please, PLEASE don't do the "power cut" look again. It'll make you look like a complete arse - as it did last time.
Congrats, though. Glad you're getting the recognition you deserve for Hain's demise.
Will you be appearing as Guido or [redacted] this time out?
Recognition indeed, dear Guido - they will try to discredit you, of course, but we know better...
Definitely 'Arise, Sir Guido'...
Oh, Yes !! Another episode of 'Guido looks a tit!'
Oh No !! Bonkers Burnham is going to be 'Minister for Fun' !!
I trust Purnell has kept Burnham's seat warm....
Sir Michael *HITE on as well no doubt..amd maybe Foto Faker Purnell?
A question that has been puzzling me: Didn't Peter Hain at one point conduct an audit of his deputy leadership campaign finances and only to report that he had neglected to declare £5,000. I seem to remember that at that point Chris Grayling supported him in not resigning. If he had checked his campaign's accounts so thoroughly then, how did he manage to miss another £100,000 (approx)?
Will you maing an complete twat of yourself as you did last time? Top marks for your digging, though.
Can`t wait. Show your face Mr Fawkes. It`s a day for you to be proud. I salute you, The Nation salutes you.
Arn`t the NuLab tolls quiet ?
No hiding,when they try to trap you THINK before opening gob,enjoy.
You are a national treasure. Make sure you get in a dig about Dame Michael!!
Can they represent you as a Guido avatar?
(Or big cardboard cutout of the cartoon for the earlier post?)
As others have said: Don't make yourself look a tit again PLEASE!
Congrats to you for your efforts.
Now, what about that Labour woman up in 'Bonnie Scotland'?
Yes Kirsty Squalk has got Andrew Marr hiding in the wings.. and Jeremy's pants are the trophy
Guito Harry on the BBC1 6o'clock news referring to 'call in the cops'.They'll do anything to lessen the impact of this/make it seem lighter.

could you smuggle a couple of barrels of gunpowder in with you?
I will happily donate a box of matches.
I have been vomiting over this oily brown nosing piece of sycophancy since I, too, was a student in the sixties. His nauseous and quite cynical climb to power and influence, with only a pretence to principle, is only mirrored by those hypocritical money grabbers who sit alongside him on the benches of the pretend socialist party.
Spear him, shaft him, skewer him and now let us all barbecue him.
Now let us do the same to his equally squalid unprincipled fellow party members of parliament.
Perhaps a good destination for him would be deprted and made to act as a PR advisor to Mugabe.
Go for it Guido, hunt them all down one by one. Identify them mock them and then hang them out to dry.
It is, Guido, to be the Hercules to the Augean stables that are the present governmet
****
It's the people who threw thousands at the Orange Permatanned One in the hope of some future payback, any hope of which has now gone down the pan with a royal flush, that I feel sorry for..
Not.
****
Guido - don't forget to mention Stanislav; and if you manage to say the words 'Gordon Brown' and 'rocking-horse' in the same sentence, I shall donate £50 to the charity of your choice.
PS: if Kirsty is interviewing you, try not to stare at her breasts because she tends to smuggle very large peanuts and they can be quite off-putting.
A special occasion indeed, Guido!
The pathetic MSM should be ashamed......
Have a good one!
Sock it to 'em Guido.
I have a spare Burka if you need it.
Bloody well done and congratulations.
As others have suggested, don't do the mystery man bit. Take a well-deserved bow.
Just watch your back with those Beeboid Bastards....
Of course we learnt nothing new today, but look at all the commentators saying his resignation was inevitable etc as if they were calling for his head all along. Nick Robinson for a start who appears to be in comment moderation mode as per usual.
Hell's teeth.I hope it is not a trap by Marr.Good luck,but remember that you will be in bandit country.
Why dont you go out and get a fake orange tan........just for laughs!
"....you can`t expect people who are perfect to be running the country."

Quote of the day?
it will be a fairly short piece, but they will try to cover more ground than they have allowed you time for. They've invited you, so it is your prerogative to set the agenda and stick to it.
I respectfully suggest that 'let's stick to the point'
will be a very helpful refrain for your goodself
sir.
guido well done !
hope tonight goes well , and for all other people who believe that there is somthing very decietful and corrupt about this goverment.
i keep having a mr bridger moments ,(italian job).
I hope its paxo. This paddy can tell us all about how he slay a British politian

I've just watched your first outing on Newsnight and the nerves got you Guido.
You should feel much more comfortable this time, so good luck my friend.
Keep up the excellent work!
Guido,
I hope you've done some 'media training'.
