Hugh Grant Admits “Enormous Delight” From Tabloid Smears
These are Hugh Grant’s thoughts on the redtops from when he was the guest on the Desert Island Discs radio show some years back. They make very interesting listening:
“You can’t really moan. Sometimes you think it would be nice if the tabloids didn’t dig up every skeleton and lie and smear and all those things, but on the other hand when they lie and smear and poke fun at other celebrities it gives me enormous delight. So I can’t be too hypocritical.”
Oh really…
We all say shit like that. No-one likes to admit someone’s getting to them.
He’s still a twat though. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt in this case…
Is he still getting the BJs from cheap tarts though?
Who cares?
You think that needs exposing over real news?
It’s less depressing than real news so “yes”
Stiff rich posh actor who plays exactly the same part in every film speaks.
Yawn.
what faux stain of guido fails to see in his obsessive ferreting
is
perhaps
implicit in the words
HACKED OFF
a phrase that has traditionally evoked
the straw doll on camel’s breaking back
the mile that took hastily from given inch
there comes a point
etc
cliche
basically
freedom of speech should help us all laugh and be accessible to the common (wo)man
not a nasty operator mover and shaker
poking around to make money from lowest base
Miliband and Cleggy are are couple of Poodles. I bet Grant loves taking them for walkies.
Washed-up, spastic-faced hypocrite. Gas him.
I’ll grunt you one if you bend over boy.
A new low – even for this site. That poor excuse of a ‘human’ being you truly are.
Yeah, Guido is really butthurt over this whole affair, even though he keeps saying it won’t affect his US based servers.
So that idiot Hugh makes a statement to make himself seem less of a prick? And? Like anyone other person person does.
C’mon Guido. You used to be so much better than this crap.
I could have dug this up looking at any old post-Hooker TV interviews on Daytime TV. He guff this bollocks all the time.
default PIN is close to truth account entry
respec’
You could have dug it up.
But you didn’t.
Guido did.
True, but the reason why no-one else has is because it’s not remotely interesting. It’s weak sauce. It’s 10 years old.
True, we need to find new shit of him fucking goats and donkeys
Huhne’s motoring offence was 10 years old, too.
Not true! Just reinforces that this particular leopard will never change his spots, for leopard please read snake- sorry snake!!! Go GF sort these bastards out!!
you can always take a refund and fuck off
This clip should have been played over and over again to Leveson and Jay.

Is that what the hooker said to the Daily Mail?
What about the coke snorting session of Gerogies wasn’t he with a hooker as well – who holds the dirt on the whole deal behind that CP’d young twat Osborne.
So many f-wits have risen like scum to parliament – on all the benches.
There must be something wrong with us when we give credence to the witterings of a second rate actor.
He will thank you for that, he’s always regarded himself as fourth rate!

Never give credence to anything said by someone paid to pretend they are someone else.

“There must be something wrong with us when we give credence to the witterings of a second rate actor[,]”
As I did NOT say to President Reagan…
That’s because he was a first rate president.
Maybe so, but as an actor? Eh, mezza-mezza.
Taking that remark on face value – what planet have you been living?
Hacked off have used a sub-intellectual celebrity like grant to front up their agenda. They have used the similar tactics employed by Blair and co in using the sub-intellectuals like Bono, the Gallaghers Simple redtwat etc …
Celebrities don’t get … how they are ‘used’ (USEFUL IDIOT FOOL TOOLS) they don’t give a f. They think that they’re really really big when politicians come to call – LITTLE DO THEY EVER EVER EVER ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ‘used for ulterior PURPOSES.
This Grant is going to learn imminently, if not already.
Once this is across the line he is toast.
And he will never work again in anything meaningful, as he is too dangerous to have inside the circle. This he has just foolishly proved.
absolutely love the album guys…oh scuse me there’s jimmy…must dash
Are we talking Milliband, Clegg or Cameron here …?
Now that was a find!
He is being honest unlike the criminal Morgan.
So once you have an opinion you can’t change it even if it comes to light your personal freedoms and liberties were impinged upon?
GREAT STUFF YEAH.
I think his views nearer the event would be more genuine than 10 years later surely ?he didnt suffer career wise from the prostitute episode and nobody forced him to pick her up. He has just become more up himself in the intervening years, and more of a fool.
From where I am looking it appears he has hired a wifelet to impregnate
Its certainly seems a stiff business arrangement rather than a love affair
Poor kid. Fancy having that as your father!
I cannot say he is a hypocrite or I may be sued. Indeed,in 1995 or now he could just be lying
‘Lie & Smear’?
So what part of the ‘getting blown by a $25 hooker/humiliating his girlfriend in public’ was either of these then?
He paid the money and took the choice, he’s working in Hollywood and knows the territory, and you can be darned sure there’s stuff he’s done in his time that’s 100 times worse which hasn’t been reported.
I used to have time for him, limited as his range was, same as Coogan, but they’re just basically narcissistic twats who can’t play anything other than themselves and I wish they’d just now sod off out of our face.

