Dacre's Breakfast with Brown
Guido overheard last night a smirking Labour MP boasting that Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, had breakfast with Gordon yesterday. Which perhaps explains the discordant leader comment this morning. It actually praises Darling's tax and spending plans.Guido understands that Dacre told a rebellious editorial meeting yesterday "I couldn't give a toss what you lot think." Lord Rothermere, the Mail's owner, on the other hand might well give a toss. Particularly in view of the recent circulation slide...

Would someone please explain why the Daily Mail supports Brown?
I think you must have read only the first 4 paragraphs Guido, which happen to praise Darling for doing what the tories would have done. The remainder of the article roasts the government.
Blair was successful because he had a strategy that worked. Brown has failed because his only strategy was winning an October election. It is over over Labour. Brown meeting the press snacks of panic. He has no strategy now so the only way to win over the press is by bullying, just as Major attempted to do. Cameron strategy was to stop an October election and humiliate Brown. It worked and he will now build on that and win the election. Everybody should relax. It is over and Brown knows it and I bet Blair is the first to recognise this.
Dacre drops 5% circulation, no surprise there then.
How long before Rothermere pulls the plug on his bauble chasing employee?
It all makes sense to get a correlation between the ignorants read The Mail and the ignorants who vote Labour. Get them all in one stable then blow them out of the water simultaneously.
*who
I read somewhere that Dacre is a personal friend of Brown. I don't know if that's true but it may explain a lot.
Dacre might not give a "toss" but I suspect Daily Mail readers do and if enough of them continue NOT to buy the paper Dacre will be out on his ear sharp enough.
His days are numbered. The Mail has abandoned the views of their readers and Paul Dacre cannot last long with the Conservative fightback underway.
curbishlyauto, - friend of Brown?
I honestly don't think he has any, apart from those who come in the back door. Is Dacre one of that club? He looks it.
Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but the Tories aren't actually going to win the next election. They might get close, just like Kinnock in 1992- but they won't win. Waste your money down the bookies if you like!

Oh well, I guess if there's one subject a Labour supporter can rightfully claim to be an expert on it's wasting money.
ps what exactly has that got to do with the discussion topic anyway?

because it's written by office boys, for office boys. Both Brown and The Mail exist in a permanent state of simmering resentment - they're perfect for each other!
and the editor thinks that Brown reflects the concerns of middle-middle class england.
Cameron is part of the 'liberal metropolitan elite' who are 'ruining this country' with their cappucinos, or something.

Yes he is and so are their wives. Dacre said "that Brown was touched by the mantle of greatness"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Dacre
Maybe someone could pop Brown's wife's handkerchief in Dacre's pocket before their next dinner party? Brown is very susceptible to paranoia.If he starts muttering 'strumpet' we know it's working.
Brown might be more concerned if it were Mandy's handkerchief.
Anonymous thinks that 'the Tories aren't actually going to win the next election'.
Lets look at the notion (democracy) that a nation gets the leaders it deserves.
Do we deserve Nulabour? Do we deserve Nuvisionlabour?
Does the general public see the real position or is it only able to digest spin?
It is understood that historic ties with labour and family, father-to-son, herd like followers of the faith are a significant factor in labours support base BUT:
Can this hereditary support really accept the long on spin, short in results years of stealth drain?
To treat the public like fools is one way to run the country, lies, good PR and huge spin worked for B.Liar...once bitten twice shy is a reasonable human reaction to dissappointment.
Comrade Brown has started wrong and the Blair legacy is a poor platform on which to continue, Brown cannot clear his name as he is stained by the past.
Meanwhile the historic labour herd factor diminishes as we see stealth taxes rachet up the cost of living whilst the downturn in world economy due to energy price factors on the macro scale start to bite more deeply.
Blair is a busted flush but Brown is a looser on a wholey different scale.
Labour cannot make it again unless the public are actually fools and not merely the victims of being treated as fools.
In this DC is right.
It seems Dacre and the Mail don't like it up 'em.
I posted a critical comment on the leader 3 hours ago and it still hasn't appeared.
Dacre's lost the plot and his job will be the next to go. Why he supports the worst Chancellor in history is a mystery. Brown is his blind spot.

