turn up smelling of …. anything but roses.
Just keep him away from greenhouses and little pricks.
Anybody seen my canoe?
I have reported Lord Rennard to the Powlice
Because he shagged me with his socks on
Lords should take it all off to perform, don’t you agree?
My Johnny didn’t.
I bet he didn’t drop his strides either in case his belly overhung and he couldn’t see where he was putting it. There again had he done so, where was he putting it?
Doesn’t your police force have anything better to do than chase white elephants around Westminster?
While the banks, lawyers, accountants and Russian oligarchs are pillaging Britain?
And thousands die in hospital thru negligence and worse
Are you all so decadent that just want to see the police disappear up their own assholes rather than try to stop the mayhem?
Yes. The worse it gets the sooner comes the backlash.
We are very, very busy seeing if anyone’s phone messages have been listed too and checking lasagne for hoof prints.
If you have a murder or robbery to report please redial and press 1, then #, then press 3,and say “I think our police are wonderful and should have bigger, earlier , pensions.” You will then receive a no-crime committed number.
And if you have OCD, press 2 over and over and over again.
Please do not press 2. That is reserved or emergency blue light situations.
Such as fetching the pizza, rushing home to catch match of the day and responding to a code 45.
{code 45: police horse subject to sexuality question.}
White elephant, he’s in the pink.
Hello, I’ve got a little puppy in my office. Would you like to come up to my office and stroke it?
That’s not a little puppy, milord, it’s your tiny cock.
Latest projections: Berlusconi or Bersani need 5 Star (Grillo / !talian UKIP) to form a majority in the senate. (158 seats is majority)
Center Left appear to have won lower house.
Mont! appears to be toast.
Talk of super coalition as well: Mont! + Center Left + Center Right vs. 5 Star: Obviously that would not work.
Still counting though.
Will it lick my pussy?
Wormwood Scrubs doesn’t have enough cells on Rule 43 to house all the Lib Dem nonces.
Thing is locking Limp Dims up with a load of sweaty randy men would be like locking kids up in a sweet shop.
Allowing for inflation, that will be Rule 45 now!
Tonight – Channel 4 news
A liberal democrat accused of a misdemeanor spends years denying any impropriety took place.
I think I’ve seen this bulletin before.
Meanwhile, nobody gives a flyin’ fuck I’m on trial again, on account of all this nonsense over ex-hubby’s old friend sticking his hand where he hadn’t oughta. And that’s a lesson for you all. Nobody cares. Nobody. Not even Guido. The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on…
Rennard was instrumental in denying Huhne the party leadership. He disallowed some late ballots, giving Clegg victory.
The timing of these petty revelations is an extraordinary coincidence, don’t you think? I wonder who can be behind them.
Anybody; you don’t want to be in front!
Come Sir, you cannot possibly be casting nasturtiums at a soon to be jailbird, Shirley not?
It seems to me that peers can lie steal and rob the taxpayer with impunity
Buy when a peer slips his hand in a fillie’s knickers he is treated like a seriius criminal
Odd way of dealing people and revealing….
Look on the bright side, they are never going to get prosecuted for thieving, but their overweening arrogance then extends into touching-up people that they think cannot fight back.
Back in the day, the song on the coach home was:
Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me
Oh Sir Jasper do not touch
Oh Sir Jasper do not
Oh Sir Jasper do
Oh Sir Jasper
Oh Sir
Oh !!
C4 News shit stirring in Eastleigh this evening.
Michael Crick – what about a follow up to your Andrew Mitchell piece.
http://twitter.com/search?q=east%20leigh&src=typd
Nicely and succintly put, you really need this when you’r trying to relax.
Hypothetical question – If you have your fingers crossed when you deny something that happened, does that make it ok?
Was that the 11th question we had to ask the judge?
They wouldn’t be complaining if he was a catch.
Double standards.
On the train to Sussex Owen Jones just did his impression of Tony Benn to cheer me up. Quite creepily accurate.
Your impression of Shirley Williams is a showstopper, dear. Don’t hide your light under a bushel. You’ve got the dead eyeballs and invincible smugness down to a tee.
Steady on Bert. Laurie is a victim of Shirley’s ejoocashun policies, so do try to make some small allowances here and there.
It sounds as if the Met Police just want to make it look as if they are doing something in case they are criticised for not doing so.
They will kick in some journalist front doors just to make it look like they are doing something. Fat idle useless corrupt cuunts are plod.
hahahahahaaaaa clegg you thick wanker
I am very much enjoying this.
Vote UKIP.
REASONS NOT TO VOTE UKIP.
Marta leaving, and the above liabilities. UKIP have been making a few unforced errors recently.
Bit like The Tories’ biggest donor who has stopped funding the party after privately questioning whether the Prime Minister is still a proper Conservative and because he promoted gay marriage when it was never in the manifesto.
I wonder who he will give money to now ?
Nothing wrong with the Ham!ltons : They were stitched up before and are a nice image to project.
