Join The Truth Revolution

As an exemplar of every good human quality the unhappy duty of pointing out other’s faults often falls to me. In particular, I never lie . I have tried once or twice but I can’t do it so the lie detctor kit they are using to spot benefits frauds is superfluous pour moi. At poker, my hand is written in neon on my face, ..” ..oo I think I may as well come for the ride ……….hey come on …why did everyone stack…come back..!!?.
Perhaps it is because I am , like Ronald Reagan,Not smart enough to lie" ,that I take special umbrage that the “sheet of a bool” is gaining a sort of weary acceptance in our lives .
. Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to miss X factor . I have watched it and part of the “Human interest?”, is the way hopeless fat and ugly people, (salutations my brothers), reach the early auditions only to be told their falsetto Nessum Dorma to the tune of “One green bottle “ might be good for calling the pigs home, but that’s it .The tearful imprecations of mothers, torn from Greek tragedy, usually enlivens the next minute or so, until they depart in a rich fog of chavvy expletives . I had no idea until yesterday that they already been though several auditions off camera, in which the tragic clowns were primed and puffed up with fools self belief .I sometimes think we are right back at the Roman amphitheatre . What next , severely mentally handicapped prodded with sticks and laughed at ? Arseholes .
Casual dishonesty at the BBC has been documented in the great Cookie the cat scandal but Dame Pauline Neville Jones, former spy chief pointed out the propaganda undercurrent to the broadcasts of “New Round “ a programme levelled at the six to twelve age group which might stand for the ocean of mendacity in which we swim. This was how they described 9.11. On their web site ." The way America has got involved in conflicts in regions like the Middle East has made some people very angry including a group called Al Qaeda - who are widely thought to have been behind the attacks “ In a world where 45 % of Muslims world seriously believe 9.11 was concocted by the Jews and Americans we cannot have the BBC purveying the myth that Iraq was US greed and not , as it was, Islamic aggression.
Andrew Marr is a lifelong socialist and progressive ,a close fried of Polly Toynbee and ex editor of the soft porn for the bleeding edge rag The Independent . The Scottish lefty was the ‘natural choice’ for Gordon Brown`s first major interview in which he rivalled Oona King for sycophancy. Oona King is my current favourite member of the order of the Brown nose for this scented love note:
…” watched Gordon brown deliver his pre budget report. He wiped the floor . The Tories hardly bothered to attack. No disrespect to my husband when I say that listening to Gordon at his best is better than sex”( The Eye)...barf!
.
What a contrast was his mauling of David Cameron this morning. The boy king once more showed quite what a consummate performer he is and he needed to be .Marr sat hunched over notes spitting venomous if clumsy attempts to discredit the Conservative Party. This was typical . He repeatedly barracked Cameron with the questions about the likely growth of runways and roads on his ‘watch’ as if this invalidated the Zacolcyte green agenda . As Marr well knows in the real world to have a moratorium on all transport link expansion is a political impossibility .The Conservatives were brave enough to float it but understandably it sunk in its pure form . They are looking at formulas that tax air travel in a neutral way. This is a great deal more than Brown as Marr knows but he endeavoured to try to suggest that the Green initiative was sort of fraud.
My point is not that it is a perfect policy it is that Marr deliberately set up an opposition that he knows does not exist. Typical eh , the BBCis not perhaps as left as it wass in the 90s but they are still fighting for Labour most days . Cameron was quite superb and a marvellous contrast to the Nixonite obfuscations of slippery Gordon.

I was further heartened to hear William Hague effortlessly tap the ball into the numerous open goals that the gravity defying “New Brown” trope obligingly leaves anyone with more than a three second memory. Much fun was made of his conversion to Thatcher’s .“Yes he’s a conviction politician , and if you don`t like these convictions he has plenty more “ . I liked his account of how Brown stole money from the pension funds and then spent public money trying to prevent the truth of what he had done coming out under FOI.” He makes Maxwell look like an amateur “ the comparison may not be freshly minted but it has a certain quality forgotten by the BBC , Andrew Marr , X factor, Police statistics , immigration figures , benefits cheats everywhere and Gordon Brown

Its true."In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." (Orwell).Welcome to the revolution my fellow truth tellers .

Always On My Mind

.....Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best,
I'm sorry, I was blind.

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind


Good luck David Cameron

Won`t Get Fooled Again

(If you are going to wear the Flag do it with some style Gordon)

WE have had a chat about the 1997 election in which the Saintly Mr. Cassilis has passed a scented hanky before his courtiers nose at the reek of partisan acrimony wafting from this admittedly Brown detesting Blog.( His blog which will soon be up in the top spot is terrific do look its on the blog roll). Full of humble contrition I have resolved to be positive from this point on.

