The Labour Left Looms
The lumpen left of the Labour Party reckons the answer to voter disenchantment is to abandon the centre and turn back to the old ways. A fish rots from the head, the weakness of the party leader makes it more likely that this rot will take hold.
Paul Mason, Newsnight's shop steward, could barely contain his excitement last night reporting the prospect of a battered Brown introducing higher taxes on high earners, windfall corporate taxes and the expected soon to be announced "equality agenda" - in other words leveling down. This will be kamikaze left-wing stuff. Britain is already sliding down the economic competitiveness league, the Irish are welcoming FTSE 100 companies making the taxodus from HMRC's demands. Gordon will now be weighing up a shift leftwards, to shore up his position within the party, giving some red meat to the activists and pundits like Polly Toynbee. It will be a change of policy direction based entirely on self -preservation.
He could survive the party conference whatever the polls by promising a left-wing lurch...

The world has moved on dramatically in the past 25 years; as a result of a wide variety of factors (led I reckon by the internet and broadband access) people can relocate at the drop of a hat.
Does Gordon Brown seriously expect the Hindujas et alto hang around in London if given a financial beating? The Dublin business community certainly does not. Someone's warming up seats for these chaps in St Stephens's Green right now.
Given the traditiaonl tax and spend culture, nutty PC social engineering programmes and - well the list is too long - if Labour 'lurches to the left' any further, then God help us.
I wonder of the Labour party is actually headed for a fatal split, between a 'Blairite' centre left SDP style party and a hard left 'Old Labour/SWP/Communist' party. They may indeed be heading for their 'Liberal Party moment'
Since many of their MPs and cabinet members, including these grossly over promoted wimmin, will do whatever it takes to remain feeding from the taxpayers trough, in power or in any form of opposition. Frankly, most are unemployable in the real world. Some of the CVs of these Labour MPs are laughable.
i fully expect to see hazel blears working at the checkout at stockport morrisons in 2 yrs time. what a total. total waster
Until such time as the the PLP admits its real problem and deals with it accordingly, efficiently and promptly, the party will continue to decline into ignominious bankruptcy, hopefully...
Snottie McBean will go down in history as the UK's worst PM and Blair should go down alongside him for not sacking him when he should have and/or following his wife's advice.
The Conservatives couldn't buy this sort of political help. Even they don't have enough money.
Thank you Gordon, the Tories' best electoral asset.
From BBC Newsnight wesite:
Before joining Newsnight, Paul was deputy editor of Computer Weekly, a campaigning magazine whose investigative team regularly creates waves across government and industry.
From Wikipedia:
Mason is "father of the chapel" for the National Union of Journalists on BBC Newsnight. He is a supporter of Leigh RLFC and Manchester United F.C.. He has spoken on behalf of the Trotskyist organisation Workers Power,[4] of which he was previously a member.
I hope Brown falls for it.
"The worse the better", as Lenin once said.
Blears would have to work for Morrisons for nothing under a false name. They would never give her a paid job, would they?
Well, whatever they do- it simply won't work. Labour cannot claim to be 'on the side of the poor/hard working families, etc', because we/they have been f'k senseless by Labour's rising taxes, and hopeless 'tax credit' system. WHAT has the NULAB agenda been? As far as i can see, it has mainly been 'let as many foreigners in the country as possible' and 'create a convuluted tax system to raise as much as possible and waste it'. They've been successful then.
Old Labour? Lets remember what they 'delivered', the winter of discontent, topped off with members of the GMWU, working in Liverpool and Tameside going on unofficial strike. As coffins pile up, Liverpool City Council hire a factory in Speke to store them. Dr Duncan Dolton, asked what would be done if the strike continues for months, speculated that burial at sea would be considered.
Old Labour - Unions running Britain? What a waking nightmare. Let them in now and then the Tories can destroy them a second time.
Would the last FTSE company to leave 'Not So Great Britain' please turn out the lights.
Crikey, won't it all be such fun to watch? A bit like being a tricoteuse watching the guillotine doing its stuff.
Brown is a useless twat: that much is true. He has disgraced Socialism by pandering to the sleazy, corrupt right-wing bastards that pay fuck-all in taxes, whilst the true working-class Socialists see their taxes increase day on day to offset their, with your erstwhile fucking approval, avoidance. All that the moaning tory bastards on this blog can do is, well, moan. They can't remove you for the next 2 years; no bottle you see, and no way to achieve it. Get stuck into them Brown, tax them 'till they beg for mercy. Hit the tory bastards where it hurts them most; in their fat fucking wallets. Stay in position for 2 more years, and tax them, tax them, tax them! Then get to fuck you twat...
Fucking delicious!
If Brown actually got rid of the 90,000 civil servants as he promised he would, that would save us some cash.
Let them lurch to the left. All the more satisfying that the Marxists will be crushed at the next election.
There are still enough people who can remember when the government couldn't shit without getting permission from the "beer and sandwiches at no 10" union leaders.
Socialism is a poison dished out by those - like Toynbee - who are priveledged anough never to have to taste it.