So what. Changing the law is about protecting the Dowlers and McCanns, not movie stars.
THE LAWS HAVE BEEN THERE ALL THE TIME – THE PIGS HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED. The Pigs were politicised COMPLETELY BY Blair.

So what age can one automatically become too hypocritical, Hugh?
Eleventeen is a good age.

Older men always think that they know better than little johnny. The sins of their fathers.

You can’t be looking forward to getting old, BW, as all of a sudden, you will become stupid under your logical framework. What a pity, considering you are so clever now – well, that is what you tell us anyway…
It must really upset you. Will it happen on the stroke of midnight? Is this perhaps your last night?
Rest, gentle cat.
BW is young and still does not perceive the gaps between black and white, nor does he yet understand wisdom. This only comes with age.
It is good for him to question, argue and explore. It is not offensive, but shows his mind is not closed, perhaps just narrowly focused as is common with younger men, and as younger minds often fail to realize.
Patience and temperance are the highest virtues. He is yet to learn the fallacies of his own value system. This is part of the wisdom that is yet to come to him.

That shut the fucker up.
Cat – that is like compulsory retirement. One day you are full of beans, on top of the job, with a life time of knowledge and experience under your belt (been there, know 99% of the wrinkles, seen most of it all before etc) – then the day after your retirement date suddenly you are an all washed up know-nothing.
Two days later along comes some wet behind the ears prat with a pointless degree in something useless to re-invent the wheel again.
future generations will look back on this small dicked hypocritical fecker and curse his name … thought I get that in before I’m rounded up for “seditious thoughts and words against his celestial godness hugh” – sentence death by hugh grant movie.
Look up what Daily Show host Jon Stewart said about Grant after he appeared on his show. Called him the worst guest ever and said he was abusive to the entire crew and treated them like shit. Grant has a long history of being a total shit. It’s not to condone hacking, but Grant is just about the worst person to represent victims, as he’s a slimy arsehole.
Jon Stewart himself is a permenently rude barstard as well
Not a good source to cite
Except if you believe that it takes one to catch one, as they say!
But at least Stewart is funny. Grant is just naff, in a quaint english way.

Well two child neglectors are also spearheading this group.

His girlfriend stuck pins in her dress while hanging onto Grant’s arm. The pair were screaming out for press attention, then. Now these idiots want complete control over their own media image.
Well of course, now that we’re multi-millionaires we obviously want our grubby little fans to keep their distance.

This unutterable c#unt probably wants everyone that blogs about him sentence to watch Love Actually, Four Weddings and Notting Hill on endless loop.
The fact he made these films means there is nothing we can do to him to ever get even so putting him regularly through the stocks of red top abuse following his tawdry sex life is more bearable than watching his performances. He looks more animated and interesting when he’s genuinely pissed off anyway.
PS Guido – get a FOI request in to identify the rich wanker funders of Hacked Off.
Many may find this unbelievable but believe it or not I have never watched any of those films. Quite a feet I would say considering the amount of times they are shown on tele, and although not a film ‘buff’ I enjoy watching films.
The reason being I can’t stand the look of the foppish cnut.

That clip must be 10 years old. Scraping the barrel a bit guido.
Did someone mention a ten year old?
Roger the clue is in Guido’s wording…..”some years ago”.
The point is of Grants breathtaking HYPOCRISY.
True, and we already know Hugh is a duplicitous cuпt.
Yes he is (as someone pointed out a day or two ago) a right Hugh.