Let me say then, that I am absolutely positive that Brown is the most dishonest and incompetent politician that I recall . Can we stop all this “man to be reckoned with “, rubbish. He has made a pigs ear of everything he has touched( Tax credits and welfare most importantly). I think it’s the claim to be a new type of politics that really makes you laugh the hollow broken laugh of a dying white face mime artist though. Lets have a wander though the delightful garden of ‘new politics’ shall we, and compare it with the stinking quagmire of little smiling Bamby from whose glib mendacity OUR LEADER is so keen to be distanced.......



Blair -Enters Downing street outlining priorities as education and the NHS and “To be a government that seeks to restore trust in the politics of this country ...That is our objective, for the people of Britain. Today , enough of talking its time to do .”

Brown-Enters Downing street outlining priorities as “ Change in our NHS , change in out schools , change to build trust in government ...That is my promise to the people of Britain, and now let the change begin “

Blair - Mandy, his PA , gets cabinet office minister and snooping role
Brown -Ed Milliband , his PA gets cabinet office minister and general; snooping role

Blair - Appoints SDP founder Roy Jenkins to chair commission on electoral reform
Brown- Appoints Shirley Williams as adviser on Nuclear proliferation

Blair - Appoints former Conservative front benchers Chris Patten and Michael Heseltine as Millenkium Commisioner and RUC enquiry person or something
Brown- Appoints former front benchers Mercer and Bercow as advisers on security and children with learning difficulties

Blair- Holds hour long meeting with Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street within three weeks of Moving in
Brown- Holds hour long meeting with Margaret Thatcher in Downing street within three months of moving in

Blair -Dithers over referendum about whether to rule our EU entry, brown noses Sun editor Stuart Higgins, sticks his snout into the Diana story and alters Party conference rules to end composite motions which had been used to embarrass the leader .

Brown- Dithers about whether to rule, out referendum on EU treaty, brown noses Paul Dacre of the Mail, sticks his snout into the McCann story and changes conference procedure to end emergency motions raises at the last minute which had been used to embarrass the leader.


For god`s sake didn`t anyone ever listen to the Who....


“
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss “

Can I suggest this Ditty for the Tory conference

Anniversary

Good Lord today is the 6th of these earthshaking events for self and Mrs N and I have discovered that it is either the Iron or the Sugar anniversary. Accordingly I have bought the lazy bint a new Iron and intend to say “ Get on with my shirts sugar” ,to mark the occasion.

Women know your place

A Wee Fib

Brown lies is large ways we know but also in small ways . His silly book "Ordinary Heros" is presented as conversations he had with when in fact it was all gatherered by a pet "Charity " and ghosted into a misleading shape.He met almost none of them. His speech was cobbled together form Al Gore`s and I didn`t really notice at the time but Mathew Parris brilliantly nails him for trying to imlicate David cameron in the ERM debacle which stemmed from policy descisions Brown himself supported.He should have stuck more rigidly to the Big Lie theory ,these slips tell us what sort of man he is

............. I’ll start with the smaller: a sneaky little fib and hardly worth rebutting, but revealing of character because it was something Gordon Brown certainly knew to be untrue, didn’t need to say, but said anyway just to purchase some minuscule and momentary advantage for himself. In words cut from the text distributed to the media, but which I heard him deliver, he said this: “The current Conservative leader was the principal economic adviser to the Chancellor of Black Wednesday and he stood alongside Norman Lamont...” David Cameron was not, of course, the principal economic adviser to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wasn’t an economic adviser at all. He was a special adviser; there were scores of them; still are. They don’t count for diddly-squat, many are barely out of university, their opinions on big economic decisions are neither relied upon nor, in most cases, even sought, and Mr Cameron, as it happens, was 26, an age at which the young Gordon Brown was still railing against Margaret Thatcher’s legacy. Nice, however, to see him paying homage to her on Thursday. Anyway, just make a note and file it away: an illustration of how carelessly Mr Brown twists when it doesn’t matter..."

Mad Hattersley

Is there any more disgusting a human being than Lady Hattersley`s Lover, Roy .As a politician I could out up with him but since his presumed senility kicked in he has maintained a drivelsome stream of breathtaking preposterousness . He pointed out that Brown is quietly quiescent to the left`s demands for increased income redistribution and smugly quotes Crosland as a template for the Scottish socialist( New Statesman)
Clutching himself with revolting flabby glee at the prospect of Brown cutting the Jacob`s from wage earners he can think of only one thing that provides quite such the unmanly wriggling ecstasy..

“ ..the sight of hazel Blears “ Tony`s little ray of sunshine “- wildly applauding her new hero …”

Vomit of the year …gotta be close . There is a serious point here though . By gesturing at conservative shibboleths like immigration ( which also solves his BNP problem) , Brown is getting away with murder ( most foul). No-one has asked what his intentions are on taxes and he has given no undertaking not to increase them .Why not ? Labour wanted detailed and costed manifesto commitments years ahead of an election but Brown is about to grab power without any scrutiny whatsoever of his core political position.

