Help Stop Lord Puttnam
Britain’s infamously draconian libel laws have made London the libel tourism capital of the world. They are one of the reasons that this blog’s server is in California; the publication takes place in the US, under the protection of the First Amendment. It may be of little difference to Guido, but one of the few noble acts of this government has been the Defamation Bill, which would finally bring about much needed libel reform. Step forward Labour luvvie Lord Puttnam.
Puttnam’s wrecking amendment is a naked attempt to force through the failed Leveson proposals. He is calling for a “specialist arbitration service” that would require newspapers to to sign up to a new regulator. Underpinned by statute, naturally. Sound familiar? Hacked Off backing the move is hardly the shock of the century, they have deservedly lost a lot of friends as a result. Index on Censorship, who campaign against freedom of expression abuses around the world, are worried. They tell Guido:
“While the Defamation Bill has been through 3 parliamentary committees and has the backing of our 60,000 supporters, Puttnam’s attempt to introduce Leveson by the back door was debated and passed in 126 minutes. The government has got to take the initiative, get the Defamation Bill into the House of Commons and then MPs will need to show their constituents whether they back the draconian Puttnam amendment or not.”
Puttnam is trying to kill libel reform. You can tell him and his Leveson-loving, press freedom-hating cronies where to go here…
Hahaha!
I always wonder what hides behind a fuzzy wuzzy beard
Is this one of the treasonous swine that turned the UK into an immigrant swamped cesspit?
Yep.
Looking at the photo, are you sure it isn’t Handycock?
Have Lord Puttnam and Mike Handycock ever been seen in the woom together?
Now the Huhnes have gone through the court syste, Brooks and Coulson’s turn http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/mar/08/rebekah-brooks-andy-coulson-bribery-charges it has taken them long enough in both cases, It’s all starting again for the NI crowd, your new boss is not going to too pleased
I have never heard anyone say that to me at dinner
We in the cockroach party are hearing that people are saying that it is a bad thing to call ourselves cockroaches. Now I don’t know whether that is because of the implications of sex and drugs in the words ‘cock’ and ‘roach’ respectively or what, but our critics should think on this; we could be called the lice party, or the party of tics! Now I think that would be far worse, because those insects are parasites and we are not like that at all, oh no.
can’t seem to be able to find the Harry Enfield ‘Labour is for Lice’ sketch – has it been blocked?
Yes blocked by the BBC on ‘Copyright Grounds’ – just that one! Plenty of others there.
Funny that init?
Vote Dynorod
Yes, but you can get things moving. the Libberlabbercons don’t seem able to
You can always trust an unelected Labour Lord to meddle and fiddle.
Note he’s a lawyer too, his plans would bung more money to him and his colleagues. Brazen conflict of interest. Grubby.
How many ‘jobs’ has this c_nt got? Thought he was the ‘genius of British cinema’? Now the shit’s a lawyer as well! A perfect example of the over paid and over praised establishment elite. We should be stringing useless twats like this from the lampposts. And Chariots of Fire is shit.
Done the sending to a Labour MP – so who knows.
Can we have a similar message to ensure that “Lord” David Putnam get no more labour handouts and is never on BBC or any other media?
Thought not. Saviour of British cinema? You must be joking as the old wrapbag has had his hand in Labour’s till from day one and nought to show for it.
Wasn’t Chariots of Fire funded by Dod! Fayed ?
Lord Puttnam has been embarrassed by a newspaper in the past and obviously still resents it.
Have Puttnam and Handycock ever been seen together? Could they be related in some way?
In blue movie together more like, the beardy c_nts.
It tickles!!!!
Mind bleach!!
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the Member of Parliament a town called Streatham
In west Nigeria born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Streatham”
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Streatham Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Streatham the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don’t think so
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for the MP of Streatham
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said “fresh” and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Streatham!
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby “Yo, homes smell you later!”
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the MP of Streatham
Genius!
We have to remember that amongst our ‘honorable’ MPs and Lords labour were four times more likely to have committed fraud than any of the other parties.
Quite clearly labour are anxious to get back to the days where they can trough off the taxpayer in secrecy without fear of being exposed in the press.
Could you put a picture of Handycock the Teen Fondler alongside do we can tell which is which?
Boaz ill be Boaz.
Loverly, put the stupid fucker back in his box for another year. To think that disgrace of a man schemed, plotted and bullied his way into No 10.
There was another great put down on brillo last night when Portello shut the ranting halfwit johnson up, that is also wwll worth viewing.
Will look it up, cheers.
Johnson suffered the indignity of being openly giggled at by The Cheeky Girls
That guy on the left looks as if he’s smelling a bad smell
Pity the camera was not on Broon when he so rightly was chastised.
You can always rely on our ruling classes to protect their own interests of which gagging the press is one facet.
The left; liberty and freedom of speech what a joke
What was it Stalin called the left in the UK -” useful idiots” and nothing has changed since the early fifties.
Ain’t the ultimate crime now discrimination?
So un-P C there can be no explanation
Or excusing away of its degradation
Well, now, killing the old and sick of the nation
Ain’t the N H S’s sole preoccupation
When it comes to sexual orientation
The unborn, too, face preferential damnation
And reluctant disclosure of information
About who it is behind the termination

I don’t recall voting for Lord Puttnam
I don’t recall you ever telling me that
Nobody has brought it to my attention – specifically.
