Guido is Giving Yates a Book for Christmas
Demos think-tank founder Geoff Mulgan was Tony Blair's chief policy guru from 1997 to 2004. He has a book out Good and Bad Power - The Ideals and Betrayals of Government.The title is apt - flick to page 84 for an interesting admission from a man who, when he was at the centre of government, is known to have seen the
odd honours list in his time "In later years the scarcely concealed sale of peerages to wealthy party donors, and the appointment of the party's top donor - Lord Sainsbury - to ministerial office, did little to restore the British public's confidence." Oh really?Clearly a copy of this admission should be sent to Scotland Yard sharpish. Any other suggestions for books for Yates of the Yard? Guido sent him the The Little Red Book of New Labour Sleaze

How about a copy of John Sirica's book "To Set The Record Straight"? Sirica was the judge who presided over the trials of the Watergate burglars/plotters. Yates might learn a few useful tips e.g. start on the small people and work up the chain; threaten maximum sentences for non-co-operation; follow the money etc etc.
"Now what is Yates going to give Guido in return?" - sounds a bit like an effort to bribe a police officer ? You might want to rephrase that one.
Guido. It is conmmendable that you sent Mr Yates a gift. But expecting to get one in return is poor show and not in the spirit of Christmas. Give for the sake of giving. I am sure your Auntie has said as much.
Surely the nicest present Mr Yates can give us all is the warming sight of Tony Blair doing the perp walk.

quid pro quo Yates
come up with somebody extra bad Guido, Im having a gout attack and am in an even worse mood than usual i just need apoplexy and the palsy to finish my day off.
Would love to have yesterdays postings today, Andrew Neil and that bint ???(cant say I blame to old rascal) he looks like a gout candidate that or a chronic arse berry sufferer if that photo is anything to go by.
to misquote hannibal above
quid pro hoe neil
Are you still Nicholas Kennerly, or did you pull that out of the phone book? I am confused. Google (praise be) deems you not to exist.
Guido: Could I suggest a competition to find the shortest book ever written. I suggest the following titles for consideration?
a. the irish book of knowledge.
b. the Italian book of war heroes & honest bankers.
c. The jewish book of gift donating.
d. da hutton book of wisdom?
e. The "Blair" book of truth. [twin authers]
f. The "Booth" book of good taste
g. The brown book of prudence.
h. The blunkett book of stamina
i. The prescott book of decoeum.
Any further suggestions?

Mr H Get yourself some Indocid/Indomethacin pdq. Then for long term prevention either Allopurinol or Sulhinpyrazone.
Well done Guido - this is surely the last nail in the coffin for this sick, corrupt Labour so-called "government". When every member of the British public reads Geoff Mulgan's book in full - which, mark my words, they surely will - there can be no doubt that we will be looking at a landslide for the only party that can give the Great British public their country back - the Conservatives.
Interesting aside: Amazon are claiming this book is only 31,889th in their sales ranking - a bit unlikely given its above-stated importance. Might it be that it is actually number one, but Gordon so-called "Brown" has threatened to shut down Amazon unless it plays down its sales? Of course not...
Any more of your lip, an it will be thhick ear.
Now zip it.

"Oh FFS
he is such a useless little cunt. He spends his whole blog banging on about the number of hits he has and the fact that the lobby system doesn't give it to the people straight, and then he posts a link to a fucking Popbitch thread as one of his stories. He's constantly banging on about how the dead tree press don't tell the people how it is, but the vast majority of his posts are irrelevant follow ups to things they've broken. In summary, he's a fucking arrogant pointless twat and I fucking hate him. Got that Guido? Do post a link up on your blog, won't you matey?"
This "Weasels" (above) has nothing to do with me. The link took me to a site which can be best described as a miasma of bike-shed filth.
Dr C
I dont have a Dr in London , and will not go and sit in A&E for several hours. As to prevention I think avoiding debauchery would be the best solution , And no way will I be going on long term meds.
Neurofen , leg up and water seems to be doing the trick, Im not in Oliver hardy mode yet.
Anyways gout suits a curmudgeon.
weasels
why come here then?
And why so much bitterness directed at a person you have never met nor likely to meet
as long as Guido keeps himself away from soup kitchens ,the local dole office or the G.U.M unit?
peter
i am not the author of above popbitch hate - merely bringing it to guido's attn in case it's of interest. (i am a guido fan).
p.s. sorry wrinkled weasel...
sorry weasels
its my gout,plus im like that anyway (+:
Gout is an acheivement, not a disease. An award for fine eating to blissful excess.
Watch out for Health nazi's carrying calorie Cards.
sorry everyone. Group Hug.
Anyone else seen this?
article suggesting Blair polic interview has already happened
Shurely if we are talking gifts, then our national enigma that is Rt. Hon. A Blair will be giving Mr Yates a peerage at the new year?
Late for Christmas maybe, but it would end this episode in the most appropriately sleazy way.

