It was quite extraordinary to think that even this cunt could come out with shite like this.
I feel a Ratner in the making, and let's face it, he's fucking useless and only been there five fucking minutes as it is. He seems to think that sucking on Browns cock makes him an elder statesman.
With all that extra dosh swilling around there'll be even more in the trough for me and the missus. Do you think we could get the piglets on the payroll too?
Absolutley unbelievable. They really do not understand do they? Because they are totally unprincipled immoral morons the fact that we hold them in utter contempt worries them not at all.
I can only hope that his constituents see this, and when they have trouble with making ends meet, reflect on the attitude of their representative in Parliament.
Just come back from the US. The Taxi driver says to me "... how come you guys changed your Prime Minister, but you ain't had an election ...". The trip to the airport was too short to explain it to her.
In a few short minutes, it became obvious that this middle-aged mum, who drives a taxi while the kids are at school; knew more about how her government works than I do about mine.
She had apparently wanted to know how much it would cost to buy another deputy sheriff for her district. The (elected) Sheriff phoned her back the same day and told her. "So What" you might say. That's a real democracy I say.
I was watching BBC Breakfast News this morning with Sian and Bill presenting. In their first paper review, Sian held up the "Daily Express" which has the "So What?" comment and Balls's ugly mug all over the front page. She said that government aides are now claiming that Balls said either "So weak" or "Swot" and Sian muttered something about it sounding like government spin.
When they did the second paper review, the "Daily Express" was omitted. I wonder why?
Is that a restraint jacket waiting on the seat behind him? It certianly looks like leather with lots of heavy duty buckles, or I guess it might the saddle from a rocking horse.
Have just watched the whole Cameron speech. It was good, but his delivery was too fast and too much like he was reading.
Some of what he was saying was going straight to heart of the matter, and yet he rattled it off like a shopping list. Savour those words Dave, make those maxists squirm.
And he missed a huge trick when FatBalls - who is fast becoming the new TwoJags - said "so what?"
He should have torn the greasy sneering pile of blubber to pieces...with something along the lines of "So what? The Honourable gentleman says 'so what?' to families who are struggling to pay higher food bills, higher fuel bills and now among the highest taxes in Europe?"
It's hard to ad lib in the middle of a speech but that was a gift of a remark and Greasy Balls should have left that chamber feeling like he'd just been gang-banged by a pack of bull elephants.
Sharpen up Dave - get in on the attack - and do it hard. These bastards are screwing the country and the people need a champion. Forget plastic bags, polar bears and windmills.
All very worthy but not what people in the streets are talking about or care about at the moment. If you don't have anyone in your team who knows that sack a few of them and bring in someone who does.
This is serious now - the whole future of the UK is at stake.
He went to the best private school in Nottingham 15k per year paid by his rich parents then to university and politics he has never done a proper job .How can he sit there sweating and saying so what!!! Guido he needs investigating him and his wife are deep in the trough
I hope my local newsagent has that particular edition of the Daily Express in stock. If so I'm going to buy it, photo-copy it as many times as I can, then plaster it all over Casa Balls. That will make a nice welcome home week-end surprise for the bastards!

