Guy News : Hoon, Hewitt & Hubris
For those of you who don’t get the Guidogram every week, here Guy News gives you the top ten video moments of our year.
As is traditional at this time of year they are of course repeats…
Gordon forced out of the closet by Al Gore…
UPDATE : As a co-conspirator points out, why do they both go into the closet with their jackets buttoned up and come out with them undone?
Today’s conference speakers include Gordon Brown, the Venezuelan tyrant Hugo Chavez; and Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe. None of whom were elected head of government in open, free and fair elections.
Guido isn’t sure what Labour MP Kevin Barron was expecting when he agreed to go on Sky News last night – the day details of MPs’ expenses were released. Beforehand in the green room he was lamenting to former LibDem MP Richard Allen that the expenses gravy train had come to an end. Once in front of the cameras he tried to make out he was some kind of reformer. Guido wasn’t having that:
After this on screen exchange he called Guido a rude word. How hurtful…
A lot of people have been asking Guido how his Guy News YouTube broadcasts are doing. “Fantastic” is the short answer, compare the numbers to those obtained by the Labour Party and Downing Street from their official YouTube channels over the same period since the party conference season:
UPDATE : Will Straw still won’t let this go; yesterday Will tried to imply that Spain was somehow the 21st member of the G20 and therefore Britain was not the only member country in recession. Brown obviously works from the same script*, because he also spun that line today. Will is now nuancing his position, arguing that because the Spanish PM has attended a meeting, Spain is an informal member. The Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi attended the G20 annual summit in April, on this evidential basis isn’t Ethiopia an informal member too? The Tories have unearthed a quote that should settle the matter, ‘Spain is not a member of the G20’, or so said the Prime Mentalist himself at a press conference in October last year. This year he wants to pretend it is. Si?
*Remember how the last “independent” left-wing blog turned out to be part-scripted by Damian McBride? Hmmm…
