The whole lot should be arrested for the criminal damage they've done to our country!!!
Perhaps gordon phoned him and offered him a job and it seemed the principled thing to do.
I live locally though my MP is that other clown purchase.He is a waste of space and obviously a nutter.
Guido, they are all Honourable Persons (self defined) and therefore above the law and above and beyond any sans culottes only ; tax assessmentso why this arrest?
On The Guardians CIF, there is an interesting piece about a POLISH Pope outshining our illustrious PM, in the good old U.S. of A.
Whatever the readers of Auto-Trader Magazine pay these people, it is far too much.
Well if I understand the local newspaper correctly, he's a lumberjack and he's OK...
I know some other people who are facing arrest.
mm interesting
ime a lumberjack and ime ok , i sleep all night and i work all day.
on wednedays i go van jumping and have parlimentary scones for tea .
police transcript/notes
"upon interviewing the alleged perputrator of the van jumping incident known as rob marris , the arresting officer was subject to an audio assault of boring EU legislation of the lisbon treaty .. after hours of irrevelant verbage without even an admission what he had been saying was utter shit , the police man felt he had a life to get to on with and released him subject to further questioning .
as for not guilty plea , that would be a very foolish thing indeed, for a barrister to commit perjury . funny line to take rob if you ask me , much better to use "i an emotional and absentminded moment i forgot etc etc" or that "i hadnt realised that benlyn had that effect"
Blimey - according to the article he actually was a real lumberjack! I took Teesbridge's comment to mean he wore high heels, suspenders, and a bra, dressed up in women's clothing and hung around in bars. Well, he is an MP after all...
Truly bizarre !
It's a van-man thing!
Politicians of all parties should call for an immediate inquiry, that will, without any cross-party interference, enquire into the exact circumstances of the influence that lumberjacking had over this man of outstanding character, and the extent to which it demonstrably threatens our national security and substantiates the need to have 24/7 surveillance of all our citizens lives. "Today, a bus, tomorrow another public service vehicle", said a servile Government twat, "we can't allow MPs to go around in public showing that they're bothered about something."
my money is on 'not in the public interest' to take it any further.
ROBERT PESTON BBC said today,
''What I have learned is that:
1) Royal Bank will ask its shareholders for around £10bn, equivalent to a bit less than a third of the bank's current market value.''
RBS market value at tonights close is £109.535 billion.
Another BBC expert.
was he arrested under anti terror legislation? It seems the fashion.
I'm grasping for a phrase,
Pot kettle?
People in glass houses?
Help me out here!
I thought Marris's leader was in the US. On BBC London news just now, street interviews were being conducted as to what the smell that has been blown into the UK on prevailing easterly winds was like. One woman said 'soiled nappies'.
Marris - what a complete spud!!
Scraping the barrel, Guido.

In defence of R. Peston the RBS mk cap today is about £37bn.
You can take the man out of the bus depot, but you can't take the bus depot out of the man.
Hang on. When did he drive a bus?
One minute he's a lumberjack and he's OK. Then he's a scholar and then he's soliciting.
So when did he become the bus driver from hell?
I think we should be told.
You'll find that Guido has been scraping barrels for 406 years.
Oi GUIDo get yer 'ead out of the Cheval Blanc and give us a lead on Brown's astounding £50 Billion hire purchase of the clearing bank's chocolate teapot collection
Not the least nauseating aspect of which is that the boufanted tartan turd who exudes damp authority over the TSC opining to Emily Clueless that it was a done deal BEFORE Brown climbed into the Cesna Citation and departed to the States
Mcavity strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!
So far this year I've lent Northern Crock £2,000.00 and now I've bunged the banks another £1,000.00.Not much sign of a credit crunch where the taxpayers concerned.
Also nice technical swerve so that it doesn't go onto PSBR
Says Colonel Madd
His friends will get him off.
A criminal accent damaging my soft-southern ear-drums.
Good for him. The van was blocking the bus stop.
He could only have done better if he's dynamited the van and lynched the driver.
Top man.
Was he tired and emotional as a newt?
Brings a new meaning to curb crawling.
There'd have been nothing wrong with that gunpowder if you hadn't spilled your wine in it. Again.
4 more Mps need a talking to Gordon..