They can sit on high, patronising the rest of us and then take off to their villas in Tuscany when the bins stop being emptied and the power cuts start.
This is a time of huge change. The country is sick of being experimented on by sad sacks of shit who still theink they are in their university commie society.
Time for them to fuck off back to the political wilderness and let's get this country back up to speed.
Hmmm. Thinks... given that Brown/Darling blew £2.5 billion on a failed trick to win C&N, how long before they try to recover it and it what way? Be afraid.
Newsnight seems popular place and in the Mirror they have a very outdated picture of a brown haired Paxman seems he likes tickets to the theatre shows- ahh bless him he's pre retired
Mr F***king Delicious,
Shades of Gotterdmmerung, eh? Good stuff, can I recommend the ghost of Helmuth Weidling as party strategist?
I can assure you dear boy, that it will not impact my taxes one bit and I can enjoy looking forward to another 15-20 years of Tory rule.
Regards,
Foxe Hole.
This is obviously Labour's "Michael Foot moment" with the same likely result as their 1983 election campaign too if they are stupid enough to move to the "left".
You'd think they'd realise that the electorate don't elect governments of the left that's why they elected Blair and NuLabour in 1997
Forgive me for sticking with Tamsin for just a little while longer but I read that she's, 'warned the Tory victor that she, the party and the people of Crewe would be watching him carefully'.
Now, I can buy the fact that the locals & the local Labour party will have an immediate interest in how Timpson performs but - and sorry if I'm being picky - what the fuck has it now got to do with Ms Dunwoody-Kneafsey? Unless, that is, she's going to up-sticks from her non-mansion in Wales to be a constituent in Crewe or Nantwich (the latter town, incidentally, she didn't mention in her scary threat to the Tory victor).
And, how about this? Labour are apparently saying, 'if she (Tamsin) does not make it into top-flight politics, it may be left to her eldest daughter, 17-year-old Demelza (sic!!!!!!!!!!!!!), to carry on the Dunwoody dynasty' (Guardian website today). I bet Timpson is shitting himself.
Its not a Lurch to the left or right they need its to get rid of Lurch from no10.
Gordon"snoteater"Brown worst PM in history destined never to win anything anywhere.
so much fun to watch.
Fox Hole said; 'I can assure you dear boy, that it will not impact my taxes one bit and I can enjoy looking forward to another 15-20 years of Tory rule.'
So, it's you v the master taxer, and you reckon you're untouchable. Mmmmm...
As to the next 15-20 years of tory rule; well bring it on. Under such a scenario, this so-called union is over; so more power to you. The 2 most precious commodities on earth are oil and water; Scotland has an abundance of both. Independence for Scotland is assured, for a' that...
Fucking delicious!
If he ever sets foot out of his bunker he will have rabid OldLab backbenchers all over him with their crazy shopping-lists
after the climb-down on the 10p tax, all manner of insects were crawling out from under their rocks, limbering up to tell him what he had to do for them next
why are geordies so chippy?
He who pays the piper calls the tune? Personal donations to Labour have fallen by 90% in a year. 88% of their donations now come from trade unions.

I've yet to meet a left wing labour MP, so if that's the way they're intending to go, expect a mass exodus of defections to the Tories and Liberals.
The leadership (sic) of Labour just don't have a fucking clue what to do....and no wonder with the likes of Harman, Blears, Kelly, Browne, Millipeds, Darling, Purnell, Burnham and Snotgobbler in charge! They've never run anything successfully in their lives - oh apart from the economy - oh no that's not turned out too well either has it?
Saw Tamsin interviewed when she lost and thought she came across as a stupid bitch. The "watching carefully" crack was crass and very ungracious but the comment that she had held the Labour majority and only lost because "the Tory voters came out" demonstrated both her ignorance and the PLP's arrogance.
And as for (far from) "Fucking Delicious". Be careful what you wish for Scotchman.
Mr F++king Delicious,
Yes, people like me always are. Perhaps once you understand basic facts like this you might amount to something and be less bitter about your meagre lot in life.
I presume with your ill-informed diatribe on commodity investing you are a Scot. Well I hope Scotland gets independence too, I for one would be one of the first to 'short' it upon independence.
The only regret I would have, as a Scot, is the inconvenience of arranging a new passport.

Foxe Hole
"The Fish Rots from the Head"
This book was written for team Gordon
A company’s success or failure depends much on the performance of its board – an ancient Chinese saying is that ‘the fish rots from the head’. Yet the vast majority of directors admit they have had no training for their role and are not sure what it entails.
I now realise why Brown's jaw keeps on detaching like a fish out of water.
I was amused to see GB regard the crushing rejection of his candidate his party and himself as a sure sign that the people of this country want HIM to steer us through the choppy economic waters that lie a head!
10 out of 10 for self-delusion!!
History will remember the NuLabour experiment principally as the government that destroyed the Union. It is inevitable, IMO, that the Scottish will seize their chance in this vacuum and pull away from England (one bright spot, they might take back their discredited political windbags).