What planet are you on Anon?
I can't see the Tories stealthily stealing £2billion from an already heavily depleted pension pot.
I can't see the Tories attacking small businesses by hiding nasty surprises in the small print.
Chancellor Brown (for that is all he is - nobody has appointed him Prime minister except his little band of corrupt brown nosers)has more than 'something of the night' about him. Such men are dangerous.
Yes he is and so are their wives. Dacre said "that Brown was touched by the mantle of greatness"
can I hang him from my mantlepiece at Christmas please?
Dacre is a naive fuckwit who, in recent months, has lost the Mail 60,000 readers a day over his support for Brown.
His auto-erotic infatuation with Gay Gordon follows on from a similiar fixation with another Labour charlatan David Blunkett, a couple of years ago, before Blunkett was exposed as a fraud, a sexual clown, and an expenses fiddler.
Dacre got egg on his face over that but doesn't appear to have learned his lesson.
Dacre behaves like an accommodator not an editor.
Enough said....give him more rope.
"Brown might be more concerned if it were Mandy's handkerchief."
Quite right. The Tories need to be making more of Brown's homosexuality in the run-up to the next election. Cameron should be mentioning it in every speech he makes. It is down to bloggers, journalists and the party at large to ensure that the Prime Minister's homosexuality is THE defining subject of the 2009 election.
In order for the entire spectrum of the media to print the correct news it must be received from the only true source.
Dacre wants a knighthood from Broon, that's all this is.
This is why Broon is dropping his trousers and Dacre is pushing his browner-than-Brown tongue inbetween Stalin's flabby rocking-horse-riding arse cheeks
When Broon farts Dacre will claim it smells like a Spring meadow when everyone else just smells cow shit
Still, if Rothermere is pissed off enough Dacre could lose his job and Brown's main entry into "Middle England"

Which poor old David never saw coming.
tory til i die:
Here here, if the mass of Liebour voters, especially the Muslims were made aware of the fact they were voting for a homosexual party leadership, the nappy would hit the fan. After all, Gay Gordo's too feartie to come out an must be ashamed, at least Mandelscunt is honest about it.
OT, but a little mystery appears to be solved. I was Googling for something unrelated to any of this and one of the links was to
an old Guido thread. I noticed that Bhownaggree was one of the commenters and idly clicked on his name to see what has befallen him. Good grief, it seems he might be none other than Steve Hilton.
A clever spoof? Or a conundrum for Dave?
Rothermere has the Notting Hill Set as much as Dacre does. there won't be any chane at Mail or MoS
"After all, Gay Gordo's too feartie to come out an must be ashamed, at least Mandelscunt is honest about it."
He had to be, but only because Matthew Parris outed him, by accident he claims.
As for Dacre sharing breakfast with Grim Gordon, I only hope Nanny Oona was able to express enough milk for both of them, and that they were both good boys with nice clean nappies.
Gay Gordon didn't have his tie done up properly on Sky News today - he looked a right mess.
"Gay Gordon didn't have his tie done up properly on Sky News today - he looked a right mess."
He never does have his tie properly knotted. He seems to use a rather loose four in hand knot, and it never looks right. A gentleman uses a half Windsor knot for his tie, and never wipes his bogies on it.
I understand that their friendship has developed from a mutual hatred of Cherie. As she fades into the distance (if possible), then other concerns will prevail - such as Brown's apparent "seduction" of the Barclay Brothers.
Quite sad watching Brown on PMQs yesterday. Normally he looks right at the opposition when he is speaking, but yesterday when the opposition had him on the ropes he was looking at the speaker almost the whole time. The body language speaks volumes. It says "Please teacher, help me. I'm being bullied by that big boy over there and they are all laughing at me".
Poor chap should have gone to therapy a long time before he tried to become PM. The Tories will have him in tears if they really go for him. Yesterday wasn't even moderately tough. Hope the Labour MPs realise that by getting shot of him they will be doing him a favour because he clearly isn't remotely up to the job in hand.
From the article: "No comments have so far been submitted. Why not be the first to send us your thoughts?"
I submitted a reasonable, if cynical, comment several hours ago. Even the comments are Brownie
anon 2:16pm - according to Ian Fleming (via James Bond in From Russia With Love), "a gentleman never uses a windsor knot" - it was thus that 007 was able to identify the baddie and despatch him.
I expect to see the nasal ploughman appearing with one forthwith.
incredibly, the word verify is ispyetyh - who'd a thought it?
no the luch went somthing like
gb: well dacre, these ruomours about me well er shall i say stepping aside , is there anything you can do to help me?