A Sith inspired campaign in response to Guido shining a light on their clandestine and sordid INSTITUTE perhaps.
Was that an extract from Blair's press conference? Guido must really have needled him
It wouldn't be that Konrad blokey, would it? Someone is mighty angry at Guido.
I have never been able to work out what is wrong about selling peerages. Its better than selling policies as is the case with the tawdry Unions. Nice see Tone fucking it for DA BROON afore he goes with the cap on union funding.
I would like a Title . Can I be
Baronet Newmania of the Western Isles it’s a bit gay but I like it .OOOO go on .......
Apparently banging the affected area with a hammer is good for gout ? Worth a try
Petulant and hsterical, certainly sounds like Konrad ; Gordon's sith smithers.
P Hitchens sitting on his backside with his feet up? When did he join the public sector?
Not sure it's gout. Could be rising damp.
As to prevention I think avoiding debauchery would be the best solution , And no way will I be going on long term meds.
Blueberries and strawberries. Loads of the buggers. This isnt some hippy nettle-tea cure, they contain antho-somethings which are anti-inflammatory.
When you have my liking for port - especially the doubly evil tawney stuff - you learn these things.
Mr H gout. At least my lead roof in W2 will be safe for a while. Trust it will be leg over rather than leg up pdq.
Mr Mulgan's damascene conversion is a form of mea culpa. Geoff go all the way and make a statement before Plod calls you for a chat.
Dr crackers
A lead roof you say?
Would you like me to keep an eye on it for you the next time you are away?
Mr Gisoad port is very acceptable, I just don't see berries curing the problem,
I have to accept that I will end my days wearing a powdered wig, bandaged leg on a footstool, screaming abuse at some thoughtless village wench for having left the window open, I may even scream "damn your eyes man" when the Vicar has the infernal cheek to try and get me to change my ways.
It's all gone a bit quiet on this front guido - any chance they might wriggle out of it?
I may even scream "damn your eyes man" when the Vicar has the infernal cheek to try and get me to change my ways.
this should always be followed by barelling up to him, chest to chest, and with goggling eyes and white flecks of spittle shooting from your lips, hissing "I don't think I like (crescendo) the cut of your jib, sir!"
Not enough people do this nowadays.
Keep an eye out for a twat named Gilbertson. Back in the mid 90's Gilbertson was the Chief Super at Notting Hill. A pillick of the first degree, who'd lost the respect of his troops. Back then, before John Smith died, Blair was house hunting in the Notting Hill area: Gilbertson was his lacky, soon to retire from The Job, and thought by all, to be trying to feather his nest for the future.
I'd hazard a guess, Gilbertson has given 'advice' re the Yates saga.
Does anyone know if Yates is a mason? Is Gilbertson?
yates is too square and sober looking to be a freemason.
don't they like a good booze up?methinks yates would rather be at home with a glass of vino studying the form.
yates is too square and sober looking to be a freemason.
Few reach the dizzy heights at the Yard without being a mason or a member of the Catholic Guild.
Move along now Sir, you are blocking the constitutional rights of the First Lord....come on now or I may have to run you in for Loitering in a Public Blogg....
A blow job?
Perhaps he could buy you a copy of the Michael Ashcroft book 'Dirty Politics, Dirty Times' - after all Lord Belize is something of an expert in these matters.
The US ambassador, George Bruno, recorded Lord Ashcroft boasting that "Belize government officials realise that he has financial resources equal to the Belize government, that his contacts exceed the government's in the international community, and that he is prepared to litigate all the way to the privy council on any issue".
Mr Ashcroft received a round of applause at the Tories' spring forum on Saturday, despite the row about his peerage because of the controversies surrounding him and his bankrolling of the Tory party.
On July 13 the London Times published two leaked foreign office documents. The first involved a telegram written in 1997 by the British high commissioner in Belize, Gordon Barker, cautioning against the appointment of Ashcroft to the chair of the Caribbean trade advisory group. It warned that the Belize government viewed him with “deep suspicion” and remarked that rumors concerning his business deals cast a “shadow over his reputation that ought not to be ignored.”
The Times then published an article which explained that Ashcroft had been index-numbered on the files of the DEA, a step taken only when serious suspicions exist. On the same day Peter Bradley, Labour MP for Wrekin, raised explicit allegations within Parliament. Utilising the legal immunity afforded under parliamentary privilege, Bradley stated that Ashcroft and his companies had been repeatedly mentioned in connection with money laundering by the DEA. Among the most incriminating examples was one document dated April 1994 with the heading: “Intelligence concerning possible air smuggling/money laundering activity undertaken by Michael Ashcroft.”
It was only after this, nine days after the initial accusations had been made, that Michael Ashcroft issued a libel writ against the Times, naming the editor Peter Stothard and two journalists. Tory leader William Hague has resisted calls from inside as well as outside of the Conservative Party for Ashcroft to stand down while he pursues legal action.