Nice one Guido. Stick a fork in his arse, turn him over, he's done!

Every little bit helps?
So our "Detectives" have the time to investigate this kind of thing ?
Obviously not much serious crime or torrism in West Midlands.
Presumably the owner of the van asked for a prosecution ? Wait for him to be leaned on.
"People watched in astonishment as a man climbed over a parked van to board a bus in Jeffcock Road, Penn Fields, last month."
Mind you, that'll teach that git to park at a bus stop again!
But seriously, you'd have thought he could have waved/shouted to attract the bus driver's attention, and got the bus driver's attention to pull in just before the van?
Why dramatically clamber over the bonnet of the van? Proving a point, perhaps?
Quite an expensive way to do it.
"This is a personal matter which has no bearing on my Parliamentary duties."
Well, actually, mate, you are wrong. We can't have MPs doing what they want, when they want.
Next thing you know, some of them might start fiddling their expenses and the like!
Harriet Harman said on Question Time that we need even more diversity to succeed in the global economy. Does China, Japan, etc., need to be multicultural to succeed? No, just European countries it seems. Get the stab-proof vests on.

Far be it from me to agree with somebody north of the water but Tyke's right.
The soon-to-be-ex MP should have kicked in the windscreen. Especially if the driver was still there.
I think you owe that man an apology Guido, seems to me he was perfectly justified in doing what he did.
If it had been me, I'd have kicked the bastard's headlights in.
Gordon Brown should be sectioned
The Labour leader has been hit by allegations that his behaviour has caused increasing concern among his close political allies and advisers. Some reports suggested that he has suffered wild mood swings, uncontrollable rages and sulks. He is said to be engulfed in depression and refuses to make eye contact with those he considers his enemies. There have been stories of him shouting abuse at colleagues and kicking over furniture.
Anonymous 7.05am:
IIRC noises were made a couple of years ago by creatures such as the US-based Anti-Defamation League that the Japs should go multi-cultural (ie multi-racial - the fact that it has to be coded tells you how pernicious this crap is) but they appear to have too much sense, and/or their political class too much sense of shared fate with their countrymen, to listen to such shite.
Mind you, I gather the Japs were happy to press for the ending of the White Australia policy (?) surely a case of encouraging a rival to harm itself.
I must say, Gordon's trip to the US is going well.

Please someone tell me Gary never really wrote that shit and someone is sending him up?
BNP members dressed as muslims,
where does he get this shit?
Notice he didnt mention dentists and poor people pulling their own teeth out and using super glue on fillings!
Gary Elsby ROTFLMAO [8.54]
Certainly sounds like the same Gary Elsby who occasionally graces this Blog with his pearls of wisdom. I love the line "If you disagree with my politics, then vote for me as a local person..." Why the *** would you vote for someone whose politics you disagreed with? An even more amusing line from his rant about school closures in the area is the one that says "There are more Labour members who oppose these plans, than there are other political parties and members combined." If labour is indeed the biggest party on the Council and have a majority over all the opposing members combined, why is the closure programme going ahead? Anyway, here's to the future Cllr. Gary Elsby - Stoke's gain is Guido's loss...
An MP will clamber over anything to get on the bus.
Van blocks bus stop. Man climbs over van to get to bus. Police arrest man.
Typcial. How about:
Police tow away van. Man can board bus normally.
Not that I am excusing the MP or anything, but it is a bit like the couple having sex in a train carriage and people only complain about their smoking when they light up afterwards.
Typically yobbish behaviour from ZanuLab - we can look forward to his ASBO anyday now? Or an instant fine maybe? Or the case dropped....
Since when does an illegally parked vehicle outrank a citizen?
Even if he IS an MP!
Seriously, you've never done something like that? The dude deserves an award, not an arrest. If more people had his gumption (yes, colonials say "gumption" even in mixed company) the world would be a better place.
Except for assoholic van drivers.
Fragment from cache as the original blog seems to have vanished.