I see on the BBC-news business page that all the stock market indices are showing deep red.
"Stability, stability, we are right to do this, we are right to do that, stability, stability..."
Governmental mismanagement of the money supply - with stupid fucker Ed Balls choosing an inflation rate target which omits tax and housing costs - is leading to a recession, maybe even a crash...
Thanks to his increasingly bloated face Balls is beginning looking to look like a doppelganger for Ernst Stavro Bloefelt. All he needs is a white cat and a tank of piranhas.
If Labour are to defeated this need to be their 'no society' moment. It doesn't matter whether Balls said it or not. Thatcher never said 'no society' If it's repeated often enough he will have said it and it'll be an albatross round Labour's neck for decades.
Oh, so what ? It is only the piss artists and the bastards who are fucking up the environment with their huge cars who are going to be paying the price.
Poor people will be much better off, so 'calm down, calm down' as they say on Merseyside.
On Sky News in the early hours, the w-anchorman said Hansard said Balls said "so weak" - but aren't MPs allowed to trot down to the scribes and change what the scribes took down if they so wish? I wonder if Mr Balls did this. It's worth investigating...
From Balls point of view, higher taxes is a "so what", as he is happily feathering his nest at the taxpayers cost. Frome the point of view of us hive workers, it sums up this government to a T. They do not give a fuck.
Time to give them a good slapping. I wish I could think of a good petition for Number 10, to start the ball rolling on a public HOWL for Balls to be sacked for this.
Interesting to hear the Chancellor himself making an utter balls-up of an interview this morning on "Today".
He was caught by Sarah Montague and of all people Evan Davis, who had the temerity to ask him three times on the subject of the historic incompetence of Treasury forecasts of the PSBR (or whatever we call it these days). By the end, Darling was reduced to stammering incoherency as he ever more desperately tried to change the subject. Finally, the blessed Sarah had to rescue him, otherwise he would have drowned.
Take together Darling the weak incompetent, Balls the fat Nazi, Alexander the gigling imp and Brown the deranged loon, all desperately clinging to power, and just wonder how awful things are going to get before the public are given the chance to dump them.
btw - The Scotsman reports that on the Govt's own figures, owing to the price elasticity of demand for scotch whisky, the 53p hike in excise duty will bring in NO extra money.
The Scots are the latest group to learn that the closer you get to New Labour, the easier you are to pickpocket.
"So wot? We're fucking Labour we are so fuck off. Yeah? Fink you're hard do you? Well you are just toff wimps aintcha? So we are goin' to keep all ve power and use it just as we like so do yourselves a favour and fuck off. So wot, so wot, so wot"
I have to believe Cameron when he said he heard "so what" (I couldn't after several runs through), but the only video of Balls is after the ad lib when he is asserting he said "so weak".
Hansard is not so much a trusted document now, various 'edits' including recent removal of 'bollocks' response from Lab front bench re troops complaining about kit.
Can the non-broadcast shots be accessed?. Surely FoI applies.
One of your earlier posters echoed a thought of mine that it was a "Ratner" moment.This will be a shot to be kept in the locker against Balls for the rest of his career.That he has already nobbled Hansard suggests that he has some idea of the weight of the personal clanger he has dropped.
Now here's an interesting one. I was going to post a link to the memorable Brillo interview with 'Scratcher' Balls at the Labour Party conference - but suddenly IT DOESN'T WORK.
Every other Brillo interview that day (La Smith, La Jowell, La Millipede etc) comes through like a dose of salts, but mysteriously the Beeb clip of Scratcher's pummelling is dead.
Just to remind you, it was the quintessential moment when Brillo had Balls squirming like a worm on a hotplate over the government's education record, exposing him as the cunt he really is.
See if you can make it work: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/the_daily_politics/7010025.stm
Once again my poor education lets me down and I have to resort to the kind of language I usually reserve for the mother in law. Anonymong, fuck off you silly, fuckwit, retarded bastard!
And now it has emerged that he and his wife, who are dubbed Labour's "golden couple", receive more than £580,000 a year.
Cabinet ministers each earn £137,579 each, rising to £138,724 when MPs get their pay rise.
They also have access to Westminster's gold-plated pension scheme and the use of official government cars, as well as subsidised travel perks available to all MPs.
Expenses and allowances come in on top of that.
The most recent figures show the couple claimed £307,734 in allowances for 2006-7.
Didn't Darling talk about 25year fixed-rate mortgages in the last budget too?Now we have yet another review.Labour can fart but it can't sh+t seemingly.
No, that's what he now says he said, and after Hansard's 'inability' to record other comments why should we believe its record of events? Hansard is due to be taken over by the RNID very shortly.
Let's see Balls challenge Cameron's comment outside of Parliament, then.
Chaps and chapesses, they don't fucking care what we think, or what we do at 'election' time if we 'vote them out' as each one of the slugs will follow the slime trail left by Kinnock, Mandy etc etc to the holy grail of political pig troughs known as the EU.
As long as we are in that fucked up soviet-style politicial construct the cunts have a gold plated position waiting for them no matter what damage they do to their home country - in fact, being the self serving fuck pigs they are, they know that at the point of entry into the local government formerly known as HM Gov.
NuLab trolls can spin it as much as they like as "So weak,So wet or as they get more desperate Swot" I was watching it live on BBC Parliament and the mike definitely picked up "So what !" Hansard can print what it likes too - I know what I heard and so do thousands of other people who were listening.
The Badger's budget speech was an absolute disgrace. Lie heaped on lie.
First we have the "golden rule" bollocks. That's the rule whereby the government permits itself to spend up to 40% of GDP more than it earns as long as it is for "investment".
Now an "investment" is something that pays back more money after a period of time than the original amount invested. An investment of £40bn that returned £50bn after five years might be a good investment, an investment that returned £40bn after 5 years a poor investment, and an investment that returned nothing would be a failed investment.
The chanceelor tells us that the "investment" was in new schools and hospitals. Now, forgetting for the moment that the new schools and hospitals have been paid for using PFI which doesn't come under the governments "investment" budget, just how exactly is a hospital or a school going to return more money than was paid in? Surely this is a failed investment? This is not a matter of being pedantic. The "golden rule" only made any sense if the reality was that the investment would pay for itself! If not then of course the debt would always have been expected to grow and the "golden rule" was always meaningless - which we know it was of course.
The second issue where Badger was misleading was over the issue of the total budget deficit. Smaller than Japan and the US apparently. Shame both of these are basket cases then, with Japan already having been in recession for 17 years and with things getting worse! Any fool knows this so one can only presume that the Badger knows that Labour's core vote is made up almost entirely of imbeciles and was keen to take full advantage of this. Cynical beyond belief and surely a disgrace to the democratic process. What price one man one vote now?
Well done Guido! The sad thing is, he won't be losing any sleep over it unlike the millions of people in the country who are struggling to keep their heads above the financial waters.
'So What' sounded so much like a fart that Cameron and Hansard could easily have been mistaken. Imagine the everlasting pages had the entry; Balls Farted. Most honest utterance he has made since being elected.
Ah! So it does, Unsworth. Why should this be? All the others work normally - La Blears, La Jowell, Le Hutton, Le Burnham, La Smith, La La Millipede, Al-Campbell and La Kinnock.