Irwin Selzer, a balanced and at times pro Gordo figure, spelt it out “ Goodbye prudence , hello profligacy, The Chancellor who insisted that every benefit be costed and paid for - our of higher taxes more often than not - has morphed into the PM who has never met a cost benefit he is not prepared to sponsor “For god`s sake Conservative Part sort it out and start asking the big question How much ?

Golden Brown

Couldn`t get that old Stranglers song off my mind on the train home ..sorry ..any better ideas?


Gordon Brown taxes for fun
Rumplstiltskin left less un-spun
Bambi was drowned
Won`t make a sound
Never around
With Gordon Brown

Cash for honours , Gordons aghast
All those years and he never asked
From whence it came
Blair took the blame
He can`t be found
Just Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown ,of clunking fist
Never was, a Socialist
Ten years of spend
That was his friend
Put underground
By Gordon Brown

Everything the same as it was
But we don`t mind too much because
Snowball is dead
Napoleon’s head
Recently crowned
King Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown, British as beef
From the English he is a thief
If you’re a Scot
You get the lot
Billions of pounds
From Gordon Brown

Brown Will Wait

I have had a thought about the question of the moment, and it is my prediction that Gordon Brown will not be tempted by his chimerical 11% lead and will go round to next year at least if not beyond.. Think back to Tony Blair , even those who voted against him were not eaten with bitterness and many thought the divided Conservatives had it coming . Gordon does not have this luxury
Golden Brown ( taxes for fun) does not just want an administration he wants psoterity .The ephemeral swing voters may swing like a car-key party but they do not a move opinions like the politically informed enemy. These are some of the reasons why Brown will walk into a firestorm of loathing from day one .

Cash for honours – Brown ran the election campaign does anyone think he didn`t known where the money came from
Tax- 38% state governed expenditure has become 45% on his watch
Tax Credits – Delivered like a clown school graduate and failed at huge expense
Democratic deficit – His use of British-ness sets new levels of sheer cheek
Welfare- It was he who organised the expulsion if Frank Field and the genuine attempt by New Labour to reform welfare . Today 80 % of the 96 billion is something for nothing.
Public Services- he more than anyone has been the puppet master engineering a regime of cash without reform to the destruction of health education and policing


Polls cannot show you how much your opposition hates you but Gordon knows and he knows the importance of an irreconcileable resistance.
Much has been made of the example of Callaghan who dithered until the Winter of discontent . What about the example of Major though ? He had a 15% lead on the basis he was not Margaret Thatcher and with great skill charted a period of consolidation. He faced , however, the implacable opposition of those who had never had the chance to vent their rage on Thatcher. When it went wrong it was the end not only for Major but the Conservatives to this day. Brown was there to watch as the Conservative project rotted.

We know we’ve been conned and Brown knows we know . 11 % is tempting but he will be fighting for every inch of his programme if he bounced Britain into the “Second Phase”.I think he will try to establish a level of tolerance in the opposition which will be as important as sheer votes for any momentum to be maintained .

I freshen my disgust daily but others may be weak. Keep the faith.Maintain your hate

The All Blacks Are Coming

The government is holding talks with a leading black pressure group to see whether any future change in the law to let parties choose parliamentary candidates from shortlists made up entirely of ethnic-minority candidates could work in practice, Harriet Harman, Labour’s deputy leader, said yesterday.
After Ms Harman, also secretary of state for equalities revealed to conference that she had called in Operation Black Vote, its director, Simon Woolley, welcomed the move as necessary and urgent. The Conservatives had a better record in recent months than Labour in getting ethnic minority candidates into safe or winnable seats, he told the Guardian.
“It’s a positive and bold measure. What they want from us at Operation Black Vote is to make the case for all-black shortlists. Partly it’s come from pressure within the organisation but also the fact that in the last four months the Labour party has broadly failed to select any number of BME [British minority ethnic] candidates from winnable seats. They are being outdone by the Tories,” Mr Woolley said. He is writing a paper for Ms Harman which he hopes will be ready in six weeks. [Via The Guardian]
Dreadful idea for so many reasons I hardly know where to start:

1 It says blacks are useless without a leg up
2 Don`t say they face racism , other disadvantaged people , like the poor , for example , do not get a free ride
3 The grandfathers of Caribbean blacks faced real racism but performed better in school than the relatively un-discriminated against, current crop. It is the fault of the black community which insists in a black identity and those jealous of their power who cherish the immunity of victim hood. Handy for Ken Livingstone a disaster for the country and the individuals.
4 It is unfair on whites not all whites, the white passed over.
5 It says the colour of your skin defines you when many blacks are beyond that now and desperate to escape from the constraints of their narrow ethnicity
6 What about mixed race people like my son and my wife are they black enough? Will you want a measurement of nose and lips?
7 Why? Who do they speak for? Can I speak for white people then?

