Downing Street Forces Purnell to Sack Adviser
Whatever the spin being put on this, the truth is that the Brownies do not want to hear criticism. Particularly when the criticism comes from media favourite James Purnell's speech writer (who was once Blair's speech writer).Phil Collins has written in this month's Prospect Magazine a wonky piece which can be summarised roughly as Brown is crap, Cameron is right. How did the man who after the local elections said he was "listening and would learn from [his] mistakes" react? Gordon and the Brownies went berserk.
Purnell has been forced to sack his speech writer.
The line coming out that Purnell has not sacked Collins, he just now has a civil service speech writer, is of course bollocks. Civil servants don't write party political speeches. This is the spin from the same people who you may remember insisted that David Pitt-Watson was taking up the General Secretary position and contrary stories from Guido et al were wrong. Just a "few contractual wrinkles" to sort out they claimed. They subsequently admitted we were right and by implication they had lied shamelessly to their chosen interlocutor - Ben Brogan. This is what they do. Lie unattributably. Paul Waugh is their more sceptical chosen interlocutor this time....

A young man named Gordon bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100.00.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day, but when the farmer drove up he said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news... the donkey is on my truck, but unfortunately he's dead.
Gordon replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "I can't do that, because I've spent it already.
Gordon said, "OK then, well just unload the donkey anyway.
The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?"
Gordon answered, "I'm going to raffle him off."
To which the farmer exclaimed, "Surely you can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
But Gordon, with a wicked smile on his face said, "Of course I can, I just won't bother to tell anybody that he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Gordon said, "I raffled him off, sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a huge, fat profit!!"
Totally amazed, the farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?"
To which Gordon replied, "The only guy who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his £2 raffle ticket money back plus an extra £200, which as you know is double the going rate for a donkey, so he thought I was great guy!!
Gordon grew up and eventually became the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then Prime Minister as and no matter how many times he lied, or how much money he stole from the British voters, as long as he gave them back some of the stolen money, most of them, unfortunately, still thought he was a great guy.
The moral of this story is that, if you think Gordon is about to play fair and do something for the everyday people of the country for once in his miserable, lying life, think again my friend, because you'll be better off flogging a dead donkey.
Read the article - He is now only talking partial bollocks. Nearly there sunshine, just a few more steps...
the infantile, bully-boy bullshitter strikes again!
note to brown: well done! you are, without any doubt, the biggest spastic in england.
now do the country a favour and fuck off you cunt.
Just read this on CIF sums it up perfectly
"Thatcher was bad, but this is worse, and myself and my peers are all being taxed beyond our means, whilst we watch scum like Gorbals Mick troughing like pigs on our money."
I agree with Lola.
This should be ideal stuff for NuLab, but McBean is in the bunker, quoting battalions of Tractor stats to Balls....
The fall of the NuLab Empire.
They'll write books about it don'tcha know!
Anon 5.52 - spot on.
Farmer Gordon receives a windfall from selling a load of gold he found in a vault.
"I will spend the money on a brand new cart. It will be bigger and I can transport twice as many potatoes to the market."
A friend says" Are you sure. firstly, how do you know you will have twice as many potatoes? Your old cart does need some work to be sure. But your two donkeys are also quite old. Don't invest all your money in a new cart. Why not put some aside, just in case."
But Farmer Gordon spent all the money, and even borrowed a bit more, for a brand new cart.
A few weeks later the friend saw farmer Gordon sitting in his cart in the road. One of Donkeys that pulled the cart had died.
The friend tried to advise him.
"Cut the dead Donkey loose and proceed"
Farmer Gordon explained that the cart was now too heavy for one donkey to pull on its own.
"Well just go to the nearer market. Its not too far. The Donkey may just make it. Then with the profits buy another donkey. "
But I don't make nearly as much there. At best I would make a small loss. Plus the cost of another donkey will be too much for me.
"Then unload some of the potatoes. The lighter load can make the further market"
But someone will steal the ones I leave here. it will not be worth it.
"Go to the nearer market, sell enough to lighten the load, then go to the far market and sell the rest there."
But I will still lose out.Even if I
could borrow enough to buy another donkey, I still owe for the cart. I won't make a penny this year, and probably not next either.. oh woe is me.
"well, you dithering twat, what can you do? Sit here crying about the mess you have made all by yourself?"
No said Farmer Gordon. I will blame this situation on the Tories I inherited the farm from in 1997.
Gordon won't listen to bad news.
Gordon won't listen to good advice.
He's damaging the Party.
He's damaging the Country.
The party is going to lose the next GE Big Time as long as Gordon leads.
This is a question of survival.
Isn't there anybody with enough guts to simply dump the moron out of the window of number 10?
Or do you all share the same delusion.
That doggy tosser Keigth Vaz has just been on channel 4 news saying that all political partys are stuggling to raise funds at the moment. Ha ha! No just you labour wankers, You bunch of bent soon to be bankrupt trot cunts!!!!!!
Why are MPs allowed to employ, spin doctors, PR merchants, media experts and so on, all at the public expense?
It is high time we went back to making these public servants tell us just what they are doing on our behalf, face to face, eyeball to eyeball.
DUMP THE PR at the Public expense.
Brown, his wife and his brothers are now running the country. Brown is doing a Mugabe on England.
it's another no show from the bnp spastics. the white bigot scum won't come near when they know I'm around. they're afraid of me you see.
These liars are low sub-humans infesting everything Labour is and does. Pest control should be brought in to exterminate them.
Are you listening Cameron? This would make you very different.