Perhaps we read too much into this, but it's still worth watching Bollox for his vapid "world class education for all", "focussed on delivery" and "evwy child a weeder, evwy child a wighter" plus his monstrous claim that more parents are now sending their children to private schools because they couldn't afford it under the Tories.
Goverment borrowing up 43.33% -------------------------------------------- This time last year, when Gordon Brown delivered his final budget, he said the government would borrow £30bn during 2008/09 – the coming fiscal year.
Yesterday, the Chancellor jacked up next year’s debt burden even more - confirming the UK’s 08/09 borrowing total will, in fact, be £43bn.
In other words, in just 12 months, the government’s borrowing estimate for next year has increased by no less than £13bn – a jaw-dropping 43 per cent.
There is also a statement buried deep in the notes, (like much of the bad news), which means that if the tax authorities are not satisfied with the position concerning an individual, they can require third parties to provide information on the unfortunate individual. There is going to be a criminal offence of destroying or concealing records.
I wonder why?
So it seems that now they reckon they’re in the clear, they can impose pressure on all the people to inform, whether they like it or not.
There once was a time when this country produced great politicians and statesmen. Men of great distinction much admired and respected throughout the whole world. Men of great learning and understanding, Men of honour who put monarch and country before self, Men who would sooner fall on their sword than face the humiliation and shame of a public scandal. Now all we have is a scurrilous bunch of conniving thieves and sycophantic vagabonds whose only real purpose in life is self, self, self. Who although from different political ideals will all stand together when faced with the embarrassing truths about their avarice, Who are willing to surrender this country to Europe not for the collective good but once again long term self interest and the interest of spouses and offspring. The really sad thing about all this is this is now considered the norm, so a revolution in the poll booth will only replace one set of thieves with another only wearing a different coloured rosette. While the proletariat of this counter absorb themselves in the opium of the masses and have astute political debates on smokescreen topics such as 4 * 4s and taxes on carrier bags, the politicos that make the laws and govern this land will continue as they deem fit for us. To quote Joseph Marie de Maistre, “Every country has the government it deserves.” Thank you Guido, you are the light in this politically created darkness.
I read that Hansard does not agree that Balls said SO WHAT!!
Yet another case of Hansard changing the truth? Is this another 'Martin Intervention'???
This Government is not going to stop here. They will not offer themselves up for re-election! I fear a National Emergency will keep this lot 'in power' for years to come!
When I worked as an assistant private secretary to a Cabinet Minister (years ago) immediately my minister sat down in the House after a speech or PQs I'd trot along to the Hansard Office and ask to see the type-out of the shorthand writers notes. This was mainly to check that what the min. said was accurately reported (especially, carefully crafted answers to PQs or figures quoted in answers to suplementaries). Since we had the draft speech or draft answers or the briefing with the figures with us to show them the Hansard reporters welcomed the occasional correction we requested. They weren't so happy if we tried to change what looked like an unfortunate slip though we did sometimes try. I can't remember us ever even trying to change a single ad lib comment made from a sitting position like this - and I never remember going to the Hansard Office just to check a single intervention - but times change.
The Government would be heartily fucked if everyone suddenly stopped paying Council Tax, refused to pay Income Tax and bartered for goods and services so the bastards didn't get any VAT either!
Hurrah for YouTube - BBC's link may no longer work, but here is Balls on inflation (with an excellent PS from Paddy Ashdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0G10SSN0qg
And Neill vs Blinky on Edjumacashun at the 2007 conference - pics fragment for a wee while about 4 mins in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrihRaKBcGU
You are quite right. Darling twice used the word "subsidy" to describe putting up the duty on wine less quickly than some other drinks.
Subsidy!!
I think it reflects the kind of double-talk flying around among the out-of-their-depth teenage "consultants" that populate the Treasury these days. All very sharp suited, clean cut and squeaky-voiced. All very loyal to Brown. All very sinister.
But to be fair to Darling, by that stage of his awful "Today" interview (all of seven minutes in) he was clearly shell shocked and struggling. I doubt he really even knew what he was saying.
Imagine him now - tied to a chair, weeping, and with one of Gordon's "close friends" playing the tape to him, over and over again.... poor sod.
The louder they talk of their moral compass, the faster we count our spoons; The more they talk of stability, the faster we put the women and children on the lifeboats.
Apparently, Maguire was in the toilets, where else? and couldn't quite make out Blinky's words, but IS sure he said "sew what?" - Blinky obviously mistook Dave's comment on the economic stability unravelling or perhaps that Dave thought that Prudence's pettycoat was splitting at the seams, or whatever or something like that.
This is a bit of biog. about him from the days before he had started hitting the pies. Just selected to be an MP in 2004 (elected in 2005) this article ends with -
'How will Brown be without his right-hand man? Balls has been close to Gordon for 10 years. He’s not suddenly going to stop being close to him'.
As he's been there as 'the right-hand man', he will be just as culpable as Brown, Darling and all the other tossers when the time for reckoning comes.
Come on there must be some entrepreneurs out there who can slap Blinky's mugshot on a tee shirt emblazoned with his new election winning (I hope not!) catch phrase.
Those foreign casino owners must still be pouring their laundered cash into Labour coffers. Not only was no extra tax applied to gambling but Gordon's promised to flog them the Tote.
Ed Balls definitely had his Gerald Ratner moment. For years people have been going on how clever Brown and Balls are but they are twits. I personally think they are a bunch of wankers
That lady-boy Yvette Cooper (she of the allegedly hairy minge) was on Newsnight with that awful Scots crone, Kirsty Wark, last night, commenting on the budget. She spouted some shite that Gordo had sent round (or perhaps wee Alastair, it was that boring) and then constantly interrupted Phillip Hammond, who’s soft as shite. Even the third guest, Vince Cable, was subdued, presumably in the presence of such female awfulness. What was strange about Cooper (other than her hairstyle, the fact it needed washing, her outfit- a light shade of dog-knob purple, her boots and her accent) was her pop-eyed expression, as if she was on something. I ended up wondering if she was sitting on a dildo, because it was the same eye-bulging glassy stare that some birds get when they take it up the dirtbox. I’m sure she’ll have access to a dildo because carrying that much weight and with that sclerotic complexion it’s a pound to a pinch of shit that Blinky can’t get it up. Perhaps it was the one causing the snot gobbler to wriggle in his seat and grimace earlier - a bit of Jeyes Fluid and it’s good as new.
Yvette Cooper was that idiot who came up with the idea of HIPS which 80% of house buyers don’t even look at. I wonder if it was ED Balls idea originally. They tax you and then they force you to spend your money on something useless
anonspastics, quoting hansard won't save ball's neck. ed 'sweaty' balls is a useless fat cunt. you won't find that in hansard but it is the truth. darling used to be a marxist but now he is exploiting low earners by doubling their tax liability. what a bunch of cunts! so what? so they have signed their own political death warrant. these silly zombies are blowing their own brains out. I was rather hoping to help them and will remain on standby, just to make sure they do the job properly.