What happens if a general website says something truthful about a Judge?
Now with a woolly specification of a news web site will the judge be able to assign punitive damages in favour of his fellow law society member. It seem the only people to gain are those that have chosen to should stand up and be counted. They put themselves in those positions, they should be able to take it.
For those that are not in the limelight and are victims of the press they have to work their way through the regulators that will block any access to real justice. For those that have not experienced the stupidity, and blocking, of Ombudsmen and regulators please take my advice and never go near them. Their schemes are intended to avoid justice at all cost.
Don’t worry they are going use “independent” people to sort it out, independent means their mates, wives and anybody who gives gifts of cash to political bodies.

So are we really going to end up with a situation where a US website or paper runs a story about a celebrity fucking a 10 year old boy up the arse, but the UK media won’t be able to report it?
I think not.
Why not, if it’s true?
Exactly, if the story is true and in the public interest a paper will have nothing to fear, but if it’s more Murdoch bollocks then it serves them right.
The US newspapers operate on a much higher level of truth and scrutiny than our garbage.

It is much smarter for UKIP to cherry pick the good Parliamentary candidates from the other parties. Cutting the roots is best way of removing weeds.
After Leveson, UKIP Should Think Very Carefully About Accepting DefecAting MPs

There was more than Euro’s on that flight.
The Cypriot finance minister, who did not resign, is in Moscow tonight, for meetings tomorrow, and word is Cypriot banks may not be open until next Tuesday.
It looks like they are exiting the euro.
I doubt
The ECB has stated this evening that it “Would provide liquidity to the Cypriot banks”
That is an open cheque
The Cypriots and all their Russian m a f I a friends will draw down all their deposits
Their banks will draw down billions from the ECB and Bob is your uncle
EU taxpayers left with the bill
End of story
The perfect heist
Not so sure.
I do not think there will be a run on the banks, the government will keep them closed a bit longer for things to settle down.
Part of negotiations with Russia will be to stop the flight of Russian capital. That capital is likely legit, and in any case doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
The next demand of the people, which Anastas!ades will anticipate is a call to exit the EU. Now, they may not go that far, but the compromise will be exiting euro.
Cyprus won a lot of credibility back today, and if they opt to become a tax haven with their own currency that could work out. They have enough collateral in the gas reserves (albeit not all proven yet) to back themselves, and gold reserves on the island, plus good trading relations with !sra3l, Turkey, Greece, Russia.
All of those countries are in the process of becoming major players in hydrocarbons, Russia of course already being there.
ECB cannot offer open cheque book as the German people will not stand for that. They would ultimately be underwriting that unfunded liability, an aversion to which started this whole chain in the first place with Greece. (The Cyprus problem was caused by handling of Greek problem…)
Cyprus cannot remain in currency union as after this experience they would be foolish to trust Germany. On this score I would expect to see one of Greece, !taly or Spa!n in particular head for the exit next.
The ECB and IMF credibility has taken a big hit tonight, and quite rightly so.
One wonders how much longer Lagarde will remain in her post. This is her second strike after the Greek list fiasco. !taly will likely finish her off.
“Odd”* that the bondholders are being saved but the depositors are getting screwed….
*Odd is another word for amazingly illegal.
The ECB and the IMF – MUST BE DISBANDED for their criminal enterprises. The IMF are a disgrace to the Human Race. Usury practicing barstewards – setting out to get every country into bankr.uptcy.
Agree with you BW on IMF, but that is a much higher level problem.
ECB likely will be chopped down to size or got rid of before then.
Just need to swap all the dodgy euro debt into the thing first, and then annihilate it with a pen stroke when all are safely back on their national currencies.
Looks like Russia will have quite a few ex EU naval bases in the Med, if one jumps etc.
Russian ships are so dodgy since their nuclear sub exploded that they seldom put to sea
But they are good at gesticulating and making useless window lickers like you believe they are miughty and organised..when they are enfeebled and disorganised with flawed 1970s equipment (copied b adly from Western models)
And they will soon loose their only naval base in the Med
With the Assads in Syria….
Perhaps Gideon can sell the British base on Cyprus to the Russians
Don’t count your lost naval bases until they are lost
They have the spare cash, a few big cardboard cutouts of ships from Russian fleet in Cypriot or Greek harbours will scare the hell out the of the EUSSR, America with Omaha’s head up his own arse and pulling military material from Europe won’t do anything.

