Don't Go Blair!
The nose picking, nail chewing, always mincing, hair greasing, cluster-headache suffering, pension grabbing stealth-taxer also tucks his trousers into his socks? Inevitably Labour reaches a poll low not seen since Michael Foot in 1983 and the bookies shorten the odds on the Tory favourites to win the general election.Remind Guido why they are getting rid of three-times-winner Blair early?

Hmm..maybe Blair can stay - IF he fires patronising patsy..
Go on, it worked over road pricing, it might work again..
Something to do with an attempted coup some 8 months ago ?..
Isn't the kicker here Guido that the so-called 'Deputy Leadership' race will turn into a scramble for the top job once people will realise it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, given that Gordon will only have leadership prised from his 'cold, dead hands' ?
Now Blair could create a crisis requiring him to stay longer and thus stay out of Plod's reach, wouldn't that upset the cart ?
i) And Gordo didst take off his socks during the treasury meeting to chew the fungus from his toenails, and then he did put on his socks wrongly, and verily the impoverished multitude of his slaves laughed and mocked at his apelike habits, and so it was that the temple of the Labourites in their great confusion and panic did despatch their army of bilious dullards to troll them.
arly hours and I'm reading the early editions. I've got a very bad feeling.
Spain's economy is about blow under the combination of a mega trade defict, a property boom and too-low Euro interest rates.
And the UK - also in a property boom- could need highish rates for some time to come. Gordo has built mega-spending into the very structure of the economy. The future tax take that will need to be sustained makes the head spin.
Gordo once said there are only two types of Chancellor, those who fail and those who get out in time.
Perhaps it's Blair who is getting out in time.
The housing boom started virtually as Blair stepped into No10....and I also think that lying arse also kept a lid on Labour's true lefty instincts.
I dunno, but I have a bad, bad feeling about the Gordo era.
The working class supported Bl-liyer ,when we relized he was conning us with promises or, just talk,the game was up.Forcing down pay for the low payed.High taxes for the low payed.Withdrawing support for the short term unemployed who have high liveing costs to mantain.The importing of cheep labour wile claming the government were doing their best to stop none uk people entering the country,Were in fact alowing it by defalt, on action.
I want Blair back!
AT home, presumbaly he's the sort of person who emerges from the bathroom with his kilt tucked into his jockeys.

Is that you in there, Gordon?
what does "duster headache suffering" mean?
Because they're all trots at heart.
you would of think the official "arse wiper" Ed Balls would of been on hand to help out with those awkward trousers?
It's pretty unusual to give people with mental issues a tie - I expect it's one of those elastic ones they give to the police.
Don't get too misty-eyed Guido.
Blair has appalling Halitosis and thinks that reading 12th century theological texts whilst on holiday is "fun".
He's also married the indescribably evil Medussa through a weird subconscious desire for a female dominatrix (to compensate for no mother) and has an astonishing ability for self-hypnosis.
In other words, Brown looks like (and acts like) a weird twat, whereas Blair looks (and acts normal) but is almost an even weirder twat.
Anon 7.09 ... how can they be 'Trots' and 'Stalinists' at the same time? But yes, I believe that Leon Trotsky did tuck his permanent revolutionary trousers into his very red socks. Michael Foot for Labour leader ... now there's an idea Guido ... we should all remember that we read it here first.
You have to admit, this is cutting edge stuff. Keep it up Guido. Michael White will be eating his words soon enough!
The sweetest music to my ears would be to hear Alex Salmond announce that, following a massive SNP victory in a couple of weeks time, he is immediately seccessioning Scotland from the Union. Time this to the same day that Blair announces his resignation and wait for the explosion as Chancellor Slime Pickings realises his dreams have floated down the Firth, just like last weeks untreated sewage.
I have a feeling that trousergate/ nosepickergate is going to run and run. At least on this blog.
Dear Guido,
If you are around this evening please come to Shelter's - housing next decade - seminar with Charles Clarke and Professor John Hills at 6.30pm, 7 Millbank, Rm E (ground floor), London, SW1
For further information contact Victoria Silver victoria_silver@shelter.org.uk
Only "they" can explain why "they" are getting rid of it.
From the outside it does have a lemming/sado masochistic/turkeys & christmas feel to it... in particular for 75-100 labour MP's.
I am totally in favour of the Labour party electing/coronating a loser as its leader in advance of the next election.
Gordon only met Bush for the first time a couple of weeks age.