The NuLabour splits are as clear as the fissures in the Ice cap on the news last night. A push to the left will finish Labour chances at government (barring a total economic meltdown) but it is unclear how much financial damage will have been done in the meantime.
Whichever way you cut it Cameron is going to have a difficult job in Government. The principal problem now is to deal with the greed of those who would seek to advise him. It is not only the NuLabour politicos who have got comfortable with their snouts in the trough over the past decade, the City of London has traded it's edge in trading and risk dispersal for an American culture of fee-grabbing and systematic misrepresentation. Mediocrity and greed has flourished there as in Government.
The City is the principal earning centre of the UK - and, by a thread, retains it's title as the world's financial centre. The problem for Cameron is that (while the electorate as a whole dismiss the NuLabour experiment) the Financial Industry has also to face a new reality if it is to survive.
Let us hope that Cameron is able to back the right economic horses himself, just as we see him take the lead in the political stakes.
english liberation front said; 'And as for (far from) "Fucking Delicious". Be careful what you wish for Scotchman.'
Well, that's me warned. Perhaps you're BNP, no? Otherwise why no cognisance of us both, according to your name, wishing for the same things? Is English liberation not the blood relation of Scottish nationalism? Or perhaps you want english liberation as long as you continue to rule everyone else? Independence for Scotland is coming, for a' that...and I'm a Scotsman - not a Scotchman.
Fucking delicious!
Anon 9.46 - I'm not sure that Geordies are any more chippy than say Scousers, but they do have their chippy tendencies. Someone commented yesterday that geordies hate toffs - they do, but a "toff" to a Geordie is what the rest of the country would call "middle class", and that is the real focus of Geordie venom - the middle classes. It is not a socio-economic classification but one of culture. Indigenous people of the North East who would be middle class anywhere else cling to their working class culture - they place a very low value on education and pretend to be thicker than they actually are to remain accepted. As for the actual toffs - the aristos, Geordies are used to them as the North East, Durham and Northumberland is still quite a feudal society - tenant farmers eking out a living on the vast estates of the landed gentry, the same landed gentry who occupy many boardrooms of firms and companies based in the North East. In fact Geordies and toffs have one major thing in common in that neither care a toss about anything other than themselves.
Oh Dear, poor Tamsin, bad loser? Of course it wasn't her fault, that she lost, was it? She's got her eye on Edward has she? The only thing missing is the whispered threat, "I'll get you at playtime!"
The people of Crewe & Nantwich have decided, and that, Tamsin, is democracy. Will she tell the voters of C&N that they got it wrong?
If you want to hear a whingeing leftie patronising the working classes, listen in to the news quiz today on BBC Radio 4 and you will hear Jeremy Hardy suggesting the voters of C&N are stupid.
Tamsin? Jeremy? Bastions of the working class? Wasn't Tracy and Jason posh enough?
dr. foxe mchole; you're not a Scot, you're a unionist quisling. Sorry if that upsets you, but there you are. Good luck with the hunt for a passport though; but I doubt if many in England will welcome you - read the Telegraph et al. In England, Scots are as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.
and to paraphrase you; you'd be the first to (be) shot upon Independence. Desrvedly so; Scotland will have no need of corrupt little barrow-boy capitalists like you and your ilk...
Fucking delicious!
Just two weeks after Jonah Brown visited Plymouth and Exeter. An Islamic terrorist from Plymouth tries to Blow up Exeter.
How will Gordon's curse manifest itself on the Eden Project?
Fucking Gobshit:
"Independence for Scotland is coming, for a' that...and I'm a Scotsman - not a Scotchman."
Fuck off you inbred scotCH cunt.
Mr Delicious. If you want independence for Scotland and therefore want to lose the massive subsidy you currently receive from English taxpayers, go right ahead. We in England will be delighted.
You will find that the oil does not 'belong' to you and that taxation of Scottish people in Scotland will therefore have to rise by about the same amount as the Tory vote rose in Crewe and Nantwich on Thursday.
Enjoy.
Unintelligible person @ 10:22am;
Have you taken your medication? Thought not. Anyway, you are funny; as funny to me as Brown is to you. Tax them Gordon, tax them 'till they squeel, and then some. There, that shuld wind you up enough to cause heart failure, and to me that would be...
Fucking delicious!
Oh yes, the oil is Scotlands; and I'd welcome the fight - political or physical - for Scottish governance of it. And as for the English taxpayer subsidising us; what about the Welsh, the Northern Irish? How do they fit in to your pre-school reasoning? Of course, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish don't pay taxes, only the English do that. It's Scotland's oil; deal with it and lets move on. That would be...
Fucking delicious!
The Scots are off. Who in their right mind wants to be ruled by a bankrupt shit hole like England.
Basically you are fucked.
Once we have independence then we can finally get shot of all those pommy, cockey accents, guardianista pseuds, EBC crap like Eastenders, Paxo, Jonathon Woss and not forgetting the license fee. Oh bliss.
Effing Delicious, Look at official documents as recently as the 1940s and you will see men from Scotland described as Scotch. This Scotsman stuff seems to have originated from prissy Princes Street Highlanders who want to be chippy with "English".
