Guido 2, Miliblogger 0

Miliband has just deleted the blog post (see below) where he broke the civil service rules and used his ministerial office to further party political goals. Given he gets his civil servants to deal with his blog, taxpayers were harmed in the making of this, he should refund the cost out of Labour party funds. By Guido's count this makes the score two-nil.
Miliband is the intellectual future of the Labour party and their next leader after Gordon? God help 'em...

Absolutely agree about cost refund.

This should not be belittled or underestimated.

In addition to cost, pain & suffering of those harmed must be included as well as all consequential losses.

The Member of Parliament for South Shields must be going through a deleting phase today, he's also removed the link to my blog! Is this the sort of reaction to being tagged a gay icon?

(The word verification for this post reads Pyrex. That was some sort of "dishy" item too if I'm not mistaken.)

Curly! You should punish him by coming up with a scheme to unseat him. I want him to be the Portillo moment at the next election, if only just so the gazette will stop putting his face on every page.

I should have kept a copy of my e-mail to the twat, sent after you'd pointed out his, er, cock up.

Guido, have you heard about the £800 million real terms defence budget cuts?

See:

;)

BTW, Well done for getting at the Milliblogger :)

Given that Milliband's blog costs the taxpayer £8150, and he makes 12 posts (on average) per month, by my calculations, that works out as a refund to the taxpayer of just under £57, or £114 if a civil servant puts the same amount of work into deleting a blog post as in posting it in the first place. The taxpayer has as much chance of seeing that refund however as Gordon Brown has of ever winning a general election.

Sorry, that should have read £8,150 annually.

"....works out as a refund to the taxpayer of just under £57, or £114 if a civil servant puts the same amount of work ....."

But & a big BUT

In addition to cost, pain & suffering of those harmed must be included as well as all consequential losses.

A personal injury lawyer for example on assessing the special & general damages particularily of all those harmed would come up I am confident with at last a five figure number (and this likely would not include his fees).

Unfortunately though I agree there is about as much chance of a refund as "amillionpieces" achieving his Portillo moment!

Don't brag, you're dealing with a professional twat!

Seedless at that :)

Where did you get the milimong photo ?
I would classify that as a rabid expresssion and quaranteen the little monkey untill a defra vet can be found to declare him as sane and normal. ( Don't hold youre breath, they aren't his greatest fans.)

Shotgun said...

Sorry just noticed that I forgot to say that Millibland is a cunt...

Hardatwork said...

Seeing as he is a servant of the people he should pay punitive and exemplary damages. £50k or so.

Tuscan Tony said...

Hitch, how do they appear on the statement, Budget Rent-A-Lad?

Curly said...

Wow, is this a fight between Miliband and Guido?

I've just photographed young David with the gloves on, in the boxing ring, with two young pugilists.(This is genuine, no mock up.) He's obviously up for it!
