Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

Who can we lynch this week before we are lynched Guido?
100,000 Iraqi men, women and children?
Lynch the eu they’re stealing money from bank accounts in Cyprus now, where next? Anyone with a Cyprus bank account will lose up to 10 % of their money. I hope the Russians who will lose millions retaliate.
A little known fact is that also happened in the balkans any solvent bank was accused of money laundering and forced into takeovers by dutch and german banking corporations,savers lost everything
The only people left with cash were those who stored it in safehouses rather than banks,ie gangsters and paramilitaries,you played a blinder Ashdown- a proper liberal
http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/DA51U64O0
Funny, doesn’t seem to be anything about this in the main-stream media.
Now, why would they want to hide it ?
It is being covered in Greece:
Legalized theft. There may be trouble from two angles.
i) Russia (but they may wear this)
ii) Turkish Cypriots: Who are looking to get formal recognition from !slamic states.
I launder my money through London
No problems or questions here
It is only second class Olirarchs who launder through Cyprus
Bloody hell. Everyone with dosh in a bank in Cyprus has just lost 10% overnight as part of the latest Euro bailout package.
Probably no worse than what’s happened in the UK as the government has slowly devalued sterling by much more anyway.
Not just the savers:

Ooh, you’ve really got bitchy since they started on the Mirror Mob.
Another week done and Albert still hasn’t pulled the lever.

What utter bally nonsense! “It is impossible. I can’t walk properly, I can’t stand, I can’t pick things up, I get dizzy with the brain tumour and I’m blind in one eye and deaf in both ears. It is depressing. What am I going to do,” she said. Well get a job, of course! I can’t have horrid little malingerers like her hanging around, I need her in work, paying taxes, so I can take those taxes and piss them away on foreign aid and EU membership, what what what.
This skiving pleb should buck up her ideas. £11billion of foreign aid each year doesn’t grow on trees, you know.
Toodle pip!
Sacrilege! Of course it grows on trees.
Saying money doesn’t grow on trees to a socialist is like saying there is no God to a Catholic or no Allah to a Muslim.
Money = Debt, Debt = Money
Borrowing more is the way to go.
‘Money’ should bear some relation to the amount of time and energy involved in creating it, not necessarily at the individual level but at the corporate level. That some few individuals seem to have acquired wealth ‘unfairly’ is largely irrelevant. Lefties just don’t seem to understand this basic law.
We will canada Camerons quislings.
Could of been worse.Could of been one of the 1200 needless old and vulnerable deaths in Mid Staffs who died on Labours watch.Many more to come out soon.
Perhaps she could get a job manning the search lights at the camps which need to be built for the immigrants who are otherwise taking the jobs.
Time to get properly tough.
For the love of God, I only just got the gig and some idiot Cardinal gives the game away.
“David Cameron ‘going out of his way to upset party supporters’, says Fleet Street veteran”
“The 52-year-old, who came second at last week’s Press Awards in the Political Journalist of the Year category, said: “There was warm applause and loud claps when I said, ‘Why does he (Cameron) go out of his way to upset people in the party? He goes out of his way to alienate his own supporters’.”

Oh do shut up Andrew
We know that any ideas you have are taken from Guido s blog
Polling shows Cameron is more popular than his party. As an enormous twat, I am less popular than mine. Perhaps you should concentrate on replacing me, rather than trolling about the PM?
Just a thought.
Taffy,the way England played their last match,i reckon you could be favourites
for todays’ match…Anyway,hope the teams play proper rugby,and its a good
spectacle,win or lose..Goodluck taff….

Cameron isn’t the worst PM ever, that allocade is Gordon Brown’s.
He isn’t even the worst Tory PM, that was traitor Heath. But granted, he is up there, near the worst ever. Perhaps Miliband will clinch the honour when he becomes PM?
Brown without a doubt was the worse PM of the 21st Century.The classic case of someone who was perceived to be an outstanding(?) PM in waiting by the media(let’s never forget how sycophantic the press were in the years 1997 – 2007 in regard to Brown’s prowess as the “best” Chancellor of the Exchequer the country had ever had in modern times….whilst all the time he was busy fucking up the economy) and who would shine when elevated to the Premiership and just like Eden who was for many years tipped as a future outstanding PM came to grief as soon as they entered No10
Thus the ‘Free Press’ have been telling & selling us porkie pies for decades.
I say what ! Great news from my EU Chums we have managed to bail out Cyprus with another huge chunk of cash from you British tax payers
Watch out for all those pot hole what !
Now where did i leave that sprog ?

