Happy Birthday Gordon
Tories Poll 40% Against Blair / 42% Against Brown

As Gordon celebrates his 56th birthday this morning, we learn that an ICM poll in the Guardian puts Cameron's Conservatives on 40 (+3), Labour 31, LibDems 19% (-4). A gap only seen three times since Margaret Thatcher's day. Labour hasn't polled as badly as this since Michael Foot. On a 40% share the Tories could achieve a parliamentary majority.

When ICM compared Cameron’s Conservatives vs Brown’s Labour vs Ming’s Lib Dems - it got even worse for Labour. The margin widened further to Conservatives 42% (+2): Labour 29% (-3%): LibDem 17% (-3). Happy Birthday Gordon...

I bet that's wiped the cheesy grin off Gordon's ugly mug.

I guess people are starting to see how much influence Brown has had on the Nu-Labour project.

BTW... searched Lexis-Nexis today, articles gone. Good job, you shouldn't stand people spreading lies of that nature.

Brown's chances of taking over from Tony are slipping away fast particularly with the release of this devastating poll.

There's considerable opposition to this backstabbing clown building in the party. Once the preferred Blairite candidate is unveiled just watch Gordon the charlatan buckle under the pressure.

Just how exactly does Gorgon "celebrate" ?
Maybe he allows himself a grimace of a smile as he imagines a middle class old age pensioner having their home confiscated to pay his new wealth tax.
One eyed cunt.

I hear you're a "friend of Gordon" big boy, is that right?

People might be remembering who three people were; the original reformers of the Labour parties economic stance, the ones that were given responsibility to look into funding years before New-Labour won their first election.

Brown, Blair and Smith.

Well Smiths dead. But there is a cosy little institute in his memory.

"In creating a team of Smith, Brown and Blair, we have moved Labour's economic leadership decisively to an extremely orthodox stance on the economy at a time of the greatest economic crisis since 1929" - Ken Livingstone.

As reported by the Guardian on
November 27, 1989

With a new economics team in place that is likely to pull together more cohesively than its predecessor, Mr Kinnock is scheduled to meet the shadow Chancellor, Mr John Smith, Mr Gordon Brown (trade and industry), and Mr Tony Blair (employment) and their deputies tomorrow to see how the economy can be raised even higher in Labour's priorities.

November 13, 1989


"Moreover, Labour MPs such as Mr John Smith, the party employment spokesman, and new members Mr Gordon Brown and Mr Tony Blair made it plain during the committee stage of the bill that the previous compromise on the issue has been opened up -- and opened up for good.
These ideas will no doubt horrify many directors who argue that companies are not the same as unions. But it is difficult to resist changing the rules for companies if those for unions are being altered. Any incoming Labour Government would undoubtedly introduce a reform of the law on political finance, while the Alliance parties have promised a tightening of controls on company contributions."

Financial Times
March 22, 1984, Thursday


Well we've all seen what Labour's attempted to do with political finance. The triad (and now the institute) were planning since 1984.

23 years on, a police enquiry is reaching its head on abuses of laws relating to financing.

And the Charities Comission is investigating whether the Smith Institute is an excuse for Brown to have professionals plan his politics tax free.

Brown is deeply deeply involved with the scandals in Labour. The people know it. He's had his fingers in the pie for far too long. And the public will not forget.

Brown will do for Labour what Bernard Mathews has done for turkeys.
Imagine how grim a Brown birthday party would be with Blinky, polly, sith spivs Geoffrey and Charlie and Tom Watson singing happy birthday Mr. Chancellor like the demented inmates of the fuhrer bunker.

Just remember that the next general election could be as late as June 2010. Broon could do a hell of a lot of damage 'twixt now and then.

anon 9.32am. Quite right. What's needed is a small illusory fillip for the Cleveland, oops, Kirkaldy Steamer - draw him out and have him seek a mandate which I for one do not believe he will get on his own.

Would it not be a very fitting birthday present if Gordimmo had a visit from the good Inspector Yates to explain his part in the cash for peerages scandal?
It seems to me there is a conspiracy in the main stream media not to go after Gordimmo on this issue.
Anymore on the Sith?

birkenhead labour said...

Well well. That poll has really put the cat among the pigeons and opened more than a few eyes in the Labour Party.

From what I'm hearing this morning the tide is turning extremely fast against Gordon and far from walking unhindered into Tony's job he will instead be fighting for his political life, perhaps in the not too distant future.

Watch this space.

Desperate Dan said...

And the beauty of it is that whenever they dream up an attack strategy against Cameron it backfires. The dope smoking story obviously hasn't worked. And when Roy Hattersley sneered at Dave on Question Time over his membership of the Bullingham, Hattersley just sounded like a nasty embittered old man old.