Wonderful. Sedition, anarchy AND James Bond scholars. I love this shit.
There was a great one about Felix Leiter in one of the Florida/Jamaica settings. The bad guys pulled his chewed and dismembered body out from where the sharks had been feeding on him and stuck a note on him: He disagreed with something that ate him.
If only our political gangsters had such a sense of humour; or indeed, any sense of humour. Please remember to give Mrs Tony some olive oil for me.
Dacre (just like his father before him) is a man of convenient alliances. One should not take his views too seriously. Circumstances change - as do his allegiances.
The trouble for Mail readers is trying to keep up with Dacre's personal agenda. A newspaper which they believe stands for certain principles completely reverses those views in a matter of days. Far better to stick with a journal whose editorial policy is consistent - like the Daily Sport, for example.
according to Ian Fleming (via James Bond in From Russia With Love), "a gentleman never uses a windsor knot" - it was thus that 007 was able to identify the baddie and despatch him.
Fleming got a lot of things wrong, mind - in that book especially. He has similar injunctions against red with fish when everyone has known for centuries that some reds and some fish were made for each other.
I had always understood that windsors were permissible for members of the armed forces (to achieve that 'uniform' look.
Interestingly, the Duke after whom the knot is named never employed one. He just liked ties with extremely thick linings.
Looks like the DM is still not 'allowing' comments on Dacre's miserable leader comment.
"Interestingly, the Duke after whom the knot is named never employed one. He just liked ties with extremely thick linings."
Quite right, and who wants to look like that pencil dicked Nazi? The half Windsor is the only knot for a gentleman, and the tie should never be used as a snot rag.
Dacre expected arse licking Brown to pay dividends. He's backed the wrong horse, but cannot be seen to be admitting it so has to continue writing pro-Brown bollocks until he's sacked. We tried to tell him.
"There was a great one about Felix Leiter in one of the Florida/Jamaica settings. The bad guys pulled his chewed and dismembered body out from where the sharks had been feeding on him and stuck a note on him: He disagreed with something that ate him."
That was Live and Let Die. The book, not the crap film with crap-face Roger Moore and the crap Wings song.
In the book, Leiter is captured by Mr Big and fed to sharks. He survives but loses a couple of limbs in the process.
I am sure there is a lesson in there somewhere for Broon.
anon @ 3.23, true, and he liked his women thick too, the halfwit.
word ver: holdvew!
Who's going first - Dacre or my Daily Mail - just about had enough of his arse licking -
Quite right, and who wants to look like that pencil dicked Nazi? The half Windsor is the only knot for a gentleman, and the tie should never be used as a snot rag.
the Nazi, or at least the SS, uniforms were designed and made by Hugo Boss, if you're interested.
half windsors are for spivs and sixthformers I'm afraid.
You're right on the nostril issue, however.
I think its sweet that Gordon made Mr Dacre breakfast after an all night felching, rimming and fisting session.
i love the idea that you really think paul dacre is going anywhere.
please, the daily mail has a daily circulation of around 2M, dacre is going nowhere
No Dacre is going nowhere, even though the Daily Mail circulation is falling rapidly. However, he desparately wants to overtake the Sun so he may be forced to compromise his pointless homo-erotic relationship with the bogie-baiter and go back to giving middle-England what it wants - more stories about evil immigrants and the spin-meisters of NuLabour.
So I anticipate Dacre will give Gorgon another 6 months and when he realises he was not so much touched by the mantle of greatness but dipped in a plate of cold tripe when he was a baby he will shake his head and do one of those about-turns for which the Mail is justly famous. And when he does there will be much rejoicing throuhgout the land and general dersions aimed at hapless Labour apparatchiks. Shadenfreude at the expense of NuLabour - its something that I look forward to every day.
More bad news for Brown :
Gold price rockets to 27-year high
It isn't so much Dacre's support of Brown its his sheer hate of Cameron. The reason! Dacre hates anyone who has taken drugs, or anyone whom he considers is soft on drugs. Cameron's youthful dabbling with various illegal substances, has damned him in Dacre's eyes.
yeah i know but at least camerons an economist and not a blatant lying shitbag like gordo
thanks
red despot spotter
Dacre has tied his career to Gordon's mast on the good ship Daily Mail and will take the ship down with him rather than lose face.
I guess we have to start questioning the integrity of the political hacks left at the Daily Mail - the longer they stay the more they can be accused of taking the king's shilling.
I suppose I've led a normal life, just googled "felching". Appears to be two versions.
In either case, yuk.
"More bad news for Brown :

Bad news for us you mean. It was our gold the stupid twat flogged off cheap in the most cack-handed way imaginable. He has no conception of how the real world works, which is how he came up with shit like family tax credits. Tosser.