Once Cyprus has progressed a bit further, methinks Greece may be next to hop on the Put!n express.
One big advantage to this is that Russia should be able to act as a governor between Turkey / Greece, and claims to oil / gas in East Med.
So long as LNG prices stay roughly where they are now until US has got its fracking in place, all should be good.
UK really could do with a referendum.
Russia could not run a piss up in a brewery
Just look as their client state Syria
Enough said
Don’t confuse the ability to run a client state with wanting to avoid unnecessary confrontation with the US. Look a bit more closely at the Syr!an conflict to get my drift, and not the BBC propaganda.
The EU has demonstrated that it is not capable of managing its own affairs, let alone those of others. The French funding of rebel factions in Syr!a is a major part of the mess in Syr!a.
In any case, there is a more important restructuring going on in that region involving Kurd!stan / Turkey / !ran, and potentially Palest!ne / !sra3l.
To your point on Russian client states, I would look more at !ngushetia, and they appear quite capable there.
Am no fan of Russia, just looking at this objectively and pragmatically.
One thing Europe needs to be concerned about is having Russia exert hegemonic influence through its position of having monopoly on energy supply. That battle one suspects is nearly conceded.
You are very presumptuous
I never watch the BBC
The EU has major problems but no greater than those of the UK -debt and overspending in boith cases
The Sysrian uprising began long before the French were ever involved…75% of the population are Sunni and Assad and his Allawis represent about 5%…That is the cause of the problem
You talk about “restructuring” – I would call it disintegration combined with a generalised Sunjni Shia war – bad news for all concerned and brewing dince the schism between the two about 800 years ago!
Palesytine/israel : I s r a e al is a f a s c i s t aqnd r a c i s t state that no longer wants a two state solution – hence major problems for ever
As regards Ingushetia, it forms part of the noprthern Caucasus which is in permanent revolt of one kind or another…Brute Russian force massacres them from time to time then repeat revolt…also centuries old…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency_in_the_North_Caucasus
Finally, Russia is far from “having a monpoly” in energy supply. It has not monopoly at all in oil
It has a dominant position versus parts of Europe in gas yes- but Germany, for instance, is moving very heavily to coal (paradoxically given the circs) gas prices are coming down thanks to fracking etc and renewable nuclear offer alternatives
Russia is also paradoxically heavily dependent on foreign especially German investment since they are totally incapable of developing their own country- especially with massive capital outflows of the pillaging oligarchs
enough for now
Oh dear. Pro EU = Rubbish analysis. plus as a “bonus” a Ziophobe for the only middle east democracy all the other states are as he describes the one.

Good analysis of Russian bluff in the Med
and its rust bucket ships

This is a bit more informative with history:

The economics of running the ports is interesting.
Russia does have a submarine port at Latakia in addition to the listening post, and the main base at Tartus.
The ships are old and would likely be sunk fairly quickly by UK / French / US forces, but what they have even though old can easily overcome most other naval forces in the region. Certainly enough to keep the Black Sea in line, and outgun the likes of Greece / Turkey.
If it floats, has a functioning engine and ~16″ guns, it’s good enough. They do have a medium range missile cruiser there as well.
Russia would likely be mainly interested in providing security and maintaining access to the Med from the Black sea. Unless they move an aircraft carrier into the region there is not much to worry about from UK / US perspective.
The Black Sea fleet is having added new frigates and non-nuke subs added since 2010, due to be in play by 2020.
Should be noted that Ch!na has been doing a lot of piracy patrol duty at Southern end of Suez, as well as purchasing ports in Greece.
This is wjhat the Russian Navy is good for
http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_kw=Russian+army+military+shirt+NAVY+uniforms+Captain+3++rank+officer+-+engineer
Interesting to note the various names of the only Russian carrier which is obsolete in every respect
“The vessel was first named Riga, then the name was changed to Leonid Brezhnev, this was followed by Tbilisi. Finally, on 4 October 1990,[7] she was renamed Admiral Flota Sovetskovo Soyuza Kuznetsov, referred to in short as Admiral Kuznetsov.[3] The ship was 71% complete by mid-1989. In November 1989 she undertook her first aircraft operation trials. In December 1991, she sailed from the Black Sea to join the Northern Fleet. Only from 1993 on did she receive aircraft”
The Russians also beat ther world hands down for air crashes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aviation_accidents_and_incidents_in_Russia
never fly on a Russian plane friends
> In December 1991, she sailed from the Black Sea to join the Northern Fleet. Only from 1993 on did she receive aircraft”
That will be very much faster than the aircraft carrier than Gordo order will get planes.
Russia wants warm water ports. In Cyprus they can have one AND get a few discos for R&R. What not’s to like?