"There once was a time when this country produced great politicians and statesmen. Men of great distinction much admired and respected throughout the whole world. Men of great learning and understanding, Men of honour who put monarch and country before self, Men who would sooner fall on their sword than face the humiliation and shame of a public scandal."
times do change - I can remember Simon Hoggart praising the creative skills of the Hansard team in rendering Prezza-speak intelligible so they clearly don't report verbatim any more.
Ed Balls is, and always has been, a damaging influence in politics. He personifies the stereotype that people have of him as being someone who is in it for himself and not concerned with ordinary voters. We all have to earn money, pay taxes and get depressed when looking at our pay slip each month and seeing just how much we have to hand over to the government.
Ed Balls doesn’t need to worry about this. He works, and always has worked, in the public sector. He has a plush position given to him by Gordon Brown which nets him £137,579 plus all the allowances and expenses this job brings. He literally has to buy nothing. He even gets a great big whack of money to subsidise his ‘second home’ in London, despite the fact that he lives there with his wife and sends his kids to the local school!
His aptitude as a local MP is derisory. When I was a councillor I lost count of the number of distressed constituents I listened to who had not even been contacted by their MP when they asked him for help. I have encountered many honourable and hardworking Labour MPs, yet they are being let down, as all politicians are across the country, by people like Balls who are not really interested in their constituents but rather the blinkered pursuit of power.
Balls, the face of the politicised civil service (nothing civil about them and f**k all service). Looks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, smells like a Nazi. The New Labour Goring to Brown's Hitler. The Fat One. Der Dicke.
You can strut about in your mental bunker, point and scream at your strategy maps, but we're coming for you. We are already in the suburbs, blowing down your fantasy castles, letting the hot PC air out of your ideological tires, exposing your lies, closing in.
Back on point, with all these tax free perqs has anyone worked out what the actual rate of tax MPs pay vs. the rest of the population on the same gross income? Perhaps this is why he cares not one jot.
Tuscan Tony - when you take into account the tax-free allowances, taxfree booze, subsidised food - (what am I saying, subsidised everything), free travel, junkets, wall to wall secretaries for croquet or whatever, I have been struggling to find much the cunts actually have to pay for themselves with their own after-tax income.
I reckon they pay 10% of what the poor bastards who pay them get stung for in real terms, but I feel sure an economist could work it out. Thieving bastards.