Newmania said...

I see him celebrating by allowing himself the pleasure of boy before returning to the sham marriage he recently invented. Or perhaps breathing thorugh his nose just once.
Taking that silly wig off and giving his poxy scalp a good scratch ?

Jelly ?
Dunno

Minekiller said...

The Tories could double that lead if they actually came out and announced the repeal of much of Nulab's idiot legislation frenzy imposed in the last decade.

Indicative of Nulab disaster that Tories have a poll lead with no coherent policies yet!

Royal Yacht and a new Concorde would be nice too....

That's wrong, Brown doesn't smile so much as just suck his teeth in some less. In fact it is rumoured that the only time you will ever see Gordon Brown really smile is when he is watching his DVD of The Very Best of Andy Stewart and White Heather Club Hogmanay.

Don't any of you silly posters realise,Blair is still in power,he will never,ever leave.The great and the good voted for this nasty little man,they are at fault,serves them right I say.

Anonymous said...

Well I'm from Scotland, and I hate Gordon Brown. What is there to like? He's as false as yer grans teeth when she takes em out to suck me off.

However if there's any country that's going to keep that cunt in power, it's our mob. I know plenty of Civil Servants up here who are quite happy with the status quo, even though the country, slowly but surely, is turning into a police state.

Don't worry though, I will endeavour to punch the teeth out of any Labour voters I meet, post May.

Geezer said...

Birkenhead labour. What bullshit! The Labour Party, in it's own ridiculous, slow and undynamic way, decided to annoint an automatic successor to Blair, straight after Blair was elected leader. The gormless sods, didn't realised that times change, and what looked obvious in 1994, wouldn't be look too clever when Blair left office. It's always been the Tony and Gordon show, and there isn't anyone with the weight, and intact reputation, to challenge Brown. Labour's paymasters in the Unions have been backing Brown for years and the Labour party's, creeky internal mechanics, don't allow for a new canditate to suddenly emerge. They are stuck with Brown whether they like it or not.

bt said...

Only one thing for it, then...

Since it looks as if Toni is the only one who has a hope of stopping Dave from getting an overall majority, he'll just have to postpone his dreams of a profitable retirement and stay on.

I'm sure we'll all be suitably impressed by his self-sacrifice.

AntiCitizenOne said...

Should we trust the poll results?

It IS in the second least reliable paper (The Independant of Reality is #1).

Is this a Brown supporters idea to see who won't be loyal to the Rocking Horse Rider?

bt said...

Of course, our Dear Leader could see this coming and tried, in his kindly and compassionate way to do something about it.

Remember those whispers about El Gordo being psychologically flawed? Do you really think it a coincidence that:

"The Mental Health Bill would allow people with severe personality disorders to be confined if judged a threat to themselves or others."

But the Lords buggered it up.
Now Gordo will have to make do with Care in the Community.
So sad.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has to get a budget through the Commons before the end of March. He'd better start revisiting his plans for taxing us more and misrepresenting economic reality yet again. It would be awful if Blair had to win a vote of confidence for him.

In which constituency does Ming Campbell stand against Gordo Brown and Dave the Man ?


The poll covered personalities not parties

garypowell said...

No no not Elvis it was the little green monster on a job creation project for Bob the builder. My 2 year old son told me. So it must be true.

May I say to people that still believe that George Bush murders his own people, that they urgently seek medical help. You are dangerously crazy, and its about time someone told you so.

George Gallaway, Democratic party, or BBC bullshit is no more trustworthy then anyone elses propergander. My understanding of the world is based on my common sense logic and personal experience of how things work. Not on what an interested political operator spouts. It would be oh so nice if so called educated far lefties/righties ( as all sensible people know there is not now any difference between the two)at least sometimes did the same.

Scary Biscuits said...

My prediction for how this will pan out is thus:

1. Gordo the Sith Lord will manoeuver himself into power unopposed.

2. Before too long he will lose a vote of no-confidence in the Commons, as disaffected Blairites and disappointed trade unionists realise what they've done. Members will also remember what happened to the Tories when they just kept on going with Major, hoping that something would magically happen to pull them out of their nose-dive.

Watch the Scottish elections when the SNP trounce Labour...and then the fun starts.. National road pricing will not work without Scottish Parliamentary approval. With SNP in charge.. no chance..

And ID cards?

Interesting however that that spirit didn't survive into the Act of 2000 that empowers the Electoral Commission to regulate election spending by third parties - except trades unions.

Corrupting the electoral process itself in their own favour... surely not?

He's the biggest financial drugs pusher this country has ever seen.

The debt that has been created and foisted onto this country's citizens will foul the economic pavement for deacdes.
