Balls Goes Ballistic

A co-conspirator emails about a recent lunch organised by sleazy lobbyists LLM. Ed Balls spoke and went completely mad about criticism of the spending review. He ended up shouting that if the CBI and the TUC didn't like what he was doing they should get on and do their own. Is the heat getting to him?

Oh dear. Was Mr Balls also foaming at the mouth and hopping up and down when he said this? Did his eye have a dangerous gleam?

He should be restrained, surely.

Paul Linford said...

How could they tell he was shouting?

Maggie Thatcher Fan said...

Obviously talking a load of balls as per usual.....

Matt said...

Balls by name, talks Balls by nature.

Rick said...

Balls is just jealous that his "stepfather" had another son and he must fight for attention

Chris Carter said...

He's not good at shouting.
On 'Question Time' a while ago he went into 'outrage' mode in respect of a question (I think) about Labour sleaze...and was hissed for his pains.

surely its about time the Labour leadership said 'this is our policy, like it or lump it'?

Surely 'Margaret Thatcher fan' who posted on this would be all in favour.

You can't say Labour are spin obsessed and then moan when they agressively brush aside carping from interest groups.

Labour people I know don’t seem to think much of him, but I’ve always thought he came across as one of the more decent and bright ones. I don’t see what’s so wrong with telling the CBI and TUC that they can both fuck off.

Balls is out of his depth

Who said I/we can't.
Labour New and Old are spin obsessed, and when the spin is found to be bullshit, they carry on regardless, ignoring any criticism.
Lets see....
ID cards, Iraq War, Means testing, Tax Credits, Police force mergers, throwing billions at the NHS with no real result, Dentist contracts,Home Office (too many to mention) to name but a few..
The good ship New Labour is holed below the waterline, and there aren't enough buckets to bale out the water.
Captain Pugwash Blair is on ther Bridge, the water is up to his neck.. PC Plod comes along "Allo Allo, Allo,"........anything you do say will be given in evidence" and the ship slips silently beneath the waves.

You'd think that such a clever man would know not to babble so much...

WmByrd said...

The CBI and the TUC? At least it's all only left-wing carping then.

He isn't babbling - he's fighting the demons..........

Balls-baiting - Indiscriminate abuse of an arrogant person with sole purpose to making said person lose temper. Gaining popularity since turn of millennium. Set to be a national sport by the time GB starts leading Labour.