The boy wonder George Osbourne is Bush's guest at the White House today.
That's got to go down well.
Talk about sock muppets. Dear Guido this is beneath you.
"The boy wonder George Osbourne is Bush's guest at the White House today."
I wonder how much air-time that will get on the BBC news bulletins?
After they show-cased Brown's trip last week to tell everyone what a statesman the nose-picker is!
I suspect the BBC will do what they have done for the last ten years, and ignore anything the Conservatives do, unless they can find a stick to beat them with!
I like Blair now, his voice seems so soothing and irrelevant. Much better than when people took him seriously and listened to what he had to say. The longer he stays on in this state the better.
It's his underlings Patsy, Gordy and Milly who I worry about.
Maybe he's the political manifestation of the Electoral Suicide Bomber.....followed by Miliblink ReNuLab lemmings
Seems like some of the crowd still want more. Personally I've had more than enough thank you. Brown will, of course, be worse but Blair did tell you...
Much as I'd love to stay on preserve Labour's downward tragectory, Blair's got to go cos he's not got the balls to Govern. He only went into the Iraq war because it seemed safer to him than siding with France. If he had any backbone, he'd have sacked Brown, or at least promoted him to Foreign Secretary, then perhaps Brown wouldn't have stymied his government for 10 years.
My vote's for John Reid.
Bliar - definition. Liar, cheat, low down, thieving, manipulative, despicable, arrogant, common. hateful LIAR - get rid.
Brown - definition. Failure in waiting...........
Anon. 7.08 I think Guido means "cluster headaches." These are defined by Wikipedia as "suicide headaches" because they are so bad the sufferer feels like topping themselves.
Looking at the picture of our future nose-picking PM I think I've got one coming on.
I just cannot get away from the following recurring thought:
With no obvious second candidate to stand againt Gordon Brown and the poll ratings for New Labour sinking fast the only way out is to take the nuclear option of having a leadership contest between Brown and Blair.
It could happen - with Blair pledging to hand over to whoever is the elected Deputy leader sometime after the next election. An election to sort out the Granita agreement once and for all and to allow David Miliband and others to stand for the leadership without having to go up against Gordon Brown directly.
I suspect the Parliamentary Labour Party might think this a good solution if John Reid says he really is not going to stand.
Come on Reid, after those not so subtle hints on TV, you can do it.
You know more about the reality of running this Government after all those Minsterial jobs than Gordo or Ed.
As Gordo is now reluctant to be seen meeting other cell members he is now communicating in code, via TV news broadcasts. The trouser in LEFT sock, is a clear sign that the boot must now be put in to McDonnell and Meacher.
Stand up and be counted! Petition for lie-detectors for Ministers
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Stop-the-Lies/
"It should be mandatory for Politicians to be subject to a lie detector test during speeches in Parliament, when addressing the nation or when being interviewed.
This is the only way we the public can trust a word they say."
The sock thing - could it be a sort of weird Masonic sign? A visual cry of "Help - I'm in trouble!!!"
word verification skidrao - ominously clsoe to skid row...
pro-patrea 10:23
Thanks for the link, an excellent idea! If enough people sign what is the betting that lie-detectors will suddenly drop in Ministerial importance to be behind that of legislation on drains?
He's been found out as an unmitigated theiving, lying, cheating, conniving, corrupt, incompentent, indifferent, inefficient, little shyster failed lawyer, married to an ego driven, money grubbing hag-bag, who'se had his hand in the till.
Really Guido, such an unnecessary question to ask of regulars.
"Gordon: I am a maths dunce"
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007190123,00.html
Chancellor then made another gaffe when he joked to a schoolboy: “I did maths at school and for one year at university.
“I don’t think I was ever very good at it — and some people would say it shows.”
Is it me or is snot1 wearing boots ,Iv'e tried to enhance the pic but the res is to low.
I don't know why they are getting rid of Blair early but He must have done something Very Very Bad indeed for them to replace him with Gordo.
Most of them will lose their Jobs at the next election as a result of this, so it will be fascinating to find out what Blair did that was so wrong.
The obvious question that still remains unanswered is, just why does Gordon Tuck his trousers into his socks?
I bet that just like john major he also tucks his shirt into his Y fronts
Am I being slow or is your description of Broon as
the nose picking, nail chewing, always mincing, hair greasing, cluster-headache suffering, pension grabbing stealth-taxer
a nod in the direction of the Daily Mirror's description of the Liberace as a
deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love
If so, does anyone know if the two gentlemen connected in any other way?
