Evidence of the Coulson Effect?
When Guido first saw the "Anarchy in the UK" headline for yesterday's speech press release by Dave, he thought it was a little too knowing. But it worked for The Sun today. Today Dave's speech steals a line from Hilary Clinton, "it takes a village". Is he re-branding the the Tories as the Village People?

The Tories have been doing rather well with the media recently. In this particular case, though, will Sun readers make the connection?
Some interesting points raised by PapaJ on the Express 'Have Your Say' website:
Here are a couple of reports that seem to indicatate the Brtish Authorities may be stalling the investigation and the release of crucial evidence (the McCanns have close ties to Gordon Brown's elder brother John and several other estalblishment figures: and this is not speculation. Kate's close friend Jill Renwick is John's neighbour) Is Brown worried about setbacks to his snap-election campaign? Would a death resulting from negligence amoung his circle of friends compromise his position? The simple embarassment it would cause after so much personal, ministerial and financial backing? You decide. I'm happy to keep an open mind:
Diario de Noticias - August 24
"PJ finds delay in Birmingham DNA analysis strange. Meanwhile, and contrary to what has been mentioned, a source from the Judiciaria guarantees that the solution of Madeleine’s case “is not happening soon”, and there are even persons who have shown some discomfort with the “stalling” that has happened in some moments of the investigation, allegedly due to pressure from the British authorities, who have “conditioned” the Portuguese police’s work at the beginning.
Correio da Manhã,
"Alípio Ribeiro, national director of Polícia Judiciária, received a call from John Buck, british ambassador in Portugal, on the night Madeleine disapeared from the Ocean Club, on May 3rd..
...that phone call was the first sign that the british were very keen on accompannyng closely the PJ's actions, and in forcing the investigations to follow the kidnap theory.
welcome to nulab's chavtastic Briton !
The Sun used the phrase first and then the Tories copied it - presumably to appeal to The Sun.
I'm confused 'anonymous' at 5:24PM
When did The Sun first use the headline ? If it was today it means Cameron has been messing around with Doc Browns Delorean as he was able to copy the phrase The Sun used first before they actually used it! Even I'm really lost now.
If that was the case then I'd suggest to Dave that he gives up on this politics lark and starts placing large bets with Ladbrokes on the outcome of the 2008 Derby. He'll clean 'em out.
Is he re-branding the the Tories as the Village People?
Village fucking idiots more like.
Why not?He's tried every other stunt in the book.
Never had cameron down as a sex pistols fan...the image just will not form pogoing with bondage trousers on .Its a coincidence people and a realy obvious choice of phrase.word thingy is"itisi" spooky.
Sun readers won't make any connection unless, and until, Brown's head appears in a lightbulb on their front page. I fear this will be roughly 6 years from now.
I usually buy The Times and The Telegraph.
I've just junked The Times - exasperated by its pro Labour line. Its chief political writer, Philip Webster is a joke. Seemingly unaware that The Times is supposed to be the "journal of record", he produces copy that would bring a blush to the Daily Mirror editor. Of course, we should remember that Alaister Campbell has outed him as his trusted media stooge.
Anyway, I bought The mail today and I thought I detected a slight move back to the Tories.
Has Paul Dacre seen the light? Does he realise he's been a silly boy to promote a neurotic bogey-eater?
Paul, I may continue to buy The Mail if you continue along the path of righteousness.
As I wrote today on my blog, the uncertain state of the economy could lead to a snap election. However, one of the major issues in the next election could be social breakdown and these appalling murders. When Jamie Bulger was murdered by two boys such a crime was rare. Under Labour, the killing of an 11-year-old kid passes as 'just another one'. Brown and Jacqui Smith need to get a grip on this situation, after the shambles left by a series of weak Home Secretaries.
We've got all the 'cottagers' why not put them all in a village together - the most isolated part in Rwanda would be a good location.
Surely what Dave meant was
'An Archy in the UK' - an appeal for a teddy bear for every well brought-up child...
Round here it only takes one child to raze a village.
Off topic, but that Mrs McCann is one sexy MILF
a white kid senselessly shot in Liverpool - surely a case of mistaken identity?
Shame for you trident - now you're going to have to set up a whole new department. Or do you simply view this tragedy as a 'flash in the pan' case of white kids copying 'black fashion'? And what a revealing Sun headline. Was it 'enough' when 10 year old Damilola Taylor was killed in Peckham, London? Did his killers receive the full public service of a Downing Street cabinet meeting which has been drummed-up for this murder?
Surely this is just about the school holidays being too long - even in non-chav areas this is very noticeable.
Did anyone see that Oily 'slick' Letwin back on our screens recently after a break?
What a tosser.
Er, was that an original thought from Hillary then Guido?
And do you really have to tolerate GuF reader's leching horrendously over tragic mums?
Is he re-branding the the Tories as the Village People?
Does this mean the Party conference going to end with the singing of:
"In the tories, you can lah di dah di dah..."
Or
"CCHQ, I love to go to the CCHQ ..."
instead of Jerusalem?
So one of the perps was defenestrated by arresting officers? Respec' -
Tuff manor, the 'pool.
Not. I expect down the station they don't read him his rights, they read him the whole bleedin' HRA.
Remittance Man:
Hm, yes, good idea - how about
"Young Tory, there's no need to feel down
I said young Tory, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, 'cause we've ceased to be nasty
There's no need to be a patsy!
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said young man, when you've plenty of dough
You can work there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to work at de CCHQ!
It's fun to work at de CCHQ!
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boyz
It's fun to work at the CCHQ!
It's fun to work at the CCHQ!
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good rant
And invent any policies you want
CCHQ!
Then just go work in CCHQ!"....
....As Yul Brunner says in 'The King and I'
'Et-cetera, et-cetera!'
A Dave Slave
Following on the OT comments on the McCann case: I'm astonished that two doctors employed by the NHS can afford to take several months of leave abroad, not even returning for a weekend to feed the cat or pay the gas.
Yet the £1m charitable fund has not paid for their stay in the Algarve.
Who has, then?
There's something a bit Scottish New Labour in the air, I feel. Something doesn't seem to add up. Hope I'm wrong.
back to the future said....I'd suggest to Dave that he gives up on this politics lark and starts placing large bets with Ladbrokes on the outcome of the 2008 Derby. He'll clean 'em out.
As he would by re-mortgaging his house and putting it on Labour to win the next election.
dave Slave,
Most amusing indeed

Doesn't Liverpool do "grief" well?
If you want a lot of church services and hand wringing that's the place to be. They fucking love it don't they?

Doesn't Liverpool 'do' goalkeeper's houses and cars well?