Marta they are better off without: Big relief for the party, and saved them having to ‘fire’ her.
The UK should take note of !taly. They have just voted in ‘!talian UKIP’ aka 5 Star Movement, who will be forming coalition likely with the Center Right.
This is a situation which could occur in the UK at next GE if the UKIP trend continues. Hoping they win this Thursday as that may help trigger some defections from the faux Tory party, and perhaps bring UK GE and that referendum a bit closer.
I know nothing about the Ham!ltons except the brand is toxic. UKIP would be wise to steer clear.
Vote LibLabCon for more uncontrolled immigration, more lying troughing MPs, more Liverpool care pathway, more Stafford hospitals, more windmills, more subsidies to wind and higher electricity prices, lower pensions, mansion taxes, more off shore tax evasion for big business friends of politicians, more bedroom taxs, higher public debt, bigger public deficit, more MPs just biding their time in uk government until they can get their proper job at the EU on £500k pa all tax free, more gold plated pensions for politicians, more investigations into easy pickings individual tax payers, more 5 million Bulgarians and Romanians, more terrorists we can’t deport and who hate this country whilst getting bigger houses and court orders stopping people protesting outside their new house.
This country is being ruined by the political elite of the LibLabCon, they juggle jobs between themselves in quangos and public bodies with eu jobs at the end for the ones who tell the biggest lies.
It has got to stop.
Time to give UKIP a chance, vote UKIP, get UKIP.
Vote, Yes, yes !! Vote ukip !!!
and the UK equivalent is that big fat hippo Adele.
Gawdddd, what a country
Well fine but when are these same police going to come clean over plebgate. You know that incident they told loads of lies and caused the resignation of a government official. Gone all quiet now heh? Bet nothing comes of it and it will be quietly forgotten.
Before plod stick there fucking noses into anything else then clean up their own rotting cess pit. That also goes for the cesspit of the BBC.
Guido will probably get this going again. I’m sorry to say the Police are now viewed as untrustworthy and Labour stooges.
We need to know why is happening in the Andrew Mitchell case and there should be no cover up.
Some reaction from the !talian street:
“I hope Berluscon! wins. It would mean a relaunch of the economy, which has been blocked by Mont! and the centre-left. There is a bit of anti-politics around, represented by Gr!llo. Whoever wins must change the way of governing !taly and not obey the Germans,” says G!useppe Luca, 58, owner of an antiques shop.
“The euro is not a good thing. The sooner we exit the euro the better,’ he said
—-
“If the projections are true the country will be ungovernable. For us this will be the worst. I voted for the PD,” says union worker Ferruc!o F!orot, 58.
“The crisis is evident. We need to make the country grow, put money in people’s pockets so they can spend. With all the unemployed this downturn has created, industry failing, even food spending down, how can you say this is not a crisis? If we don’t do something we’ll end up like Greece,” he said.
—-
“We’ll vote again right away. I just want a just government. We are in total crisis, they brought us to the worst situation since after World War Two. It’s disgusting. I’m going to move to Tener!fe,” says construction worker !sabella Doltav!lla, 42.

#Fact check #Channel 4.
Millions of poverty-striken Bulgarians want to move to Britain.
In a nationwide poll, a total of 54 per cent said that they would LIKE to escape their poverty-stricken country and seek a better life here.
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/376733/Millions-of-poverty-striken-Bulgarians-want-to-move-to-Britain
And they are a little bit angry as well right now, so likely will follow through on that desire:
http://rt.com/news/bulgarian-protests-cheaper-energy-372/
The Bulgarian government was forced out last week, and recall the gun incident from January.
Kill all the old grannies and grandpas whenever they visit hospital, and give their council flats to the lovely new uneducated Bulgarians and romanians.
Its simples really.

Just to remind you I confirmed on Guido that we (our Gov’t Dep’t) have done projected estimates of the forthcoming numbers of Rumanians/Bulgarians coming here from Jan lst 2014, five million, and all the ministers having seen them (including the Clegg) are sh*t scared by them.
Their answer, pretend the estimates don’t exist, stick their fingers in their ears and sing “la la la”, they haven’t a clue what to do and as I previously said are relying on limping along until the election 2015.
The gorilla issue. Unable to see what is in front of their eyes. This person thinks he has the ability to change planning and cure all the issues.
Deluded.
Aren’t FactCheck a Common Purpose front ?
If Italy walks out of the EU next month, we could follow suit the following and then all these foreigners will not be allowed in and Barosso and Rumpypumpy can take a running jump. Why is everything so difficult these days?
*following day
The BBC don’t give up do they? Some mong on News 24 was ‘suggesting’ that this whole Limp Dem grope thing and Clegg’s lies are in fact part of a big Tory plot. I honestly kid you not.
Have you EVER heard anything so fucking stupid?
But the BBC have peddled this line all day, Radio 5 have totally ignored the Clegg issue and instead turned it into a story about middle aged men groping, fine for the men haters at Radio 5 like Derbyshire and Campbell but a load of bollocks.