Wot wot old man.Shame gordon flogged the gold stuff at a knock down price.What a financial genius he was.Ed adored him.x
Oh, did you get let off football practice by teacher this morning Owen?
After his going over by Hodges yesterday, it’s a wonder that our pre-pubescent class warrior isn’t still in his bedroom refusing to come out
That would be Dan Hodges doing the roughing-up, and whose column of yesterday was noted in a Tweet by Tom Watson for its citing of Orwell’s famous closing lines of Animal Farm about how the Pigs had become indistinguishable from the Men– I shit thee not.
Just aside from Fat Bastard calling attention to Orwellianism generally, to call attention to a column in which the concept of a pig walking and talking like a man is referenced, shows a pretty singular lack of irony on the part of that tub of slime. Does our “Thomas the ‘Rank’ Engine” even CARE how stupid he seems, to the average person who has more than a handful of operational brain cells? Guess not.
How about this one NoW, things are coming to light about from a wistleblower concerning the rag, I wonder why all that Mirror stuff was coming to light, someone was lighting a diversionary fire, your new master is not going to be too pleased. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/mar/15/phone-hacking-murdoch-news-world
It’s the Guardian wot should be looked at. They published many stories that could only have come from informants from within the police. But because they are Guardianistas they believe that is their right.
Have you read the article ducky, guess not, the old Tit and Bum for you I suppose or Geedo’s old rag the Star. These papers have all been at it but NI and Mirror Group seem to have over the top, why have none of them been done for bribing police, public officials etc the bribed ones are the only that have been bought to justice.
Be a little patient
We will start with Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson
There will then be a series of trials of dozens of other criminal journelists
Murdoch and his family will noe escape either
The Murdochs have got US citizenship now, the Yanks do not pass criminals on to other countries to be tried, unlike this daft country which passes on to US to be tried
To Old fella – something to ponder Washington DC. The DC could well be called a District Council – controlled by the City Of London Corporation. Some would say ‘conspiracy theory’ – but it’s worth researching. And the Bar Council – well … they operate all over the world from the Inns At the Temple – in …. wait for it The City of London.
And who runs all the Indemnifying Insuran.ce / underwriting for the Law Society …?
Wait till a few of the sacked granuad spill the beans when offered positions at the diggers rags.x
Now why would a jurno on the Guardian try to get a job on those rags, not every one is a Jamieson
How come the three main party leaders are just young boys and wet behind the ears?
It’s the young man culture, imported from the US 40 years ago, Cams is now well into middle age but he maybe still “wet behind the ears”
That’s why I keep Gideon on. He’s handy with towels.
When I visit here I’m told I’m a unique visitor.
I prefer the term, ‘special’.