The patronising misconceived wrong headedness can scarcely be exaggerated. There is only one ethnicity that matters in England and it is English. Others are incidental and harmless privately but cannot be set up in competition to the inclusiveness of free men and women meeting on equal terms in a tolerant but confident monoculture. Without the need of the left to boldly go and seek out new victims and make sure they stay that way this would all have been sorted a long time ago. Mixed race children are the fastest growing group in the UK. It sums up everything hypocritical about the Hydra headed left. 35 % of labour voters pick the BNP as their second choice BTW…you watch how careful they are about who stands where … you could not make it up

The New Nixon

There was a lot of details and and a paranoid attempt to snuff out anything that might unravel his grand illusion. He is too close fisted to read directly you have to look at what he didn't say .......

TAX...One word
English Parliament - No words
EU Constitution- No words
Civil Liberties - No words
Localism - No words
Individual Freedom- No words
Blair( ie last ten years )- 3 words
Britain 80 words( Scotland 3 words)
Crime - No new Powers
Unions - Supportive
Equality of opportunity is not enough...long passage ( ie redistribution through taxation)
Jokes - None
Other Parties - Do not exist
Marriage - No support
Immigration- Nothing new

References to himself his achievement his hard work his many qualites endless, and he repeats the lie that he went blind playing rugby . In fact he went blind writing adolescent plots to rule the world in tedious and long winded detail under the bedclothes.Attacking David Cameron quite ludicrously over ERM , which he supported is to be expected I suppose but not one hint that the big Government solutions he has masterminded and which have utterly failed need to be rethought in any way.
Do the people of this country really look around and say to themselves , lets have another five if not ten years more of the same misguided polcies whose genesis was after the Second World War ? I detest this fraud with his conjuring show more than I hated Blair and lord knows I loathed him .Brown makes him look like a ,"Pretty straight guy". Money for the services( that comes out of their budget). Coastal policing that consists of renaming a few agencies , academies that are not really academies anymore .Gesture gesture gesture. Gun crime will be cured by ,"trying a bit harder". Brilliant

Does he remind you of Nixon ? Does me, and as for Quentin davies, enjoy your moment you filthy traitorous dupe . Your name will be a synonym for arsehole for all time. Above all if any good people are listening help us thwart Brown`s plan to replace democracy with some PR hocus pocus. Show trial ,juries and surveys whose job is not endorse our glorious bloody leader Herr Braun and his thousand year reich, . He aims to ethinically cleanse the independent English with immigration , social housing bribes and the ever expanding 8 millions strong paid state slaves who are obliged to repeat the party slogan. He wants to obliterate all debate and all opposition. If he is going to get religious on us ( as he did ) lets really go for it

Our Brown
Who art in charge
Hallowed be thy state
Thy One Party system come
Thy will be done in every way
In private as well as in public places
Give us this day some of our own money back
And save us from the temptation of choice
For thine is Britain
The centalised power and the control
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever

Amen

Guardian Defends BBC shock !

Revealing in the article in the Media Guardian today by lefty tart Peter Wilby.
‘Why Right wingers are on the warpath ‘, it follows the current left formula of claiming he gets a bit peeved with the BBC as well, but due to his greater commitment to impartial truth he will put up with it ….,( insert own swear word). His thesis is that the papers are now competing with the BBC on unfair terms on the internet which is why the are especially vituperative…(good point but not for the BBC methinks ), and then there is a nice demonstration of why the BBC simply cannot continue in its current form.

I quote ( with comments I could not resist)

“ But let us be clear what is happening here( he says ) . A business strategy has come happily together with a political agenda . And the aim of the latter is to later the definition of the ‘middle ground ‘ (No just to present it as what it is ) in British life , moving it to the right of any government of the past thirty years ( I think he means the last ten years ….). This would include debating the reintroduction of the gallows ( and why not !!!); raising the temperature on immigration and race relations (Would the truth do that then ? ).; and treating withdrawal from the European Union as a serious option ( In the sense the country does you mean ?). Most important it includes taking a neutral position on global warming and airing the view that it is the invention of climate scientists who are all dedicated anti capitalists .( Well…..I wouldn’t out it like that but …basically yes it is unbalanced as it is ).


(Now this is the key passage in which we see what he think of those who are sceptical of eco fascists or socially conservative in various ways )

I accept that a significant minority of Britons agree with the sceptics ( So significant that it is in fact a majority). Significant minorities are also sceptical of Darwinism, Arab ( does he mean Muslims ?) responsibility for 9.11 and Elvis Presley’s death.

