Ken let the cat out of the bag about Ed on 10 o’Clock Live last night:
“He is genuinely a socialist. And that is why I am delighted we finally got one because we haven’t had one for some time leading the Labour Party.”
Private Eye says:
Exclusive: Guidogram going out shortly.
First!
FFS, stop spamming every thread with the same video.
its me
Old git, younger blood neede there.
Roger at work today fighting green hysteria:
Stuart at work today on our no balls government:
Oh here we go, another “Controller of Content” then.
Who appointed you?
We did
The truth about Cameron hurts eh?
Be thankful Toxic Taffy has gone away.
he’s not asleep he’s inspecting the back of his eyelids
“Britain is full up”. Good job it wasn’t full up when her ancestors fled from The Pale!
Well it is now.
FFS keep quiet you clunt.
No you weren’t..
If he returns his salary for that day I think that might appease his constituents, it is not going to help UKips image, troughers all
Don’t blame them, if I had to listen to that drivel day in and day out I’d of lost the will to live years ago.
Don’t worry the Germans will scrap all this when they realise they’ll have to bail out the whole of Europe with their taxes.
But they keep on taking the money, don’t they?
Troughers one and all
Germany is the EU’s “company store”.
I second that – I would have topped myself long ago.
Not as dozy as Ed Miliband.
I honestly don’t know why you just wasted 15mins of my life listening to this innocuous interview. It does nothing to show Miliband in either a negative or a positive light. A total non-post.
Ed’s a total non-entity.
A blank sheet of paper.
You miss the point. Ed’s happy to just sit back and watch the Coalition, led by Cap’n Cameron, slowly implode.
He has a lead in the polls without committing himself to anything. It’s a very clever strategy.
Pleb you are correct there, why let slip any useful policies when Dave is ready to grasp any reed in a storm
You seriously think the shadow front bench have or are capable of any ‘useful’ policies? Hahaha funniest thing I’ve read all day.
Thanks for confirming that Ed is indeed a blank piece of paper
Do you think the fact that Ed M came off, as you say, neither positively nor negatively, might have had something to do with Ed M’s essential vacuity? That he is, in sum, a displacement of air, and not much else?
Hilarious.
Laugh? I nearly started…
UKIP if you want to the lady’s not for sleeping
Sorry, lads, I was really tired.
Bunch of lazy feckless c.unts the lot of them, regardless of shade.
They bring the scrounging class into disrepute.
Be reasonable….it must be really hard work completing your expenses claims
Best thing to do. Sleep through the nightmare.
If only Gordon had slept through his 13 years of misrule
I don’t believe in Gordon as a literally existing human being. I think of him as more of a personification of chaos and nothingless, like Persephone or Fenrir.
Or Zorro the gay blade
Obviously at that moment Herman Van Driver was going on about how wonderful it is to be a part of the EU..
+1 They can’t do anything to help us here, the rest of the chamber is occupied by the Commission’s claque. Let them snooze on and keep the powder dry. A means may be found to spoil Emperor Van Rumpo’s day at some time in the future.
Lose some weight Fartbot.
Especially, we need to spend a lot more on bariatric care.
Why did Labour deliberately mislead people over WMD?
It was a disgrace.
And more people died as a result of the illegal war, than died as a result of Labour’s mishandling of the NHS.
Would that be the ‘illegal’ war that the Tories supported?
But they didn’t have the real facts unlike Tony Blair.
Please stop beating me with this illegal war nonsense
Saddam repeatedly violated the terms of the 1991 ceasefire and action was long overdue
WMD anybody? no? … HAS ANYONE SEEN ANY WMD’S???
He did not violate the terms of the 1991 ceasefire.
She’s right. A large number of the current Labour front bench should be under arrest.
Fatty Flabbot wants more West Indian nurses.. bollocks to that where are those Scandinavian sorts we asked for?
You can still find them on certain adult video sites
On the subject of “Naughty Nurses,” is the video An Enema Of The People still available?
No, but you can still get Schindler’s Fist and Shaving Ryan’s Privates.
She needs to lobby Cameron into visiting the Caribbean and telling them our borders are open to all of them.
Dave would love a holiday in the Caribbean but unfortunately he is a bit worried that the awkward squad will usurp his leadership
I’ll chip in a tenner towards his ticket…
They’re not misleading people about NHS spending, it’s gone up. In my opinion though, they could do more to point out how much of the NHS Trusts’ budgets are now swallowed up by PFI commitments made under Labour.