I am a twat.
Awww, bless. You ARE our special boy, and that’s why we want to take care of you, before you hurt yourself. We KNOW you’d like to play like some of the other boys do, but you can’t, and I’m sorry, there it is, but it’s true. But then, they don’t like to do many of the things you like to do, Eddie. Everybody’s beautiful in their own way, as the song said when you and I were growing up. It’s not your fault you’re like you are. Now just go off and play on your own, there’s a good chap, and leave the politics and stuff to me, the one who is better suited for it…
Four gay weddings and Dave’s funeral.
Death Camp Commandant Burnham was on the Toady show his morning, twisting and turning in the graves of 1200 people trying to justify his inaction over the Stafford atrocity.
To hear him speak, you’d think that he was trying to justify some sort of office maladministration, why some paperwork wasn’t in order, and of course he tries to blame the Tories for the mess the NHS was in…and other people – it wasn’t him. He thick bastard just doesn’t get it…it’s the NHS in his simple Marxist ideology that is more important than the patients. This on the day when a new report says that the failure of Ministers to act is likely to have cost 20,000 lives.
No apology from Burnham, no hint of remorse, it was always someone else. This was an appalling interview. This c.unt has nothing to say on Health and no right to be in the job he is. He should be sacked and Muddleband needs to personally account for why he appointed him.
“More than 20,000 hospital deaths could have been prevented if warnings about high mortality rates had been acted on quickly, a government adviser has said.
Professor Sir Brian Jarman has accused ministers and officials of ignoring data on high death rates for a decade.”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21811368
Why is Labour so keen to shout hacking all the time? Which Ministers, which Civil Servants sat on the date?
12x the no of deaths at Hillsborough but Burnham tries to ignore Labour’s role.
Ah, c’mon, now, do try to get with the plot
Excellence these days is just what we ain’t got
Old Brits have been strictly consigned to the bin
That’s why they’ve let all these smart immigrants in
Getting rid of old, white English people would suit the Lablabcon just fine I would imagine.
the world belongs to the white english of old.
Nuremberg denial.
Why did he not just say that he was following orders from his superiors to hit completely loony and unattainable targets? It is not only politicians who ordered this callous idiocy need to be sacked and prosecuted – so should all those in the NHS ministry and the hospitals concerned who blindly followed it without taking proper action to have the problems highlighted. Gross negligence would seem to fit the bill nicely.
I AM A VICTIM OF THE PRESS.
Why did they (the press) not warn me that watching Hugh Grant is torture and Alan Partridge is not the slightest bit funny? I also feel that the press should have told me that going out on the piss every night and leaving the children alone in bed is not a good idea. And as for N@zi themed orgies, just what are they thinking of?
N@zi themed orgies – bliss !
Meet the Fokkers.
The Gay Fokkers?
I had such an easy ride this morning on the Today prog.Looks like im in the clear.1200 deaths on labours watch and not a single person reprimanded.Shame it never happened under Camoron.Knowing him i bet he will start a police investigation 6 months before the election.Thats what labour would do.x
Hasn’t the score just gone up to at least 20,000?.
Any advance on 20,000?
Righties love voodoo statistics.
As opposed to voodoo economics eh Jimmy?
No
Under Gordon Brown 200,000 new hospitals were opened
300,000 schools
400,000 sure start centres
500,000 community health centres
100,000,000 affordable homes
300,000,000 new roads
500,000,000 jobs created
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 happy citizens of the planet who love me!!!
I SAVED YOU!!!
I…..SAVED…..YOU !!!!!!
Sadly Jimmy the families of the of the 1200 that died on labours watch did’nt.They are dead people,not statistics.Milbum,Hewitt,Johnson and i should hang our heads in shame.
To be fair they were probably going to die some time anyway.
I am available to hear confessions, adjusts vestments.
No they are statistics, and fake ones at that.
Never heard of:
Professor Sir Brian Jarman, OBE, PhD, FRCP, FRCGP, FFPH, FMedSci. Emeritus Professor Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College, London.
Do keep up.
So, Hugh I have never heard of you, and haven’t heard of any big nobs in UKip except Farrage and the ex Con who moved to UKip
Indeed, and you will know from reading the Francis Report (which given the entirely genuine and in no way opportunistic concern for the NHS you all have I’m sure) you will know what a load of old bollocks these numbers are and why.
Tory cuts caused the deaths
Well, after Monday it looks as though the job of exposing the rank behaviour of creeps like Grant, Coogan and Moseley will be left up to us guys. Bring it on!
Looks like the dead tree press will be truly dead, the truth will have to out from bloggers, I’ve seen the future and nobody’s joking.
There’s too many fucking Tories in here. I wanna nut someone. Ok, I admit it, I’m full of self loathing and want to die.
There there, Momma can make it all better for you, if you just let her…
Me and Cletus done gonna spit roast Chrissy. That’s right, boy! We gonna git medieval on yo ass!
The Cyprus ‘bailout’ one hopes will get reversed tout suite.
All depositors in Cyprus are subject to a levy directly on their savings.
That is 6.75% for deposits $100k
There is an additional 25% levy on interest.
Additionally, non-institutional bond holders have effectively had their bonds defaulted on.
The announcement was made late on a Friday, after banks had closed, and there is now a freeze on withdrawals.
Greek branches of Cypriot banks are not affected by the withdrawal freeze, so if you hold money their it can still be got out.
The problems with banking sector in Cyprus were not caused by Cyprus itself, but rather exposure to mainly bad Greek debt.
It would have been better for Cyprus to follow !celand’s lead. It is likely they could not as they are trapped in the Euro.
http://pawelmorski.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/cyprus-a-brutal-lesson-in-realpolitik-2/
The real take away here is that in Europe your bank deposits are not safe.
It would be advisable to withdraw funds down to minimum where a loss of up to 10% (40% was originally being asked for) is acceptable.
In Cyprus, the only people who have preserved wealth are those who transferred their savings to secured storage. eg. Cash under mattress, or secured storage location.
Money is no longer safe in a bank in Europe.