What significant minority disputes Darwinism ?0.5% ?
Can he really claim that scepticism of certain well financed and politically motivated models of climate change is the same as dismissing all of science in effect on the basis of religious belief (which creationism does ) ?Rubbish it is now common knowledge that at the very least exaggerated claim have been made this is a dispute more akin to differing models of Darwinism such as punctuated equilibrium and so on.
Who disputes responsibility for 9.11 A small brain washed religious community of no significance whatsoever.
Who disputes the death of Elvis . Mad people

Who supports the death penalty …about 70%
Who is strongly sceptical of Europe …The majority( hence no referendum,)
Who feels that immigration is too high . Almost everyone !!!

His version of the middle ground requires the subjective belief that various shades of opinion held by the majority and of all educational levels and back grounds are in some way of less value that his beliefs. They can be dismissed in the way a tiny minority of religious extremists and loons can be dismissed. The only possible explanation is that he thinks he is better than everyone lese. I believe the contrary view that he us an arrogant fatuous and barely adult level collumnist e should be available as well . I tend to the latter position

Fermata

Which is a posh way of saying I`m bloody busy for a while and will not be blogging . Its not the posts so much as the research. I `m afraid the entire newmania brain must be directed at moolah for a while .

I`ll be back

Update ...I `ve just read that and realised I have used the phrase " Entire Newmania brain"....I appreciate it is a Pooh Bear sized organ ...but I like it

Langham In Danger

I know Conservatives are supposed to want to string up Langham`s sort by the balls but I would like him to serve his sentence like everyone else and be protected as he should be.
Former prison governor turned criminologist, Professor David Wilson, thinks Langham, may be at risk. "Amongst some prisoners, there's a lot of kudos in bragging that you 'did that Chris Langham', so he'll almost certainly be offered Rule 45 and end up in the Vulnerable Prisoner Unit (VPU)," he said.
No Rule 45 application may be rejected and every prison is supposed to have separate cells and waiting rooms in which those who ask for protection can be processed apart from other newly convicted prisoners. However, the prison grapevine is remarkably effective and Langham's presence will be known from day one. The former Chief Inspector of Prisons, Lord Ramsbotham, has pointed out that being within sound of the rest of the prison, even if out of sight, can be intimidatory. Shouted abuse and threats have driven some sex offenders to self-harm and suicide attempts and, given Langham's troubled background with alcohol and drugs, he will probably be placed on a suicide watch.At its most stringent, this can mean observation every 15 minutes.

Look Back In Langour - Part 94

Lets go back to a time before we had heard the words “ Clunking fist“.Remember how funny that was as Labour continued to “Languish “as they say. When Brown’s Premiership was still a malignant glare in its author’s eye? Yes that’s right I am doing one of the “Look Back In Languor “ ,occasional series and through the Round window today I have the Labour Party just prior to Brown .Talk of Blair became retrospective and the strange phenomenon of the ghost leadership election ( The deputy leadership ) began to hot up.Fevered speculation about what sort of a change Brown would be followed . Some of it is toe curlingly in error but others were almost clairvoyant. I hope the following brings out the position of Brown in three areas .
1 Constraints of Economic Policy
2 His tricky relationship with the political left of the Labour Party
3 The finances of the Party which clearly have delayed calling an election
……
Jeff Randall “Brown’s raid ( of pensions) according to Terry Arthur ,a fellow of the Institurte of actuaries has reduced the value of retirement funds by at least £100 billion and perhaps as much as £150 billion…The clunking fist is guilty of inflicting GBH “

Blair The inside Years BBC Alan Johnson( Then favourite to become Deputy Leader)”He ( Blair) The thing about Tony is that he’s incredibly posh..we had a chat a couple of years ago and I talked about kids . I said I had three by the time I was 20 and he said to me “ So you really are working class. I said “ Tony , yes I am”

Phillip Johnston ( Of the welfare debate at the beginning of the Blair years) “Within a year Mr. Field was out on his ear and Mr. Brown was entrenching the main elements of the welfare system… ..none of Blair’s good intentions have been fulfilled .
“ 80% of benefits £ 64 billion is paid out on a something for nothing basis “
“ Our welfare spending is at generous European levels but manages to produce the same levels of inequality seen in the US where much less in spent on transfers from rich to poor . WE would have been better off employing Robin Hood”

“John Reid fuelled speculation that that he is planning to challenge Gordon brown for the Leadership….” the Labour party will take the decision” he told BBC1`s Sunday AM programme “ And for us to be trying to pre-empt their right , I don`t think would be the courteous or sensible thing to do “………(sigh)


“ Supporters of Hazel Blears claimed that she is now the leading woman candidate for the post…International Development Secretary Mr. Benn hopes to cement his position as the bookies favourite…” ( Mail)

“ Mr. Hain last week suggested City Institutions should hand two thirds of their bonus pool to charity and threatened other solution if they failed to act .Mr. Hain said he was backing Ireland to win next weeks game in Dublin ( Against England)

