+++ Dougie Apologises +++

Just in from the Press Association:

"I, of course, apologise for any actions or omissions on my part which contributed to the problems encountered in the Scottish elections..."

A sign of the underlying weakness of his position.

When in trouble apologise and try to move the story on. Rule 3 from the Blair/Mandelson/Campbell Media Play Book.

UPDATE : The Lobby today asked the PMS again "if the Prime Minister had full confidence in Douglas Alexander". This is the formula the Lobby uses when they mean "is the PM going to sack 'im". Two days in a row, not a good sign...

A man of humble origin has shown humble ability to accept the blame. He is a man we can admire. He is not a blame didger like the tory crooks. Despite the batty abuse from the tory leader and his deputy coke hunter. This brave man

Puzzled said...

What's a didger? Is it an Aussie expression?

Vicar with a pool cue said...

Scapegoat Number 1, grasp your ankles, assume the position - and try and relax...

And don't worry, it will be your turn soon enough, Mr Balls - or should I say "Scapegoat Number 2...?"

AnyoneButBrown said...

Dougie Alexander brave & humble whahahahahah! ROTFLMAO.

You could call him many things but not brave as he hold no principles contrary to the prevailing political wind in the Labour party. To call him humble is beyond parody. He is a key representative of the triumphalism & overweening Scottish Raj that rules over us with no democratic mandate. A product of the tribal and brutal Scottish Labour party.

If you put his apology to textual analysis, as ever with NuLab weasel apologies, he is merely apologising for anything he did which contributed to the Scottish election debacle. QED he is not apologising for the electoral debacle so is accepting NO BLAME

Also, Dougie seems to miss out on rules 1 & 2 of the NuLab media play book
Rule 1 - Lie, although his boss did this at PMQs
Rule 2 - Smear your opponents. I guess It's difficult to smear Ron Gould

Dougie has been fingered for Chicken Saturday election-that-never-happened f*ck up. Now he has been fingered for the Scottish electoral f*ck up and accused of acting in a partisan manner

He's Brown's election co-ordinator. Great news for us Tories as he'll surely f*ck up the next election and then his boss with be truly f*cked.

I hope he keeps up his good works...

bing crosby's stunt double said...

Didn't do it to Cameron. Waited until the fourth question on the subject, by an SNP MP (who was positively incandescent). So grudging is the least you can say of it.

Shabba Ranks said...

Anonymous 4.19- I wonder if Chicken Saturday and the Haggis Election are all wee Dougie has been fingered for in the closet cabinet?

And Missy 'Misdemeanour' Fawkes- batty abuse is the speciality of Her Majesty's prime minister. He likes a bit of batty.

Shabba - dey is all batty-boys in dis gummint, ya en know?

And it handily distracts attention from the abysmal Brown performance at PMQs ...

Shabba Ranks said...

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap!

Bye bye...

Mountjoy said...

It's a good thing Brown didn't call a general election, or Wee Dougie would have been apologising for approx 1,000,000 disenfranchised voters due to the electoral registers not yet being completed.

So typical of the political snobs like Guido.

A minister apologises for something and you accuse him of being cynical! An apology is an admittance of guilt and, as long as it is not a mistake worthy of resignation, we should applaud ministers for being honest.

Anonymous said...

What an apology for a human being.

45govt said...

Anon @ 5.10: Could you give us an idea of what a mistake worthy of resignation might be? It is an extinct breed I fear, but I am willing to be corrected.

sockpuppet said...

45, that's easy:

"getting caught"*


(*well, more than twice for minsters vide Mandelson, Blunkett, once for SpADs viz Whelan and Moore)

choux de bruxelles said...

It's too late for an apology. Doug Alexander's political career is toast. Saying sorry is just a bit of window dressing on Brown's orders.

Bye bye Doogie. Who's next?

Ed Balls? (won't go without a fight and knows where the bodies are buried)

Ed Miliband? (keeping his head down I see)

One things for sure. It's going to get nasty ;-)

tony said...

brussels sprout, is that you Bobby?

Is Doogie Alexander really Manchester's very own Frank Sidebottom:

He looks much happier when wearing ear-defenders. What a cunt.

F O Gordon said...

Government of the talentless, by and for the talentless.

Alexander isn't fit to shovel shit on any bugger's lugger. Where do Nu Lab find such talentless, clueless clowns?

Broon was out of his depth, only saved by planted questions on cancer, and poverty when he reel off wonderful statistics about tractor part production, and the continued intervention of his puppet in the Speaker's chair.

Whose got me knickers? said...

Nick Robinson's Newslog at the BBC links to a number of blogs on this subject, Guido. Why not yours, I wonder?

Nick Robinson said...

Well actually I'm too busy for this nonsense, trying to suck my own cock so I can be a level 8 beeboid... and it helps me avoid coming across any news I might have to report, I wouldn't even know how to do that, slap slap!

transfattyacid said...

If only they had got Gus O'Donnell to do the report. He's very thorough I understand.

billy jizzman said...

