Fijian PM is Commander Bainimarama
British PM is Completely Bananas
Guido is not making this up, this is the official advertising campaign for the Fijian Visitors Bureau:
Gordon gave permission for the use of his image according to the advertising agency behind the advert "so long as it was not derogatory and it did not appear that he was endorsing the islands in any way. We showed them the image of the Prime Minister with the red flower behind his ear and they said it was okay to use". Presumably the PM just wants to show solidarity with another unelected PM?
UPDATE : Have just been looking into the situation in Fiji, widespread human rights abuses, suppression of pro-democracy activists, violence against activists by the dictatorship and the jailing of independent bloggers in the forefront of the widely suppressed anti-government media. You can see the attraction for Gordon...

Is he into 12 INCHES OF BANANARAMA?
There is a FULL MOON tonight.
Bainarama launched a coup and closed down newspapers critical of him. He has had bloggers arrested and beaten. Dissent is not tolerated. No wonder Gordon is so supportive.

Doesn't he look so sweet!
Where's the rocking horse?
Is that a pansy ?
Yes and he has a flower behind his ear.
Is "Cruel Summer" the Fijian National Anthem?
He probably assumed that it was Fife he was backing not Fiji. It looks like he's had a Caine Mutiny moment to me. I suppose it's waking up and realising that all his shres in Northern Rock are now worthless.
anon 4.12
and one up his arse that you can't see
And to think he claims Margaret Thatcher as a role model.
Words utterly, utterly fail me.
Perhaps he's going to Fiji - oh please let him go and not come back.
I'm speechless..........jus'...wha?
!!!!!!!!!!
That should fuck up Fiji's tourist trade given our beloved fuhrers track record that everything he touches turns to shit
Is 'fiji me' a euphemism for something so disgusting even I've never heard of it? Whatever it is, I'd think long and hard before I'd fiji Gordon.
If they're selling packages out of the UK they must be under the impression that a picture of Gordon Brown might encourage people to leave the country.
Plus they've photoshopped him nicely and even sliced off some of the jowels...
next they'll be offering to airbrush Tony out of any Government photos, 1997-2007
It makes him look like Morrissey. How very apposite. Someone else whose sexuality has been a matter of debate.
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

Quotes from the half-baked Fiji web site: "Here in Fiji you can say, "Thrill Me" ... You might also request, "Romance Me" and engage in every single type of romantic fantasy come true that your mind can possible dream up. Fiji may call out for you to "Explore Me" ..."
So that's why Gordon's grinning from ear to ear. Fucking pervert.

Fijime? Is that one of those things our busy politicans do after hours?
Do you have to go to special houses to get it?
WTF ?
Is Gordo aware that the flower has significance in the South Pacific Islands in the way it is worn thus:
Worn behind your right ear, it means you are single, available.
Worn behind your left ear : you are married, engaged or otherwise taken.
Worn behind both ears : you are married but still available.
Worn backward behind your ear : you are available immediately.
Hmmm....

The first faggot BANANA Republic was Zimbabwe, forced on the Rhodesians by the Liberal British. When you destroy freedom of speech and freedom of thought, you end up with the Labour Party, the little Conservatives and the ineffectual Liberals, whilst men of no parties die on foreign fields.
Off Fiji topic but is emergency civil rights issue.
Wossallthis shit here about ? Mr Anonymous on your first thread at 8.58. What's this bloke on about ? You know how stanislav struggle with english to speak fucking properly.

And then Hizzonner Mayor Ken says 's OK, Lady Iain was protecting werking clarse Lahndunners from Polish terrorist threat up there in facking Gorbalsville and has my full facking confidence.