I guess we'll see, I shall certainly be tuned in.
Well done and as just rewards your ad revenue today must be good.
I will also donate £50 to your charity of choice if you get either of the words 'rocking' or 'horse' in any where in the 'show'.
Shit bag,
You read my pissed comment from the other night and now you can't look her in the face either.
Great tits.
Guido, DONT STARE AT THE TITS!
Draft plans will be released today to politicise Britain's charity think-tanks. The Charity Commission will consider the proposals next week, which could result in think-tanks being able to campaign on contentious political issues (Telegraph, p.12
Guido.........please try to get this on the agenda. There can only be one reason for Brown to support this and that is to avoid transparency. Bring up the Sith and ask why the delay and why are they advocating this before responding to your (and our) complaints.
Don't walk down any dark alleys. They don't like it up 'em. However, if they get you, you'll be the first Blog martyr. Fantastic....you've come a long way!
LOL. The media ignored you, and you made them listen. No doubt they will try to make you look a little silly again, but you have shown what you can do, so it doesn't really matter. Got any juicy stories on Paxo? That might allow for an easier ride.
Word of advice - Stay off the Margaux until AFTERwards.
Please do mention Gordo's penchant for school appeances with small kiddies... I wonder if he ever tried to be Father Christmas so they could sit on his knee and he could give them a present... It's revolting watching him at schools (no doubt he will be at one tomorrow to announce some eduwank to try and get the media off his back) eyeing (singular) up the kids.
Good on yer, Guido.
But tonight, no matter what, always, Always, ALWAYS remember that the beeb is the enemy and you are on their ground.
Do not accept drinks until afterwards.
Don't make a tit of yourself! Go out and win one for the Gipper.
They are clearly going to try and shaft you big time. Give them all hell. Make sure you take all the credit and ask why they ignore blog power.
Keep it simple.
Remember the old adage..
'Once bitten, twice shyte..'
Seriously Guido, if you manage to use the phrase "Gordon's Rocking Horse" I will stump up £500 for a huge post-Hain celebration dinner.
Something like "the wheels are falling off Gordon's Rocking Horse" or similar might work.
Steve B
Good luck.
At PMQs yesterday, Gordon Brown said that the taxpayer could make a
profit from Northern Rock
Only if his handling of it brings the bastard down
From the BBC.co.uk report on Hain...
He praised Mr Hain's contribution to the government, adding: "I know that you will continue to make a contribution to public life in the future".
This exact line was used in the first series Thick of It when the 'Dan' character resigns instead of Chris Langham's character.
You couldn't make it up.
You refused a tv appearance recently. I suppose this time the ££ make it worth your while.
Congrats Guido.

Remember, "Rocking horse" and "Gordon Brown" in the same sentence.
Good luck!
Can't you do a Prince of Wales and be hollogrammed?
Sorry I will miss the prog tonight but will Sky+ it.
If Purnell is on with you, remind the lying fucker that he said on air after the Abrahams exposure that the money had been repaid.
It still has not nor can it be!
Peter Grimes
Well done that man, can i suggest that you hint that you have more dirt to dish on crazy frog aka bendy wendy ?
Guido, I hope you make the point that the BBC and most of the media/newspapers disregarded this story!
and I agree that you should suggest that you have more!
I look forward to the boradcast....expect to be sneered at by Pax...underpants..man
Your off to the BBC.....Are you MAD, very brave, or as thick as TWO short fat paddies?
What we want to here is CHARGES or better still CONVICTED, before the victory parade.
Well done anyway.
So much slime and so few lifetimes in which to cleanse it all.
anon 7.28, are you a communist?
I thought I had given all the trolls such a good bashing today that they had all fucked off to lick their wounds.
I will have to redouble my efforts.
Whatever it looks like in the studio, the BBC will have photoshopped in James Purnell, Sir Michael White, Jeremy Paxman and all four Teletubbies to distract the viewers at home from whatever you're saying. So make it snappy, before they lose concentration.
Steve Richards and Anne McElvoy versus Guido according to Iain Dale.
Gordon's horse is on the rocks.
Don't bugger it up Guido. Point out that Hain broke the law, not the rules...
Break a leg! Is'nt that what luvvies say before they go on stage.
So many questions so little time, but you could ask why his semi detached castle in Wales does'nt appear in the register of interests.
Mention of rocking horses and nappys, would bring rapturous applause from a grateful nation!!
Insist that each question is preceded by "Oompa Loompa Doopity doo I've got another question for you".
Doubt I shall be home in time to watch but will view it off their website later. Good luck!