The BBC are also desperate that Labour are doing so poorly in the by-election, no surprise to anyone with a brain but of course to the BBC they just don’t get it.
If anything this is a Labour plot. However, it is Lib Dem problem which was going to come out sooner or later.
The BBC are a hostile information source.
We’re just following Ed’s orders.
Have the Police issued a crime number yet ?
Once that is done the whole thing takes off.
What is it about Eastleigh which makes them immune to the death-siren wail of Labour?
Small public sector headcount? Higher than average IQ? Does the place look like England rather than a patch of the subcontinent?
Whatever it is, can we manufacture it and spray it over the entire country?
10 million Bulgarians will fix that followed by 20 million turks
Damned oik, sheer impertinence, I’ll have you horsewhipped.
I never lied when I categorically denied that I’ve never not been entirely upfront about the allegations.

“EXCLUSIVE: Met Police in contact with Lib Dem officials to “ascertain if criminal activity has taken place”
‘er………… no point in them asking Clegg then!
Just which libby dem can say yes or no to the criminal activity?
Could be a danger here if lies are told that obstruct Police?
██ ███████.
What news of Mrs Pryce’s retrial?
Are the jury out considering their verdict yet?
Wot’s a verdick?
No. Prosecution has presented most of the case. Going to finish off tomorrow before handing over to defense.
From reporting I saw, seems like the judge is giving a lot of directions to the new mob. Advice like, only consider what you see here etc.
Hasn’t yet had to try and define reasonable doubt, but its early days.
So Huhne will be in prison for the by election then.
Verdict unlikely to be returned before Thursday.
Huhne’s sentencing will happen once this case has been successfully tried.
Like any normal LibDem, I’m going to stick to cock in future.
Any relation to Dr Liam Fox is he?
I would be very surprised.
Looks like Euro is selling off now.
5 Star appear to have a lot of seats and will determine balance of power for coalition as neither Center Left or Center Right have a clear majority.
Mont! (Center) has been slammed.
Got the full Monti, did he? Bloody good.
It is obvious that the Tory press are trying to discredit the Libdems in the run up to the Eastleigh byelection.
That’s my boy, you tell ‘em the beeboid truth, we can dedact the rest.
Toenals, toenails when will you give up being so biased your hammer and sickel emblem is showing.
If he changes his tune he will be kicked out of the Beeb – and then WTF will ever employ him again, especially on 200grand a year? Just take everything he says with a large bucket of salt – or change the channel – or use the off switch and do your bit towards saving the planet.
Channel 4 have stopped even pretending to be unbiased. Despatches just shown typical disbility claimants in danger of losing benefit as paralympians and war heroes.
Bloody hell 8
Stop bleeting about fucking overweight Liberal tosspots .
Its kicking off big time in Italy .
Short the euro by the bucket load and then find some more buckets .
Its going tits up I tell you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a good result: For !taly.
La Stampa is quoting Beppe Gr!llo (5 Star / !talian UKIP) as saying:
“I am tired. In three years we have become the No 1 party in !taly. Nobody can beat us. The government? The only solution is a PD-PDL alliance” – an alliance between Bersan!’s leftwing Democratic party and Berluscon!’s rightwing People of Freedom.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/25/italian-election-results-live-coverage
Germany is probably preparing to get out the Euro ASAP now. This result credibly questions !talys commitment to its sovereign debt and the Euro. ECB is underwriting both at the moment, and Germany underwrites the ECB.
!taly will hopefully calm, unless the left decide to kick off. Spa!n, P0rtugal, Gr3ece and !reland will be looking with interest, and there could be some anti-austerity protests big time very soon.
UK should also keep an eye.
UKIP is viable, as 5 Star has just proven.
German federal elections due in September, Merkel may have just lost.
Anyone with a braincell wrote Merkel off two years ago.
It hasn’t been certain, but from mid 2011 has been much more. Each step now is just another nail.
At least she was honest about multikulti being a complete failure in 2010:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11559451
But then opening the doors of Germany to Span!sh and Gr3eks was an ill advised move based on good intentions.
Putting the German economy on the line for the otherwise unfunded ECB obligations, and Euro, will be on the peoples minds. Inflation must be ticking up in Germany now, and this is a sensitive issue for most.

A German mate of mine confides that the citizenry there are becoming highly pistov about them having to keep handing out hard earned cash to their feckless European “partners”. The bubble is about to burst, and it could well start with Mrs M and her party being given their P45s in a few months.
We could well be hearing that old Vera Lynn favourite “Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye” ringing in our ears!
The other – and probably much easier – solution would be for the Huns to exit the EU and its currency. Then it would be all over by the weekend!