Balls, like some 80% of the cabinet, would not make it to store manager in your local Sainsbury's.
He has been promoted due to his sycophancy, pure and simple.
Complacent, self-satisfied, uncaring and out of touch. Also increasingly porcine. He is the emblematic face of New Labour. That's what!
He can never live this down..... haha!
Absolutley unbelievable. They really do not understand do they? Because they are totally unprincipled immoral morons the fact that we hold them in utter contempt worries them not at all.

Balls showed the naked face of the "I'm alright Jack" Labour leadership and it certainly ain't pretty.
Perhaps it will allow more people to see what a bunch of odious, self-serving scum we have in government?

I believe this man to be a complete and utter tosspot,how he's got anywhere near the levers of power is a triumph for mediocrity.Wanker
Why would the Balls-ups care anyway, with half a mmillion of our money in their joint pay packets?
He said 'So What?' and not 'So weak'. Denying it is utterly futile as any lip reader will see see quite clearly from the footage.
Classic NuLabour spin starts straight away to pretend he said something else. This just compounds lies upon contempt.
The comment 'has legs' and will run and run. Guido can remake his fortune by selling Blinky 'So What?' T-shirts.
This comment demonstrates in spades:
1. Contempt
2. Arrogance
3. Ignorance
4. Socialism
5. Incompetence
6. Naivete
7. You name it
NuLAbour in a nutshell. The soundbite of our times and a neat summary of the last 10 years under the Snot Gobbler.
Slimy Balls and his wife should be investigated they are so far in the trough
He went to the most expensive private school in Nottingham and has never done any constructive work

He was caught by Sarah Montague and of all people Evan Davis, who had the temerity to ask him three times on the subject of the historic incompetence of Treasury forecasts of the PSBR (or whatever we call it these days). By the end, Darling was reduced to stammering incoherency as he ever more desperately tried to change the subject. Finally, the blessed Sarah had to rescue him, otherwise he would have drowned.
Take together Darling the weak incompetent, Balls the fat Nazi, Alexander the gigling imp and Brown the deranged loon, all desperately clinging to power, and just wonder how awful things are going to get before the public are given the chance to dump them.
Sayonara, Blinky!
Mrs Blinky too, with any luck.
(Word verification: erlyrtrmnt)
John from Camberley...Darling also said that Tory plans not to tax booze was a subsidy!
He clearly said "So what?"
Hansard has been nobbled.
btw - The Scotsman reports that on the Govt's own figures, owing to the price elasticity of demand for scotch whisky, the 53p hike in excise duty will bring in NO extra money.
The Scots are the latest group to learn that the closer you get to New Labour, the easier you are to pickpocket.
Can this Govt do NOTHING right?
Has Hansard been altered at the request of Balls? I understand this is permissible - though God knows why.
C'mon Guido. How about a campaign to make Hansard the record of truth, not the plaything of MPs which can be altered to suit their whims.
His comments will go down (grey)t with hard pressed Labour voters!
"So wot? We're fucking Labour we are so fuck off. Yeah? Fink you're hard do you? Well you are just toff wimps aintcha? So we are goin' to keep all ve power and use it just as we like so do yourselves a favour and fuck off. So wot, so wot, so wot"
Yeah, whatever.
I have to believe Cameron when he said he heard "so what" (I couldn't after several runs through), but the only video of Balls is after the ad lib when he is asserting he said "so weak".
Hansard is not so much a trusted document now, various 'edits' including recent removal of 'bollocks' response from Lab front bench re troops complaining about kit.
Can the non-broadcast shots be accessed?. Surely FoI applies.
Let's see Blinky and the Dysfunctionals spin their way out of this one.
Arrogant bastard...
the anti nowhere league song has never been so relevant:
http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/antinowhereleague/sowhat.html
One of your earlier posters echoed a thought of mine that it was a "Ratner" moment.This will be a shot to be kept in the locker against Balls for the rest of his career.That he has already nobbled Hansard suggests that he has some idea of the weight of the personal clanger he has dropped.
Ingsoc dictates that Balls said "So Weak" and not "So What".
History has been rewritten in the interests of The Truth.
Cameron, in the prime of life clearly cannot hear properly.
Now here's an interesting one. I was going to post a link to the memorable Brillo interview with 'Scratcher' Balls at the Labour Party conference - but suddenly IT DOESN'T WORK.
Every other Brillo interview that day (La Smith, La Jowell, La Millipede etc) comes through like a dose of salts, but mysteriously the Beeb clip of Scratcher's pummelling is dead.
Just to remind you, it was the quintessential moment when Brillo had Balls squirming like a worm on a hotplate over the government's education record, exposing him as the cunt he really is.
See if you can make it work:

From today's Mail:
And now it has emerged that he and his wife, who are dubbed Labour's "golden couple", receive more than £580,000 a year.
Cabinet ministers each earn £137,579 each, rising to £138,724 when MPs get their pay rise.
They also have access to Westminster's gold-plated pension scheme and the use of official government cars, as well as subsidised travel perks available to all MPs.
Expenses and allowances come in on top of that.
The most recent figures show the couple claimed £307,734 in allowances for 2006-7.
Didn't Darling talk about 25year fixed-rate mortgages in the last budget too?Now we have yet another review.Labour can fart but it can't sh+t seemingly.
@ Anonymous 9:55 AM
"He said "so weak", check hansard idiots."
No, that's what he now says he said, and after Hansard's 'inability' to record other comments why should we believe its record of events? Hansard is due to be taken over by the RNID very shortly.
Let's see Balls challenge Cameron's comment outside of Parliament, then.
@ Bogeyman
Works in 'Stand Alone' player for me, but not in BBC Player (sabotage, maybe?).
Chaps and chapesses, they don't fucking care what we think, or what we do at 'election' time if we 'vote them out' as each one of the slugs will follow the slime trail left by Kinnock, Mandy etc etc to the holy grail of political pig troughs known as the EU.
As long as we are in that fucked up soviet-style politicial construct the cunts have a gold plated position waiting for them no matter what damage they do to their home country - in fact, being the self serving fuck pigs they are, they know that at the point of entry into the local government formerly known as HM Gov.
The cunts a wanker.
£350 a year better off next year than this.
Added to the £400 I'm saving with the Oyster card system, currently, I'm making money with Labour.
NuLab trolls can spin it as much as they like as "So weak,So wet or as they get more desperate Swot" I was watching it live on BBC Parliament and the mike definitely picked up "So what !" Hansard can print what it likes too - I know what I heard and so do thousands of other people who were listening.
The Badger's budget speech was an absolute disgrace. Lie heaped on lie.
First we have the "golden rule" bollocks. That's the rule whereby the government permits itself to spend up to 40% of GDP more than it earns as long as it is for "investment".
Now an "investment" is something that pays back more money after a period of time than the original amount invested. An investment of £40bn that returned £50bn after five years might be a good investment, an investment that returned £40bn after 5 years a poor investment, and an investment that returned nothing would be a failed investment.
The chanceelor tells us that the "investment" was in new schools and hospitals. Now, forgetting for the moment that the new schools and hospitals have been paid for using PFI which doesn't come under the governments "investment" budget, just how exactly is a hospital or a school going to return more money than was paid in? Surely this is a failed investment? This is not a matter of being pedantic. The "golden rule" only made any sense if the reality was that the investment would pay for itself! If not then of course the debt would always have been expected to grow and the "golden rule" was always meaningless - which we know it was of course.
The second issue where Badger was misleading was over the issue of the total budget deficit. Smaller than Japan and the US apparently. Shame both of these are basket cases then, with Japan already having been in recession for 17 years and with things getting worse! Any fool knows this so one can only presume that the Badger knows that Labour's core vote is made up almost entirely of imbeciles and was keen to take full advantage of this. Cynical beyond belief and surely a disgrace to the democratic process. What price one man one vote now?
I wonder what his father thinks of him. It's certainly an unfortunate choice of surname.
Do you think they look alike?

Well done Guido! The sad thing is, he won't be losing any sleep over it unlike the millions of people in the country who are struggling to keep their heads above the financial waters.
'So What' sounded so much like a fart that Cameron and Hansard could easily have been mistaken. Imagine the everlasting pages had the entry; Balls Farted. Most honest utterance he has made since being elected.
Ah! So it does, Unsworth. Why should this be? All the others work normally - La Blears, La Jowell, Le Hutton, Le Burnham, La Smith, La La Millipede, Al-Campbell and La Kinnock.
Perhaps we read too much into this, but it's still worth watching Bollox for his vapid "world class education for all", "focussed on delivery" and "evwy child a weeder, evwy child a wighter" plus his monstrous claim that more parents are now sending their children to private schools because they couldn't afford it under the Tories.
Total shit, all of it.
Goverment borrowing up 43.33%
--------------------------------------------
This time last year, when Gordon Brown delivered his final budget, he said the government would borrow £30bn during 2008/09 – the coming fiscal year.
Yesterday, the Chancellor jacked up next year’s debt burden even more - confirming the UK’s 08/09 borrowing total will, in fact, be £43bn.
In other words, in just 12 months, the government’s borrowing estimate for next year has increased by no less than £13bn – a jaw-dropping 43 per cent.
There is also a statement buried deep in the notes, (like much of the bad news), which means that if the tax authorities are not satisfied with the position concerning an individual, they can require third parties to provide information on the unfortunate individual. There is going to be a criminal offence of destroying or concealing records.
I wonder why?
So it seems that now they reckon they’re in the clear, they can impose pressure on all the people to inform, whether they like it or not.