Dear Guido,
Please, please, please do not hide behind that stupid screen again. That made you look very childish and it was a gift to your enemies. Give them hell this time and good luck.
Try speaking in the same way as you write and it will be perfect.
We'll all be watching, will comment moderation be on blossom ?
be yourself, dont hide, stuff the bastards.
May the force be with you.The BBC is a real enemy of freedom and can never be trusted.It it starts to go wrong stick out your right arm and shout "exterminate exterminate" very loudly.This always confuses the self important.
If Dame Michael admits to speeding yet again please arrest her.
HA HA the Italians just had a political enema and a useless shit has gone they are dropping like flies today.
Trollocks said.Arn`t the NuLab trolls quiet ?
It's called comment moderation dickhead.
I hope White and Paxman make an arse of you again.
Thank fuck I have a wide screen TV.
On this edition I would like you to rub oil into your Moobs, lift them and lick them as you pout into the camera.
I hope that you have waxed.

I WILL DOUBLE THAT. JUST BE VERY VERY CAREFUL! YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN.
guido the knifes will be out, prepare your answers and point out the left wing bias of the BBC and give them some examples of this bias.
explain to the BBC that many people now avoid it as a source for unbiased information and it is often refered to as newspeak, the political broadcasting arm of the Labour party.
even if they deny the alegations which they will - explain to them that nearly all of the many thousand hits certainly at the very least percieve such a bias.
this is your chance to actually kick the BBC in the balls.
and too be quite honest i find Paxo more rude and childish that intimidating - these days hes nothing more than a pompous clown.
be fully prepared and you could have your revenge from the last time they attacked two on one.
if you make Paxo look like the useless twat he has become then you will be forever a legend and will hopefully rock the corrupt communist gravy train that is the BBC.
here is your big chance to expose the BBC bias.
go get em!
Fire some fucks into them Guido.
starshipdoctor said...May the force be with you.
Quality post fellow, with plonkers like you on side our victory will be assured.
mike 8.45.
It's on 24/7 at the BBC.
You really should do the rocking horse/brown thing I will likewise donate.
Pls Pls say to Wark-"it is now only a matter of time before your Wendy Alexander will go-she is a self confessed criminal and commands no respect from the Scots who voted for her."
not so, comfy socks, I've netted several trolls today and given them all a fucking good hiding. what fun! and it's all thanks to the great Guido Fawkes Esq.
if you can't smell them, maybe it's because you need to change your socks. or maybe it's because you are one?
I do hope it's the latter.
Make sure that you mention this is down to one thing, good old fashioned investigative journalism!
Good luck, don't let them get away with the word 'rules' when we are talking about laws - and do point out that Hain still owes the Labour Party fifteen grand, and has he repaid this?
Can somebody point me in the direction of Mrs Warks fun bags.
They sound like belters.
Or is that not pc?
Guido my thoughts:
(a) Fully expect let them to accuse you of publishing anything without checks and balances.
Paxman tried that one last time from what I remember. This time it is worst as the BBC is even more stared of its own shadow and so finds it hard to report news stories that may cause the UK Government to look bad. Their team of solicitors and lawyers runs the Beeb.
(b) Some NuLabour git which SnoozeNight puts up against you will use your full name (rather than your alias) to try and get a "raise" from you. They will do that on many occasions.
(c) If you are in shadow expect technical failure during the live interview to unmask you. They will say sorry later, but the damage will have been done. Wear a nice looking Ball Mask or such like.
(d) If Paxo is rude to you, ask him why your blog has more readership than most/many newspapers (online or on paper).
(e) Offer Paxo a job to free him from his Beeb chains.
Hope that helps
anon 12.07 (unmasked by the thicko thick as thieves)
Does this mean that any of us can advertise here?
Peter Hain - an Update
Question why the Electoral Commission haven't refered Wendy Alexander to the police.
Labour've already admitted it was illegal.
So what's the delay in getting it properly investigated?
Wipe the floor with the bastards. Tell them why no one trusts them anymore. Ask them if there is another civilized country where the citizen needs government permission to watch TV and goes to prison if he has no licence. Remember George Galloway in the US Senate over Irak. Go get them Guido. My shares have gone up and Hain has bitten the dust. My day has been perfect. Make it even better.
infact comfy socks I have just bagged another one on the How Guido Destroyed thread. please do come along and watch your comrade get a fucking good going over.
the trolls are getting cleverer, this one's playing the role of the vestel virgin. these new labour war party trolls really do have no shame at all.
is it just me, or is Guido a fat fuck?