Left wing nutter IOS on Political betting posted this about Eastleigh . look closely as this is how expectations management is done as the Labour party slithers over the line in 4th place
12% would be very good for Labour. Suspect the reality will be closer to 6%-
Unofficial Lib Dmn statement (if they had any sense):
‘It is regertable that these allegations were not investigated at the time nor subsequently put through presrcibed grievance procedures or in that case of criminal behaviour, why they were not reported to the Police at the time? The unfortunate women involved clearly feared for their POLITICAL careers and chose to keep quiet on to whom the advice of ever they complained at the time, rather than properly escalating the issue.’
Sorry, Rennard may well be a dirty old fecker but why has it taken 4 years for these victims to come forwar?. He’s hardly Al Capone. If he sexually hararssed them then there are proper procedures to follow and bugger the consequences. What is more important, your minor political aspirations or a life scarring event that festers for years or a criminal assault which, in the intersts of future potential victims should have been reported?
Let’s hear some proper allegations and reasons why they have taken so long to be made before we allow this to dominate more important news…like losing our AAA crdeit rating that by coincidence seemed to happen at much the same time….of and also the Eastleigh Election.
If it were news every time a women who was groped at some office do and dominated the news for days, that would be all that were in the news. Difference is, most of these women would knee the dirty fecker in the groin, go to the police, go to thier union or start grievance procedures. There is always a way even if you are given advice to keep quiet. If it is that bad, you don’t keep quiet, you shout out, name names, cause trouble and don’t look back.
This is because we can, no matter what others may think. We have a voice, male or female and the longer we keep quiet, the less credible we are. If nothing else comes of this let it be that if you are assaulted, sexually compromised etc for the sake of your job then speak out loudly and straight away.
You are Max Clifford and I claim you’re worth your money.
LOL…No, wish I has MC’s money though.
Just some bird who has spent a long time in the Civil Service and seen a lot go on, been a union rep, heard all manner of tall tales by those, male and female, who wanted payback or were persuaded to put in grievances years out of time to cause trouble. Am just very cynical.
Am not saying that there isn’t something to this story, just that it has taken an awfully long time to come out and the victims were politically savvy enough to be socialising with the likes of his pigginess the Lord of Rennard. I have never had such a privilildge but then have never been politically motivated, so may be it’s easier to be quaffing cheap chardonny with the ugly yet powerful than it may seem. I just think that anyone who runs in those circles must know who to make a complaint immediately, whatever Danny Alexander or anyone else told them. It wasn’t in 1973…. it was this century. I have put up with office do groping and just puched the buggers or got them punched, quietly with the understanding that they never did it again. At least one had been given an OBE latterly. Would never name names now. It was too long ago and I felt that for the sake of an univited fondle, the matter was dealt with.
And I’m just an ordinary, not at all political person.
Always report corruption.
Yet, I also say that to report a crime against a public paid official, is the best way to understand fully the corruption of the Police, Ministers, MPs, Judges etc. Once a person has seen what lengths these people will go to, to silence a whistle-blower, it is clear that it is never a viable route.
Yet it must be done. Every time. Only then will it finally expose the corruption. The times are changing. Those that have abused their position are well advised to look back at their actions and inactions. Look at Italy today.
Have been down that path, have suffered the consquences..eventually, but don’t regret anthing I did to expose corruption. If it couldn’t be dealt ith in a quiet car park, then off to the tribubal court. And yes, you may suffer later, but at least you know that you spoke out and that the individual concerned would certainly think twice about doing the same again.
I might add that I have never, personally, taken a sexual harrasment case to court…as I said, I have a fist or a knee to deal with that ( and at the time a reputation to go further if fist or knee didn’t send a strong enough message).
But the message is, don’t delay. Report it ASAP otherwise your motives will be questionable.
Although, in hindsight, I did quite a lot of whistle blowing and never got caught for it. It was all about how you did it. Where I got caught was through mandated union action. A lot of damage was done, and my motivation at the time was wasting tax payers money (no, really). I was fighting a political NU-Lab ‘Imperative’ which, whatever way you viewed, it was expensive, unnecessary and pandering politically to the EU (or specifically the French). We won in court but years later I was taken down over a technicality. I still don’t regret the fight we put up, even though untimately we lost because we lacked the funds to go to appeal. By this stage the Union were no longer funding (they have a cut off amount) but the members themselves. The opposing department employed a QC to fight us. We had already spent hundreds of thousands of or own money and couldn’t afford to put up in the court of appeal against a QC. So the tax payer paid the price that we were trying to save them.
I moved on but that particular case never left me. I will never regret what we tried to do, no natter what it cost me in the end. Always be willing to fight where you see or exerience wrong being done. In the end I got hammered but it took years before they found a way and as I said, I would still do the same again.
Needless to say, when they offered voluntary redundancy, I as out of there. I may be jobless now and seeking one of these public sector jobs Gideon assured us would be out there, but whatever, I know that when compromised, I fought back, swiftly and credibly and would not raise issues gone by unless they became a political imperative again (in which case I stored all DPA and FOI requests…LOL)
Looking around the press in Europe a common theme which is uniting people within their own countries at present is discontent with corruption they now see in public office.