If there is any film footage of his original comment (not the later mouthings), computer software can confirm what was said:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/11/22/nhitler22.xml
There once was a time when this country produced great politicians and statesmen. Men of great distinction much admired and respected throughout the whole world. Men of great learning and understanding, Men of honour who put monarch and country before self, Men who would sooner fall on their sword than face the humiliation and shame of a public scandal.
Now all we have is a scurrilous bunch of conniving thieves and sycophantic vagabonds whose only real purpose in life is self, self, self. Who although from different political ideals will all stand together when faced with the embarrassing truths about their avarice, Who are willing to surrender this country to Europe not for the collective good but once again long term self interest and the interest of spouses and offspring.
The really sad thing about all this is this is now considered the norm, so a revolution in the poll booth will only replace one set of thieves with another only wearing a different coloured rosette. While the proletariat of this counter absorb themselves in the opium of the masses and have astute political debates on smokescreen topics such as 4 * 4s and taxes on carrier bags, the politicos that make the laws and govern this land will continue as they deem fit for us. To quote Joseph Marie de Maistre, “Every country has the government it deserves.” Thank you Guido, you are the light in this politically created darkness.
Guido.
I read that Hansard does not agree that Balls said SO WHAT!!
Yet another case of Hansard changing the truth? Is this another 'Martin Intervention'???
This Government is not going to stop here. They will not offer themselves up for re-election! I fear a National Emergency will keep this lot 'in power' for years to come!
Balls was chief economic adviser to HM Treasury from 1999 to 2004 .
ie he was a civil servant .
But he is HIGHLY political and must have been so during his time as a theoretically apolitical civil servant .
Cause for investigation?

When I worked as an assistant private secretary to a Cabinet Minister (years ago) immediately my minister sat down in the House after a speech or PQs I'd trot along to the Hansard Office and ask to see the type-out of the shorthand writers notes. This was mainly to check that what the min. said was accurately reported (especially, carefully crafted answers to PQs or figures quoted in answers to suplementaries). Since we had the draft speech or draft answers or the briefing with the figures with us to show them the Hansard reporters welcomed the occasional correction we requested. They weren't so happy if we tried to change what looked like an unfortunate slip though we did sometimes try. I can't remember us ever even trying to change a single ad lib comment made from a sitting position like this - and I never remember going to the Hansard Office just to check a single intervention - but times change.
Pinky blinky not so perky.

The Government would be heartily fucked if everyone suddenly stopped paying Council Tax, refused to pay Income Tax and bartered for goods and services so the bastards didn't get any VAT either!

You are quite right. Darling twice used the word "subsidy" to describe putting up the duty on wine less quickly than some other drinks.
Subsidy!!
I think it reflects the kind of double-talk flying around among the out-of-their-depth teenage "consultants" that populate the Treasury these days. All very sharp suited, clean cut and squeaky-voiced. All very loyal to Brown. All very sinister.
But to be fair to Darling, by that stage of his awful "Today" interview (all of seven minutes in) he was clearly shell shocked and struggling. I doubt he really even knew what he was saying.
Imagine him now - tied to a chair, weeping, and with one of Gordon's "close friends" playing the tape to him, over and over again.... poor sod.
This will be Balls-Ups' "Crisis? What crisis?" albatros.
Let's all make sure of that.
The louder they talk of their moral compass, the faster we count our spoons;
The more they talk of stability, the faster we put the women and children on the lifeboats.

Apparently, Maguire was in the toilets, where else? and couldn't quite make out Blinky's words, but IS sure he said "sew what?" - Blinky obviously mistook Dave's comment on the economic stability unravelling or perhaps that Dave thought that Prudence's pettycoat was splitting at the seams, or whatever or something like that.
Why oh why won't some of you come to my blog?
Good to see the main stream press tearing into the smug little cunt. Long may it last.
This is a bit of biog. about him from the days before he had started hitting the pies. Just selected to be an MP in 2004 (elected in 2005) this article ends with -
'How will Brown be without his right-hand man? Balls has been close to Gordon for 10 years. He’s not suddenly going to stop being close to him'.
As he's been there as 'the right-hand man', he will be just as culpable as Brown, Darling and all the other tossers when the time for reckoning comes.
http://www.economicsuk.com/blog/000133.html
Come on there must be some entrepreneurs out there who can slap Blinky's mugshot on a tee shirt emblazoned with his new election winning (I hope not!) catch phrase.
Those foreign casino owners must still be pouring their laundered cash into Labour coffers. Not only was no extra tax applied to gambling but Gordon's promised to flog them the Tote.
What happened to his pledge as a new MP to "listen" - he seemed to forget this yesterday...
Lamp post & piano wire spring to mind.