Before we get sympathetic about Purnell let's rmemeber he organised the auction of the Hutton Report with its details of Dr. Kelly's death and signed by Mrs. Blair and Campbell.
Rememer the doctored photos too.
thick shit thieves said...
Utter bollocks as per usual. Thick cunt thieves, you are Gobshite Brown and I claim my 20% diesel rebate. Now fuck off you cunt!
I liked the story about the donkey, I have a question which relates to Public (IE Govt) borrowing.
Why does the Govt Print Bonds that it then sells to the International Bankers offering them 5% Interest.
when it could simply Priont Money and put that into the econoimy.
Why Print Bonds (which carry an interest charge to us)
When gordon could simply Print Money and issue that into the economy.
The reason I ask is because it appears that ultimately Our Money system has been subverted.
three hundred yrs ago, King whatsisname needed money for a war, the International bankers said if you Pass the proceeds of taxation to us, we will print all the money you want us to.

Ps, you may have noticed this site no longer works,
http://www.eutruth.org.uk
The owner of this site (David Noakes ) tells me he is being sued by a Billionaire ( Bilderberger ) and has had the site shut down.
He also says that he is unabe to do anything more, that he cannot see any way of stopping the Abolition of Britain and our being forced into a Brutal EU Dictatorship no doubt aided by
food and fuel shortages being caused by the Global Elite deliberately Manipulating the price of food and fuel commodoties.
Starve them into submission.
Apparently Brown rang Purnell and said 'Either Collins goes or I do'.
Nice Arse
gibberish still in fashion ??
liberalise or die ?? can we have referendum on that one !
the red despot spotter is considering a new book titled "the last days in the bunker" in which deep in bunker the PM pours over NOS figs and makes decisions based on computated outputs , he istructs that any back benchers bringing anything other that tales of victory will be shot .
peter carter now on parmanent class one pharmaceuticles , alternates between heel click salutes and obsessive gun cleaning , "it will work mien prime minister , it will work we ave time on our side , the tories cannot possibly mount a full attack untill summer 2010 by which time the people will rally to our glorious leaders state benefits culture , the ecnomic blitzscrege a success with no money for anyone"
GB do you think so peter , i have waited so long , to lead our nation to a future free from oppression .
peter carter :free from oppression ??, you never mentioned that before, got any petrol and a shovell gordon , i just fancy a bit of fresh air .
Gb petrol at this price , you have to be kidding ,if you want a fire use some of the millibands used dried bed pans for fuel, theyve been knocking loads out recently on there promotion bid .
PC : ive just written my memoirs
Gb:if you think it will help use them on the fire as well !!
An interesting story Guido. Good points. Another self inflicted nail in the Brown coffin.
But have you looked behind you lately? Still never mind, as long as it brings the advertising revenue in.
He wasn't fired, just cloned out using Photoshop.

Brown is staring into the abyss. A yougov poll in tomorrow's Telegraph shows that the Tories are on twice the support of Labour:
Conservative 47%
Labour 23%
Lib Dem 18%
Brown will be gone before the autumn and will go down in history as the worst PM in history.
NEW POLL.....
Labour: Gordon Brown support slumps to its lowest since polling began

I like the donkey stories too. Couldn't we get a donkey to be PM? They didn't do so bad in WW1. Got to be better than this fucking worthless shower of demented shagsacks.
Please dont get rid of our Gordon he's such a nice guy; he phoned me at six o'clock this morning and I told him what fun you could have with a gerbil.
He thought it was very interesting that Richard Gere also had one, and wondered where he could get a tame one too!
He did stop talking for a minute and I heard some scratching down the line, and then a clunk of something followed by a swallow and then a belch. He told me he had found a new snacking technique for PMQ's, but then the pips went.
Toodle oo!
A former Tory councillor who branded all gay people paedophiles has been found guilty of bringing his position into disrepute.
The Standards Board for England made the announcement following their investigation into Peter Willows.
After the decision Mr Willows said: "I wonder if the police would have been so eager to prosecute me if I had a brown face."