Guido probably very busy getting pissed with rubbish ex-Tory MP all braying and honking like fucking seals in stripey shirt and red braces reminisce about good old days when Old Bill trash the fucking miners' houses and terrify the kiddies and shut down every fucking bastard thing, steel and coal and ships and aircraft and turn the place into a spivbanker playground and FatCunt Clarke wrecked everything he fucking touched and great fucking ponce Heseltine flouncing about, bonkers, tossing his hair like a big spiteful girl and Archbishop Selwyn fucking Gummer shove beefburger down throat of brat, eat this, Bitch, Daddy's job depends on it and fucking horrible slime ball, Mellor drag brats out to meet press, say, look, this is son Freddie and girl, wotsername, so is family man here, not useless fucking prick bang any old slapper in town but not Mrs Currie. Yes, Oh happy fucking day, memories is made of this. But now is now and if commenters is shot, jailed and deported is bad shit all around and not good for business and bollocks to Bloomberg, innit; no fucker gonna come here if Guido gives out everything, VAT number, birthdate, inside leg measurement and home address and telephone number, so please to find a sober moment to reassure loyal commenter, or even not reassure, that this is safe place for decent fucking anarchist to come into.
ps Mrs Dale from next door was on Scotch Newsnight last night. He was their suit-and-tie expert on Anglo-Hibernian relationships. Honest. Not invent. It's fucking hard living up here.
There will be change in policy Stanislav. No income tax, no V.A.T., no money back, no guarantee.
pmq review
a noticeable change , from what was being whispered mr speaker was getting so much stick that gordon wa asked to comply to make him look too complicit.
johnson was err tight lipped this time harman did her useual its only half an hour i think i can look like ime on his side , but the sound of finger nails going down the blackboard was evident.
so cameron led with a politness and then a cudgel missing DNA disks , gordon reverted to asking him a question , cameron ended with point up , then we had a plethora of nicely sculptured labour femail questions , (ohh your such a really good pm arent you gordon) , then clegg with what was quite a dangerous question , gordon treated him with contempt again , a non answer . clegg still doesnt quite deliver so gordon just swats him away.
back to cameron somewhat led by gordon , of course cameron was right on freedom of information act , i think we should know if we are getting value or not. again non answer even a confidential circular to mps , no one can buy shares , as for business manouverings , this bank is no threat to the high street ,overall view to public is hiding somthing .
however he did offer to write a few responses to questions which has to be an improvement.
the red despot spotter notes this change over to blair behavoir is some what desperate , as though he is now having to be someone else.
over all a bit steadier so johna rating decreases to 2
the underlying problems still remain but a sucessful polycell over it for this week.
jaqui smiths proposals with gordons citizenship is noted for its confusion in that it appears not to blame them for creating the problem in the first place. but public sense its bullshit.
why on earth should you trust a cbinet that has got us into so much crap to get us out of it !!
immigration figs are still tractor stats.

FAO whom it may concern:
Stanislav's inside leg measurements - according to wiki = left 32 inches, right 27 inches.
You can trust Guido mate. He will defend you to within an inch of your life.
they've made the cunt look like elvis presley for fuck's sake! what the fuck is occurring here?
gordon brown has an infallibility complex. a sure sign of madness. I believe his delusions of grandeur are demi-godlike in scale.
in short he is a raving fucking lunatic.
some people in the labour party had better get this madman to stand down before a vote of no confidence in the government's ability to fulfill its primary duty to protect the public is moved for.
and also; darling why haven't you resigned yet
you fucking spastic.
** BREAKING NEWS
JASPER IS HOME AND DRY
** ENDS
More good news in the Grasper saga:
'Police leave Ken without a fig leaf to cover up the Jasper affair'
http://lydall.thisislondon.co.uk/2008/02/police-leave-ke.html
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"Fijians love flowers, and both genders like to wear them. If visiting, it is well worth being aware of the meaning of a flower behind the ear. If you wear a flower behind your left ear, it means you are taken, if you wear a flower behind your right ear, it means you are available to the opposite sex (or perhaps to the same sex, or perhaps to everyone...) If you wear a flower behind both ears, it means you are taken, but also available. So depending on what sort of holiday you want to have, you may wish to stock up on flowers when you get there"
I think we all know what side the bogey man bats for.
The relevant text on that Grasper story:
Today Ken, asked to update the Assembly on the "dodgy grants" scandal, said: "I have been told by the police at this time it's too early to form a view as to whether Mr Jasper is involved, or to determine his status in the investigation."
As such, Ken was saying nowt - the underlying aim of his decision last Friday to call in the police. What Ken wants is to park the Jasper affair in a lay-by somewhere north of Watford and not have it continue to cast a huge dark cloud over his re-election bid.
But a quick call to Scotland Yard this lunchtime yielded a rather different interpretation to the Mayor's statement. The Standard's crime correspondent, Justin Davenport, was told that effectively there would be no police investigation into Mr Jasper - as no allegations of criminal behaviour had been received.
And why might this be the case? Because Ken hadn't made any.
Rather, his letter to the Yard last week had asked the police to investigate a crime that nobody said had ever been committed. Then, when Inspector Knacker came back with the answer that no laws had been broken, he'd hoped to be able to declare: Lee Jasper cleared!
Alas, the Yard have rather foiled this plan by acting so quickly and deciding that there's nothing for them to do. Ken may have expected that following the "cash for honours" probe, nothing would be decided for a few months - well after the 1 May election, at least.
But while the fraud squad continues to probe six companies linked to Mr Jasper (or his associates) where large sums of London Development Agency cash cannot be accounted for, the Met has effectively declined to provide a fig leaf to cover up the Mayor's embarrassment with his wayward aide.
They'll be dancin' in the old frog & toad tonite!!!
(For Stan's benefit)
OT but feel I Stanislav the poetic plumber's ire needs a response.
The dozy cunt in question (anon 8:58) read:
'today's new criminal offence is said..'
"I see that the IP addresses of those accessing the sight were requested along with the block on Wikileaks domain (h/t fellow guido person etc"
He clearly doesn't understand the difference between 'the' and 'this'.
People accessing the Wikileaks site you fucking eejit.