Give the Falklands back, you British usurpers. And bring me a boy to bugger.
Now you sound like a Catholic we can like.
We had the Nazi pope. Now we’ve got the Galtieri pope who colluded in kidnapping and torture and wants the Falkland Islands again. Take your papal vestiments and stick them where the sun don’t shine. But first you have to remove the 9 year old boy you’ve got there.
“The Conservatives never been more up for the task of turning the country around” says Dave.
Can this be the fucker that is doubling the National Debt to £1.5 TRILLION
Can this be the fucker who is legislating for Gay Marriage?
This is all rather like blaming the guy who is trying to clean up the shit left behind in the stable and not the horse that created it in the first place
And Gordon’s shit does stink.
But I do wish Dave would get on with the job of disinfecting the Country from Gordon’s mess rather than get distracted with Gay weddings and funeral taxes.
I fancy myself in the 4 o’clock at Cheltenham.
I’m voting Liblabcon cos I don’t want the Conlablib to get in.
If you own a horse you are obliged to muck out or possibly get one’s minion to do it for you, if you are not prepared to do that, don’t own a horse
Seems to me the moral of the Cyprus Euro robbery is to hold gold rather than tacky paper money.
The Icelanders are laughing all the way to the Icelandic bank ever since Gordon declared them terrorists.
Word is that most of the $ are headed to Latvia now.
The lesson is not to hold cash in a bank.
It is fundamentally amoral to confiscate savings in this way: It is theft.
A final nail in the legitimacy of the Euro ?
Correction there never has been any legitimacy in the Euro much less the EU. The audited accounts prove it.
I can’t believe anything I say.
Like you said you would hold a EU referendum and like you didn’t say that you would introduce homosexual marriage?
Incidentally (and I do not believe it is) not holding a referendum and destroying marriage are both EU official policies, the EU is run by communists and trots.
Well Dave you are no Stalin, much harder metal
Boys boys boys
I’m looking for a good time!
Woof woof.
£10 in from everyone. The winner is the closest guess to the total the McCann and Dowler name is (ab)used by politicians in the Commons on Monday.

While that would seem to be the case, Minister, there are those who would argue the proper term might, with greater justice, be called a “death spiral.” Of course, it is your choice which term you apply, and it is a political one which your constituents and the nation have reposed their confidence in you and your party to work out for the best interests of all. I live to serve, Minister.
So? It is just mindless shit stirring by young Ed playing on emotions and scaring ordinary folk. If someone needs an extra room all they have to do is tell the council why and they will get the allowance required. If they no not need the extra room then the taxpayer will NOT pay their rent for that extra room.
It is simples and it is fair unless you live in Labour let’s frighten people land.
When can we expect Lord Justice Leveson’s investigation into the practices and ethics of the puppet show in Westminster ?
“Puppet Show” shouldn’t that be MUPPET SHOW
Dave should have just cut the fucking lot.
He and his ministers have jumped through hoops to try and make the cutbacks as fair as humanly possible but he should have realised that whatever he did to make them as fair as possible Labour would just stand on the sidelines throwing brickbats without the integrity and maturity to help.
It’s easy to govern when you are in Labour. You spend everyone else’s money with little care about paying it back because when people get fucked off and finally throw you out, you get the Tories, who take 5 years of shit, then the dumb electorate put Labour back in again to start the process all over.
You forgot about killing people on the NHS as well.
Liebour are the kings of the whitewash trade, if you listen to them spouting Liebour crap, you would believe they hadn’t been in power in the 1997/2010 reign of terror, if the braindead had any sanity they would steer clear of voting any of the LibLabCon in and look elsewhere.
This is the argument for raising the cost of booze, if we would but see it.
Our tender callow youth, like OJ, being corrupted by John Barleycorn!