I have a very good English dictionary and it defines 'Scotchman' as a native of Scotland. As we are communicating in English I therefore presume I am right. I would be happy to accept you interpretation of the word in Gallic as I wouldn't want to cause offence to your native tongue.
Relax, FD, pop down the shops and get something for your supper. You could have a nice scots egg, with some fine scots beef washed down with a dram of 12 year old scots whisky, but take your coat, you might get a chill in the scots mist!
Let me assist in continuing the delusion; here's a handyt phrase for you:
...and once independent we Scots can rely on the 60,000 net taxpayers [that many?] North of the Border to pay for it all.
Best of luck to you. Hope it works out. Have Gordon while you're about it; he's got a job to do, he tells us.
praguetory 9:47 is right. The labour party is in the hands of its creditors. Financially it has to do what the unions tell it to. Given that Captain Ahab went for funding without reform to undermine Blair and didn't stop the postie's Warwick deal with the unions, this is the way taht the scorched earth policy will go.
seaxe; you will, as you wish, call me what you will. I'm not Scotch, ergo I'm not a Scotchman. But whatever, your play on words amused me.
tuscan tony; I'm sure it will work out. And no, I don't want Brown back in Scotland; finders keepers and all that. He's yours, and to me that's...
Fucking delicious!
Lurch to the left? don't make me laugh.
NuLab's membership is shrinking at an alarming rate.
NuLab is bust and reliant on the Unions.
The Unions are losing members hand over fist.
Nulab have provided the Unions with tax-payers monies in exchange for a bung.
NuLab perseveres with the demand for more state funding.
NuLab ensures that the state pays for its special advisors and various other hangers-on and spinners.
Crewe showed that the old class war rhetoric doesn't work.
The question, for those of a rocket science bent, is when will the cash run out and the merry-go-round stop?.
Mr F**king Delicious,
Re: Unionist quisling. No, I really have no strong feelings on the matter either way. From an economic perspective, under SNP policies, Scotland will go bust very quickly. Which will be sad for well-educated, hard-working non-neds amongst the population; of which you are clearly not one.
I can assure you I know far more about the state of Scotland's oil reserves (and decommissioning liabilites) than you do or Salmoron. It is not good.
Though I suppose that might be too complicated a concept, after a few swallies, when you are trying to set the world to rights in Griers Pub, G34 with the rest of the tiny-trots.
Regards,
FH
Effing Delicious, you spoil this blog with your stupid and ignorant rants. I hate and loathe with a passion Snotgobbler Brown. I suspect he is representative of your oik of a Viking raped and pillaged surrender monkey misogonistic plonkers.
Do, do bugger off, perhaps with your Trotsky dole scrounger mates. You are happy to see the poor of England suffer huge tax burdens because you, you ghastly little man, (I bet you are a little runt)happily sponge off the rest of us.
Twat watch is where you belong. Dump him, Guido. LabourHome dump trolls, why not us?
I see fucking deluded! must have hooked up with his crack dealer again.
Ah, here we have democracy English style; 'dump him Guido' says the inarticulate fud, 'He doesn't agree with us sponging capitaists!' What a embarassment you are mush, why not go back to bed? Think on this fool-fool; when we Scots are Independent (and rid off the barrow-boys like Fox Hole) how are you going to subsidise your country without Scottish oil? Now, go running to Guido, you little clype. 'Please Guido', he says, 'tell the bad Scotsman to go away; boo, hoo, hoo!' Dwell, again, on this; we Scots will be Independent my sad little friend, and for me that will be...
(regards the original post)
The veil slips to reveal the true nature of the bride.
The groom now realises at last that he's married a right munter.
She, realising that the marriage is about to be annulled, starts to screw him with all her might to secure her claims to him and all he owns.
This is a fucking horror story.
Daily life in modern Britain is waking into a socialist nightmare - a constant drip-drip, salami-slicing death of a thousand cuts.
Let's have done with it and get where we're going fast. I'm sure we'll all be happier for it once hope and delusion is lost.
(Miserable even my own grim standards - have a nice weekend)
Fucking delicious!
a warning to the socialists:
after 24 months of a 'lurch to the left' all that will be left in the UK is a) over zelous officials b) socialists who believe they are 'doing good' c) a feral underclass, in control of the drugs trade d) a nutjob government living in nu-la-la land.
I hate Labour:
People like FD are here to entertain us.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Guido himself.
As for FD's perspective on Sctoch Oil and how brilliant the Sctoch economy will be:
Darien dear boy, Darien. What goes around will almost certainly come around.
60,000 net tax contributors, I cannot wait.
Fucking delicious! said...
"Oh yes, the oil is Scotlands; and I'd welcome the fight - political or physical..."
Lets hope its physical. I think its about time the English kicked your tartan arses again!
