When Think Tanks Collide : CPS and Reform Clash Tonight
Guido gets invited to the occasional think tank bash and when in London generally goes to the ones with the best booze (full marks to the Adam Smith Institute - up market beers and champagne).Not sure what the booze situation is tonight in Westminster for the Centre for Policy Studies seminar on Politics, Policy and the Internet, the invitation doesn't say. George Osborne is a big Politics 2.0 advocate of the power of the web and he is headlining it along with Tom Steinberg.
At exactly the same time over at Bloomberg's offices in the City, Jeremy Hunt, the DCMS Shadow, is talking about the New Media Politics Revolution. Booze is clearly highlighted on the invite.
Decisions, decisions...

You will be a better man for going to none of them.
Always take Bloomberg. More booze, better nibbles.
One must ask. Will there be any decent totty?
Does free Booze actually work? In my case I am more inclined to publish and be damned when well oiled.
Free furnished houses exempt of capital gains would be a different thing mind.
Ohh...err... for one minute I thought CPS meant "Crown Prosecution Service"
Waste of time Guido!
You should have spent your time this weekend hanging around an overpriced "country house" hotel in deepest, darkest County Durham. Oh how the tongues wagged, particularly the big bumbling guy with the gargantuan appetite.
And those four cunts on the £343 dine and go tickets, 1st class Newcastle/Kings Cross 13:00 today - how their tongues did wag in turn!
Message for Gordon - if you want loyalty in politics buy a dog!
You might at least turn off moderation while you're pissing it up with the nobs, Guido. Some of us have work to do.
A speech of Churchillian proportions from Boris today:

Is he destined for higher things than Leninslime's replacement?
I hope this doesn't mean you will get corrupted by these gits.
"I say, Guido old chap, go a bit easy on that story about X. We've got a do with some lovely free booze next week, which I'd adore to invite you to, but I couldn't if old X was upset. Get my drift?"
Depends which has the better booze.
What was that Labour MPs said about wanting to take accounts out at the people's bank?
You're sounding like a true Paddy. Well done.
(Oh, and that wasn't polite - in case you were wondering).

"Devil's Kitchen said... Well, your humble Devil will be at the Reform bash..."
'e woz 'n all.
i like it guidos new politico rating system
red circle with line across diagonal and kid throwing up image in middle (i dont have graphics capability or ability)
or an image of a brain graduating in damage.
good old scots socialists at a labour party meeting jimmy sherridan said "that mps who oppose govt policy should be injected with rabies"
easy mistake there jimmy to confuse labour mps needing an antidote to the infection of rabies marxist madness that is in the cabinet and actually giving it to them , it would be just be an overspend wouldnt it.
Just get begging email off George Showbiz Socialist Galloway. Honest. Not invent. Is below. George wants money off ordinary bloke so he can go in London Assembly and do shake about.
This jock cunt already get wages and exes of hundred, two hundred grands. Get quarter mill off Trannygraph in damages; get seventy, hundred grand off Big Brother for little bit of revolting fetish granny porn with old bag, Lenska, off Minder. Galloway gets further salary from radio programme and fees from newspaper columns and also a grand and free dinner and piss-up and train ticket off Dimblebys for Any Questions and Question Times rubbish. Suppose even a few people cough up for shit Galloway book, Not The Only Cunt. Get free dinners down Westminster and telly, household goods off John Lewis and mortgage and free travel and stamps and subsidised booze and the cunt wants plumber and old age pensioner and poor Somali car valet to send him more money. Beardy Cunt.
Galloway's constituency is the poor, the unemployed, the outsider and rather than sell his Portuguese pad to fund his democratic visions, he would have the pennies from their pockets. What an obnoxious, vain, unspeakable, shameless fucking arsehole this bloke is. No wonder his wives leave him, no wonder he can only live with his life refracted through the press and the telly.
Galloway recently claimed that Gorbals Mick milking the taxpayer didn't matter because he was the first Roman Catholic Speaker ever; there, sweet as a nut, is Galloway's
philosophy; rant, piously, as he may about Blair and Iraq, his own, demonstrated, ethics and morality are, simply: whatever he can get away with, is ok. Please email support to him in a language he will understand. office@respectrenewal.org

Dear friend,
I want to personally inform you that I am standing for election to
the London Assembly on 1st May 2008 and to ask for your help.
The assembly is meant to be London's government but virtually no-one
has ever heard of any body in it. I want to change that.
Having shaken up the US Senate, with your help, I can do the same in
City Hall.
How can you help?
1) My election campaign urgently needs funds. Please, donate as much
as you can to the George Galloway Election Fund.
Please make cheques payable to "George Galloway Election Fund" with
your name and address on the back, so we can send you a receipt, and
send it to: George Galloway Election Fund, PO Box 1109, London, N4
2UU.
If it's easier, you can transfer funds to the following:
Account Name: George Galloway Election Fund
Account Number: 00 86 45 38
Sort Code: 30 90 47
2) I need your help in the campaign. If you can help us leaflet,
canvass, come aboard our battle bus, raise our profile online, help
in the office or organise a group for us to speak to, then please
contact us on 0871 234 1696 or 07507 600 561 or just reply to this
email.
3) Please give me your vote on 1st May. Vote Respect (George
Galloway) to shake up the London Assembly.
4) Please tell your friends I'm standing. Forward this email as
widely as you can!
I hope to see you on the campaign trail.
We'll have an energetic and fun campaign. I hope you can be a part of
it. In any case, I'll keep you up to date with regular email
bulletins.
Best Wishes,
George Galloway MP
Was the Reform bash any good?
Were all the waiting staff foreign?
Your mate Tom Watson was doing his own think-tank speech about the Internet last night. He's written all about it on his blog.
So you've been to the ASI dos. I hope they equipped you with a bull-whip to clear the 'undeserving-poor' out of your way when you left the place.