Rob Marris
19th February 2008
Sir Ronnie Flanagan recently published his independent Review of Policing in England and Wales. He makes a compelling case for radical changes that could free up the equivalent of 3,500 additional police officers.
This is music to my ears. The majority of police work hard, but all too often they do not work smart. This is because, to avoid political interference in policing, we have ended up with police forces which, as organisations, on occasion do not get their act together. That lack of organisation is compounded by some of the forms and systems which the politicians do ask the police to use. Balancing public accountability with police independence is tricky, but the police must organise themselves better.
Not critical of the police from that extract; it says the police resist political pressure. However, it is peculiar that the van-clambering incident came to police attention at all; the instinct of most van drivers would be to swear and do nothing else as it would mean more pfaffing about.
So who called the cops, and why didn't they settle for talking sternly to all concerned? Curiously, Marris made the point in 2005 that the State tends to suffer from mission-creep.(He was talking about the Prevention of Terrorism Act, though). The state passes laws meant to deal with a serious crime and ends up using the process, as apparently in this case, to take issue with someone trying to get on a bus - a thing they are ordinarily entitled to do without being hindered.
Yet Marris is proud of the government's record on law and order in Wolverhampton. On his website he writes:
"Police National Figures show crime down 30 per cent overall. Burglaries are down 42 per cent, and violent crime down 26 per cent. Your chance of being a victim of crime is the lowest for 20 years. In the West Midlands police force area, the number of police officers increased by 774 since 1997. The total number of police officers in West Midlands police force area now stands at 7,887."
Anyone who has dealt with the police recently will verify that if there is one thing they do not wish to do, it is to list something as a crime if it can possibly be avoided. So, if you fail to ask for a crime record number for insurance purposes you may find yourself being given an 'incident number' which doesn't count for statistical purposes. If your bag or wallet is stolen you will be asked pointedly if you are absolutely sure you didn't just lose it - which also doesn't count for statistical purposes. Fair enough, but it puts the onus on the complainant to prove that their bag didn't run away to join the circus and that their windscreen wasn't smashed by a tiny meteorite.
Either there is more to this incident than meets the eye, or Marris is right about one thing - the police don't work smart.
Non story on a slack news day
Hardly Heseltine swing the mace or Johnathan Aitkin being sent down.
Good on the New Labour git I am sick of people parking illegally in bus lanes. My guess is this will be thrown out by the bench.
This story can't be true. I mean - an MP on a bus? Without a TV camera to film him being "normal"?
so, let's get this right. new labour police targets led to a person with down's syndrome being arrested for pushing someone.
rob marris MP intentionally vandalises and is witnessed to criminally damage a motor vehicle but intends to plead not guilty.
not only is rob marris a vandal he is also a fucking liar.
what a criminal lout you are marris.
a perfect example of the criminal standards of the new labour war and tax party that will cause even more votes to be poured down the drain.
well done rob!
OT, but has anyone noticed on the TV crime progs an increasing number of offenders getting "de-arrested" (often "beer" offences). Is this a new invention - I'd never heard of "de-arrested" before, any idea what it means and how widespread?
Today, a van. Tomorrow, some poor old chap in his mobility scooter.
A lack of common sense prevails here, methinks.
Argh, fuck it. He's NuLabour, so hang him.
Gary Elsby is his own election agent. Odd, that. Labour normally has someone knowledgeable and helpful to stand as your election agent. Is the Stoke Labour Party short of volunteers? Or were they short of volunteers willing ot act as Gary's agent?

In response to the "van drivers are bastards" type comments... it COULD be that the van had a quite legitimate reason to be where it was, such as breaking down, the driver assisting an old lady that had fallen over, or delivering a new kidney for a dying child, etc.
The law of this land is quite simple - don't vandalise other peoples property. Walk AROUND the van to get to the bus, and note the registration if you're that bothered.
Disgracful behaviour from marris, though methinks this bent government will "fix it" for him.

People waiting at the bus stop said there was no legitimate reason for the van to block the bus stop. He did so simply because it was convenient for him and he refused to move when asked by several people to do so.