The Shetlands have control of the oil and the Islanders dislike their Scottish overlords. I suspect that the Islanders would prefer to deal with an English House rather than the dysgenic squatters at Holyrood.
http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/latestnews/Wrong-MSPs-elected-in-poll.4095379.jp
After all, the below average Scots' representative here would appear to born with Tourette's Syndrome, as far as I can tell from the comments and is thus not worthy enough to benefit from Shetland's good fortune.
Sincerely,

That fucking delicious Scotchman is a cunt of the order of our very own Gary Elsby, the floating turd from Stoke, but without the intelligence quotient.
Seaxe, I think you may have his menu wrong - 6 pints of lager with a couple of Scotch eggs, followed by the obligatory Scotch delicacy, the deep-fried Mars Bar for pudding. Fucking delicious eh, FD, you cross-dressing, wife-beating pasty-faced benefit junkie - fuck off back to the heart of Britain's largest council estate where you belong.
Your economics is on a par with that Gay McTwat, another delusionist from Scotchland. Cunt.
fucking delicious!
why hate the english? we are a euro region like you are, not to consider the eu shows blind ignorance on your part.
typical story, the scots hate the english and the english don't care.
fox mchole; see how your english friends don't merely single me out; they hate all Scots, you included. Remember people, it's Scotland's oil.
Fucking delicious!
How much would the loss of revenue from 'Scottish' oil be offset by not having to pay benefits to hoards of workshy, fried Mars Bar munching, Buckfast swiggers?
FD you arsewipe.
See post at 11:49am.
Twat.
Gently now boys and girls; lets make this dissolution of the worthless union free of antagonism and bile. Then again, I don't suppose you know how to. Ah well, let the trouble begin...
Fucking delicious!
"If Brown actually got rid of the 90,000 civil servants as he promised he would, that would save us some cash."
If they got rid of 600,000 of these REMF's it would go a small way to redressing the balance. Remember it is cheaper to park these wastrels on the dole proper than keep paying them salaries followed by gold plated pensions. Imho, this constitutes one of the greatest financial scandals of the Nulab years.
fucking crackhead,
look, we have no intention of using physical force against the scottish.
I mean from a historical view, scots loyal to the english attacked and killed fellow scots.
we don't need to get our hands dirty, you spastics will do it for us!
you dopey cunt.
Fucking delicious said
call me what you will. I'm not Scotch, ergo I'm not a Scotchman.
I doubt that you are a Scotch man, probably kestrel super strength lager or rubbing alcohol when your Giro runs out.
The oil and gas in the "Scottish" fields are rapidly running out, so fuck off and have the production from "Scottish" waters, whilst we down south can continue to wallow in cash without paying to keep you tartan wankers alive(luckily you have a high morbidity rate)
If you are really lucky we may just build 30 nuclear power stations in your midge infested craphole , you get a few jobs we keep the aircon going and avoid cancer.
The stiffie from the Ladies' Truncheon Club sat moodily on the top of Coldfinger's intray. It was addressed to the other bloke, but Coldfinger thought bitterly that it ought to have come to him by rights. What good would it do there? He'd never appreciate it.
The office heating was set to chilly 87F. Melody and Amanda had been kitted out in Ungaro lurex bikinis; a generous retro cut from the 1960s, featuring a peep-hole detail around their navels. Their tall cork wedge sandals had been a menace; they had spilt iced water down his trousers several times so he ordered them to ditch the shoes which now floated in the piranha pond like capsized toy yachts. The girls padded around on bare feet like silver ducks.
"Melody" he snapped "can you do anything about this?" Melody looked at the invitation, her lips moving slightly as she read. "I could get the police to raid it and arrest everyone" she offered. "No, I mean, could you do something about who it is addressed to." Melody nodded, then came round to the back of the desk. She sat on Coldfinger's knee, the lurex of her bikini drawn tight across her buttocks rasped the fibres of his trousers making little bobbles on the fine wool. She leaned forward then reached down and opened a drawer at the bottom of the desk. She took out an ancient bottle of Tipex, which still had a few precious drops of life in it. With the slightly hairy brush she covered the original name, then waved the card around, pursing her lips and blowing on the white paint. When it was dry she picked up a fountain pen and carefully wrote 'Coldfinger' where previously it had said somebody else. She stood up, turned to face him and bowed, her long dark hair falling forward, framing her cleavage. "Your wish, etc" she said. On the far side of the pond, Amanda giggled. Coldfinger shot her a look with one raised eyebrow. He patted Melody’s behind; the lurex sandpapered his hand.
He admired his reflection. The stab vest made little impression under his jacket, which was cut loose for the purpose. Coldfinger checked the syringe in the small aluminium briefcase, snapped it shut, then turned to the bookcase. He pulled forward the tome 'Short Political Careers and the People Who Should Have Them' which opened the secret door to the tiny spiral staircase. Checking his cuffs, Coldfinger began to climb, reflecting that henchmen were not what they once were. You just couldn't get the staff. If you want a job done properly...
