Brillo! Brillo! Brillo!
"The Thick Of It" special had a junior minister who went on TV only to be reduced to a blinking quivering mess by the fictional forceful line of questioning. If only instead of being so craven they were like that in reality, Guido thought to himself.
Yesterday Ed Ball's made fantasy reality. His blink rate per minute went hyper when Andrew Neil asked him about inflation. Why is it lower everywhere else in the Western industrialised world? Ball's smile turned into a stutter, the blink rate doubled, the smile thinned under further pressure. Blinking desperately, Balls is reduced to stroking Neil's ego. No excuses left, even Paddy Ashdown manages to put the boot in with a "Blair won't go until the economy goes bad" crack.

Great Thick of it lines on Swain/Balls' performance:
"He looks like a cow that's been punched"
"what's your favourite band? BLINK 182?"
Ed, as Malcolm Tucker is wont to say "Off you fuck"
rabbit in headlights.
"This is like watching a lion rape a sheep, but in a bad way,”
Which boycott is going best? Lee Jasper's or Tim Ireland's?
Just to give another turn of the thumbscrew, the "Thick" jnr minister was one of the Chancellor's 'Nutters' and being set up by Malcolm / Alistair Campbell
Good on yer, Iannucci
Balls is Brown's homunculus
I always thought Balls was a twat and now I know.
What can you expect with a wanker called Balls?
For a similar stuttering apologetic attempt at an explanation see Kaletsky's article in the times today.
Telling us it isn't really as bad as it seems and that it will get better and don't worry people because for the past ten years inflation has only hit the hard working economically productive people... oh and remember the 1990's when interest rates were high.
Give it a rest Anatole! Tell me how the UK compares today with the 1990's in terms of global competitiveness.
Fab pic of Balls, Guido. He has always seemed to me to be a particular kind of clever fool. Brown is drawn to the type.
The theory of democracy is that people of standing and achievement are elected by their community to represent them in parliament. Balls has no standing or achievement. He is a 100% Brown-made man. He brings no political support to the table because he has no supporters except his own boss. This is how governments eventually curl up and die.
Marvellous link
If only he could have continued the line of questioning..........
if only..
but a lovely comment to put the boot in by Paddy Ashdown
Why don't we see more of Brillo. He's easily the best political interviewer.
Reduced that twat Balls down to size.
The question posed by Brillo, viz. "Why is inflation running higher here than any other country in the EU (including Italy, for God's sake)?remains unanswered by any member of this government.
Has Brillo ever interviewed Gordon Brown or Tony Blair? He would eat them for breakfast.
Balls only talent is to suck up to his master Brown and obey him totally. He is the type beloved of control-freaks and tyrants everywhere.
As for Brown it's clear his trip to India is turning into a disaster. He fled there to escape flak over the runaway inflation figures but also planned to try tapping up rich Indian businessmen into financially supporting Labour.
Sadly for Gordo the only thing the Indians want to talk to him about is why a gang of British pondslime are being allowed to abuse their favourite actress.
Where are you going to run to next Gordon?
Trumpeter L: If Balls had the balls he'd have answered the question with Unfortunately the large increase in government spending beyond the rate of growth in the underlying economy has stoked service inflation and the global increase in fuel, energy and lubricant costs has been unfortunately exacerbated by the increase in fuel duties the Government introduced in the pre-budget report. Sadly it looks like we've fu*ked it up
Anon at 8:47 "He is a 100% Brown-made man". Are you inferring that he is full of shit? Seems about right to me.

You go and demonstrate, old chap, if it makes you feel better. It's pissing with rain outside so personally I might tune in to BB and see if I can catch a glimpse of you through their window. Be sure to wave, won't you.
Would that be a case of Big Brothers watching you, watching you
He and his spouse are meant to be quite the intellectuals apparently......lol. In reality he will be the patsy in No.11 for Brun's 'economic miracle' (credit binge).
Oh and CBB fans - watch Til death us do part instead - Nuff said aye.

Is that you Gaz?
Yep, Jade for PM.
Prime Mingister seems to fit well.
Is that you Gaz?
No. just a Northerner watching his greenhouse blow away ,it's not just Southerners who can read and use computers, and detests what's happening to this country
New Labour's shallow, "celebrity-obsessed", live for today, borrow-to-spend, drink-sodden society has produced the three Big Brother chav slappers Jade, Danielle, and Jo.
You can see loud-mouthed pissed-up mingers just like them on the streets of every town and city most nights of the week.
Now we've got them presented as "celebrities" performing their moronic bullying behaviour for our "entertainment" on the telly every night.
But try standing up to these lowlifes and *you're* the bully. What a fucked-up country this has become.