Curiously that unity is also uniting people against the EU and pushing them towards nationalism.
Intrigued by what flavor you could have been currying with the French, or how that could be a good thing. Not a request for detail.
I do recall that Ch!rac and Bla!r used to spar elegantly.
The spat which started in 2002 over Bla!rs criticism of French farm subsidies which led Ch!rac to try and undermine Bla!r in Europe is good example. Ch!rac interfered with Germany, tried and failed to oppose !raq (freedom fries in US ?), and humiliatingly had to back down in the face of Cheney.
This showed Bla!rs deft touch as a statesman.
Ch!rac, wise and cunning but did look beaten when the French referendum of 2005 voted down by 55% the treaty for the European constitution.
The EU was going to go ahead regardless, but Bla!r sagely counselled no. Str@w cancelled the UK referendum, they repackaged the thing as Lisbon and Br0wn signed that against all advice.
This also ignores Cher!e Bla!rs attacks on Ch!rac which arguably helped the UK win the 2012 Olympic bid. Even though in hindsight one must think that the French were very pleased with that result.
Only mention that as am trying to figure where currying favor with the French fits in with nu-Lab.
@NBW
The issue with the French was regarding borders not an offciall secret was sangatte sitiuation and what we traded off. It would have been cheaper just to have taken those asylum seekers and left it at that, not traded it off for new legislation which in it’s fullest sense is not in the public domain as far as I am aware.
I say this because subsequent questions were asked in the house (and I must explaiin here that it by then it involved the Belgians as well) about flaws in the legislation which we had flagged and were ignored which as far as I know, up untill 2011 were still causing a problem of national security. The Lib Dems (Ed Davey at the time as ‘shadow foreign sec’ fpr LDs) flagged the question and was put down with a crass answer from Chris Bryant, European minister at the time and completely ignorant, it seemed that France and Belgium were actaully different countries. It was pitifful but such is the procedure of debates, Bryant rubbished the question that the matter had been resloved and that legislation was in place that covered Calais???? Calais is in France, the question was passengers embarking in Belgium but as Bryant was summing up, his geographical ignorance was never challenged so Mr Davey’s question remained unaddressed .It was known as the ‘Lille Loophole’ and was a way of entering the UK bypassing any checks, passport, customs. or special branch. Without going into detail, it is recorded in Hansard
My Davey had done his homework on the issue. Chris Bryant still had problems identifying France from Belgium. I am not aware of whether some deal with the Belgians has been made to resolve the problem. The ‘Calais’ issue which Chris Bryant was aware of was a trade off for taking the Sangatte asylum seekers. Last I heard we had no such offer for the Belgians regarding the problems of passengers embarking in Brussels with tickets to Lille (i.e. within the Schengen area) and not disembarkimng until London. This remained a problem until I left the service in 2011.
Ed Davey did his best to get this flaw in security addressed but such was the Nu-Lab imperative to set up ‘juxatposed controls’ that such issues were ignored. AN FOI question now about how many have illegally entered the UK using this method would be interesting. I did all I could to highlight the issue at the time and subsequently regularly saw that what had been predicted, so had become true. It was a worry from a security point of view. I am no longer paid to care.
Although I still do. As an immigration issue, it was minor compared with what arrives in the backs of lorries. From a national security issue it is a worry. Only the Lib Dems cared about this threat and were put down by a man that didn’t know Belgium and France were different countries.
That makes sense. Cheers, I shall do some digging in Hansard.
Numbers of illegal people entering is one interesting question. Illegal firearms and other contraband including undocumented children is much more interesting.
From the perspective of people and child sex trafficking (UK is a known endpoint, Holland / Belgium notorious transits), in these enlightened times the geographical ignorance is incredible.
The Lille loophole sounds like a gift to true. One hopes that someone from our side was keeping an eye on that side, but even so, to your point much would have slipped through.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16058860
@ FOI – I shit it
Yes…when I heard about that I laughed so much I nearly lost a bit of wee (I’m of a certain age).
The person who told the British Officers to try and unlawfully intercept Schengen passengers also gave permission to the French PAF to carry firearms in the UK without even consulting Special Branch Officers working in the same area. The residents of Dover, for example, were never aware that armed French Police were strolling around their patch on the say so of a fairly minor Civil Servant who then went on to overlook the whole Lille Loophole and the subsequent arrest threats from the Belgians. French speaking colleagues, whom this manager used to use as an interpreters, reported back that they had to leave meetings as what she wanted them to say to high ranking French Officials, was so offensive that they couldn’t carry on. The lack of diplomacy left the UK with no choice but to agree to whatever the French wanted (like taking all the asylum seekers at Sangatte, for e.g.). If the Border had remained in the UK and the Carriers Liability Act enforced on Eurostar and Eurotunnel as it was on every other airline and ferry compnay, then none of this would ever have happened. In the late 90s, Waterloo International saw more asylum seekers arrive than any other port in the UK, peaking at sometimes 100 per day. All past history now, but all covered up so as not to jeopodise the whole channel tunnel operation. At the time, the initial legal aid bill per asylum seeker was 10K. Do the maths. You were the tax payers that paid that legal aid bill. All that would have stopped if Eurostar had been required, like any other carrier, to check that someone travelling to the UK was properly documented. Other carriers paid millions in fines under the Carriers Liability Act. Eurostar briefly had it imposed for services from Brussels (for complicated schengen related reasons) and it worked, but the ball to move the controls overseas was already moving. It was Blairs baby and nothing would stop it thriving. The brief sucess of the CLA imposition on the Belgian end proved that if it had been applied across the channel tunnel operations then all loopholes would have been closed. Instead the tax payer spent a fortune on moving the controls abroad and whilst the deluge stopped on paper, no one ever knew what slipped through and the cost of keeping British Staff in apartments in Paris and brussels was immense.