At the Ladies’ Truncheon Club Coldfinger was greeted by hostess Baroness Orkney, who peeped from beneath a hat modeled on Tracey Island. Water sloshed from the tiny swimming pool and the palm tree bobbed as she walked. Coldfinger stooped to get under the brim. “How is he?” she whispered, conspiratorially. “He’s very well, thank you. It’s one of his good days, he’s having a little rest". “I do think you are brave, keeping him going, it must be exhausting for you”. “Oh, one tries not to make too much of it” sighed Coldfinger, half-smiling. He stood up, knocking his head on the edge of the launch ramp. Thunderbird 2 sploshed in to his glass of water, where it bobbed next to the ice cubes like a stray green beetle.
The Ladies’ Truncheon Club was by invitation only, a high-brow discussion group where tangles of women seemed to be whispering in little knots. Every now and then a shriek would rise above the hubbub. Coldfinger’s plan was simple; hypnotize the lot of them and co-opt their network for his own plans for world domination. They came in two flavours: short women in flamboyant silk suits, like crinkly dumplings, and tall ones in pale dresses like wraiths. The tall ones spoke less so they would be the first marks – the shortarses hardly stopped talking long enough to let him get a pendulum in edgewise.
He had just caught the eye of a dark-haired woman in spike heel boots with little buckles and straps which went up her calves, when there was the sound of a double-door opening. Silence fell and every head turned unthinkingly towards the entrance. An unprepossessing fellow walked in, nothing remarkable about him at all, unless hair like a guinea pig counts. He was wearing supermarket jacket, a polyester velvet bowtie on elastic, and a ruffled nylon dickey shirt-front with plum piping. Coldfinger couldn’t see his shoes, but he knew they would be a pair of bottom-of-the-range Nikes. Tracey Island sailed across the room towards the incomer, Baroness Orkney somewhere below it, a ripe volcano of sexual innuendo. The pianist began to tinkle quietly ‘You walked in to the party like you were walking up to a yacht…’
Coldfinger felt the bile rising in his throat, his temperature rising dangerously and threatening a core melt-down. The ancient tribal enmity which Essex has for Hampstead, bloody norf London 'ampstead, they think they’re so cool just because Freud schnorrered a house there, well let me tell you moosh, we’ve got mansions like you wouldn’t believe out here, we don’t need no swimming pools cos’ we can get direct to Southend. Yeah, and Liverpool Street. You trustafarians can stick your ruddy Tuscan villas, you make me - there was a loud crack and his glass shattered in his hand, luckily only giving him a slight cut to the web of his thumb. Blood dripped on to his trousers, soaking in to the rough patch rubbed by Melody’s bum.
"Well, that's me warned. Perhaps you're BNP, no?"
No.
And what I seek is liberation, which is not the same as nationalism or "independence" from the Union (which is a non sequitur anyway).
Liberation, amongst other things, from bigots like you who presume with some degree of manipulative word craft that "English" implies BNP. Liberation from Scotch MPs who can legislate in my country and impose burdensome taxes which they don't impose on their own. Liberation from a Scotch "Prime Minister" and his meddling Scotch cronies and their traitorous English collaborators who impose authoritarian laws and political correctness and all the trappings of the lunatic left on us.
And when the time comes to fight for this liberation. I mean really fight. You will find me ready and capable in the manner of my yeoman forebears.
As I said before, be careful what you wish for Scotchman.
Why is that poof Parris giving the Labour drones advice FFS?
The C&N campaign surely indicates Labour are retreating back to a core vote strategy.
Let these useless fuck ups raise more tax from everyone who adds something to the economy, & throw it at the feckless, scrounging filth.
Labour are facing a wipe out in Kent.
Hardworking blue-collar families are at the end of their collective tether with Labour's social experiment to reward filth who sit on their arses watching horse racing and snooker all day.
These scum are too lazy and stoopid to even realise they have to put on a pair of slippers and some traccie bottoms, possibly a tshirt, maybe even brush their teeth and hair, and walk to the school which their kids sometimes attend to vote for the clowns who are helping them.
How Brown must be sooo furious the feckless dont apopreciate him
There's not going to be any lurch to the left from the government. When Labour lose the general election some in the party will advocate it, but even in opposition it still won't happen. The world has changed and almost everyone knows it.
perhaps New Labour wil play the English card?
fucking delicious - you are Quentin Davies and I claim my battered deep fried pizza.

"He has disgraced Socialism"
Fuck me. Even Hitler didn't achieve that! Unstrung fucking genius!
Christ, I feel a fucking sonnet coming on.
Fucking Divisive!
9:56 AM
Looks like someone's already scoffed an eye.
Can't think who tho, I know my cat "Titbits" wouldn't even piss on the stinking old trout.
Time to throw it back.
Demelza Dunwoody, a Junior officer in the Welsh Labour Party: Yet again, another no-mark gets a non job with other no-mark's purely out of nepotism. And Demelza's mother had the cheek to slate the "Tory Toffs"!!!
I bet their family conversations are fucking riveting, well they can always look in the Public Sector Job ads in the Grauniad, plenty of jobs for fucking parasites like ex Labour PPC's..............
