Guido Fawkes Esq. said...

All Tim's comments are deleted, always.

Anyway, am completely in favour of sweatshops.

Guido Faux said...

Ah I see - it's the blogwars thing.

You must have superduper magical admin powers since there is no 'comment deleted' notice.

What does it say on the back?

"I'll take it up the arse for Tony"

If we could all see a current photo Fawkes we would know that you are also completely in favour of sweetshops.

As others have so rightly pointed out elsewhere , if some people didnt have a job printing these shirts in "sweatshops" they would be starving to death , so what if some of them are children as long as they are not abused , far better that they get three meals a day and shelter rather than living in the gutter and begging.

This is how economies evolve Hazel , although as you have never had had a real job or studied economics you wouldnt understand that.

Dead funny right now on BBC Radio 5.

Some white liberal BBC reporter totally dumbfounded at getting chased out of a street in West Crawley by a gang of Pakistanis screaming "this is paki territory, white scum fuck off outta here"

Welcome to the real world sunshine.

"Anyway, am completely in favour of sweatshops."

As should anybody who favours economic development in the third world. The idea that poor countries can somehow jump forward to a Western standard of living without the sort of conditions we had to endure in the 19th century is laughable. It's as laughable as the idea that these peasants would live in some sort of rural paradise if only they refused to accept capitalism and industrialisation.

My grandparents worked in a sweatshop, a cotton mill in Lancashire for wages barely able to support them and their families. Millions more of the British working class were in the same boat.

Perhaps all you guilt ridden white liberals should start a campaign for the Asian sweatshop workers to be paid enough to keep them in 42" plasmas, 4x4s, and 3 holidays a year on the Costas?

After you've apologised for the slave trade that is.

why do people call lefties liberals, when they are anything but?

Please do not use the term liberal to refer to the illiberal lefty scum.

Nice one Guido.

Do we take it that the chipmunk has never read her 'Das Kapital' - concerning starvation wages?

bit off topic but there leaving it a bit late to stage another phoney terror raid just in front of the local elections.

No, the terror raid will be on the local elections. An anonymous source will inform police that all ballot boxes in areas likely to go Tory have been contaminated with ricin and have to can't possibly be opened. Only postal votes will count.

How much more cynical can we get...

Every bit of national news is now under suspicion of spin from Nulabyrinthe and the lefty panic button boys.

Meanwhile, me and my close and honourable colleagues are continuing to work harder and more steadily to make our business grow. Our pensions are now in the hands of the work we have to do for ourselves over the next five years - and I'm the youngest at nearly sixty. I've now disregarded all the saving we did fifteen years ago - its worthless.

We try not to let national politicians, local authorities, quangos, SEEDA/SWRDA, CABE, National Trust, GLA, ODA, and all the other spongers worry us...

Like f**k!

Every time these weak idiots in 'power' get in the way, they take our money, put our business at risk, spend our time and become arbiters of their fantasies. Also, my poll tax/Income tax is paying their grossly inflated wages (especially in the case of the Kent mob).

I expect no favours from any of my local authority pedestrian personnel. They turn up at their offices, spend my money, and stop any opportunity for development dead in its tracks.

I want to see an absolute whitewash of these sponging councils on Thursday. Nothing better than a complete shut down of Nulabyrinthe will do.

Are these 'fairtrade' t-shirts.

After reading 'No Logo' by Naomi Klein and 'Captive State' by George Monbiot I don't want the blood of a poor exploited third-world peasant on my hands, so if you could explain how you source these ethically, it would really be appreciated.

Thanks

more vulgar than a vulcans vulva said...

Don't give a shit about the Labour party deputy leadership contest.

Don't give a shit about the 3rd world.

Definitely don't give a shit about Hazel Blears.

Rupert bear: I *do* care about this sort of shit; "this is paki territory, white scum fuck off outta here"

Very funny ;-)

Especially since it happened to a BBC reporter!

Surprised he didn't say; "but...but.. I'm on your side!"

mitch said...

can we have a shirt with "gordo stole my pension" id buy it.

Julian said...

There's an old story about when Blears was the uber ID card 'czar' at the Home Office under Blunkett. When told that his new guidedog was going to a black labrador called Sadie, Blunkett is said to have replied,

"shame she isn't a Red Setter called Hazel - I'd have loved yelling 'go to your corner and lie down Hazel you red bitch'"

You are lost to us.

How very interesting, a right-wing statement above concerning the deterministic inevitability of economic history. Sounds like the dialectic to me. The Marxists will be pleased to have gained such converts. Since Lenin is reputed to have been able to explain the dialectic starting from a cup of tea, I suppose starting from the T-shirt must be viewed as progress.

Still, I'm Marxist ... Groucho Tendency ... as they used to say around 1968 in Paris, but only when the spectacle demands it.

The tea shirt should be made in Britan, thick cloth made to stand many washes.If people want to help poor children they should give to charitys who give cash to poor familes directly side steping local cruption .A good campain slowgon would be LABOUR HATES LOOSERS.

Not if you're a BBC reporter, they have standards in Crawley

Trotsky's ghost 9:39AM

Didn't the group 'The Stranglers' do a song - 'No more heroes' where the fate of Trotsky was mentioned?

I wonder if they would update it and do a NuLabour version. This is for when the Labour MPs see the extent of their rout at the hands of the 'Project' leaders. It'd make a change from 'Things can only get better'.

Julian said...

Apart from the obvious Stranglers song 'Go[r]ld[o]en Brown', they already have a song for the new golden age of Gordon, namely The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?
