Speccie Say NO
Downing Street Say Guido is a “Relevant Publisher”
The Spectator have made up their mind on state regulation. Here is tomorrow’s cover:
Think that’s pretty clear…
Downing Street has cleared up yesterday’s confusion about whether or not Guido will fall under the Charter:
“No newspaper or blogger would be forced to join the regulator, the Royal Charter system is a system of incentivisation. However, those ‘relevant publishers’ that choose not to join the regulator would be subject to costs and could be subject to exemplary damages if taken to court. ‘Relevant publishers’ are specifically defined and could include blog sites that are written by multiple authors, have editorial control and are published in the course of business.”
It goes without saying that it’s a “no” from Guido too…
No, no, no.
Milton says No.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areopagitica
And it will be a NO from us at EdinburghSucks.com
All this crap from a bunch of ego driven, brainless (and therefore good for nothing else) thieving andcorrupt bastards, variously called MPs, “actors”, celebs or just plain hangers-on. Fuck em!

Message to Nick, Dave and Edward – fuck off you pair of cnuts. And the third one who is a twat.
I don’t think it’s up to Fraser Nelson, he only works there. The Barclay brothers will decide.
Guido, about time you started dusting down those gunpowder kegs again and made plans to re-enter the Houses of Parliament.
Surely sign Guido and then carry on regardless…
Whilst this blog is hosted on foreign servers, if you were to be sued how would you stand as far as your personal assets in this country? i Assume Guido/harry own assets of one variety or another in this country? so could this law put them at risk if suckedoffhugh&co were to sue?
Nope.
The Left are running scared; they know the people are tiring of them.
When the tide turns, and it will, the fall out throughout the civil service and academia will be immense. It won’t be pretty.
Change is in the air.
Hi, Planet Earth just called, you can stay where you are
I take it you are not on Earth either then?

The left deserted us working class and destroyed our lives with their marxist utopia.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfcytLlcshY&w=420&h=315%5D
They never deserted the Working Class, they were never interest in the Working Class. If Tories are posh boys who are more concerned by business than humanity then the Labour are posh boys who never got to run the family business and so needed a “constituency” to exercise their power upon. They have innate issues about proving themselves and a sense of entitlement. Anybody who tells them they are wrong needs to be silenced and we are seeing that with these move against the press. Socialism is always pushed by those rich enough not to endure the results of any of their policies. The difference with today’s Labour Party is that they have realised they can have all that but without the trouble of listening, or pretending to listen, to the needs of the Working Class or the poor.
In the Middle Ages the second son with dangerous ideas above his station would have been shipped off to the Church or quietly disposed off…….
no; the THIRD son was shipped off to the church; the second son was sent off to forge a career in the Army; learning to fight in foreign climes either killed off the utterly reckless or fitted them to build a business of their own if they were smart enough to seize a local opportunity and lucky enough to survive the experience …
Actually they are scenting complete victory. It is why they have become so arrogant and their online trolls so nasty. The left in Britain have transcended from being one viewpoint in a plurality of politics to a neo-fascist, national socialist “movement” – Blair’s New Labour party as “nothing less than the political wing of the British people as a whole” and now being promoted by Miliband as his “one nation”. The whole collective is moving towards establishing a de facto single party state with the sham of political plurality confined to quaint but utterly meaningless theatrics in the Houses of Parliament while the real deals get agreed in Brussels or behind closed doors by the new, rich and powerful “third estate”.
It is why anyone who disagrees with them is demonised. It is why their quangos and fake charities and lobby groups can intimidate and bully their way to power as we have just seen. And behind most of it is Common Purpose who have put one over the British people and imposed a cultural revolution of such devastating subtlety and lack of opposition that Mao could only have dreamed of.
And muppets like “Timoof” who scoff at the idea of such conspiracy being far-fetched are their useful idiots, their fools and slaves who will help to bring about a one party state of mind here. And those who still resist it all, even moderates and the right of centre, will soon be branded “extremists”, marginalised from debate and monitored by the new state police.
They are much more effective than I was
So what is your suggested solution?
Can I be of assistance ?
Yes I hear what you are saying; well put by the way. My thinking is more that some of the wiser elements of the Left know that the proverbial man (or woman) on the street aren’t agreeing with them (or Cons or LibDums). They may not express themselves in the same terms and words as 3rd year politics student. Bu there are concerns. To dismiss the majority as X Factor watching sheeple is the height of vanity. There is a disconnect between politics and the people. A vacuum. A gulf. And to use that hackneyed phrase nature abhors a vacuum. Something will fill it. If the Left look back in their history books they will see what happens to tiny minorities who ignore the majority. The politicians have got to understand that if the majority don’t engage in the political process it isn’t the majority who are at fault. The disengagement invalidates the political process as it is now. My fear is that we do find ourselves late next year with a police forces and benefits system at a breaking point because of influx from the east. If the streets do turn lawless something will happen to galvanise the natives. If anything that is the biggest wrong with all this press nonsense. Rather like gay marriage it is a non-issue. Europe on the brink and we have actors and the rich dictating politics in an office in the Palace of Westminster.
I think we are coming to a junction in the road.One way is rapid decline, move towards one party state rule and extensive and frequents outbreaks of violence : the other requires the British people to regain their resilience , shake off their apathy and regain a level of emotional maturity so they take responsibility for themselves.
In fact, the cultural Left is very fragile: they are a paper tiger. The problem no Liberal ( in the true sense ) or Tory with common sense, broad experience of life and a little courage has challenged them to honest and open debate .
The Cultural Left has proven it is incapable of producing wealth, incapable of producing a numerate and techically competent workforce with the skills to compete in the 21st Century and it has imposed gagging orders on the NHS and allowed astate of fear to develop .It has spent money but not spent wisely and allowed immigration to reduce the wages of the unskilled and semi-skilled and allowed welfare costs to balloon.
In fact the unskilled and semi-skilled have done worse under Labour than those working in smoke stack and overmanned nationalised industries under the Tories.
It should be……NO?
that is not a Scottish accent, it’s a Bastardisation due to sodomisism at public shool Fraser!

