She could have made it a farewell party!

Gordan Brown will be dissapointed, I am sure he was looking foward to the night out

Anonymous said...

Not sure if this has been mentioned but, the Wendster has admitted that she wrote the personal letter. She says she is going to tough it out. How Brazen is she???

mitch said...

damn I was gonna give her some cash too oh well perhaps cameron will have it.

Let's have a go at that menu, with apologies to Private Eye:

Brown Soup
Irish Stew (in the name of the law)
Cold Comfort Pie, or Pig's Ear with Hash Browns, or Toad in a Hole
Cullen Stink
Hard cheese with sour grapes
Bung Surprise served with Fudge all round
Crackers

Brazen? I'm thinking "utterly and hopelessly lacking in moral fibre and intelligence"

copydude said...

What, no porridge?

James said...

Having admitted she wrote that personal letter, she should write another and resign.

Is Harman one of the Labour MPs Tom Watson was referring to tonight when he warned them that if they "want to save their arses then they would have to save Brown's"?

From a statement made on behalf of HH and reported on the BBC site re the failure to report loans to the Electoral Commission:

"The Harriet Harman campaign was under the impression that she did not need to register her mortgage with either the Electoral Commission or the Register of Members' Interests."

Does the Harriet Harman campaign, or indeed HH herself, know anything ?

gordon christ said...

mohammed the rocking horse,

hi!

you seem like you might be a knowledgeable sort of guy...

can you help me with this problem over in Sudan, I need a result badly

as I understand it...the Muslim people over there are upset about some cartoon of a teddy bear with a bomb on it's head...

any idea?

oh gordon! didn't you do well! said...

Fantastic Gordon!

You've remembered the teddy with realistic pubic hair...

mmmmmmm...

the vibrating pink latex-upholstered rocking horse...

yeeeeeees...

a whole year's supply of heavy duty pampers...

lovely...

ohh and don't let's forget

the old teddy with a bomb on its head!

strapworld said...

Something about 40.000 reasons why the party has to be cancelled.

"tthe party's over...."

red despot spotter said...

i wonder if gordon has instructed his labour party friends not to attend , forcing harman to cancell
looks like gordos on the griddle , my guess is harman will help the police .
so gordo in an overcrowded cell , perhaps he will meet a friend and they will become midnight lovers and soap sharers .
in theory someone could go to prision but who???

William Wilberfarce said...

In theory, quite a few people could go to prison.

I was planning to go but the arrangements for buying a ticket was far too complicated.

Most odd that Harriet Harman, as a QC and a government law officer, could not understand the Statute in Restraint of Backhanders or whatever.

Perhaps when she returns to practising at the Bar, if the legal profession takes her back, defending Gordon Brown may be her first brief.

prison? they wont go to prison the places are far too full up -community service or slap em with an asbo

Scrooge said...

"Perhaps when she returns to practising at the Bar"

Presumably a reference to drowning her sorrows as the whole thing implodes!

The Party's Over - Time to call it a day said...

And in the meantime the Met are searching London Rubbish Dumps for those missing CDs - this is better than a West End Farce !

Whose got me knickers? said...

Harman raised £46,000 for her deputy leadership campaign? What the hell did she spend the money on? Bribing MPs? Renting boys or girls for them? Couldn't she just chat them up in one of Westminster's many bars? Flash a bit of leg, perhaps? £46,000? Holy shit.

What do you get out of being Deputy Leader that makes that sort of spend worthwhile?

mitch said...

Considering her amazing stupidity over this would you want her defending you or selling your house? and she drives an 800 series rover oh dear.

Anonymous said...

The Rover 800 must be a Labour Party pool car, donated by Red Robbo, kept for those regular occasions when ministers and/or their partners are accused of financial irregularities - it says "Look at this banger, you can see I did not personally benefit". I hope a wheel comes off at a critical moment.

Party Pooper said...

I guess at this time of year, and at such short notice, the cancellation fee will be pretty high.

In fact it might well need a knew.
loan to cover it!

What will the legal status of the new loan be - should it be declared?

electro-kevin said...

Off to Yate's wine lodge later for clinky-poos.

mohammed the golly said...

I'ma bit naive about these things, but should someone found out in a crime of dishonesty of any sort really be allowed to return to the bar? In (solicitor-) general, shouldn't crooked lawyers be prevented from practicing?

mitch said...

If crooked lawyers were stopped from practicing they would all be on the dole.

K S Rees said...

For a brief but happy moment I thought you meant the Labour Party. Guess I'll have to wait just a little longer for this to happen...

Methinks the lady lacks sound commercial judgement. Can the Deputy Leadership really be worth a personal investment of £40,000, funde by borrowed money? If it is there must be things we do not know - come on Johnny Prescott wa it worth that much to you personally?

Real laugh will be if she gets booted out and still has to find the money to repay the loan(s).

Sudden idea - maybe Ms. Booth QC will give her a big discount to represent her as her defense council at the corruption trial!

Anonymous said...

Scene - The Central Court at the Old Bailey.

Me Learned Judge,

"It would be very helpful to the progression of this case if Ms. Harman's defense counsel could stop screaming with laughter all the time."

Ms. C. Booth Q.C. (for tis she - AKA C. Bliar)

"Yes M'Lord, but I just can't help it." Giggle giggle!

I think you will discover that the grievance centres on the teddy bear's name, gordon christ - it's called M*h*mm*d.

Although you have to feel sorry for the teacher they've locked up for 'christening' this toy, because it's to be expected that her personal sense of perspective must inevitably be somewhat skewed by a lifetime of experience in the West - especially considering the poor cow's only been named after a bunch of monkeys.

And I can sympathize with her predicament to a very deep degree, in fact...as I myself was inadvertently named after a refuse receptacle - in English.

So doesn't teddy like being called Mohammed then?

to see you, to see you nice! said...

oh gordon! didn't you do well! 9:46PM

Owwhh yeeess! The cuddly toy! And what a cute fluffy lovable little teddy with a bomb on his head he is too!

not my cup of tea really...

I must say...

Oh shit...now we've got Mr Bean running around with a suicide teddy bear!

Apocalypse at bed-time!

Doh!

Paul said...

Now Guido - is this the Xmas Party I as the real cash donor attends that has been cancelled - or the distracting Xmas party I send one of my alter egos?

Eh, just Kiddin!

Well at least that explains all the tics then.
