That Taxpayer Funded Non-Political Blog Again
When the Treasury finds out it is paying for this someone is going to be in big trouble. How did this get through moderation? If you have a civil servant paid a pro-rata rate of some sixty grand to do the moderation you'd at least expect them to be attentive given the controversy.Da Fink reckons that the Miliblogger would be liberated and change from the Steve Davis of political blogging into something more interesting if he was on a Labour party hosted, rather than a Civil Service restricted, blog. Guido is not convinced that even uninhibited free association wonk-speak would be that interesting. Ever.

'... one valiant official spends part of his time posting blogs and comments ..' - and there you have it, a Civil Service funded astro-turfer!
Its not only the "poor" civil servants fault his master also condoned the comment..... interesting!

Another example of NuLab abusing the Civil Service
OT
Laugh of the day, the goverment want police to be more accessible,
red tape anyone.
I see David's mum has started posting !
Leave David Miliband alone. He is going to save us from a disastrous 2 years of a Brown Premiership.
£30 an hour for not reading a blog. I'd like some of that.
miliband for prime minister 10:55 AM
Yeah, a tough choice - "definitely shafted" v. "yet another wonk".
Miliband is our hero! Tim Ireland for President.
Tim Ireland ate my hamster
Hampster ate Milibrain

Why is our Frank showing on his blog, a header of the Liverpool waterfront ,for cryin out loud your'e an mp for Birkenhead, opposite riverbank Frank or doesn't the Birkenhead skyline look as nice hmm.
anonymous:11.17am. Frank couldn`t possibly show the waterfront of Birkenhead as it`s a dismal dump unlike the Liverpool waterfront, with the majestic Liverbirds and surounding World Heritage listed buildings.Typical of NuLab spin !
According to the Millipede his 'valiant official' spends just 30 minutes a day on the job.
Impossible!

Don't worry you wait until you have to pay the bill for 2008, and just wait until they put that canal across the World Heritage site , have they lifted that landing stage sunken landing stage yet ,just in front of a World Heritage site, must pop down to Woodside ferry ,oh I forgot they even renamed the old Birkenhead ferry boats ,I suppose I could go to Mathew street and go into the Cavern , oh forget they knocked the origional down ,when the put the loop line in Liverpool and Bootle the scrap steel and windmill capital.
Just watched the blessed Blairs acting out one of their final legacy acts at Westminster Abbey (re "National Commemoration of the Abolition of Slavery") shaking hands with the welcoming dignitaries! Cherie even had a hat on! At least they arrived before the Queent this time!God I hope she doesn`t burst into an impromptu song or worst still give an oration (Cherie that is, not the Queen!)Nothing to do with Milliblinks mind but he is the annointed son and heir to the Blair dynasty!
I want Brown goddammit!!
I'll sacrifice 24 months of shite Brownite rule for total Labour drubbing in 2009 that will put them in the wilderness for a decade.
Milliband might actually do ok PLUS keep the same old crap policies and people on board. We'd never get rid of the sods.
Go Brown!!
10:55 Milliband for Prime Minister
..was that Frank Field himself?
Guido, you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with David Miliband ?
Do you fancy him, or summink ?

Got it in one!
Just gone thru/fallen asleep only reading "One planet playlist" on Miss Millies Band blog (OK 40 comments which is above average) but took me 10 minutes (of my lunch break) & I didn't even read all the lyrics!
ALSO FOUND "I think you should go for Tony's job"
I claim my £30!
LP to forward to Guido please
Note to the valiant anonymous £30 an hour blogging civil servant
"Guido and I want our links back in place!"
This should only take you about a minute, so here's another 50p from my tax!
11:49 AM Always thought Franky was old labour ,that's why he couldn't be king of any castle ,esp pensions
merely bland is unibrow frog boy
Fucking hell! A bunch of sock puppets and tax dodgers complaining about the government wasting money on sock puppets! Where will it all end?
An important person such as myself can't possibly spare the time to manage a blog. Today, for example, I have to go for my testosterone injection and then I'll be spending the rest of the day celebrating slavery.
[To the IT consultant: Please check this over and then send it to that nitpicking blogger who's so hyper-alert about what's not allowed on blogs. He's like a dog with a bone once he gets an idea into his head.
And send a copy to Cherie who's so kindly offerd to mastermind my leadership campaign.]
How many Miliband posts does this make again? I forget.
And how about some more Sith 'revelations'?
Yeah, how about some totty for a change, Millibland is totty not.
I totally refute allegations that my defra blog is party-biased...
Upcoming pieces are to include a hoticultural history of the red rose.
Is hoti ...... tottie?
Anon:12.07pm Re-sunken landing stage at Liverpool Pier Head : If it was built at Camel Lairds Birkenhead what do you expect !
I call miliband 'Gomez'. It's that 'tache-thang.
" A milibone a day
will keep the good Dr. Reid away"
red rosie 2:05pm
rrr...fair point...I'm not quite ready for the Education portfolio yet.
However,
"Is hoti ...... tottie?"
well this is an interesting academic question...
to which you'll find a stimulating answer here.
No NuLab despatch box should be without one.

Cammell Laird was closed by Thatcher, remember the oil rig sit in/on, the thing is are they going to move the sunken landing stage before next year,or is it a perm feature for the City of Culture , the joke I like by the PR is The Three Graces, why can't they say the building's names ,it is a lovely waterfront but how long for.
Your redesign is shite
"A bunch of sock puppets and tax dodgers complaining about the government wasting money on sock puppets! Where will it all end?"
What's so shameful about dodging tax? Why should people be forced to fund services they don't use? those that they do use (roads etc) are probably funded via the VAt they have to pay.
Anonymong:17.17pm As most people know in Liverpool the World Heritage buildings on the waterfront are called The Liver Building , The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Buildings(formerly The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Building).I do not know who coined the phrase "The Three Graces". Must have been some silly Nulab PR person !