In some parts of the internet it is considered courteous to let the person know if you have reposted another’s creative work or linked it to some of yours.

There lust be a question of territoriality
How can any Uk law apply to this blog which is published in the US.?
Storm parliament, this maybe the last time it can be said.
Load of total twonks.
Brilliant.
Can’t wait for the Weekly Stats when the MSM sign up.
Well that is a very difficult question but I think the answer is a short message relating to sex and travel.
If you are taken to court is that a UK court? And why would you attend if it was?
Would not someone have to take you to the court where you publish?
Is there a sneaky bit of legislation saying if you live in the UK, or operate in the UK, you are subject to new UK press regulation?
even if there is , does it matter? Starbucks, Apple, Google, Amazon, Specsavers don’t seem to pay much attention to UK tax laws, and no one seems able to do bugger all about that.
And there’s always the EU and the ECHR.
Like the terrorists, use our own idiot legislation against us.
Exactly as this site is domiciled in the US surely the First Amendment applies ?
Without freedom of the press would we have found out about Grant being blown in L.A. He must be wanting to repeat the experience and not being found out. Pillock…

I suggest — even more aptly — PRICK !!
having failed to get a proper bill of rights / constitution we are now presented with the alternative:
a BILL OF WRONGS
just look at the comedians proposing it
Mr Obama is proving in the US that written constitutions aren’t worth the paper they are written on. The Left would simply ignore it. I think one of the first lessons a child learns in the playground is that if you constantly change the rules of a game to suit yourself you will not be popular. The trouble is in the UK the vast majority don’t follow politics so it matters little to the politicos about being popular. As long on election day somebody turns out and there is a vote that is all they care about.
They couldn’t even get rights right.
Rights are restrictions on the state. They mixed them up with entitlements.
Most useless politicians ever.
True. But, and say for this sake of discussion and not to be pedantic, surely the state is the people and not the government? That our minds so easily couple government and state is truly frightening. Government should be the minor actor in our life not the major actor.
Rather like the deliberate repeated confusion of the parasitic EU with Europe.
Exactly. I like broad strokes discussion and I am guilty of using lose language. I am anti-EU, but pro-Europe too.
Love Europe, Hate the EU!
Sorry: thank you UKIP and Roger Helmer MEP!
surely everyone leaving comments here is an author to the site, so multiple authors, same with any blog.
Check out the EU directive on media control, amongst other gem like ideas is the one that journalists should be trained in an EU approved educational institution, ie one that the EU will fund and that state funded institutions will only be able to employ journalists that qualify from such educational establishments, and I’m not making that up
“Incentivisation”???
-Threatening to fine papers millions if you print stuff they don’t like.
“Incentivisation” – sounds more like ‘coersive blackmail’ such that we’ll bankrupt you if you dare call us corrupt.
I will sleep well tonight as I always do – because ANYTHING that I have ever stated on here – is BACKED UP WITH “100% EVIDENCE”.