Just deprive Huge Rant of the air of publicity and with a bit of luck, he will wither and fade away.
Great delight, great delight! When I saw you on the TV with Paxman, and he beat you to a pulp, I bet they thought oo-er, and the weight difference, you’d bow down before me, lad.
There is an idea of a David Cameron, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
It is hard for me to make sense on any given level. Myself is fabricated, an aberration. I am a non-contingent human being. My personality is sketchy and unformed, my heartlessness goes deep and is persistent. My conscience, my pity, my hopes disappeared a long time ago if they ever did exist. There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed.
Yet I am blameless. Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some validity. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do? My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.
In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this—and I have countless times, in just about every act I’ve committed—and coming face-to-face with these truths, there is no catharsis. I gain no deeper knowledge about myself, no new understanding can be extracted from my telling. There has been no reason for me to tell you any of this.
This confession has meant nothing….

Relativism in all its spendor and incoherence

I think Cameron’s generation from the Bullingdon Club, including Boris and Nattie, think the same way

Hugh Grant = Skidmark on the freedom of the press.
God forbid, but after 318 years we’ve got to start fighting for our freedoms again. You couldn’t make it up.
It could be fun to fight for our freedoms.
You know what, you’re right. Let’s repeal the gun laws and have some real fun.
We DO need someone to make the tea to be fair.
I’ve really gone off Hugh (blow job) Grant. A complete tosser who takes himself far too seriously…& please don’t get me started on the king tosser Max (I do like a cup of char when I’m whoring) Mosley!
Hugh Grant unwittingly expressed a candid view years back on tabloid smears. The truth is more like sheer hype in recent months. Cooked-up indignation is the norm. More bucks…
Just as a matter of interest, where is Cyprus going to find 40% of GDP from?
Just as a matter of interest how will germany react if Cyprus goes over to russia?
Who was the 3rd person in the car with Div.ine and Hugrant then?
It wasn’t me, dr!ving the car. This time I’m telling the truth, for a change.
There is a rumour going round that Putin has some of his own personal money in Cyprus.
“”……..according to Thompson [that`s Divine], the attention of a policeman was alerted by Grant repeatedly pressing the brake pedal of his BMW with his foot, causing the brake lights to flash.[2][4]“”
+++Laugh+++ Cyprus rejects germany’s proposal to steal 7-11% of contents of bank accounts and promptly sends its finance minister off to russia for talks.

The controllers are just hoping nobody spots it because of the furore tomorrow, we have started an office competition and real estimates of the true figures range from 45,000 a year to 200,000 but now we’ve been told all our efforts have to go into disguising the true immigration figures.
I never believe anyone who works at the Home Office on immigration. if they say 200,000, I would assume the real figure is closer to 600,000

It must make a refreshing change from dining with Janus-faced socialists, eh ?
All very well but what are we going to do about it?
Barroso butt-fucked Cyprus Style.
Why can’t Barosso just drop dead? No-one voted for him, no-one goves a shit what he says.

It is a fact that no-one voted for barroso. As for people giving a shit about him, I have yet to meet anyone who does. Have You?
No, no one person likes the twat. If the muslims or the Basques want to win over most of Europe then they know what to do.
If he’d been from a Socialist party that killed 20 million he’d not be allowed to be there(National Socialists).
However he’s from a Socialist party that killed 70 million so he’s allowed to be there (iNazis).
Wonder what the BBC are going to make of Cyprus on ‘News’night…
Fuck the BBC. When the news broke Saturday morning the BBC said Nowt. They did not have a clue how serious the cracks in their beloved EU had become. It was not until Saturday tea time that they appreciated the gravity of the situation and phoned up Pesto to comment.
Ok, Cypriot minister said either euro group lets them off the hook or they go back to the Cyprus Pound. Banks re-open next week.
Done.
Moved onto budget talk: Asked the question, what is going to crawl out of the box ? Judging by the giggling, all except Paxo were thinking ‘his cock’.
Guido is fuc*ed! Or he could start printing the truth. Amazing how worried the right wing bloggers are.
Amazing how blase left wingers are about throwing away their freedom.
You lefties do love it when you force your views on other people.
20 million murdered, when will the Marxists apologise?
Freedom of expression will always win through you lefty fuckwit. “These truths we hold to be self evident.”
Worried right wingers? Probably. Murderous, lying, thieving, wasteful left wingers? Definitely.
I love the fact that all these distraction stories are working a treat and people have forgotten all about Chilcot.
Chilcot? Isn’t that where they have the railway preservation society? Near the big chimneys on the way to Oxford?
Could negative interest rates be a possibility in tomorrows budget ?
In practical terms, we have had negative interest rates for some time.
Agreed: In real terms. I mean, akin to deposit tax.
Good advice from UKIP:
A bank run will not help anyone, but moving the lion share of euro deposits to UK based accounts is smart.
Keeping minimum in local Euro accounts best.
If Cyprus does leave euro the one thing that is guaranteed is sharp inflation in the short term.
Switching through gold may be the best way to do this, assuming there is a reputable bullion dealer nearby.
More on German government stupidity