Guess what Goverer is going in for more PFIs under his new schools plan, don’t these clowns never learn
Just about all of it, last time I looked.
How do you know they are misleading, have you got some form in this sort of thing,Lardass
Roger Helmer has been an MEP since 1999. He was a commited supporter of the EU but believed that our relationship with Brussels needed to change. He was a reformist. He later became more euro-sceptic but, despite this, refused repeated requests to join UKIP. Sometimes, his replies were less than complementary about the party!
So why did he jump ship? It all boils down to a sordid row over who was going to succeed him in the East Midlands. Helmer was planning to retire and wanted Rupert Matthews, his friend, to replace him. Tory Head Office had other plans! They felt that Mr Matthews was unsuitable. They also felt, quite rightly, that Mr Helmer should not be dictating terms over his successor. The farce continued with Mr Helmer threatening to remain the MEP unless he got his way. Head Office refused to budge and let it be known that Mr Helmer was ‘extremly unlikely’ to be re-selected as an MEP candidate in 2014. Helmer’s gamble had failed and so he jumped before he was pushed.
So there you have it. Helmer’s defection had nothing to do with ‘seeing the light’ as one UKIPPER has put it to us. Helmer joined UKIP to spite
Oh well bums on seats.. I am sure the Tories isn’t full of fucking hangers on is it?
Why should Tory central office be deciding who the candidates are? Shouldn’t that be for the local membership, rather than some c*nt in CCHQ who thinks they need another female or ethnic minority face on the team, or the son of some party bigwig?
to true.
All the parties HQs indulge their bigwigs and HQ squddies, Lib lab & Cons, they consider it a right of passage, it gets the local party committees very annoyed and upset, it wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t so blatent.
You are talking out of your arse. Still, it makes more sense than when you try it out of your mouth.
He farts before he thinks
Matthews is not only his mate, but was next on the “list” – CHQ wanted someone more glamourous, A-listy and a little less nerdy – so Matthews was being unfairly treated.
Now personally, I think that the List system is anti-democratic, which is probably why Bliar so readily signed up to it for the Euro elections. It just allows the parties to put placemen in Parliament, rather than allow the electorate any proper scrutiny ( ha, there I go being idealistic again ). But anyway, those are the rules and Tory Hich Commasnd try to circumvent them.
Is there no end to lists of Blair selling Britain down the drain
No!
Letter by President of the European Council
Herman Van Rompuy to the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzö Abe
commemorating the second anniversary of the 2011 tsunami
The earthquake followed by the tsunami that devastated part of the Japanese East coast two years ago is deeply engraved in our memory and in our hearts. The European Union and its Member States immediately mobilised resources to support the relief efforts. We also grieved with the Japanese people whilst admiring their resilience and fortitude. The scars are still painful, but Japan has shown its capacity to recover and to move ahead to the world.
Today, I wish to reiterate the European Union’s deep friendship for your country and solidarity with its people and government. The European Union is at your side, as only standing together can we confront effectively the challenges of this globalised world.
Today is a day of remembrance and mourning, but also of hope. Hope in the capacity of mankind to unite in moments of fear and pain and together overcome difficulties and build a better future.
Please receive, Mr Prime Minister, on my behalf and on behalf of the European Union, my deepest feelings of sympathy and solidarity on this anniversary.

PS Send money
Solidarity this, solidarity that, solidarity the other, solidarity blah, blah, blah. The useless commie talks like someone from the politburo in the 1980′s.
He is someone from a 1980s politburo!.
Today I will mostly playing Money Macine by 2 Chainz, bro.
Oi Rustbucket– how about doing Chain Of Fools? Y’know– the song about your upper-level management?
In fairness, it’s hardly riveting. 1000 people wanting to take about how the agreement on the display signage for tuber vegetables will impact on their nation. Talk about it in their own language. In politicians language.
Makes the House of Commons debate on fabric softener container packaging look like riverdance.
The only conversation in Parliament now should be about eliminating the deficit.
We have just passed a bill that states that any immigrant employed as a ‘coronation day flag seller’ can claim full self employed status and all the rights that go with it.
That is all
Don’t knock it, I signed on as a lamplighter!
I am a self employed pick pocket and only claim child benefit for my 27 under-5′s which I am fully entitled to do so.
If Parliament produced food rather than legislation it would be a Findus lasagne.
More like Ikea Almond cakes.
Not really that good for you, and full of shit.