They were so, so desperate to get these juxtaposed controls in place they would have agreed to bloody anything.
And as I said, only Ed Davey and a few years previously, Humphrey Mallins, attempted to ask questions. And Mr Underpants Bryant, who could have taken action, chose instead to not bother to look at a map of Europe and decided that Paris and Calais were in the same country as Belgium.
Nick Clegg = Fucking disaster
David Cameron = Fucking disaster
Ed Miliband = Fucking disaster
Who have we got left?
Is Mong a synonym of Fucking disaster ?
Surely the ‘fucking disaster’ is down to their respective parents?
In fairness we are all disasters eventually in politics for no-one can sustain an excellent ministry. Absolute power corrupts…. However we have yet too see Miliband’s disaster roll into action and at the moment he is anything but in the mainstream media. I love it when one of Humphrey’s plans bears fruit and give more jobs for the boys in Whitehall.
That socialist twat Hollande is now saying he is not going to meet his 3% deficit target for 2013 so he is going to ask his EU partners for more time .
Cameron should stand up and say loud and clear the deficit reduction plan is non negotiable and Monsieur Liberté Egalité and Fraternité can sling his hook .
There are ten months left to 2013 for fucks sake.
Hollande is taking advantage of the result in !taly.
Austerity and being held to account kind of got voted out of the Eurozone today.
It will be interesting to see what der Spiegel goes with tomorrow.
So did staying in the Euro…
But Mr Hollande said that the Euro was through the worst .
And you believed him ?
He had another ‘truth’ about 75% tax fixing France’s finances.
Frau Merkel should invade the twats and set them to work and this time we’ll side with Germany.
Polly is remarkably quiet. She is usually the first to howl and scream about such anti wimin issues.
This has “<nothing” to do with the fact that these women have done the wrong thing and are trying to bring down their party.
A story about adopting a homeless puppy may not help Ed or Clegg in the UK, but they should consider it.
UK needs to pay attention to this. The left / center left bias which has afflicted the LibLabCon can be put in its place. UKIP is the solution.
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/02/20/uk-italy-vote-nightmare-idUKBRE91J0UB20130220
Mr Berluscon! has demonstrated how the Conservatives can make themselves electable. Getting shot of Cameron / Osborne and finding some people with a bit more flair is pre-requisite though.
The rumors of leadership challenge should begin to materialize now. A ‘PC’ leader is not required, but with major donors leaving change is required.
5-Star show that a party like UKIP can get into a position for commanding a coalition. They have come from zero to running the country in < 3 years and minimal funding. Its all about the message and policies being in tune with the people.
I’m doing a Philosophy course at the moment & came across this quote today from David Hume;
“People often have motives to lie,as when they have an interest in what they affirm.There are advantages to starting an imposture among ignorant people.Think here of politicians.”
Might have been designed for Clegg & most of the others of his ilk.
So,nothing much has changed since the 18th.century.
Isn’t he the fucker who said if you increase the money supply in a country without a corresponding increase in output you end up with inflation .
I am not aware of his sex habits but, when you look at the Weimar Republic, you might think he had some justification.
@UH. Well done for studying something really worthwhile!
Did you see his caveat? He says in An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding: which, though seldom, is sometimes the case suggesting that we are actually worse of nowadays that in his times.
But note also Aristotle on Tyrannical Individuals in Nicomachean Ethics here:
His ruling passion and the other desires that take hold alongside it will need financing. He will spend all of his income, then his capital, and then he will rob people. He will also take his parents’ estate, by fraud or violence if need be. His passion will drive him to do anything, and his former ideas of honour and dishonour will be no restraint. If there are many people like this in a society, it will turn into a tyranny, as the criminals pick a leader and the people in their folly submit to him. The tyrannical character will be the perfect specimen of injustice.
Something familiar even in the 4th century BC.

Sounds like Aristotle was thinking of Tony Blair & quite a few others.
I must admit I’m struggling with Philosophy. It makes my brain hurt.
I’ve just finished a course on Astrobiology. That was really good. I have more of a scientific bent but my maths is terrible.