“ Harman is voters choice to be Deputy “..a U Gov Poll showed her to be the most popular second best was Mr. Benn

Simon Heffer turns his guns in the right direction for once “If you can bear it recall these promises from the 19997 Labour manifesto ,‘Education will be our number one priority ‘. ‘We will help build strong families and strong communities’, ‘We will be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime’ oh and if you want a really good laugh…” We will clean up politics”….he concludes “ 700,000 unproductive people have been put on the pubic payroll where they can gratefully vote for Gordon brown in perpetuity. They , Mrs .Blair, the IRA and those for whom the most important thing in life is to be allowed to sodomise 16 year old boys are the only ones I can think of who have done well out of the last ten years “

“….. had their been as much ferocity employed in the war on drugs as the war on tobacco smoking Britain would be cocaine free by now …”…Heffer again

At Mr. Meachers campaign launch- he shed tears for the lack of house building for the less well off in recent years . Mr. Meacher , who in 19999 criticised second home owners for “ Robbing people of a home “ was challenged to admit he owned 11 properties…Mr. Meacher also lost a libel action in 1988 over claims he had overstated his working class roots by referring to his accountant father as a farm Labourer …”

“ Gordon brown now has an 11 strong court of special advisers costing the public more than £1million per year for the first time . Sue Nye Spencer Livermore and Damian Mc Bride , are the top of the round kitchen table “

Hazel Blears “People voted for Tony Blair in huge numbers . They will take a dim view of us if we say in effect that was all rubbish and we’re different now …If we are seen as only being about helping the porr and vulnerable we lose our connection who don’t get or expect much from the state but who want to be government to be supportive of people who want to get on “..

Irwin Stelzer -” David Cameron’s demand that Blair resign, a demand not unrelated to the Tories delusional notion that Gordon will prove a less formidable opponent than Blair…( over the peerages scandal) ………..ouch

Mr. Blair told close colleagues that he fears the Chancellor… will “ slam his foot on the brake “ in an effort to wreck his political legacy. Mr. Blair is being urged by some of his inner circle to “ Call Gordon’s Bluff and stay on until the late Summer and early Autumn”…from Patrick Hennessey ( who is almost always wrong actually )

Ms Blear said ..“this meant keeping on side with the 2,000,000 voters who switched from the Conservatives to the Labour Party in 1997 to win a working majority

Gordon Brown’s drive to slash Whitehall budgets by more than £20 billion was thrown into doubt ..In today’s report the National Audit office reveals hat the Government claims to have already saved £13.3 billion. …..only £3.1 billion of these savings stood up to scrutiny “

A Standard London Survey revealed “ A little less than 23% think the Chancellor will be an improvement on Tony Blair when ,as expected he take over the keys to Downing Street. In competence where Brown scored best 36% went for David Cameron and 30% for Gordon brown. But on “ Likely y to stand up for London’s interests Cameron wins 34% to 11%

Brown plans a cap spending by political Parties ,. Currently Parties are legally allowed to spend only £19.35 million at the general election while spending between Polls are not capped . The loophole has allowed the to pit money into marginal seats ….

AS a result of the cash for honours , the party’s debt is estimated at £27 million and Labour will have to build up a war chest to fight the next election

Frances Maude The Conservative Chairman threw down the gauntlet to Labour today by warning that the Tories will not abandon their demand for strict limits on donations from Unions . Nr Maude said there would be no deal unless labour accepted an across the board cap on all donations …9 Which is where we are still sitting “

Headline `Brown will rely on Unions to escape £40 millions black hole “

Julia Langdon of Blair “He looked a beaten man.. Neil Kinnock said yesterday that it would tale a considerable period of time for the Labour Party to recover from this shambles , but untypical for him- he understated the case…does the prospect of a Labour Government led by Gordon Brown seem any more likely to command public respect ? I think not. The Chancellor may have clean hands in the present criminal investigation but that is not the point . He has been a member of this Government throughout and to a great extent has been involved with Tony Blair in the exercise of a duopoly ………..Harold Wilson famously remarked during a rough patch , “I can tell you whats going on- I`m going on”That is not an option for Tony Blair

Bill Deedes on an early election- Mr. Brown’s soothsayers tell him that although he would probably win an election by a narrow margin a smaller majority , given the present mood of the Labour Party would be perilous .


(Looking a this period of phoney war I realises how important the cash for peerages scandal was and how Blair and Iraq loomed so very much larger. It seems to have been assumed that everyone knew that brown was part of the government and would carry a share of ignominy and noone saw that Brown was going to be miraculously reconceived immaculately)

You Gov Survey ¾ of Labour Party want a proper leadership election but in a contest between Brown Milliband Meacher and McDonnellBrons wins handsomely with 52% of Party members saying they would back him

The New Statesman “ The internal ecology of the Party is changing even before Gordon brown gets to run the show . Itbis not yet a luch to the left but it is loosening its moorings …The expectation that a Brown led government will be more recognisable and traditionally Labour in its outlook than a Blair one , an impression he has allowed to flourish over the years ( At our best when Labour …etc.)