But not, of course blakc pudding, cos that would be wacyst innit…
Shame they fell asleep here. Lara largeffoldenson , MEPs for Sweden, is just getting to his main point,
“In summary..who likes short shorts?….we, the people of the European Union…we like short shorts! ”
Providing , as per section 674/k . sub para b5. no less than 21.67 cm of fabric material is used when measuring from waist to leg
But what about preserving our national shorts with a slit up the side?
Neil..ze short shorts must be of the very short design. And made of the leather. With the straps, ya?
Yahwol
I am frankly shocked by this. We should be outlawing shorts, which exploit wimmin and offend Europe’s wonderful and ever-growing I slamic community.
Give that man a burka
Give that burk some manna
Give over – we have more than enough cover-ups going on at the moment…!!
But the material must be sourced from an EU stipulated source, contravention of this ruling will result in actions specified in article 145.23 subsection 12 of the complicit materials charter, which states that the offending manufacturer must ensure that material used in the production of short shorts is within the EU regulations article 456.a sebsection 65……zzzzzzzzzzzz
I refer the honourable gentleman to post #11.
The very name ‘shorts’ is highly offensive to persons of restricted growth and in future these garments must be referred to as fabric-economic high-ventilation thigh coverings.
Rough night, I suppose?
Perhaps Neo can expand upon the subject? (About Helmer, I mean– shirley you didn’t think I meant our deputy host would know anything about rough nights?)
+1
Glad that the job of defending Britain’s sovereignty has been entrusted to such capable men.
Any idea what they are missing?
89% of their brain cells.
Which still means they have more than me.
* simper *
What sovereignty are you on about? The one that was given away years ago by the LabLibCon party?
Dont mention the truth here please.
If I fell asleep at work, I’d probably get sacked.
You work in the Private sector then?
He’s an airline pilot.
He’s a mattress tester.
“Ze cucumbers must comply with a maximum radius of curvature of no more than 25 cm, while ze bananas …” etc etc
Would they be male or female bananas?
Could someone give me a hand ?
Whilst grammatically correct, a fist would be more appropriate.
while ze bananas . . .
That third banana appears to have some sort of unpleasant faecal stain on it – has Gordon been getting his weekly treat, I wonder?
yes. id like to know how much this snooze is costing the Tax payer?
The money comes from the Eu budget so taxpayers pay nothing at all.
Providing you are a taxpayer in Bulgaria or Estonia.
Or an employee of the EU with your own EU subsidised taxes.
A budget which takes £53,000,000 a day from UK contributions.
I believe this MEP,is giving the European Parliament,the full, undivided attention it deserves….Well done!!! ref now…..
Aha gotcha
http://fxbites.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/no-argie-bargie.html
If only Gordon had slept through his time in office.
He probably fell asleep during the European tractor statistics report.
Could be that herr Schulz has turned on the ‘tap’.
Vote UKIP.
Vote LibLabCon.
And Chucky can hardly wait for them to become large businesses and successful entrepreneurs, so they can be demonised and then taxed out of existence by the comrades.
What a cnut.

Bloody hell what a fine collection of political prats
The three of them are so unalterably middle class how very fucking dare they speak on behalf of the workers?
So andre, you’re off to score a cheeky gram of charlie?
They once sacked a guy where I work for nodding off in the afternoon.
They would do.. he was driving a bus at the time.
He was on a warning for the same thing in a Airbus 380
Friends of Roger?
Sounds like a Sin to me
New voting proposals from Emperor Rumpey.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/9924390/British-tradition-of-voting-on-Thursday-could-be-overturned-by-Europe.html
More EU bollocks.. piss off Herman Van Aerial Disease, keep your fucking hands off of our democracy.
Can you blame them, when they are bombarded with Euro rubbish on a daily basis.
Whereas Ukip want a referedum on the EU, the Tory party like to pretend to give one in 2017. Just like the one on the Lisbon Treaty.
How dare you infer that I would renage on a promise. I have stated categorically that there will be a referendum in 2017 ( but not before you understand, as that would be impossible ) if the following proviso’s are met.
I am still PM.
The Conservative party are in power.
There is not an ‘R’ in the month.
Aston Villa win the Champions League, beating Oldham 7-1.
Pink Unicorns are spotted on Tower Bridge whistling ‘Ode to Joy’.
What could be clearer?
That could be the HOL except there’s too many in attendance and the seats ain’t red.
You could never accuse the bbc of being pro-lib dem. They ran their news last night with the most ghastly picture of Pryce imaginable. It actually gave me a fright.