But it was in the background
I’ve signed mine but I don’t hold out mich hope: Jim Dowd MP is as much use to democracy as a flacid cock in a whorehouse
I was right. Message returned by server. Stupid ****er
If you think he is useless you should see Michael Fallon in inaction. I gave it a try anyway.
Come back McCarthy, all is forgiven……
Yep, I was right all along.
What is a senator?
I haven’t had a single specific complaint that Joe is a witchfinder for communists.
Joe is very well suited to a role with the Spanish Inquisition.
Gordon Brown was supported by Ed Miliband and Ed Balls. Although the two Ed’s now deny support for Brown, they did in fact agree with Brown’s policies e.g. the increase of the 10p tax rate.
The latest from labour says they got things wrong over immigration. Labour have consistently slagged off the coalition over immigration.
Labour’s latest ruse is to try and spin away from their mistakes and try and pin all that goes wrong on the coalition.
Labour are fools and liars. Just how can anyone trust Miliband, Balls, Cooper, Harman et al? Labour are a joke.
Not many of the lying fcukers in the HoC to hear their great leader’s annual diatribe.
Wonder why that was?
I’ll bet it got to McMental he will brood on that till it festers, and seek revenge.
Revenge carried out by his servant Tom Watson.
I have never heard of Tom Watson
I saw you running last night Vince.
Boy I’m glad I aint competing with you, YOU ARE FAST !
How is it that all the failures from the last Labour Government are still on the shadow front bench ? why should people vote for them in 2015 when its the same shower who got us in to billions of debt ? new faces are needed, but its probably too late. To watch Yvette droning on about immigration yesterday was hilarious !
Stupidly I watched QT last night.
Dimbleby was really on form, continually interrupting the Daily Mail woman and Ken Clarke. He let Crowe and Twigg rant on without interruption, in fact Crowe said the same thing each time he spoke.
Dimbleby is the chairman, not a panelist. Dimbleby should shut up, and not be so blatantly biased. The BBC should find a new unbiased chair person.
We own the BBC.We do exactly as we wish.
I’m afraid I can’t recall being told that
Q T, ain’t that summat to look forward to?
And Dimplesdungbeetle there, stirring the stew
They ought to give that old crap a health warning:
Mind your head don’t turn inside-out from yawning
Interupting the woman from the Daily Rail. well he is a naughty little boy and should stand in the naughty corner
He got broadsided when Bob Crow said he wanted out of the EU though.
When evil tory scum answers, point camera at teenage lefty girl questioner so she can be shown shaking her wise young head in disagreement. Cf answers in PMQs
Piss of Puttnam you fucking nazi
All following orders from Common Purpose.
Who are Common Purpose? No-one has ever told me about them.
A nasty quango pretending to be a charity?
Your “pod” is waiting Vince.
Common purpose the organisation created by lefties run by lefties for lefties.. Heavily subscribed to by Joyce Thucker and the Rotherham reds.
HEALTH CARE REFORMS APPEAR TO BE IN GOOD HANDS
The British Medical Association has weighed in on the new Prime Minister David Cameron’s health care proposals.
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had a sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception.
Ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted.
Pathologists yelled; “Over my dead body!” while the Paediatricians said, “Oh, Grow up!”
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
The Surgeons were fed up with the cuts and decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The ENT specialists didn’t swallow it, and just wouldn’t hear of it.
The Pharmacologists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, “This puts a whole new face on the matter….”
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
The Physiotherapists thought there should be more movement and flexibility.
The Anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, but the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the arseholes in London.
Actually the Podiatrists wanted to toe the line
The Paediatricians thought the whole idea was childish and the Paramedics said it was just an accident waiting to happen
Farage is looking dodgy today. Taking lessons off Neil Hamilton maybe.
Farage wants to merge Tories and UKIP and be the new leader?
Can’t see that happening
Thought at first glance it was a picture of Handycock.
Send him to mid staff.
Its all a Zioloons plot
IMPOSTER
I can’t remember if I tied my own shoe laces this morning.
I have consulted my Diary and it is confirmed that I did indeed tie my shoe laces this morning.
Don’t you mean your personal records Vince?
I have no recollection of ever saying “I have consulted my Diary and it is confirmed that I did indeed tie my shoe laces this morning.”
Is that not Mike Handycock teen fondler ?
Today is International Womens Day. I would like to give some advice to all married women. Be very aware when your husband starts having lesbian friends who are twice your size and is a member of the LibDems
First I was afraid I was petrified,thinking how i’d get along without you by my side,
Then I got the house and kids plus the car on our drive,I will survive I will survive
hey hey
This is a message to all disaffected LibDem MPs
I am putting a new circus together, and you can all come and work for me. My rates of pay are excellent – Each of you will get a grain of rice a day, and exercise machines are provided for all the members of the circus.
Must be able to work harmoniously with fleas and ticks.
How much did Putters make from tabloid sensationalism of Jade Goody?
You don’t get any protection from the first amendment – you aren’t a US Citizen.
Yes you do.
If a server is in the U.S., it is protected – irrespective of where the information, on it, originated.
As far as I’m aware, that is.
Useless luvvie
Separated at birth Puttnam & Handycock
The Puttnam left luvvie would be better employed presenting : Helen Mirren in the role of Vikki the Greek on the London stage .