You can bet l’ll have fuckin negative interest!
Negative interest rates imply it’s less risky to lend money than hold onto it.
Truly mad and an admition that they’ve destroyed the economy.
The maoist barrosovitch is an absolute tosser as is that economicaly illiterate von pumpy and that cnd stooge ashton,what a crowd we are being dictated by.
Am delighed that cyprios are now putting a spanner in the worlds corrupt financial services.
Will this result in the collapse of this EUSSR communist nightmare,well I for one hopes that it leads to the collapse of this EUSSR failed experiment.
Barrosovitch and his compatriots should be consigned to history as a bunch of commissars who did not not represent the people.
EUSSR are what the name implies,in that they are a bunch of commies.
I don’t remember communism

His personal guard will keep any other annoying inmates at bay.
Country in debt? Need a bailout? Then why not do what I did and go on Wonga.com. In 15 minutes you could have as much as 8 billion in your account which you’ll repay with only 14526% APR. Go on, do it now and help get your country back on its feet!
Wolfgang Schaeuble is in denial, still pretending that stealing from Cypriot depositors was a good plan.
http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/world/german-minister-warns-against-cyprus-haste/story-e6frfkui-1226601240212
Not reimbursing depositors means the mattress replaces banks, oh and money velocity halves.
Since bank’s going pop should mean zeroed bondholders (not in Cyprus!!!) and Shareholders then this is sufficiently deflationary to print the depositors money without inflationary risk and re-opening the banks branches with new ownership.
I had hoped that in walking away from talks with Miliband and Clegg and their Charter, Cameron was shewing statesmanship and had drawn a line in the sand. I now find myself as disappointed with him as I was with the 20 or so Tory rebels who were seemingly prepared to defy him and vote for state regulation.
It is a dark day for this country when legislation is shaped around the noise made by a group of scumbag celebrities and our government ‘bends the knee’ and is outflanked by Marxist activists determined to emasculate a free press. Yes! the odious, opportunistic Miliband would yet again have played the ‘Dowler / McCann’ card, but Cameron’s wider obligations to the Nation, as PM, called for him to show REAL leadership, not indulge in populist X-Factor politics. It was Cameron’s job to minimise and outweigh Miliband’s attack in a way that the Country would understand, respect and accept.
I have always supported Cameron. No Prime Minister in living memory has inherited and had to deal with such a litany of failure, not just an awful economic catastrophe, but failure at every level of government. Almost everything Labour touched in its 13 years, it wrecked. Even the press wrongdoing that led to Leveson happened on Labour’s watch – wrongdoing that Gordon Brown chose to turn his blind eye to.
But on this, Cameron is wrong. Our historic rights and freedoms have been compromised and it beggars belief to think that ‘Hacked Off’ will stop at what it has achieved this week.
Today I have put my name to the Government e-petition 47317, calling for the Charter to be dissolved. I hope that anyone that feels equally angry does the same.

The Tory MPs were doing it for revenge, having had their corrupt expenses exposed by the press.
If the idea was to try and seize 10% of the billions of laundered Russian money in the Cypriot banking system, why didn’t they grab just the Russian money?
Because the Germans don’t have the balls or the military power to start World War Three.
Crossing the Rubicon is the new Not fit for purpose. Every live news presenter and his interviewee can’t resist saying it now.
Buy shares in AG Barr. There are fantastic margins on Rubicon juice drinks and all of this free advertising must be good for sales.
But when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and committed himself to war, he won. What is the metaphor for committing yourself to a fight you’re going to lose — ‘Starting a land war in Asia’?
When he crossed the Rubicon he did not know if he would win or not, but he did know there was to be no undoing of his act.