He won't sack him. Where will he find another talentless c**t of his calibre?

following on from certain posts that gordo wiped the floor with cameron at PMQ, you must stop smoking "super sith" , it clearly causes delusions.

cameron had gordo spluttering from the off , brown lost education money claw back , but managed to stay just about upright on dougie alexander scotiish waste votes item. vince cable was clear and gordos re use of last weeks quip suggests gordos memory is losing space.

review of firworks
as for seated next to gordon jack straw is the "posh undertaker" jaqui smith is the "regretful job taker" the anal johnson is now the "nervous incompetant" . the douglas alexander is the "sneaky hide and seek".the ian austin is now declared verbally dangerous and had to be extinguished by the referee.

so dear trolls yet again i ask for you to give us the vote on the eu treaty , not only are the public pissed off with your lies and betrayals , but clearly a number of mps are.

you may of course be of the opinion that its just a storm to be weathered !!.

take it from me , youve seriously messed this country up ,i suggest you think over a glass of scotch. unpopularity is one thing where a good aim is hidden , unpopularity where the future state of the nation is at stake , is callous and wreckless and has the utmost ignorance and contempt for all us that want to live and work in it.

its your party gordon , you want to lead them into the abyss its up to you , but when they realise just how youre operating , you will have no place to hide.

weve asked you politely , weve given you a reminder , weve given you a taster of how most of us feel.

give us a vote on the eu treaty , or go down as the biggest lying idiot in parlimently history.

thanks
red despot spotter

Jess The Dog said...

Wee Dougie, a despised political hack and occasional solicitor since his student days - not much experience in the real world. Part of Broon's "young" clique who think that by spouting fourth-rate Kennedyesque nonsense, it will actually happen.

New Labour New Dissembling said...

Fawkes mistress, Being forced into a humiliatiing apology doesn't exactly require admiration, just disgust

Anonymous said...

Hmmm..but don't forget, guido, they have handily got a holiday next week, so the 'Rule 4' comes into play..

'If you are in shit street, make sure there is a Parliamentary Break coming up, so you can get the fuck out of the country while the heat dies down'

..or something like that..

Thomas Gordon said...

Anonmong @ 5:10

Indeed as Daddy Boy Cameroon pointed out while giving that old Queen a kicking.

Who are we to tell people about democracy.

Get a grip fella-Wee Alexander is a spineless school boy fuckwit that gets a good seeing to by Gordo Dumbledore nightly.

Yawn, another Guido non-story.

Guido that bet about there being charges in 'Cash for Honours', did Will Hill pay out?

non-brownite labour said...

bhownaggree

This is no non-story you lying little Brownite turd. Wee Doogie Alexander is fighting for his miserable political life right now. He faces fury in Scotland, has completely lost the confidence of the Labour back benches, and would appear to be dead meat unless a miracle comes along to save him. Most unlikely.

He's widely known in Westminster as Brown's Scapegoat Number 1 and will almost certainly be the first domino to fall.

Dennis said...

Bhownaggree, you are Steve Hilton playing a double game and I claim my seat at Dave's kitchen cabinet.

Which I will sell on eBay.

Thomas Gordon said...

bhownaggree

I see-you must be a member of the NuNuSocottishNationalSocalistWorkersParty pondlifer.

Of Course in the 'King Gordo's NNSNSWP fucking up elections is par for the course.

Say bhownaggree-Did 'King Gordo phone up the Father of Africa Mugarbe to get idea's on how to fuck up the economy as well?

Brownaggree said...

I find the comment about Gordon phoning Mugarbe to be Racist, and I refuse to answer such vile filth.

Moreover, Gordo denies any inappropiate relationship with Doogie, who is a nice boy

Moreover Gordo is incandesent about any reference to photos about anyone in nappies on a rocking horse who bears any resemblance to him

any such photos have been disposed of

stanislav, a young polish plumber said...

Mr Anonymous at 5.10.

Not mean "admittance of guilt....," mean "admission" of guilt. Admittance something granted or paid for, as in pay ten pee admittance to smelly gents public toilet get blowjob from resident LibDem MP, who is probably you.

No they ain't sweetie. Mandelson's still got one and so have quite a few other people including the editor of the News of the World.

stanislav, a young polish plumber said...

Mr Robinson of BBC really can suck own cock? Wow. Is any picture? Is not gay interest. Just pleased Mr Robinson is medical marvel and not merely useless smirking greedy cunt. Pleased, too, for Mrs Robinson, make her life a little easier. No, a lot easier. Also ease pressure on Westminster gents' toilet. Leave more space for Lady Geraldine Kaufmann take young man for initiation in Representation of People Act.

Look forward to see Hugh Welshman report this on ten o clock, sorry, ten o cock news. Is bigger story than Gerry and Cilla deny is pair of tossers. (Think maybe Dr Gerry suck own cock, too. And not blame him. And Ruth Man Kelly, he is racing certainty for munch on own knob. Hail Mary.)

See LibDem Jabberwock on Newswank. Bug-eyed maniac look like EAT own cock, with little garlic and rosemary and drizzle olive oil. Bug-eye zombie monster Evan Hunter. Yes I is doctor and I say abortion ok up to two years old; brat not feel much pain, is fact; maybe even up to ten in some case. Fuck it. Go whole on hog. Is mother right to kill child. Period. Ask Cilla. Vote for me, I is barking fucking mad. Woof-woof.

Nick Robinson said...

Hello stan, still working on it I'm afraid. I suppose this is an open secret these days:

level 8 beeboid exam, suck own cock, +£100,000 on salary
level 9 beeboid, suck own turds out, find magically superior to all other turds, +another £150,000

I am waiting for the phrase..

"Dougie Alexander has my complete confidence and I fully support him"

Translates as "He is a total prat and for the chop as soon as i can scrub myself clean from the shit he has dropped me in"

Gordo Nappy Rash thinks that Doug Give Me Tug is a bloody liability. So do we and he should go 'for the sake of the country' .
Another miserable little creep from kilt lifter land.

I see (BBC)that the blame for the Scottish election debacle has now been spread to all parties. The Nats are unhappy that there has been a 'clarification'
