Cameron Copies Bertie Ahern
The Galway Races were on last week - a huge part of the season over here matched only by Cheltenham or Ascot. New Irish money means that the sky is full of helicopters at an event that all of Irish society attends.The Irish premier, Bertie Ahern, is a cute fund raiser and his party, Fianna Fail, hosts a big fund raising tent at the races which through a combination of alcohol and gambling bravado regularly raises six-figure sums over the week. It possibly raises more, but with Bertie and Fianna Fail you never know where all the money goes...
So it is with some amusement that Guido learns that Dave is going to try something similar. According to the WestMidlands Conservatives website "the Conservative Party Treasurers’ Midlands Income Generation Board has teamed up with Uttoxeter Racecourse to provide a special fund raising race day for the Party, both locally and regionally. The Party Leader, David Cameron MP will be attending along with other members of the Shadow Cabinet as well as senior MPs and MEPs from around the country."
Place your bets please...

Where's the banner headline screaming about the YouGov poll lead for Livingstone over the Tories' buffoon of a candidate?
I love the races. Maybe I'll accept this invitation.
Uttoxeter is hardly on a par with Ascot or Cheltenham - or Galway come to that. In the words of my old school reports, "Could do better".
OT, it's just been announced that John Cresspot, Most Creative Fuser of the English language since Shakespeare, has decided to Store his Celery. The appearing date of his biology should be a proud day for publishing.
sorry, it should have been 'autobiology' of course.
more honest than selling peerages though
And if in doubt as to who Prezza's publkichers might be: search for the one that recently placed an especially large order for coloured crayons.
Sorry. Thinking of Prescott sends my digital dyslexia into relapse. That should, of course, read "publishers".
New Irish money? You mean yet more new EU money, ours, given to the Irish to blow?
mong @ 6:31pm
Livingstone lead?
If you had a vote in next year's London mayoral election and
you had to choose between Ken Livingstone, the current
Labour mayor, and Boris Johnson, his likely Conservative
opponent, who would you vote for?
Ken Livingstone 28
Boris Johnson 30
Neither 24
Don't know 18
Yer what?????
I agree, a screamng headline about Boris might be in order, he's consistently outpolling Red Ken.
Maybe Dave should change the name of the Tory party to 'Cameron Fail'.
perhaps cameron should copy the snp and have a real opinion on something then maybe he will win.
Cameron off to Uttoxeter, pronbly end up in Devon, if Osborne does the map reading.
Who's the blonde totty?
Great news comrades!!
Inflation(CPI) is down to 1.9%
Also: tractor production is up by 59%, the five year plan for grain production is succeeding beyond all expectations, and liquidation of the kulaks is gathering pace.
Long live the glorious revolution!!
Long live our illustrious leader Uncle Gordon!!
Today's blatant fiddling ofthe inflation figures mark a new stage on the road to a Brown led dictatorship.
Time to abandon ship?
Fuck this.
What the HELL has happened to the Hitch?
"Blog not found"
????
Brown's imperious edit to the Heathrow protestors:
"Protest is futile - I have decided the future - and taken a large donation from BAA"
Has Guido paid up yet?
In this week's Speccie Fraser Nelson has a breathless piece on the Tory fundraising bonanza which includes, as an aside, the news that
"the once-formidable Blair-Levy double-act has been closed by the Metropolitan Police's investigation, soon to be handed to the Crown Prosecution Service. It will not, I understand, end in charges for Tony Blair or any of his senior lieutenants."
Fancy a bet Fraser? Loser buys lunch and a decent bottle of wine. Suspect the toast will be to the boys in blue...
Incidentally, the Observer's Mark Townsend, still hasn't paid up, but promises "soon". It has been three months...
UPDATE : Fraser Nelson has been in touch and the bet is on. He warns "I have an expensive taste in wine!" Excellent, so he won't mind Guido's choice...
Fraser has been in touch and we will be enjoying something French and Michelin starred when Guido is in London.
pity Cameron doesnt have the balls to copy something else that Fianna Fail is doing - year on year tax reductions.
If it wasnt for the lack of breasts I would say that was ex Atomic Kitten kerry Katona in that photo.No doubt she will be invited to Uttoxeter to lend her own brand of earthy style to inclusive Daves big beer tent.
I wouldnt mind snorting cocaine off kerrys tits and if the News Of the world is right she would probably let me.
That is Bert's daughter the one who is not married to the bloke in Westlife and she's called Cecilia not to be confused with Bertie's ex Celia. That is her beau next to her.
Hitch, why have you deleted your blog?
If you crook a little finger over her hair and squint at her, you wouldn't. Or at least I wouldn't. Can you imagine what that young fishwife scowl would look like in 25 years time sans the € 200 hair-job? No, I can't think that far ahead either - but I can see that it would not be good thing to find on the next pillow along from yours, though.