Cyrpus: ATM Fail. Clock ticking for riots ?

Too true. Given the size of the UK economy vis a viz Cyprus, I suppose BoE’s Paul Tucker’s idea of Negative Interest Rates will pluck the goose as effectively as Cyprus’ confiscation but slower and less conspiciously.
Great idea! Let’s steal some money from savers and give it to borrowers!
Hey, they don’t call me the biggest twat in Christendom for nothing!
Peston has been fed a story about this Cyprus bailout saying it is only being done because the Cypriot Banks have been flooded with laundered money from Russia and this one off tax will someway rectify the matter .
Well what exactly have the hardworking EU Regulators been up to over the last few years as Cyprus has been a EU member for a good few years now and someone somewhere approved their membership application .
There seem to be quite a few wealthy Russians and other types floating around London so perhaps Sir Mervyn King will issue a clearly worded Press Release prior to market open that Money laundering regulations within the UK are being and have been strictly imposed since the Millennium .
This matter is far more serious than a few people protesting because the Government is no longer going to pay all their rents and Council Tax or indeed theintellectual arguments at the heart of Leveson .
you are feeling sleepy

you are feeling sleepy, sleepy
You are feeling sleepy…Vote Labour … you are feeling sleepy…..The conservatives are losers, voters..Dump them! …I travel the world and the seven seas … I am watching you through a camera! ….
It’s the Libcraps who want that in, georgy porgy is doing what he’s best at, which is fook all.
Good article from Hannan:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100099004/cyprus-cabinet-resigns-as-euro-crisis-spreads/
Interesting to note that yields for !talian / Span!sh borrowing are now nearly back to where they were pre-bailout. That is ~6% for each. 7% they will be guaranteed default, but 6% is touch and go.
In real terms this signifies: Policy fail.
In Cyprus, as the Turkish Cypriot savers have been hit by the same levy, yet still remain broadly divided from Greek, especially on issue of Euro / EU membership, could the recent bail-in of 10% savings and junior bond holders be enough to trigger civil war ?
There is even less reason now to remain in the EU:
Lisbon Article 50 / Vote UKIP.
Good to see the Socialist Workers out in force with a petition to “Stop the Tory Bedroom Tax”.
Given (a) it’s not a Tory government and (b) it’s not a tax, it’s nice to know our socialist brethern are happy to lie to persue their agenda.
Keep stirring up the class hatred guys!
Well done Hugh grant. Even if the celebs are hiding behind genuine suffering this genuine suffering still took place. They must never be allowed to do this again. Tough firm independent regulation is what is needed, the gutter press really are filth.
Can anybody imagine a bigger twat than me leading Labour? I sit atop the very pinnacle of twattery, the chief high twat who looks down upon you less twattish individuals like a … er, um, twat. Or something.
I have just found out right that Cobbetts one of the biggest firms of solicitors have gone into administration because they cannot pay their debts .
I have also found out that the unsecured creditors are going to get a whole tuppence in the pound which some people will be pleased about.
I think I would like to become an insolvency practitioner but public details of their fees are as hard to find as evidence of an English try at Cardiff Arms Park.
Anyway Lloyds Tsb are down the tubes for 5.2 million and guess who owns involuntarily 41% of the shares ?
Next enter stage right HMRC . They have managed to blow away 2.2 million of our money . The solicitors promised to pay them their employees tax money weekly but never kept their own promise .
I do not know why they call it PAYE more like PIYL (pay if you like) or perhaps PIYFL .
This whole thing stinks