I want to hear that lying bastard squirm.
I didn't thay that! I thaid it wath thow ot in here, thitting nextht to Gordon my fwend!
Ed Balls definitely had his Gerald Ratner moment. For years people have been going on how clever Brown and Balls are but they are twits. I personally think they are a bunch of wankers
That lady-boy Yvette Cooper (she of the allegedly hairy minge) was on Newsnight with that awful Scots crone, Kirsty Wark, last night, commenting on the budget. She spouted some shite that Gordo had sent round (or perhaps wee Alastair, it was that boring) and then constantly interrupted Phillip Hammond, who’s soft as shite. Even the third guest, Vince Cable, was subdued, presumably in the presence of such female awfulness. What was strange about Cooper (other than her hairstyle, the fact it needed washing, her outfit- a light shade of dog-knob purple, her boots and her accent) was her pop-eyed expression, as if she was on something. I ended up wondering if she was sitting on a dildo, because it was the same eye-bulging glassy stare that some birds get when they take it up the dirtbox. I’m sure she’ll have access to a dildo because carrying that much weight and with that sclerotic complexion it’s a pound to a pinch of shit that Blinky can’t get it up. Perhaps it was the one causing the snot gobbler to wriggle in his seat and grimace earlier - a bit of Jeyes Fluid and it’s good as new.
Remember Heseltine's "Save the prawn" speech on Brown's tour of the City - culminating on who had come up with Labour's odd financial strategy.
The punchline was "It wasn't Brown's - it was Balls".
So, Blinky, who ate all the prawns ?
Yvette Cooper was that idiot who came up with the idea of HIPS which 80% of house buyers don’t even look at. I wonder if it was ED Balls idea originally. They tax you and then they force you to spend your money on something useless

times do change - I can remember Simon Hoggart praising the creative skills of the Hansard team in rendering Prezza-speak intelligible so they clearly don't report verbatim any more.
Ed Balls is, and always has been, a damaging influence in politics. He personifies the stereotype that people have of him as being someone who is in it for himself and not concerned with ordinary voters. We all have to earn money, pay taxes and get depressed when looking at our pay slip each month and seeing just how much we have to hand over to the government.
Ed Balls doesn’t need to worry about this. He works, and always has worked, in the public sector. He has a plush position given to him by Gordon Brown which nets him £137,579 plus all the allowances and expenses this job brings. He literally has to buy nothing. He even gets a great big whack of money to subsidise his ‘second home’ in London, despite the fact that he lives there with his wife and sends his kids to the local school!
His aptitude as a local MP is derisory. When I was a councillor I lost count of the number of distressed constituents I listened to who had not even been contacted by their MP when they asked him for help. I have encountered many honourable and hardworking Labour MPs, yet they are being let down, as all politicians are across the country, by people like Balls who are not really interested in their constituents but rather the blinkered pursuit of power.
Anon 3.53 - prat.
If you look at the numbers it is the low paid and the middle classes (i.e. anybody that goes to work for a living) that are squeaking.
Haven't you realised yet the Labour Socialsim is designed to make the politicians richer and to do that they make the rich richer?
It is the most deceitful hypocritical political philosophy known to man.
Balls, the face of the politicised civil service (nothing civil about them and f**k all service). Looks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, smells like a Nazi. The New Labour Goring to Brown's Hitler. The Fat One. Der Dicke.
You can strut about in your mental bunker, point and scream at your strategy maps, but we're coming for you. We are already in the suburbs, blowing down your fantasy castles, letting the hot PC air out of your ideological tires, exposing your lies, closing in.

"So what? - why, let them eat cake"
Famous last words which involved a tumbril and a man with a sharp blade.
Back on point, with all these tax free perqs has anyone worked out what the actual rate of tax MPs pay vs. the rest of the population on the same gross income? Perhaps this is why he cares not one jot.
Tax gone up on Booze? So what.
Paying more council tax? So what.
Are you mired in red tape running a small business? So what.

Tuscan Tony - when you take into account the tax-free allowances, taxfree booze, subsidised food - (what am I saying, subsidised everything), free travel, junkets, wall to wall secretaries for croquet or whatever, I have been struggling to find much the cunts actually have to pay for themselves with their own after-tax income.
I reckon they pay 10% of what the poor bastards who pay them get stung for in real terms, but I feel sure an economist could work it out.
Thieving bastards.