He's on - without a screen in sight. Go for it!
Guido,
You are absent, of course you're on Newsnight, you really are a one man band. Good on you.
I have just caught sight of you on that sofa.
As a friend, I hope you'll take this the right way, you are a fat bastard, talk about the snotgobbler using an old photo.
Who ate all the pies?
Any link to most of BBC's Iplayer being taken offline?
Be careful Guido the BBC are no friend of us right of centre bloggers.
You look like a geek. I'm not surprised it's taken you this long to get on tele!
Kirsty Wark was bloody useless with Hoon.
"It is right. . ."
Why do I keep hearing that phrase, what the fuck do you mean? That you are right? Fuck off.
What else, "I don't accept that". Cunt. You wouldn't, would you?
SocGen. How I laughed today. My dealer friend said the guy only started trading Jan 4th. Not sure that's true.
Wark can't pronounce SocGen either, dumb Scotch bint.
Keeping you 'till last fatso, you are the star attraction.
Tanks for that thicko theves. I tink we both know each other, so we do.
I`ve been called some names in me time but never a dick head. Ah well it takes one to know one. Comfy Soxs. Go eat em. sad sack.
Thickasthieves,
Thickasshit more like it.
Hoisted by their own petard.
The politicians happily make convoluted laws for the "little people" to get shafted on.
Terrorism laws being used against a person reciting the names of the dead soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan at the Cenotaph being a particularly nasty example.
Maybe they could spend time making laws work better?
They barely let Guido get a word in!
That guy going on about Brown being screwed either which way he went - A firm decision rather than dithering is something we demand/expect of a political leader! There may have been criticism but undoubtedly less so than now.
Good advice for Brown too. He needs to lead not be "pulled along" as you said.
Hmm.. have to say though they didn't give you a fair crack of the whip but at least they couldn't pull you apart this time.
All in all Guido, not bad!
They've got No2 NuLabour stooge on this time to trash you. Steve Richards this time, rather than White of The Guardian.
Good luck Guido.
Just seen it. Richards couldn't be bothered. Guido not allowed to say more than his name,rank and number.
Damp squib. And ease up on the pies Guido.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?
Okay... they made it a last minute thing and it was clear that the Independent twat was stalling with complicity-- even so, why no interruption?
I must say, Al Beeb has done you in again. Not Sir Michael Slime arrogance -- simple 'nice' redundancy.
Guido: we need an explanation.
why the dither and delay in newsnight printing your name?? Steve's had been up 2 or 3 times
an improvement on last time, hope you gave Richards the slap he deserved
Didn't need the skateboarding duck after all, we had some library footage of World War II we could run.
Shame really, we'd have loved to have heard how a blogger can show us up.
10000% times better. Someones been having that there media training me thinks!
Anyway, as you spotted from Steve Richards, never stop talking and learn how not to need to take a breath when talking.
Also wave your arms a bit and point at the Kirsty person a lot
Onwards to Harperson and Wee Wendy and Red Ken
What a load of rubbish and waste of time that was. Kirsty Squawk told us 50 minutes ago in her headline intro that Guido was going to be interviewed about his blog's role in Hain's downfall, only for a fucking brief discussion in the dregs of the programme lasting all of five minutes about Brown, not Hain, dominated by the Independent geezer with verbal diarrhoea.
Guido was far too reticent and Kirsty and her production team are utterly useless.
The boy done good. I was happy to be in range of British TV (in Belgium) so as to watch it. These mainstream media types are too graceless to acknowledge British blogging's first major political scalp, but well done anyway.
Oh dear! Television really isn't your medium I'm afraid, even without the black-out. Despite your blogging ferocity you don't seemt to possess the killer instinct that might have allowed you to interrupt the monumentally complacent Hain apologist Richards and tell him not to be such a total wanker. His body language and - well, everything - also clearly indicated that he loathed sharing a platform with a blogger, while Wark at least tried to keep you involved in what was in danger of becoming an unilluminating Richards rant. Stick to blogging Guido.
Just seen snoozenight. Paul (Guido) was too quiet. He said so little. The other chap talked and talked and took the limelight. He was much better versed in TV interviews than Paul.
Nice to see what you look like Paul, but I don't think it was worth the cost of your airfare and time for you to travel from Ireland to London for the non-result.
Hell - you even where heard giving (free) advice to Gordon about what he should be doing!!
Just kick the Brown Labour git, don't help him out of his mess/hole.