One day – many on here will have the backbone to call the shots on the bent legals infesting our parliament UNLAWFULLY.
Best response yet. Now we need a few more publications to put it like that.
If nobody bothers to sign up to the thing, and just publishes boring news for a while, could that b’nkrupt the thing ?
Will Private Eye refuse to sign up to it?
Private Eye is shite.
Hislop is an establishment placemen masquerading as an anti-establishment hero of the people.
He is nothing of the sort. He is a stooge
Let’s see, shall we?
On the other hand, “stooge” might be too good a word for him. At least my friend Larry, and my brother Curly and I had the saving grace of being, well, FUNNY. And Curly agrees with me:
It is all a matter of taste. I never found the three stooges remotely funny.
Are you from Kirkcaldy perhaps?
There is no reason not to, provided it is truthful, mind they have not been without their times in the high court, remember the numerous times Captn Bob sued them
Remember Hislop taking Aljabeeba’s side re: Saville on HIGNFY, so UK_slave may have a point.
I still read and find interesting stuff in Private Eye.
I would hope that Hislop has to balls to say no too.

Mark Twain (as per memory) – “The mere mention of the word lawyer is enough to deprive a man of public confidence.”
Good live blog (not a plug for the publisher) on Cyprus debate going on right now:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/mar/19/eurozone-crisis-cyprus-bailout-government-vote?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
EURJPY: 121.97
EURUSD: 1.2861 (low 1.2856…)
EURGBP: 0.8514
Gold: $1614
First page of Graunaid blog says “Just a reminder for new readers — the deal on the table in Cyprus has been amended, so that savers with less than €20,000 in the bank are now not affected by the savings levy.
That clearly hasn’t been enough to satisfy Cyprus’s politicians.”
I think the MP’s are more worried about Russian hitmen than angry locals losing a few grand.
I’m loving it, we may be seeing the beginning of the EU end…
Loverley…
I do not endorse the publication.

IGNORANCE OF THE LAWS “THEIR LAWS” IS NO EXCUSE – AND LEGALS IGNORING THEM WELL THEY’RE 1000 FOLD MORE GUILTY.
Clearly what we need is a fully armed citizen’s militia to go out and kill the enemies of the people, otherwise things will not change.
If we kill enough of them, then we will ensure a good change in attitudes towards us and our concerns.
May I suggest that our more enlightened MPs – perhaps UKIP ones – might be prevailed upon to enable us to arm ourselves with semi-automatic weaponry as the rather more civilised US allows?

Makes a change from the “yanks” thinking they police the World
Don’t they?
A certain resonance over there. Particularly with other Brits trying to get rid of the 2nd amendment. UK should get her guns back.
The people cannot be trusted! What do you think The U.K. is? A Democracy?!?
Sometimes…depends on how many hallucinogens I’ve been taking
Clasic. British politicians advertising their stupidity to the world. Or just maybe they meant it? naw they’re too stoopid.
The House of Commons is full of inbred twits. What do we expect if we elect oligarchs and the children of oligarchs.
The Yanks who go in for this sort of Constitutional argument are fond of saying that having a 2nd Amendment is, when you get right down to it, the ultimate enforcement mechanism, for breaches by the government, of the 1st.
Can’t see the error in their logic.
The dirty ptb are desperately trying to dupe the masses into bringing down the 2nd amendment – it is they who are most likely to get a gunbarrel up their bums.
They ought to start putting their hands up – but as stated before – innit always those at the top who are the last to do that!
Mosley’s latest comments are quite disturbing, I think there is a real danger that Hacked Off could lead the country into much violence.

I bet they suddenly come up with the idea that it would be absolutely spiffing if they bought in national service, everyone under the age of 30 must take part no excuses, lower wages, take loads off the dole, free up uni places for fee paying foreign students, all will start in the ranks those selected for officer status must sign up for 6 years or stay in the ranks.
As I said yesterday – next – burn yourselves to death – self-immolation please please do try it – you’ll get a bigger thrill than bumfucking.

It’s true. We don’t need *any* public services. If people want to arrange their own health insurance and bin collections, let them, and they should all have private fire insurance to enable them to call a fire service.
I have home schooled 8 children, and they’ve grown up fine. I’m aghast that employers cut up so shitty about home schooling and qualifications and fail to see the worth of my kids, but I stand by my decision. It proves to me that most employers have fallen for the communist mantra of equality and are slaves to GCSEs.
We cannot afford another generation to be ruined by communist education and mindless filth like the NHS.