Is the trial over?
“He must be dreaming of a time when we are no longer there.”
He isn’t all there.
You’d know all about not being all there of course Jimmy.
Anyone who employs Huhne after release should be made a pariah themselves. He shouldn’t be allowed to make money from his crimes. Instead, he should find a role which is insignificant, worthless and demeaning. He should become Lib Dem leader.
. . . and deputy PM
Leader of the conservative party,surely….
Don’t laugh. If you were as old as a kipper you’d be doing the same.
The blokes asleep and yet still manages to look more alert than the Labour farts.. and somehow more attractive than Miss Amy Rutland.. but that isn’t fucking hard, I once saw a pigmy hippo in a zoo having a good old shit.. it was still more photogenic than that little brainless ranty brat.
I always need a nap after a long night’s sleep.
How can we tell?.
Is Guido guilty of perverting the course of commenting by using moderation?
No, stop whining you ponce and try again.
You are anonymous, so fuck off arsewipe face.
The BBC are pushing the blame for Savile on to the police. The BBC are scum.
Typical lefty pass the buck behaviour.. absolute bastards!
But it is the polices fault, they are the ones who let it continue perhaps because they were at the same thing.
Any marriage where one partner completely dominates the other is a marriage doomed to fail, the UK has been required to change just about everything to stay in the Europe Marriage, our money, electric wiring colours, measurement, the list goes on and on, others can I am certain add to the number of areas where we have had to alter our way of life.. but where is Europe has anything British been adopted as a European standard.
Our timid leaders would have us believe our voice is heard and makes a difference but judge by actions and nor words, it is we who have to change, every time, not them.
In simple terms, that alone is UKIP’s appeal to the voters and as for Cameron’s Promise of a Referendum, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, the man is unelectable.
I agree completely, I cannot understand peoples blindness when it comes to the real truth behind the EU and it’s all encompassing agenda, from teaching pro EU propaganda in schools to awarding massive lucrative contracts on British soil to non British EU companies. If you can’t see what they are doing to this country and it’s people you must be bloody blind.
How the fuck do we stop it!!!!!
Support and vote for UKiP, thats how!!!
The British People need to wake up!
Wake up EU….sorry guys…ZZZZZZZZ….ZZZZ……ZZZZZZZZZZ!
Do they get a Cell Phone in Prison ??
Triple Dip Recession, a weak Pound means we sell our goods for less, the materials to manufacture those goods, cost more, what we consume here in the UK causes inflation, what we sell overseas means less profit because of high material import cost = Triple Dip Recession.
Weak Leadership, Weak Government, Weak Pound

BREAKING NEWS.
The Rt.Hon Chris Huhne has been transferred to an open prison and in a couple of days will be released with a tag.
Lets hope Bubba has already married him by then.
Typical Windypendent article.. “two potential winners” no mention of UKiP.. the elephant in the room. and more bollocks from Owen Jones:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/labour-and-the-tories-both-think-theyll-lose-2015-and-they-cant-both-be-right-8529833.html
Well okay one mention but they seem to think UKiP has no chance in the runnings, a shortsided and totally arrogant misconception.
Thanks for the great pic, guys, and for the constructive comments. I was in the office this morning around 8:00 a.m., and I expect to leave the building after 10:00 p.m., so I’m not about to apologise for taking a few Zeds towards the end of a long speech. Let him who works more than a fourteen-hour-day cast the first stone.
Pesky voters. Always casting stones.
Catch this you old fart.
It’s hard work. Poofs don’t just bash themselves you know.
You’d know all about bashing wouldn’t you Jimmy, your bishop gets plenty of that.
Hey Roger, it’s good to see you kip! You kip!!! Geddit?? (c) Noel Edmonds 1743
British tradition of voting on Thursday could be overturned by Europe
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/9924390/British-tradition-of-voting-on-Thursday-could-be-overturned-by-Europe.html#disqus_thread
Not many seats occupied are there. At least UKIP weere there.
lazy bastard on the piss at our expense again no doubt. Or is he just excited like one ball Farage….
Faded, dirigiste, failed: the Euro Empire wit large …
172 , your comment is staggeringly rude. But then you demonstrate all that is now wrong with politics in general.
182 Anon if you think that is rude you clearly do not read thiss ite very often, and clearly dont read the remarks of UKIPers about others, or maybe you are just selective. Helmer, is and always was a prat, and a hypocritical one at that.