Why didn't Purnell also get the sack? In your peculiarly written piece you have managed to avoid that elephant in the room.
I suppose you know that Purnell has repeatedly been one of the most expensive MPs in the United Kingdom with expenses in 2004 of more than £120,000.
Some random thoughts. Am too far gone (happily, on decent booze and excellent nosh) for a coherent argument.
1. Vaz is a human-slug chimera.
2. Purnell is a smirking teenager. He has no hope of further advancement; he is now in the best job that he has ever had or ever will have. The only reason that we are not being reminded daily of the hospital photoshop incident is that it is being saved for "special circumstances".
3. Brown is a basket case. The reason GB won't go is that he knows he is the worst PM ever and the worst Labour leader ever. When he leaves, he knows people will creep out of the woodwork and describe what he is like to work with in the most nauseating detail. The only way that Brown can delay the unfolding nightmare is to cling to power. I predict he will leave No 10 on a stretcher, subdued by a chemical cosh.
question time tonight was a melee of comments off a order order. picklez' 'ship crashing into shore' stupid vacant 'economist' (you are fucking useless) on 2nd homes being nationalised etc etc.
hope you all check back here because your'e fucking useless and you'll be found out. (especially you economist and war criminal)
breaking news @ 9.31
That would give the Tories a majority of about 250, although probably a bit less because of the SNP. Basically the whole of England bar the northern cities and inner London boroughs, south wales and the posher bits of Scotland
Personally I want a few more percentage points so that we can dump that trotsky slag primarolo too.
Great Question Time. Audience uniformly hostile to flak-catcher Hoon.
Pickles trying not to giggle as he kept thinking of the 24% lead with YouGov tonight.
My video recorder is already set to record Election Night Special 2010. The looks on the faces of these utter bastards when they kicked out is something I will want to watch again, and again, and again.
If anyone does a painting of Brown leaving Downing Street, particularly if it perfectly captures his distraught face, I will buy it and have it on my wall.
More importantly, why do we have to wait until 2010 to sack Brown?
Democracy sometimes leads to long, lingering deaths of governments. Alas.

Sorry Ade, lets get this straight.
Words you can not mention under any circumstances on any well know blog for reasons you yourself it seems are becoming aware of.
Bilberberger being one of them, add also:
Rothschild
CFR
RIFA
Common Purpose
Conspiracy
New World Order
Freemasonry
Establishment
Neo-Fascism
Chem Trails
Genocide
Council of Rome
Population control
The BBC are in it up to their necks as are the entire MSM and all electable European and American political Parties.
Certainly not a good idea to mention any full names of any Bilderbergers especially. Unless you want to piss off Guido big time and/or get a loud knock on the door at 5 in the morning.
Oh! hang on a second there is someone at the door........Oh dear.
I may be gone for some considerable time, good luck chaps.

on question time the folk of lincoln had clearly had enough , hoon managed quite well until green MEP started on manifesto statement , nervous ticks started .but what puzzled me was why she was so vaugue about gordons leadership problem .
but public are now onto "get the tories to answer setups " it is quite right for the public to know what there elected government (although not elected leader) is doing or are going to do .
the public are being cheated , you could see how they reacted when hoon started spinning , they just hate it and see it as deception , the more gordon goes on the more they question what has been going on over the years .
for hoon to have a veg dodging session is extraordinary , if jonah effect is now onto top of the line blairites , telegraph poles must be spot on .
on election night , suggest new graphics of mushroom cloud to show labour majorities of over 2000 .
i think i will watch it again and again as posted earlier .
they are becoming hated because of the back catalogue of lies and decptions , which are now clear in the publics mind .
will post the red despot spotters future science fiction scary vision of the next two years and beyond in which a largely medicated PM thinks he has been given a special purpose to show us all what democracy is.
its running title is "there is only the labour party the public can eat cake"
Collins (presumably with approval from Purnell) actually said that Brown (coded as Labour) was overly authoritarian, which is why the Party is unpopular.
MacShane said the Party is profligate.
Gisela Stuart said that Brown personally was deceptive.
These three together sum up Brown's failings very well.
In the first poll since last week's Crewe and Nantwich by-election, the YouGov survey puts Labour on 23 points and the Conservatives on 47 - a Tory lead of 24 points.
Look, all this glee over the poll figures is all very well, but are we sure that that if the Tories get in they will be really any better than Nuliebour? Will they face the problems that beset us and take the appropriate action? I am not at all sure that they will.
The culture of benefit dependency is now so entrenched that it may be impossible to stop it. There is a huge industry dependent on it - massess of lobbyist and special interest groups all exist to extract more benefits for their particular constituency, but in effect it works the other way round. The constituency ( e.g. "the poor") exist to give these poeple the oportunity become lobbyists.
Similarly the Roman way of keeping the proles happy - bread and circuses - has morphed into Big Brother and MacDonalds. Will the proletariat really tolerate having all their transfer payments being removed?
Have the Tories the bottle to really get hold of welfarism by the throat and throttle it?
I am not at all sure that they have.
word verification: "ratzyn" Cool!
There is an easy cure for "Special Interest" pleading and an industry of expensive lobbyists and poverty pests. Tell them no loudly and clearly once and then have nothing whatsoever to do with them ever, ever, ever again.
If I go to my accountant and say 'I've got this stunning wheeze to evade tax', he is by law liable for prosecution if he doesn't report me to the authorities, despite the fact I'm paying his bill.
Why shouldn't anyone paid from the public purse, eg civil servants and Spads, be made subject to the same law when dealing with politicians ? Know he's lying, sorry guv, gotta report you !