Re:Anonymous 10:26
What a load of tripe an garbage.
Guido you should delete the shit,
these people are typically one sided in their sanctimonious claptrap. They demand fairness yet demonstate against a ballerina because she has the courage to join a political party (BNP) and support a cause, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of our democracy.
A pox and plague on these leftie scum....one hopes that come the day there will be enough lamp-posts and rope.
WHAT A WINKER!
BB should have no room for racists! Kick Shilpa "white-trash" Shetty out of the house this minute! How dare she malign the trash community as being only one colour. Benefit addicts come in all shapes sizes and colours.
Actually the "white-trash" comment was by Jermaine Jackson.

Why didn't you say?
With that illustrious company who could refuse the invitation/
I'll go get me coat...
Overpromoted, overwhelmingly in love with himself, incapable of entertaining opposing views...hmm, like mentor, like mintee
Ed Balls has the additional baggage of losing his seat (titter ye not), and is desparate to remain an MP rather than being consigned to the dustbin.
As for the stats, Brillo should be asking if we can trust the figures being bandied about, the ONS has history of massaging and fudging and we all know that NuLab is capable of anything in its remorseless and ruthless desire to remain in power.
Er......Daivid Cameron is a UAF supporter
Piss off and come back with something amusing. Guido operates a NO PLATFORM FOR BORES policy.
David even
Funny enough?
Didn't anyone else wonder why, if Jenny Scott has written a textbook on economics, she wasn't asking Ed Balls the questions? Is she just there to look pretty and read an autocue?

ABB,
"global increase in ... lubricant costs".
Let us hope that Ed has stockpiled some for his own use.
This blog is getting very hostile.
Guido Fawkes is definatley becoming the jade goody of blogging.
I will bare it with shilpa like dignity.

OOO goody!!!! Do we get to toss off over his arse?
It looks like it's scouse minger Danielle Lloyd who's going to have to "fuck off home" now Teddy Sheringham's just announced he's chucked her.
Hello rifleman, me old mate No
Please dont put me in the same group as the other Anon ,Iv'e never voted for Labour since when was it 1974 the Yes Yes referendham and never bought newspaper since then except 1 1982 Gotcha very sick ,never voted for the Cons , we only have the greens here ,how many time Ive walked to the polling staions and never voted , but all I hear we are lazy bastards no Iam not bnp ,uaf or any other crap ,just starting to watch this country fall apart
Gulpy Gordo and Blinky Balls....what a great future for our great nation. With Bumbling Bush , transatlantic conference calls should be a blinking howl.
...Back to the Ball roasting.
Ball's emergency mode ego stroking of Brillo was entirely cringe making, wasn't it?
Most amusing. Well done Andrew for doing some research and asking a direct question.
The Hapless Spheroid still didn't answer the question though.
Just a shame Cameron and Co. aren't putting NuLab under such pressure.
PS, Anything more on Yates' probe?

Nearly off topic, but have you seen the picture of ed Ball's glorious boss, currently being displayed on the BBC news website?
It would appear he has been given a turd necklace as opposed to a pearl one.

Indians take British govt to court over 'racist' rules
LONDON: An estimated 30,000 Indians who left the mother country to work in Britain on the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) have begun the fraught task of taking the UK government to court for its allegedly racist new immigration policies.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Indian_workers_take_British_govt_to_court_over_racist_rules/articleshow/1026865.cms
Brillo used to give Major's ministers a similar well informed grilling and boy did they squirm.
Glad to see he's still got it in him after his late night cavorting with Abbott and Portillo.
Has our country slipped so low that the media and huge numbers of the public now appear to regard loud mouthed, moronic grotesques like Jade Goody and Danielle Lyoyd as celebrities and even role models?
Bread and circuses.
Let the suckers choose their celebrities.
Mixed race Jade Goody must be the best argument yet against miscegenation.
Her feckless Jamaican daddy must be so proud of his little girl.
Balls was probably sent on to the programme to remind viewers that the Chancellor was in India. To promote trade er... and make arrangements to export a few thousand more jobs. The lobby must be relieved that the CBB row has given them something to write about in India - without this they would have had no story to justify their expenses.
Brown's also there touting for more Indian businessmen to support New Labour. There's Government contracts in it as a reward.
Good Lord,
just when I was starting to regret that I was a tiny bit too young to enjoy the eighties properly, along comes some moonbat demanding a 'No Platform' policy for anyone whose views he disagrees with, and calling anyone who questions this demand a fascist.
I thought the whole point of New Labour was to give you lot something productive to do with your time. I'd like my money back.
Jade Goody is a 'celebrity supporter' of New Labour.
I can't see them disowning her however, for fear of losing the chav vote.
"The knives are out at the Treasury for Paymaster-General, Dawn Primarolo, after she let slip the news that seven hundred Revenue and Customs jobs are to be axed on Merseyside. At a private meeting earlier this week, Red Dawn was cornered by local MPs and inadvertently confirmed the job losses. "