She'll have no fucking idea of the real world. Another fucking idiot like Blears, Mad Harriet or corrupt fucker Jowell. Her mother states "Watch out for her, she's even tougher than me". I bet the Tories are fucking shitting bricks!!!!
Loathe though I would be to traduce a 17-year-old girl (even a NuLabour one), if Tamsin is going to prematurely stick her daughter in the limelight by helpfully saying to the Grauniad of Demelza things like, "Watch out for her - she's even tougher than me", I would enquire just how tough is that? What, losing in the Welsh Assembly? Losing a safe Labour seat? Running a misjudged and crap toffs campaign? Dropping your double-barrelled name purely for pragmatism? Keeping quiet about your posh house and Burke's entry? Yeah - really tough. And really smart, too.
Demelza, though you may not welcome them, a couple of observations if I may: if you are going to campaign on your own behalf in the not-too-distant-future, on no account rely on a moniker like Demelza Dunwoody-Kneafsey to afford you working-class credentials. Oh, and please, don't, under any circumstances, think that YOUR mother's name and reputation may be used to your advantage. Sadly, that's one albatross stuck permanently around your neck.
Kind regards.
Is she as equine featured as her mother?
Avram Grant Sacked.
The Curse of Jonah Brown strikes again.
Is Demelza Dunwoody going to turn into the Peaches Geldof of politics?
Mr FD
I fear you are sadly deluded. Your country may get it's 'independence' but it will be a pyrric victory once you realise the EU actually call all the shots.
Effing Delicious is rather entertaining so please do not delete him Guido.
As for Scotlands' oil, well we have had most of it so why not just let them just fuck off and fight amongst themselves for the remnants?
Of more concern might be the EU dictated Balkanisation of our own Realm Of England. Having ignored the voters of 'umberside' who emphatically rejected lowly prescotts Regional Assembly; the NuLab project continue with it anyway suborning the Police, Fire Brigade, Ambulance Service, HMP Prisons, Natural England and any number of NuLab Quangos to mirror the EU rape of our single country.
My natural constituency embraces Berwick, Sheppey, St.Mawes, Ide, Ashbourne, Tottenham, Chester and Deal; let some EU cunt tell me that we are at odds with each other
" Not A BNP voter "
"The 2 most precious commodities on earth are oil and water; Scotland has an abundance of both. Independence for Scotland is assured, for a' that...
Fucking delicious!"
Stoopid fucking cunt; typical socialist scots git!
Ye can have all you want; the fucking oils run out cos the cunts in Brown Office raised the taxes on exploration so much there's no benefit in going for it.
Biliton alone is newly drawing a million barrels a day from friendly soil! Up yer kilt!
BTW if you think Scotland can survive on oil think again; the tax take would have t be so high you would get anyone excep[ting an idiot to consider pulling any out. AND you will have t buy from the open market! Doncha know any basic economics of oil production?
Idiot cunt!
I agree with minekiller, Labour may yet split (again). After all, wasn't "new" Labour supposed to be the new bright face on the left-leaning agenda ? Kinda like Romania which we were continually told was the "humane" face of communism, proof that it could work blah blah. Well we all know now how the Romanians apparently disagreed with this rubbish and delivered their verdict on their fearless leaders, Nicolai & Elena.
Some Bloke:
Well put.
Mine is Manchester, London, Kinsale.
A love of Wales, Ireland and Scotland (except for Scotch cross dressing wife beating etc etc).
The way I see it, in these Sceptered Isles 50% of the people are fuckwits, 50% are sane human beings, just look at Crewe and Natnwich, 50% for Ted and the delicious Mrs Timpson.
All we have to do is find somewhere like Australia and ship that 50% there.
The thieving bastards are still at it.

It's in German but in essence:
What’s basically happened is that the UK was recently awarded Euro 162 million (£110 million) from the EU Solidarity Fund to help the flood victims in Yorkshire whose gaffs were made uninhabitable by the floods about a year ago. However, the UK gobment only plans to pay out £31 million and to keep the rest to help plug the holes in the national budget.
Because the UK is a net payer into the EU, but has to forego many of the subsidies handed out to France, Spain etc, Maggie Thatcher negotiated a rebate. Since 1984, something like EUR 69 billion has been paid back to the UK as a result. This rebate is generally reduced by normal EU subsidies. And this is where Brown the Clown and that Darling geezer have done a bit of clever bookkeeping, since the money for the flood victims is regarded as tantamount to a subsidy.
So they reckon that two-thirds of the sum from the Solidarity Fund would have accrued to them anyway in the form of the rebate, and they’re also hanging onto a further £19 million, which would have been the UK contribution to the financial aid.

Sehr interessant. Vielen Dank.

As an ex-Labour voter I have a personal message for Gordon Brown - fuck you you arrogant, ignorant, incompetant, big headed fuckwit CUNT - for ruining my country, for spreading dissension & disharmony through your lies, favouritism & your godamned Political Correctness. May you & all your pathetic smallminded slackwitted arsehole cronies (who could never actually hold down a job in the real world) rot in in the seventh circle of Hell for eternity & may generations in the future come to spit on your graves for the wrongs you have done in reducing a once great nation to ashes. May your names go down in history for the ignorant & useless fuckers you are.
