GOTCHA!

Fooled some readers and bloggers yesterday. Guido will spare the blushes of the leading blogger who explained in detail why Guido's traffic would and should be down. Despite the move and the resultant broken links, traffic is again up some 10% last month, unique visitors: 326,897, pageviews: 478,717. Iain Dale remain's the main referrer - as if Tom Watson would ever be popular.

In the coming months Guido expects big developments in Loans for Lordships, including a new witness coming forward. Gordon Brown's very own Smith Institute will be in Guido's line of fire - expect a direct hit.

This is the blog you love, and they hate.

His Grace is immeasurably impressed by your super-sleuth investigations into the corruption and hypocrisy of this appalling government, and the nation owes you a great debt.

Blessings,

Or as Scooby-Doo and the gang didn't quite say '.and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you pesky Guido..!'

Keep up the good work Guido, I am surprised at how quiet things have gone on the "cash for peerages" enquiry.
No leaking from anyone, even Lord Levy has gone quiet!

Gordon Brown's Crunchy Bogey said...

Bleedin' obvious really if my office is anything to go by.

Guido = No1 fave on everyones browser, god knows how many hours are spent looking at this site!!

Perhaps Gordon will blame you for the reduction in productivity and slump in economic output....better watch out or you could be a victim of extraordinary rendition and end up in some banana republic with electrodes on your squidy bits.

Guido,

You have a fookin' nerve:'In the coming MONTHS (my emphasis) Guido expects big developments in Loans for Lordships...' Can't you see that this whole bally thing is being carefully choregraphed (slow, slow, quick, quick, EVER-SO-SLOW)by Jonny's handlers?

Right now it seems that they have decided it's a safer bet to let Milliband twist his knackers in an 'entrechant dix' rather than let Gordo pirouette onto his tits (encouraged, no doubt, by the former's even more dismal poll ratings).

For the moment 'Powell The Mole' (apparently, only his brother, Lord Charles of Drainwater, pronounces it 'Pole')is more preoccupied with leaking stuff to discredit Brown than forwarding Ruthy's emails to Thames House and VX.

Anyway here's to a glass of Bolly with Heston in the not too distant future.

Pip! Pip!

I feel smug: I didn't fall for it. If your traffic was down, you just would have exercised your editorial privilege and not posted anything about it.

Love the redesign today. It's not only purty, it loads like greased lightning.

Checked the mailboz this morning, zip, so where's my T-shirt then?!?!?

Praguetory is covering Tom Watson today.

I think we should be told just how much attention Douglas Alexander is paying to transport in Scotland in coming weeks......and whether Peter Hain will be batting for free precriptions in Northern Ireland before he clears his desk

backwoodsman said...

so thats about 4 times the membership of nulab every month logging on to find out what those worthless cunts are doing in their desperate attempts to cling to power !

In what, may I ask? Glory? Rotted pig manure?

Thinking of Tom Watson lookalikes I can't help but notice the reports of how Ian McCartney, Minister of State for Trade, hosted a £2500 drinks party apparently out of the Farepak hamper fund, to 'reward' the liquidators and other involved in helping themselves to the money ... oops ...'bringing this unfortunate affair to a swift conclusion'. More trotters in troughs.

the clue was in the date for all the idiot mongs - but they swallowed "the line" just like they always do.

A lot of "them" were probably quite excited yesterday morning, whilst some of "us" were worried & perplexed.

thats visitors not UNIQUE visitors old chap. it's counting every single person who visits the site more than once. why call them unique when they arent? still, well done, 10% ain't to be sniffed at. also, are you surprised traffic fell in february? there were only 28 days!

And to think it had a giant date above it saying "Sunday April 01 2007"

I think that Brown`s pension tax scandal is a much bigger story even than the Smith Institute. And the latest attempt by the Brownites to say that the CBI agreed with the tax is like saying turkeys vote for Xmas.

Tuscan Tony said...

Julian, or even more intriguingly "covered" as in what the stallion did to the brood mare.

You say remain's.

Don't you mean remains'?

Third in the series is up.

javelin said...

Nice to see the Murdoch press turning on Brown after marching him up the hill with his transending dental medication story last month.

Looks like Gordons pensions "bust" is now the biggest financial c*ck-up since the 90% tax rate.

The only question is how may labour back benchers will lose their seats.

An April fool! You rotten sod Guido, don't you know how delicate I am on a sunday morning.

Got in the post today a batch of 50 leaflets headed "Budget 2007, Summary Leaflet". Came from HM Treasury with covering letter signed by Gordon Brown. The leaflet is intended for display in public places.

It has headings such as "Prosperity and Fairness for Families", Promoting Enterprise", Building a Fairer Society" etc. and then details how the budget helps the Government achieve it's strategy under these headings.

Now I may be being pedantic or too eager to find a "wrong" where one does not exist, but this smacks of using funding from HM Treasury to promote Labour Government propaganda (in a Miliband sort of way)!

And no I have not, or have any intention, of either reading or displaying the offending articles.

Now I know why you kept deleting my comments last night...

mutleythedog said...

Well I don't like it, never visit here and I never comment here - so there!

the joker said...

Guido Fawkes, you're beginning to act like the politicians you so openly ridicule,so remember:

The house of commons is a rather odd place-an MP gets up to speak-and says nothing. Nobody listens-and then everybody disagrees.

Savonarola said...

Sir Charles Powell(call me Pole)a lower middle class oik with aspirations decided to call himself Pole a la the late Sir Anthony Powell(call me Pole) the inveterate snob and author of A Dance to the musice of Time. If Pole Jnr tries that stunt at Wormwood Scrubs he can expect something thick long and black up his rectum. Can't wait. Mr Turner ex CBI says Brown is a fucking liar. CBI wrote to Brown to warn him that his grab on pensions would destroy the system.

Oooohh you are a one, aren't you Guido. What a wheeze!! It was sheer brilliance! I feel SUCH a fool!

As the leader of the free world said..

Fool me .. err .. again... err won't get fooled again.. "

I assume the leaks go quiet once you go burning your sources.