They fear Brown will go left and lose the election. Irwin Stelzer made the contrary and it appears correct prediction
BTW I notice that Irwin Stezer is extraordinarily perceptive not to say oracular when it comes to Brown , are they chums ? In this article he marvellously summarises the choices brown has for his government …just a snippet…

“Brown cannot have it both ways. As the think-tank Civitas points out, a society in which one in three households looks to the state for at least half its income "create[s] beholden voters rather than independent people".
The Chancellor wants British workers and capitalists to become as hard-working and entrepreneurial as the Americans he so admires.
But a dependency culture is a risk-averse culture, and people who surrender 40 per cent of their income when they earn it, and another 17 per cent when they spend it, are not likely to walk that extra mile in pursuit of the 43p they are allowed to keep from every pound they earn.
Brown will, therefore, have to choose between continuing down the high-tax, egalitarian path that might have been appropriate to the Britain he inherited and going for growth.
That growth agenda necessarily will involve replacing redistributionist handouts with greater reliance on rewarding individual effort, and reducing the share of national income claimed by his Government. “

He predicts that Brown will hold down public sector pay rises but warns that they will be paid of in Pensions



Letter to the Telegraph “ Gordon Brown`s belief that support for marriage is an ideological judgement “ reveals him to tbe that most dangerous man , a dogmatist who believes himself to be an idealist

The rfirst week.

The Blair era has sown a deep distrust of sound-bites , stunts and spin: picture Mr,. Cameron with his family provoked reflex hostility ( Frank Luntz on News night)…The group complained they did not know enough about Mr. Brown but they valued the Chancellor`s experience and his ability to get things one Callowness versus gravitas will be Mr. Brown`s preferred battle lines……- Mathew D, Anconna

Now if you look at what brown knows about the economy and what the financial difficulties of the Labour Party are I take this evenings leak in the Standard that the election will be within the years very seriously . In other words it is as quickly as it was possible to make it . Opposition is building within Labour and the Unions will have to be bought off ( with even better pensions in some opaque way I `d guess). With a reduced majority.Brown will have to depart the middle way just when he has himself sdecided that what he was doing before cannot be continued with if he is to avoid ‘apocalypse later’. Every day the nation begins to recall Brown was Part of the “Duopoly “ and the fears of a high tax Labour administration grow.

Taken from LabourHome, uttered by "doctordunc":
"This is frankly terrifying! So you're saying we needed Thatcher to reform the unions? I hope nobody on ConservativeHome spots this thread!!"

Stolen from Dizzy who stole it from Con Home ...pass it on and this was on a Compas thread

'Anyone who has seen the photo of Brown and Thatcher together in today's newspapers, must wonder if there is anything remotely resembling a Labour Government left ... to support.

If I were them I wouldn`t worry its only Brown lying as usual

Jihad For Love

A Jihad For Love,( At Toronto Film Festival) is a documentary Indian filmmaker Parvez Sharma drafted in the six years following the September 11th 2001 attacks in New York.
In that time, Sharma followed the experiences of gay Muslims in 12 countries, including India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France.
"We are presenting Islam's most unlikely storytellers," Sharma told the Hollywood Reporter.(Pink news)



There are several errors you can fall into over Islam. The most obvious is to define Muslims as victims and fail to criticise them at all. Even so indefatigable a gay rights warrior as Peter Tatchell ( for whom I have a sneaky admiration), balanced up his criticism of Islam with the suggestion that they too were discriminated against. So what who isn’t in some way ?
Nonetheless he can see little to applaud even from the public face of British Muslims “The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has rejected talks with gay organisations and rebuffed proposals to tackle homophobia within the Muslim community.”....

Others claim that the Monotheistic religions are equally societally backward . The argument goes like this ( From Brian Whittacker)
“It is true, of course, that most Muslims today regard homosexuality as bad ......but this is a product of society rather than their religion. The vast majority of Christians and Jews held a similar view half a century ago but since then significant bodies of opinion in Judaism and Christianity have begun to question it. “......... he had to admit ...
“many Muslims..., denounce gay people as "paedophiles and Aids carriers" and likening homosexuality to a "cancer tumour" that must be eradicated, “.