Excellent point. The answer is... will they fuck be any better than Nuliebour. They will be just as bad. The Police have a saying 'jobs fucked'. I think the people of England can now say 'England's fucked'.
lola, the question is not "will the Tories be any better than Labour?" but rather: "could they possibly be any worse?" The answer to that is clearly no, so let's get Brown and his shower of shite out of power asap before they do any more damage to our country.
Haa! Purnell is ruined..

Hmm.

Stand next to an uglier guy.
Purnell comes out of this with more cred than control freak, Crash Gordon.
Realist, yeah, exactly. My vote has always been cast on the 'least worst option basis - trouble is my MP is Tim Yeo.
"trouble is my MP is Tim Yeo" -- thats tough. But I guess you've got to bite the bullet.
May I suggest Guido that you and your readers visit the blog 'Ironies Too' and then link to the video on his post today a video by Les Jeunes Europeen France
Please watch it and worry about the indoctrination of kids by the EU and the way we are heading. Our friends in Ireland need to see this. You may wish to give it a wider circulation!
It's been confirmed that the police are leaving the thugs and other scumbags to their activities and targetting ordinary, white, law-abiding people instead because we are a soft target and can be taxed to death with their fines.
The Brown government who set these targets for the PC police are now seen clearly as the enemy of the ordinary British people.

Lola-
A very good point. I think the tories will steer the ship on a better path but its still sinking..
Will they have the guts to enact simple and effective measures?
Cut police paperwork
Cut excessive education targets
Cut incapacity benefit numbers
Cut public sector
Cut nhs waste
Cut useless quangos
Cut wasteful spending
basically whoever is in power needs to take a chainsaw to most of new-labours empire of 'initiatives'
I don't expect to hear much about this before the GE as the wonderful electorate might not like the sound of it, but I hope there are one or two true leaders who willdo some smiting once they have the mandate...
fingers crossed.
Warriormonk
You could have added to that list 'Get us the hell out of the EU'.
But we all know that will never happen, no matter who is in 'power'. The EUSSR holds all the real power. It is too late for democracy in Britian.
Let's hope that Cameron is keeping quiet so as not to 'frighten the horses'. Such an agenda of cuts and and 180 degree change in emphasis would give the quangoites and the client state in general the willies.
Personally I think the BBC needs to be privatised for this to work. Their current output is so badly skewed towards a statist agenda that no-one has any real hope of getting what I describe as Anglo Saxon Libertarian Democratic Free Market Capitalism with Compassion, Responsibility and Thrift a fair hearing, or even a modest platform. Educating the masses into some basic philosophy and economics is clearly not being done in schools and the media, aka the BBC, becomes the fount of all the wisdom in this area. My prefernce would be to make a subscrtiption service.
"My prefernce would be to make a subscrtiption service."

How's that use of the ACA going on them THREE properties we're still watching you juggling?
Too bad that you now appear to have lost -right now - around £30 000 on the house in Barrow Hill with the property downturn.
How's your husband 'Just call me Niccolo' Salisbury-Jones doing ? Still proud of writing, 'Beating the Liberals, Lessons from Lambeth?'
What are you gonna do Natascha as you watch the implosion of the NuLab brand (and everything your ego hung its hopes and dreams on)?
Plenty of vet business we hope - you're going to need it ;-) Your husband may be able to employ you as a receptionist, perhaps. LOL
(BTW Guido, thanks for encouraging us to go dig a little deeper and find out what's going off with our MPs through the Land Registry [and other stuff besides])

Jonny boy that's the fooking fun of it. Watching the useless NuLab twats wriggle and squirm to OUR hearts content.
We are witnessing the end game in a scheismic shift in power back to the right wing.
Britain will be rid of the vacuous, self-serving, hypocritical tractor counters that is called the Labour Government.
After witnessing a decade of these smug bastards fucking our country up, it is an absolute pleasure to watch their slow, painful demise.
The hordes are after them now. There will be riots on our streets before this shower leave office.
Enjoy Jonny boy. Enjoy.