Well done Spectator, tell them to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
keep going – hacked off are a real threat – Moseley and his hacked off fascists trying to control the press – militwat has sold his sole (the other soul he gave to the devil a long time ago) to get two mins of fame with the harperson – please keep going and save fee speech
Oswald’s Apple hasn’t fallen very far.
SERIOUS POINT ::##
Yes but Guido with all due respect .
If as you maintained on the Radio Four World at One today that all your servers are in Califorbia and therefore you do not see how UK /EU jurisdiction would apply my question is :
Why then do you deploy a set of criteria which result in some of our comments being modded ?
Why not just let everybody say everything ?
Good point.
Welsh activist?
Just a moniker thought up on the hoof as i got barred from posting under my real name. Not politically correct enough i guess.
Have you ever listened to Citizen Band Radio.?
Maybe you should start a blog with your idea of ” Free Speech ”
” FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF and CCCCCCCCCCCC”
in terms of moderation this is one of the very few places where free expression unfettered for the most part go on. i have had stuff chopped from time to time and whilst it is fucking annoying i do respect the fact that collective el guido most likely has very sound reason for cutting tings or maybe not or maybe both if and/or when they feel like it or not.
conliblab fuckers getting paid for commenting stand out like a fucking sore thumb btw. most of us have seen through the whole political ping pong shite and we fucking hate you.

I am so pleased to be on the same side as a Mosley for a change (it just feels so right somehow).
The control of the press is something that should definitely be in the hands of the government – I just can’t understand why you ghastly common morons don’t get it.
You have always been on the same side as Moseley. You are both authoritarians.

You have testing us for years.
This is an important announcement.
Have you been offended by untruthful or misleading stories in the press, on twitter or facebook? Has your health, welfare or family life suffered at the hands of bloggers like Guido Fawkes? If so, new government legislation means that you may be entitled to significant amounts of compensation.
Our experienced claims handlers will deal with everything and EVERY penny that you are awarded by the People’s Confiscation Committee on Press Control, YOU KEEP. Our costs are paid by the organisations who, between us, we choose to finger.
Mr G from Chelsea was awarded over £1 million when a National Newspaper accused him of an indecent act in a car whilst abroad. Mr G was totally innocent, the act being performed by his passenger was one of kindness – treating an injury, Mr G being in pain, having caught his gentleman’s relish in his zipper.
We were able to obtain over £2 million compensation for Mr M, an elderly gentleman living in poverty in Monaco. Mr M had absent-mindedly walked into the wrong apartment, one where it transpired an educational video on human anatomy was being filmed. Mr M had agreed to help with a close-up when the press barged in.
Could you be entitled to similar amounts of compensation OR EVEN MORE? New government legislation means that you might – but you need to act now. Ring our claims hotline today to speak with one of our experienced claims handlers and find out just how much you are entitled to.
I like it – FalseclaimsRuslegals.
Don’t say it if you don’t mean it. No trying to evade the controls by publishing accurate, balanced and well researched stories. It’s not what we come here for.
So what does make you come, Jimmy ?
I can’t see how that’s any business of yours, but if you must know, Mrs. Jimmy and Democratic Socialism.
The BBC runs web site with different authors, will they come under this Royal Charter? If so I will have a field day, 3 complaints a day.
Apparently we are exempt.
The BBC website doesn’t appear to be covered by anything. They say what they like.
In that case all bloggers should include the letters BBC in their blog titles – eg. Barry’s Blog Cooperative; Bertha’s Big Chopper etc
Am sure it’s been said somewhere on here over the last few days, but one would suspect that this charter thingie has been written specifically with Guido in the crosshairs.
Good for you for saying no.

It’s clear that only organised violent action will attain our aims. I have contacted the EDL on the premise that they are very pro free speech and will probably be glad to get hold of reasonable means to achieve their aims, ie, weaponry.
The communist in No. 10 must be ejected along with the marxist horde he leads in parliament – as for LieBore and the FibDUMS, they are clearly traitors to this country, and any reasonable person would be persuaded that the return of the death penalty for their treasonous acts is a just reward for their attempts to turn us into North Korea.
Harsh but fair
No from Save Our Community Healthcare Services (sochs.org.uk) too, and if they want to sue the site when we disclose the unlawful spin-off of Community Healthcare Services by NHS Kirklees management to their buddies, who then took high paying jobs at the Social Enterprise, aided by the Strategic Health Authority and DoH who all chose to ignore procurement law and statutory obligations to consult, which has now backfired as the company is making nurses redundant, then they are always free to get their lawyers to send a letter (though not the ones they first went to as they went into administration and were sold on).
I would just like to point out Balls tonight, sounds like a show rather like Balls Tonight but anyway, he believes Osbourne to be not just a choker-offer of recovery (picture Michael Howard, anyone?>
But at the same time a tinkerer with the economy. So what does that make him? A worthless overspender and totally over-excited minister with no real stimulation in the past.
A prematurely-ejaculating fucker.
Still in retrospect, the BBC will run with Balls, hiding that problem he has.
And it’s a resounding NO from all of us at the Muckleberry-in-the-Wold Parish Newsletter, too! Although, to be fair. we haven’t published an edition for two months because Rosemary Hollstead’s printer has run out of ink. Her grandson normally changes them for her but he won’t be home from college until Easter.