TT
The resemblance is uncanny
not so much separated at birth
as
separated by crowbar.
Quite so Hitch, you put it with your usual elegance and perspicacity. It might also have been said of them, "the wee timorous beastie with two backs."
The word verify is particularly apposite - "fujrj", presumably pronounced "fudgerudge".
the Hitch said... TT
The world of Guidos' was again today assailed with another wearisome posting by the thicko of the forum "Hitch"."Hitch" known for posting the same post again and again ad nauseam once more brought nothing new for the members to digest, and now merely observing the name "Hitch" is sufficient reason to ignore the twit and move on to more consequential comments.The usual obscenities however were in evidence although the saddo thinks that rearranging these same obscenities makes his effort positively riveting.
Can you get odds on Blair doing a u-turn and staying. In fact I'm surprised he hasn't already started making noises about needing to stay on to fix the woe. You heard it hear first.
This riveting topic of the Brown sock inspires a brief spasm of deductive logic:
No information is given on what time the photo was taken, but the even lighting on the faces and the fact that the subjects are 'standing on their own shadows' implies a bright overcast a couple of hours either side of noon.
One would surmise that a prominent politician, surrounded constantly by acolytes and admirers, would be unlikely to get past 10 o'clock without such an obvious deficiency in his dress being brought to his attention.
One toyed briefly with the possibility that a trouser cuff may have temporarily lodged on a boot top (for lace-up high rise footwear this does indeed seem to be). Perhaps during the process of exiting a vehicle. However, experiment with suitably full-cut trousering and similar bootage disclosed a tendency for the cuff to catch on the front of the boot and hang down at the back or to catch at the back and hang down at the front but never did the observed 'bloused' effect occur.
One may well surmise that this is a man who has very recently changed his socks.
The question is of course, why?
Most of us leave home of a morning in the day's socks and return in the evening in the same pair. Some even make the same pair suffice for a couple of days without undue comment. So what sort of person is already on his second change of hosiery in the middle of the day?
One turns to the photograph accompanying the Friday Caption Competition and notes once again the schoolgirl theme. Could the two photographs have been taken on the same occasion? Alerted, one studies the physical isolation of the Chancellor. One is drawn to the grimace on Jowell's face. One turns to the leaping figure in the foreground and wonders if her flight is one of escape rather than athleticism?
Could another of the Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath's unfortunately not so well kept secrets be that he is the possessor of a pair of what can be colloquially described as 'stinky plates'? Could the tightly laced boots be an unsuccessful attempt to keep the hideous vapours in check? Given the greasy, unwashed hair and the unsavoury personal habits it would certainly be in character.
My submission for the Wednesday Caption Competition:
'Schoolgirl with fortunately severe head-cold cheerfully accompanies Chancellor after directing him to the staff cloak-room'
Sarah was pleased when her doctor told her that the infection that had been troubling her was responding to treatment.
"You know, we could also do something about that persistent sinusitis" he said. "It's a very simple procedure and you would be out of hospital the same day."
"I'd much rather you didn't" Sarah replied.
because brown was brought in to win it in 2005 - and the tories have the VW passat version of the audi 4 blair.
Gordon Brown = Prime Minister Rain Man
Guido needs reminding.Only too pleased to help.
It is to win a fourth term.
When you wake up after the night before, it will not be your hangover that gives you the most grief, it will be the headlines.
I love the smell of Tory defeat before breakfast.
gary
I'll be looking out for guido promoting the virtues of Blairism in the future.
Or not.
You mean, "Don't go Blair, go Gordon"?
Seems to contradict the rest of your posting.
Or did you mean "Don't go, Blair"?
My wife, who is a nursery school teacher, says little boys can never get dressed properly. They put their clothes on back to front, tuck the wrong things into their trousers and generally cannot get their act together.
Little girls, apparently, get dressed rapidly and with remarkably dexterity.
what does "duster headache suffering" mean?
7:08 AM, April 25, 2007
For your information, Cluster Headache is a rare neurological disease. Sufferers experience headaches that begin rapidly and reach such severity that they reduce grown men to tears. Neurologists who study the condition say that it is possibly the worst pain known to mankind. Yet the cause is unknown and there is no cure at present. To use "cluster headache" in the same context as nose picking and mincing is extremely offensive to CH suffers. What if the illness was MS or cystic fibrosis? Would you include it in the same way?