Ahhhhh!!!!
well having you on air at the start - but then making you wait until the very end of the programme - and after a 15 minute filler on pursuing Nazi war criminals in the US - suggests that there was not the appetite to do this properly. Throw in a tame Indie Journo and I think you managed ooh - all of 1 minute of comment. what a waste....
i've said it before, and I'll say it again. Stay off the fucking television.
Wasn't he sweet? but Guido you must speak up in class, not just wait for the teacher to pick you out. Otherwise the big boys will walk all over you.
Seriously, worked a lot better than i was expecting. Nice one.
You've let yourself go Paul- bloody hell!!!
Thought you could have performed better than that..... :)
Guido,
you were mighty fine.
well done.
Caroline
Bless. What happened? Kirsty looked hard. I know you did so much in the campaign but you looked like a jelly.
ps don't like your authentication - if you are dsylexic it don't work
So, when are you going to learn? You can't attack the comfy living of journos and then expect them to do anything to you other than make you sit in the corner like a naughty boy before answering two stupid questions and being told that the Newsnight blog is a "grownup" one. It's times like this when I think you are a total idiot.
You came over really well (although you did look like a sack of shit ). I would like to have heard a lot more about what you had to say in general.
Dull ..I know ...but there it is
Diane Abbott just gave you a hat-tip on This Week.
Diane abbot bigs up Guido on this week! you need an agent son!
Guido just got namechecked by Abbot on This Week.......... Correctly crediting him for bringing down Hain.
Look
Just as you treat the MSM as incompetempt cunts
Then the MSM will make you look like an incompetent cunt.
Actually, Guido did not destroy Hain's ambitions. Any more than the journalist reporting on a drunk driver's killing a bus stop full of bus passengers caused the driver to drive drunk.
But! what reporting! Guido did a first class job in showing everyone what hubris is, by using a living, tantastic model.
Far too much air-time given to that Indy journo (whoever he was). They billed Guido as "the blogger who brought down Hain" but then barely broached the issue (or Guido) and focused instead on Indy journo's views on Broon - which, like the man himself, were boring.
Would've been better if Paxman was on.
Diane abbott just gave you the credit guido looks like you are gaining more and more influence.
great stuff.
the Tories were outed on question time tonight as EU whores.
asked if they would give us a referendum if they came to power they would not answer the question.
it appears almost certainly that they would not - they are in it as much as Labour and the Lib Dems.
this leaves us no mainstreme opposition to a EUSSR takeover and the destruction of our democracy and political accountability.
lib lab con will only offer a change of colour rosette as we dissapear into the jaws of Europe.
while the Tories are playing coy, for me they have fully revealed their hand, that they are pro the EUSSR and the destruction of the UK democracy.
no doubt a few backhanders will sweeten the deal once they come to power if they were not already in the bag with the EU backing and pulling the strings of ALL the political parties in UK.
leaving the people of the UK NO choice in the mainstreme.
it appears to be clear that the Tories DONT want a referendum and are already bought and paid for by Europe. its all a sham to give the impression that the Tories are offering a important and valid choice BUT THEY ARE NOT!
only two parties make a solid stand giving the people the choice on Europe regardless of what stich up has taken place and that is UKIP and the BNP, the BNP are gaining ground while UKIP are going down the drain.
what a sad and sorry state of affairs, our polititions have left us with.
and i thought they were meant to serve us, they are now serving their corrupt EU masters!
Paul, let me media train you. You let that pontificating toss artist next to you ramble on far too long.
The media savvy way to interject would have been to lean over and tell him to shut his shit-eating gob.
So now you know. That'll be £450 please.
Someone should explain to that oily tick Geoff Hoon that just because he doesn't accept something doesn't make it false.
"the BNP are gaining ground"
Really? Care to back that up? Winning a few votes in local council elections is hardly "gaining ground". UKIP, sad and pathetic bunch of xenophobes that they are, managed to get a few MEPs - what have the BNP won recently?
I'm no friend of the EU by any stretch of the imagination, but I hardly think the bleatings of Olly Letwin are grounds for saying the Tories wouldn't offer a referendum on the EU constitution.
Good performance Guido - definitely better than last time though they could have given you more time to talk! I bet your hits go through the roof over the next day or so.
Good understated performance from you on Newsnight tonight Guido. Well done lad! Enjoy the fame, you deserve it for nailing that spiv Hain.
I wasn't at all impressed by Steve Richards from the Indie. What's his h-dropping and fake estuary English all about? Everyone knows he's a posh twat. He also made it obvious he's jealous as hell of the sucess of the blogs compared to his rancid little cock-sucking newspaper. What a sad tosser that guy is and such a crap wig already!
