Guido saw that this video had only got 2 views and thought it deserved a wider audience:

Though Tom Harris might want to have a quiet word in the ear of his fellow Labour MPs Tom Blenkinsop, Ronnie Campbell, Martin Caton, Katy Clark, Michael Connarty, Jeremy Corbyn, David Crausby, Jim Dobbin, Jim Hood, Kelvin Hopkins, Gerald Kaufman, John McDonnell, Alan Meale, Linda Riordan, Virendra Sharma and Marsha Singh. They all signed up to heap praise on UK Uncut, whose spokesman last night refused to condemn the violence.

The National Union of Teachers really must do better.

1/10, see Guido after school…

Not for the easily offended:

Very professionally done with clearly a wadge of cash behind it. Guido wonders who at the BMA is that down with the kids…

Trade union fat cat Bob “lets tax email” Crow has  been at the type-writer again. An RMT press release said today:

“Government plans to slash already inadequate health and safety inspections will give the green light to employers to cut corners and cause more workplace deaths and injuries…When ConDem ministers talk about easing regulation what they mean is removing it, and when it comes to health and safety that is a charter for death and injury.”

The nonsensical hyperbole peaks with:

“The message that the government is sending with these cuts is that nothing, even the lives and health of working people, should stand in the way of profit, and these plans are part of the government’s general attack on working people.”

Everyone got the memo? The ConDems are killers.

It all becomes clear. We’ve all been so blind, but now finally someone has joined up the dots and shown us the truth. Labour front bencher Karen Buck has solved the mystery of why the government are cutting Housing Benefit. It is to force “black women, ethnic minority women and Muslim women” out of London obviously. Silence from Ed…

As Dizzy is reporting, UK Uncut are proudly boasting that they hacked into Vodafone’s website for about twenty minutes. Well done them.

The Police Central E-Crime Unit is a highly skilled team dealing with computer and cyber crime committed under the Computer Misuse Act 1990, primarily the offences of hacking. The sort of offences they look at are illegally hacking websites and then press releasing how and why you did it. Incidentally you can give them a call on 0300 123 1212 to report a non-emergency crime.

Guido’s student politics days are long behind him, but sometimes there is BS too good not to call out. A Labour hack to the core, NUS President Aaron Porter has announced he will not be seeking re-election less than 24 hours after his complete re-election plans were leaked, and subsequently shredded. He claims he was confident he would have won the April ballot, yet decided he won’t be running citing hard left bullying. Where have we heard the one about flunking “an election because he thought he was going to win it” before?

Instead of going with grace and dignity after a student was sent to prison for  nearly killing a policeman on a march that was poorly planned by Porter he shirked responsibility. Subsequently humiliated to the point of being taken into police protection from a crowd of students he later smeared as anti-Semites. The makings of a true Labour politician. So while Porter waltzes off into management consultancy or the like, hopefully we will see the NUS rightfully taken back by the loony-left and used as a mouthpiece for their bonkers plans.

Today’s order of the OTT goes to the leader of Manchester Council for comparing government cuts to an IRA bomb. Writing in the Manchester Evening News sick Sir Richard Leese said:

As the cuts start to bit so the darlings will increase their rhetoric and hyperbole. While not always agreeing with Alan Bennett, Guido usually has a lot of time for his way with words. Sadly he lets himself down badly in today’s Guardian:

“Closing libraries is child abuse.”

Cue the world’s most depressing short story about that.

Thanks to the excellent David MacLean for the tip.

Early Day Motions are a good way of gauging some of the more extreme elements of the Commons. Every so often one comes up that shows members true colours. Take for example EDM 1334:

“That this House notes the Morning Star is a national daily newspaper available in shops across the UK; further notes that it is the only socialist daily newspaper in the English language worldwide; further notes that the Morning Star and its management have strong links with the trade union movement; welcomes the different light it shines on news and current affairs from that of other daily newspapers; expresses concern that the Morning Star is rarely ever shown on or reported by the BBC on television and radio; and calls on the Director General of the BBC to ensure that the Morning Star is featured regularly and as a matter of course in broadcast newspaper reviews in the interests of fair and balanced reporting.”

It was put forward by none other than Harman’s PPS Ian Lavery, of cover up fame, and keep an eye on the rest of his looney supporters:

Labour Party
Campbell, Ronnie. Caton, Martin. Corbyn, Jeremy. Cryer, John. Francis, Hywel. Hepburn, Stephen. Hopkins, Kelvin. Lavery, Ian. McDonnell, John. Mearns, Ian. Morris, Grahame. Nandy, Lisa. Owen, Albert. Riordan, Linda. Sharma, Virendra. Skinner, Dennis.

Liberal Democrats
George, Andrew.

Plaid Cymru
Edwards, Jonathan. Llwyd, Elfyn.

Scottish National Party
MacNeil, Angus.

A useful starting list, come the revolution.