BTW if you think Scotland can survive on oil think again; the tax take would have t be so high you would get anyone excep[ting an idiot to consider pulling any out. AND you will have t buy from the open market! Doncha know any basic economics of oil production?
Idiot cunt!"
Methinks he protesteth a bit TOO much!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
You sassenach git!
HAHAHAHAHAH!
Go back to your self abusing!
HAHAHAHAH!
An interesting article in the Sunday Times about the expenses claims of some of the parasites. Bliar, Mandelson, Keen and Beckett, plus links to pdfs of full breakdowns for the same.
No wonder these cunts are so removed from reality,
" — The Keens insured each other’s lives for £430,000 – and claimed the premiums on expenses
— Margaret Beckett, the former foreign secretary, claimed more than £6,500 in allowances for gardening at her constituency home in Derby, including bills for pruning shrubs, trimming the hedges and for dismantling and rebuilding a rockery
— Barbara Follett, the equalities minister, used her expenses to pay bills – including those for window cleaning – addressed to her husband Ken Follett, the millionaire author
— John Prescott, the former deputy prime minister, offered to start paying council tax after The Sunday Times revealed in 2005 that he was not required to pay the tax on any of his three properties "
It says in the article that the claims are within the rules! Well the rules have to change! And quickly.
Lets hope this keeps coming like a dripping tap, on and on, until the great unwashed realise just how we are being fucked, without lubricant, by all of the porcine bastards.
I'll say it again bastards!
Apologies, I meant the EIGHT circle of Hell, not the seventh for Gordon & his misbegotten followers in my previous comment.
clarkenwel opined
so fuck off and have the production from "Scottish" waters, whilst we down south can continue to wallow in cash without paying to keep you tartan wankers alive(luckily you have a high morbidity rate)"
HAHAHAHAH! methinks c/well is crapping himself at the thought of all that LOVELY Scots oil, whisky and taxes disappearing from the coffers of these thieving london tenth raters calling themselves a government-never mind c/well, when you are down to your last p and desperately trying to pay your taxes, we MAY, if you are VERY good, PERHAPS will send you the occasional barrel to prevent you and your immigrant friends from freezing to death in that shithole down there you call home!
HAHAHAHAHAH!
New Labour grabbed power with the help of the tartan mafia and then gave them the reward of devolution.
And when the grasping, whining, English-hating Scotchmen claim their "independence", as they will, you watch. The ginger porridge-thugs will still be all over England like a rash, meddling in our affairs and insulting us like Arsegus McHaha @11.02 and "FD" McSwine @ several times earlier, and that useless twat in No.10 who insults our intelligence.
the taxodus thing is solved with the pretty simple solution of withdrawing from Europe and introducing tariffs on the companies that are doing a Bono.
It's really pretty simple.
And the government - of whatever stripe - should be cracking down on high earners, who have disproportinately benefitted from the credit economy - and they should be doing something to stop the London economic markets beign the moneylaundering capital of the world.
The danger to the the Labour party turning to the left lies in social policy. Because it is here that peril lies.
Because the fact is that the BNP takes votes from Labour far more than it does from any other party, and a move to the left would only strenghten the BNP.
re: the withdrawing form Europe point one only has to look at the farce of the referendum and Gordon Brown sneeking in to sign the Lisbon treaty to understand how British foreign policy on this matter has collapsed into anarchy.
so, in summary, the Labour left's answer to the electorate rejecting socialism, is even MORE socialism.
good bye Labour so. hope you enjoy your stint on the rubbish tip of history, alongside Lenin and Marx.
So this is how nulab ends not with a bang but a whimp.
Methinks he protesteth a bit TOO much!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
You sassenach git!

Well its a shame that the tax income from the oil taken out of the UK sector of the North Sea has largely been wasted on Scots gits like yerself, who plainly dont think its right to do anything except sponge off others, eat deep fried revoltings and then expect the NHS to give them medication to fix their self imposed, self abusing illnesses.
Oh well I expected to see some clarity but instead economic and political short sightedness typical of whinging victim socialist culture running dogs.
Compare Leith Docks to Canary Wharf and you can see the contrast between village politics and the big boys.
Delusional thoughts to progress a political argument is typical of lefty sixth formers on a break from acting pencil monitor!

Yes as per Michael Foot. Sad Sad delusional creatures, who live in a marxist dreamland circa October 1917. One can only pity their complete lack of any rational
intelligence.
Let's hope they do indeed put on their Michael Foot hats, and thereby electorally disappear forever.
The only down side is how much damage they'll do to the economy/country in the 2 years running up to the next election.
So, I guess we should all hope they swing way way left but only in about 18 months' time before they get a chance to do any real damage, that way they'll become unelectable for about 50 years but not do any more harm than they are at the moment.
It's a sad day when all you can say about a government is "I hope they don't do something to make things even worse", but that's the twisted world we live in when it's run by such a bunch of monkeys.