My suspicion is that the doves that can be found are in tiny numbers and this is really the usual Politically correct confusion dealing with a victim who has a victim.I also dispute the equivalence of theologies posited

.In fact, the verses from the Koran condemning homosexuality are much clearer than those that the Christians use and tolerance in Chistianity has an old tradition stemming from its greater emphasis on love.
In all Muslim countries and all areas where the Islamic Sharia law is enforced homosexuality is strictly illegal. The debates in Islam about homosexuality are not about whether it is acceptable, but merely about how severe the punishment should be.. George Broadhead, noted ...the penalties for those convicted ranged from prison, flogging, execution by a variety of perverted methods – such as throwing the victim off a cliff or pushing a stone wall on to them. "The record of these countries on human rights in general is bad enough, but when it comes to gay human rights, they are disgusting"" Many of the Imams come directly from this wider world and oddly their message seems to appeal particularly to those who appear Westernized.

This film is a cultural attack by innocent fifth collumnists.The first Muslim "gay wedding" in Britain is also behind us and although the participants may not see it they are rotting this stinking old fruit from its centre.It could well be that feminisim , gay rights and free speech will prove our most potent weapons against international theocratic fascism and its 'useful idiot' sympathisers

Fantastic I`m Average !

It is obvious that if you are like the voters then they will like you isn`t it? No surprise then, that both Parties are desperate to locate on the fabled middle ground
Populus has conducted a special poll of voters’ views about the main parties and their leaders . 1,004 adults polled between September 7 and 9 have been asked to place themselves, the three main parties and their leaders on a left-right spectrum. So who is the best at followership?

Scale O-10 Average Voter 5.37 (from 5.27 a year ago. )


Mr Brown- at 5.16, 0.31 points to the right of last year,
Labour Party -5.20
Mr Cameron -5.63, 0.37 to the left of a year ago.
Conservative Party - 5.76, a leftward shift of 0.33, ( closest to the centre in any of the five surveys so far.)
Gap Mr Cameron /Mr Brown from 1.15 to 0.47 over the past year
Gap between the Tories and Labour from 1.12 to 0.56.
Conservative voters moved 0.25 to the right to 6.30( Go us )

Its getting mighty crowded in the middle thats for sure , but just a word of warning . A year ago, Mr Blair was in almost exactly the same position as the average voter. …………


…….And everyone hated him . Perhaps there is scope for leadership after all.I have left out the Lib Dums who are seen as somewhat to the left of Labour but this spectrum does not work so well for them as they would see themselves as Libertarian Socialists ( hence Lib Dum !).People are just starting to notice just what trouble they are in with all their supposed territory eaten away. ....


Neologism of the day- To feel " Mingy"- A sense of diffuse foreboding such as when foot steps follow you in the night , the shadow of a knife crosses the window , or your party starts forgiving drunks .....

More sexist news just in:'Millions of women may be jogging their way to sagging breasts as they set off on New Year fitness regimes without suitable bras, research suggests. Some 9.5 million British women could be irreversibly damaging their busts by exercising without a proper sports bra, the Portsmouth University team said' - The BBC Website. If anyone can think of a cushier gig than watching breasts jiggle around, I would like to know.

The Guilty Pleasure Of Simon Heffer

A fascinating little tale in private Eye this morning telling us that the Boy King Cameron actually went to professional thorn in the side ,Heffer`, Holiday home, to have it out with the Wagnerian foamer. During his holiday in Brittany last month, the Tory leader was having lunch with Lord Marland , ( Our splendid treasurer), who let slip that Hefferlump might be found in his time -share in Dinard.
Cameron hopped like furious Rumplestiltskin until the exasperated grandee agreed they would pay a visit to the camp curmudgeon’s eyrie, where , no doubt, Dave intended to remonstrate with him for continuing to be Brown’s useful idiot .

I have a feeling that confronted with the consequences of his irresponsibility Heffer might actually have shuffled like a shameful school boy before the golden one . Sadly there was nought but a bucket and spade and a Margaret Thatcher duvet set to show he had ever been there .He was motoring in the Bavarian Alps at the time dreaming , who knows what, in the land of the lederhosen and Nazi Party.


Simon Heffer does rather irritate me at times but there remains a guilty pleasure in reading his endlessly refreshed outrage. Today he is worrying away at the exclusion of Her Majesty from our Passports emboldened by the kindness shown by Gunter Verheugen in allowing us to use our own measurements ...oh god please give me gallons back please..... he puts it rather neatly

“ I am not a citizen of the bloody European Union except on a technicality. I am an Englishman and a subject of Her Majesty The Queen. I wish to remain that way and when I go abroad I wish that last point to be made abundantly clear on my Passport”.
Quite . Today there was an engaging moment of self deprecation.How about this for introducing his next point “ Just as I was moving into a hitherto unexplored region of apoplexy at this atrocity, however, something rather remarkable happened.......”

Hard not to like someone who writes like that isn’t it and with Cameron gearing up to force Brown onto the ropes on the EU constitution Mr. Heffer might actually be tempted to offer some support. Come on Heff, knuckle under,or we send the Boys round !