My next might be economics as I don’t understand much about that.
Is it a college course?
Everyone who studies philosophy struggles with it. I would suggest that, if you didn’t struggle with it, there would be something wrong with you. You are reacting as I would expect any serious student of the subject to.
My wish is that I had studied it professionally. Instead, I became interested some 30 years ago and just read through the complete corpus of first-rank writers, slowly and painfully, often wondering why the hell I was reading it. Then I attended conferences and took a quantum step forward. I began to see things through others’ eyes.
One thing I have discovered: The more I learn, the less I know. I find that curiously comforting.
It’s an online course.Coursera.Give it a google if you’ve not heard of it. Lots of bite sized stuff.Wide ranging subjects.
Thanks with your words of encouragement. I must try harder with Philosophy! It certainly makes you think & view the world with different eyes.
Odd that so many PPE grads from Oxford turn into strange politicians though.Mind you Modern History seems to have a great deal to answer for too.
I suggest you try to attend some philosophy conferences at your local university but take care with the subject. I would not go to one slanted towards linguistics which is very dry and barren. History of philosophy is another good route in. Russell’s History of Western Philosophy has a huge sweep and is excellent from the ancients to the German idealists but falls away very badly at the approach of the 20th century. You will find that some will scoff at this sort of book but I found it an excellent primer and roadmap to the subject. You can tell you are making progress when you start to murmur: I don’t think you have handled that part thoroughly enough, Bertrand! No names but a certain someone connected with this blog has read it…
But absolutely nothing beats taking to others directly. Don’t be afraid of saying you know nothing. That is what Socrates said after all! Most will be very kind although you get the very occasional prick, as anywhere in life.
Why learn?
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
The less you know, the less you forget
The less you forget, the more you know
so why learn?
There is no such thing as forgetting.
You just didn’t remember successfully in the first place.
The more you learn, the better you learn to learn.
Be stupid – die quicker.
Be wiser – live better.
I studied it as half my degree couse…..nearly 30 years ago. The other half was Latin and Greek Literature.
Philosophy was a piece of piss compared with the other. You just had to light one up, inhale, write some crap, read it out and forget about it.
And that’s about all, really.
What it really teaches you is that when cornerned in an argument, you can always bullshit your way out.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time at the BBC, it’s that a good reporter must never allow himself to be distracted by the truth.
You’ll have Jeremy ‘TaxPlan’ Paxman’s job at this rate

UKIP can repeat this in UK – Fingers crossed for Eastleigh.
Anyone who watches the biased broadcasting bullshit company are idiots,this lot of left wing assholes prove day by day what their agenda is all about and it is not about unbiased reporting of the real news.
Cammoron should if he had any balls/political knowse whatsoever have disbanded this load of tax grabbing tossers to the dustbin of history.
Instead he is prepared to put up with their plain for everyone to see their continual attacking of anything other than their left wing/commie agenda,which we the long suffering licence payer are being ripped off for.
Cammoron please grow a pair and bring this lot to their cake and milk.
Re Cleggover and Foxy the plot deepens,Cleggy is suffering complete loss of memory so it seems,the story still has legs and it is not going away anytime soon.
What is the plot here as to who wants Cleggover replacing?.
Someone may want to stimulate an early GE to ensure Labour get in.
Keep an eye on David M!liband, Jack Str@w, Mandels0n and the Wats0n smear machine.
The unholy thread which runs through LibLabCon is more visible.
Clegg is being sacrificed at present, or so we think. Very sp00ky.
They have figured out that dragging the Cons through the mud leading up to 2015 is not going to guarantee the agenda wins the election.
The BBC say the people who left London over the last 12 years left happily and willingly because they wanted to live by the seaside.
Could there be clearer proof of the BBC’s total dishonesty?
Funny that (Blub 206) when everyone who buys here as an escapee from London says “We couldn’t stand it any longer, immigration has turned London into a third world crime filled hellhole.”
yeah weird innit
1. Build giant wall around central London.
2. Throw in every sanctimonious lefty multi-culti-propagandist in the country.
3. Seal wall.
4. Laugh as they get their noses rubbed in their own shit, over and over and over.
The hilarious pay per view CCTV footage would more than cover the cost of the project.
that would be fair
Yup, put me down for a tenner.
I would like to live by the seaside.
Nice to see that EUSSR feathers are being ruffled by the Italians elections.
Eastleigh bye election could produce a surprise I hope,could be that electors are so pissed off by LIB/Con/Lab lies decide they have had enough of crap lying politicians.

Who wants to bet lefty marxist mong P@ul M@son will be reporting from Italy claiming that the “right” are beating up immigrants whilst the left are handing out soft kisses and lots of love?
He can try, but it would be a lie. He will be called as P@xman called him out on the Greek reporting some time back.
This is what is actually going on:
He should report that the left may have done better if they had chosen Renz! as leader rather than Bersan!, but 5-Star are now biggest party by number of votes counted.