Why is Jim Sheridan even on the Commons Culture Committee? He represents a Scottish constituency, and Scotland has it’s own Parliament, laws and Press regulations. The Royal Charter will not apply to Scotland, so why do Scots MPs get a say on affairs concerning England ?
Please don’t ask pertinent questions, all you need to know the state media will tell you.
Oh, look over there, a single mum with 16 kids suffering under the Tory cuts.
Der Spiegel gets to the point, firmly blaming Merkel for the Cypriot idiocy:
Zypern-Desaster trägt Merkels Handschrift”
I think Der Spiegel is wrong to lay the blame firmly at Frau Merkels door.
Singling out Germany and Merkel for a failing of the entire Eurogroup is wrong and stinks of bad politics. Positively oozes the machinations of Rompuy, Barroso and Hollande.
Lagarde and Jeroen Dijsselbloem are equally, if not even more to blame.
Der Spiegel may be grinding the axe against her following Lower Saxony defeat. Even though they are politically neutral, one suspects they are not aligned with CDU politically, and the Federal Elections are get nearer.
Whilst the German people may be getting worried about the level of exposure they have been signed up to with the euro, their character is contrary to what has been displayed.
Playing on stereotype has been a feature of the handling of Southern Europe’s problems from the start of the crisis and needs to stop. That is the shell within which the real poison in Brussels has wrapped itself.
Time to flush the communists out and start over.
The Rompuy, Barroso and Hollande clique obviouly bear some blame, but they are like the scorpions in Aesop’s fable, merely acting according to their natures. I can’t , however, see the Troika taking the line it has without Merkel calling the shots.
It doesn’t make too much sense for Merkel to do this unless she wants to take Germany out of the euro. Now, that is a possibility, but from my observation it has been looking like Merkel has become more isolated in both domestic and European politics since Hollande got in.
Scapegoating Merkel will compound the real problem. She would have been involved, but the idea and bullying aspect I don’t buy as being purely her.
Wolfgang Schaeuble is much more culpable, and the policy of stealing from bank deposits more in line with his way of thinking.
To counter some of the black propaganda:
i) Merkel and ‘Germany’ are not exclusively the bad guys.
ii) Cyprus and Greece are not full of lazy people who cannot manage their money or economies.
iii) Not all Russians are money laundering gangsters.
iv) The EU handling of Greek debt problem in the wake of the credit crunch is what has cause Cyprus to have problems.
v) Cyprus does not have immediate problems. They have ~6-7 weeks until a default is necessary, plenty of time to raise capital without being directed to steal from deposits.
vi) EUR 10bn could have easily been donated to Cyprus is ECB wanted to keep them in. Given the gas reserves the country is sitting on, it would have been a good investment as well.
IMHO Lagarde should resign over this, as the IMF advocating the stealing of deposits has made her position untenable, and calls into serious question the legitimacy of the IMF period.
I predict a Cyp riot.
No, no riot. So long as the government continues to appear to do what the people want.

it beggars belief that this headline can provide so many with such fucking shit – still the same can be said for all the rich little tory boys who infest our nation. So it will be fun to hear wee georgie’s announcements today. More wealth for the rich elites and less the general population – what a wonderful way to stimulate the economy of a dying imperialist state – one that is now a truly one party state following the cowardice the the labour party in the debate about poundland and mandating people to work for nothing even though slavery was ‘abolished’ all those years ago. What utter fucking bastards the political classes are. What utter morons are the people of this country – divided along the tired ld party lines and shouting abuse at one another rather than dealing with saving what is OUR heritage not that of the politicos. Could do with getting rid of the royals for a start – freeloading shits
I’ve a feeling in me water that the real Slaves would have thought working in Poundland and being housed, fed and paid by the State for doing so was a FREEDOM they could not have imagined even in their wildest dreams.
What “sick of em” says is telling and would make a good starting-point for a really decent debate – must have posted on the wrong site?
There are comments on other blogs re “Hacked Off” having EU funding ? and Maria Millars connections with Common Purpose, come on Guido get to the bottom of this.
Do not the people that control this site understand that, the more they used/use cheap comments and insults to paint black people (that questioned that ‘right’ of this site to paint people black), the more they made the case for legal press control?