Floral Brown is my new desktop wallpaper. He marks a welcome respite from Ceiling Cat.
Yes, we all laugh at Gordon now. But any politician - let alone a supposedly "senior" one - who has such little awareness of his public image is up there in the Ceausescu league. It's like living through the latter days of Romanian communism, UK 2008-style. We've even got the Cheeky Girls, for fuck's sake.
And you know it's only a matter of time until the fairies inside his head tell him to nuke South Kensington...

The driver of Fijian politics is its wonderful diversity. The population is split roughly 60/40 between native Fijians and the descendants of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent. While the restaurants have immeasurably improved, politics are ethnically polarised.
The 99% ethnically Fijian army has carried out a couple of coups in the last 20 years.
Ethnic Fijians own 80% of the land, via a clan ownership system - the VKB or Native Lands Register - which militates against individuals selling land to Indo-Fijians. All indigenous (ethnic) Fijians are entitled to membership and hence land ownership.
The Fijian government is working on legislation which will grant lifetime nationality to indigenous Fijians, even if they live elsewhere.
Perhaps Gordon has been picking up a few tips for the years ahead ?

You may think there is a full moon tonight, because you have just seen one. But the BBC said there is a total eclipse.
You may think Gordon Brown is an ugly monster from out of space. But the BBC said he is gods gift to women kind, and a general WOW with the female voter.
Therefore your eyes must be wrong, or you are a just a Tory, so your opinions count for lest then nothing.
ATLAS shrugged
Fiji has a great number of small uninhabited islets so maybe Bananarama could find one for Gordo McBroon-Flower-Power to go lose himself on. He would then really be in charge and could even start his own bank using sea shells...

For your eyes only Eddy baby.
"The first faggot BANANA Republic was Zimbabwe"
Yeah, that's right, their first president was called Canaan Banana (I kid you not) and all the foreign press were advised not to describe any talks with the Zimbabwean president as "fruitful"
Does this make Gordon an official fan of the Pacific Rim?
The old rimmer.
The single most distressing thing about this is that when I first saw the ad in the papers, I was not outraged - it didn't even cause me to pause in disbelief.
This is a photograph of our prime minister (lower-case initial letters used intentionally) with a flower in his hair advertising a tourist destination.
Does that not dimnish him, our government, politicians and this country - does it not make us a laughing stock.
Can you imagine what any Prime Minister before the idiot Blair would have responded to the request to use their image in this way ? They would have treated it with the outraged contempt it deserves.
And yet, when I first saw it, my reaction was ... nothing
This shows the depths to which our reputation and pride have been dragged down by this government.
We don't find it in any way surprising that the (so-called) leader of our nation agrees to be made to look a complete and utter twat for the sake of cheap advertising.
Man the barricades.
Dear Mr Vervet
Would not depart from all you say but the snot-eating was worse. In a proper country there'd a been a revolution over that. Flowers is one thing, bogeys is a whole other heap of shit.
see you at the barricades
love from stanislav
I really cannot think of any Prime Minister in the last 50 years who would have allowed his image to be used in this way and to promote a foreign tourist industry of a despotic regimen.
Not one.