Mont! has been crushed.
Quite a few people with Guy Fawkes masks pictured in the rallies

Lord Rennard: fresh questions for Nick Clegg over the sex scandal whistleblower
Nick Clegg is under mounting pressure over his handling of the Liberal Democrat sex harassment scandal after it emerged that a pregnant whistleblower was forced out of the party and made to sign a gagging order.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/liberaldemocrats/9893927/Lord-Rennard-fresh-questions-for-Nick-Clegg-over-the-sex-scandal-whistleblower.html
And a reminder of some lefty propaganda re: UKIP:
http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/02/ukip-party-bigots-lets-look-evidence
In a democracy, all parties are electable. It is up to the voter to decide which are and which are not, not the media organs of the opposition.
I really hope this leads to Clegg’s downfall. He is such a smug prick.
You’re stealing my moniker again.
and mine.
Who’s more odious, Prescott or Rennard? I know it’s tough, they’re both so fat and gruesome.
Fat Bastard #3 Tom Watson hard charging, closing in fast on the outside, he may pip ‘em at the post. And fall over from a heart attack immediately thereafter.

I’ve been watching this documentary on ITV about Ayelesbury prison. At one point one of the prisoners attempts suicide but the staff stop him. Why? He clearly wasn’t happy and he’d have done us a favour. They should’ve just let him die.
They probably stopped him because the cameras were there.

Nonsense. Gaulke is woeful
Bullshit! he let the stupid woman (aren’t they all?) finish her hissy fit and then carried on as normal.
You feminine brained twat!
Thought that she was going to get hysterical…notice that she had quick glimpse at the camera, though, when she was carrying on. What was that about?
Just checking to see if Millitwit or Balls was still giving her the thumbs up from behind the camera.
David Cameron’s official spokesman declined to comment on the Rennard affair, but said the Prime Minister regarded harassment of any kind as “unacceptable”.
Hardly, since he supports harassment. Ignoring harassment complaints is the same as supporting them. I bet no one told Cameron the result of ignoring the complaint. No one would dare. Ignorance is bliss until the truth is known.
Leon Brittan?
Never heard of him.

Berluscon! (PDL): 117
Gr!llo (5 Star): 54

In Lower house center left has 0.38% majority over center right.

From the markets point of view this is worst outcome. !talian bond yields likely to go up tomorrow, Euro may go down.
President will now call upon parties to form a government. If they cannot there will be a fresh ballot. Having a new vote is unpopular option.
5 Star got the most actual votes in the Lower House, and second highest number of votes in the senate. Abstention rate was quite high, but there was a 75% turnout about 5% down on 2008.
Been in the metropolis today ‘doing things’ – it’s still a 5hithole.

Merkel is toast
Leather is a lot easier to clean
LOL just thought, this could be the second time the Italians have done a 360 and fucked the Germans plans. WW2 and now the Euro.
Dumb Krauts never learn.
I think it will be Spa!n’s reaction which will cause the most direct grief for Germany, particularly if they haven’t got their Span!sh sovereign exposure significantly down from where it was a few years ago.
Spa!n has been protesting a lot over austerity and corruption in government:
http://rt.com/news/spain-protest-austerity-corruption-347/
This result in !taly may inspire them to throw the government out, either by demanding an election or by force. Not sure if there is a Span!sh equivalent of 5-Star Movement yet, but there will be by siesta time tomorrow.
This observation makes your historically rhyming WWII point more complete.
Next we will see Germans flooding to Poland and Czeck Republic looking for work. Sw!tzerland has already been securing the borders.
Spain could go seriously left. Izquierda Unida (United Left: Commies & Greens mostly) has a strong presence.
I believe the liberals and their elites are losing it all over Europe, various counties will drift off to the far right and to the far left over austerity and coupled with the on going debt crisis tear the EU down.
done a 360?
Maths not a strong point then!
Postal votes coming in:
Eastleigh Council say 8,500 of 14,276 postal votes issued have been received so far. This is ~11% of total electorate voted thus far, 59.5% of total postal electorate.
These would likely not reflect change of voting intention due to C4 Rennard coverage. A sizable number would have been made before the discharge of the previous Pryce jury.
To compare the by-elections of Nov 2012:
Rotherham: ~50% of total votes cast were postal votes, with turnout ~33%.
In Croydon North, ~5,300 of ~19,200 postal votes issued were received, about 6% of total electorate, and 27.6% of total postal electorate.
It will be game on in Germany soon following the !taly result.
Here is a good backgrounder on Merkel:
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/angela_merkel/index.html
Market reactions: Brent crude future off by $1, and oddly TOCOM rubber futures have fallen by 3%. With Berluscon! getting back into power perhaps one would have expected an opposite price move for rubber.
Downplaying expectations in typical Ashcroft fashion.
Low-turnout is the Conservatives biggest issue in this type of by-election. LDs voters are probably more fervent and will more likely be inspired to vote.
