Hazel Blears is not being honest. She is attempting to stop her rival harridan Harriet Hardhag's pathetic leadership 'bid'. If you want to get the full range of Britain's decline under NU Liebour, just contemplate the deluded glove-puppet Blears ( what a brilliant name, by the way ) and weep. Time for a military coup

But no-one I speak to in the Labour party seriously thinks we have any chance at all in the next election (nor the one after that, unless Cameron turns out to be even worse than we fear). That's why there's so little energy around at the moment - what's the point?

'honest hazel' that is too far.
Even Hazel is deluding herself about no 'clamour for a Conservative election victory.' She forgets her own party's history. No one was clambering for New Labour either - in '97 they rode a tidal wave of anti-government sentiment. The Tories will be very happy to ride another anti-government tidal wave into power.
No one should accept Hazel's re-writing of history especially those conservative commentators who decry a lack of Tory enthusiasm like they need people to worship the Tories before a Tory victory is truly deserved.

Blears is possibly partly being 'honest' and partly self serving' and partly doing down harman.
But if she really wants to be honest she will have to say browns whole paradigm for the last 12 years has been bunkum.
BTW - Brown has just been interviewed in his constituency and his suit looks as ill fitting as ever. This is my own personal barometer as to his mental state.
Oh and a union leader is also on TV 'not wanting to scaremonger' but is claiming a car plant has run out of money and is in danger of closing. If and when that happens it is going to be pretty disastrous.

Anonymous - you think Brown is a total liability? When did this penny drop?
If such a liability - why did 300+ labour MPs sign his nomination forms? What does that say for Labour or its MPs?
If such a liability why did Blair not sack him when he had the chance.
If such a liability why do not more labour people stand up for Britain and say all this?
You see my drift? Labour cocked up big time and whoever is a new leader is massively tainted by Brown and the way Labour threw out Blair and sleep walked into anointing Brown. No matter how it was (using typical Brownian smoke and mirrors tricks) disguised, the Labour Party allowed Brown to stage a putsch against Blair - and now you want to plead he is a 'liability' and that gets you off the hook??

They are soooooooooooo far out of touch with the reality on the ground in Great Britain that they actually do not know how fucked they are.
Delusional does not quite cover the state they are in - is there another word for delusional with knobs on?
Is anyone in the Neo Labour machine actually going to wake up & realise that the only possible way they could make a fist of the next election is to sack Brown & parachute in that nice Mr Blair.
Brown has destroyed any & all talent that could oppose him whilst he was digging the sand out from Tony & stealing his mandate - is it any wonder the front bench of Neo Labbour is bereft of any real talent?
Miliband? Intellectually & politically he is still in short trousers - & his arrogance & snobbery really turns off the voters.
Harman? No white person with any sense or access to the internet would vote for her - she has anti anglo saxon form & is now known for it amongst the little working class people who used to vote for Labour.
Straw? Mr Dhimmi of the Year for 5 years running? No chance.
Hoon? Don't be daft, he is a complete Hoon.
No, Blair is the only realistic option they have - & they should come out & admit that assassinating his career so early in his mandate after his third election win was suicidal & selfish in the extreme.
The multi millionaire fat cat recycled marxists that make up the Government front bench could not catch a cold on a flu farm, electorally speaking.
Anyway, when is the election? I will have to get a TV for that - a plethora of "Portillo" moments awaits.

Jade Goody to die before her wedding night
"The decision was also backed by Gordon Brown, who said during a constituency visit in Fife: "I think everybody is sad at the tragedy that’s befallen Jade Goody. Everyone who suffers cancer has the thoughts of me and I think the whole country over what they’ve got to go through."
Alex Hilton, in-house columnist and founder of Labour Home, reckons Mr Draper's made a mistake:
‘Political blogs are not the answer. We will have been successful when we get Andy Burnham commenting on knitting blogs, which have far more readers than political blogs. Go to where the people are, do not try to get the people where you are. But Derek does not yet understand that.'

Labour long ago purged itself of anything capable of introspection or self-criticism. Self-criticism doesn't fiddle the expenses claim. The cabinet ministers like Blears and others at the deep end of the trough can snout down enough in the next year (Wow! Just look at that Jackie Smith go!) to give themselves a comfortable retirement. She's positioning herself - shiftless bitches like her wouldn't know a hard-working family if they found it in their soup, far less care about them.
The place to look for dissent is in the back benches, among the droids who've never done an honest day's work in their lives and are terrified that they might have to give it a go soon. The cretinous twats are getting migraines trying to calculate what course has the best chance of keeping their curly little tails wagging at the trough - to Gordon, or not to Gordon?
And the bastards better not look to Scotland for salvation - the last poll put them third behind the Tories.

Let us imagine a poker game has been on for some time (12 years). The current lead player is fat and lazy by using his credit cards to pay for his bets. However he cards have maxed and he is using house credit to stay in the game. The old player is making more and more desperate bets to try to get ahead while we find the fresh new player is just sitting there quitley. The new boy is betting light (just enough to stay in the game) and not giving away his 'tell'. He watches the old player sink into such a state that the club have no other choice but to throw him out!

I've just received an e-mail from Number 10 titled "PM looks to G20 for economy deal"
Gordon Brown has stressed the importance of April's G20 summit in London in the bid to strike a "global deal" that will "speed up the recovery of the world economy".
Speaking at a press conference with Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi in Rome on Thursday, Mr Brown said that countries throughout the world had been "brought low" by the economic crisis. All nations needed to inject resources into their own economies and also agree on ways to reform international institutions, he said.
When Hazel Blears is the last person who knows what's going on and an ageing mod is their best bet for a new leader, you know they're utterly fucked.

Over the past 11 years Labour hasn't managed to get a grip on anything, other than spending inconceivably huge amounts of public money and grabbing every freebie and expense allowance going.

But nobody really wants to talk about removing the idiot because Labour are scared shitless of not appearing united. So for twelve years they've accepted that this bastard was going to take over and they can't get their heads around the fact that they have a choice!
Nobody has a fucking clue what'll happen once he's gone. Maybe somebody will start using their fucking brain for a change.
I just think that Labour supporters are going to look back and think, "What the fuck were we doing? The guy was clearly fucked in the head."

The Global Bargain is McBroon's planned Get Out Of Jail Free card. As I posted last night he needs Global Bargain ploy to work because...
"From the BBC: speaking at a joint press conference in Milan with Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi, Mr Brown defended Britain's levels of debt claiming it was one of the lowest of the major economies. "That is substantially lower than Germany, and France and America and Japan and Italy. So I can just say to you while every country is having to borrow to invest in the future, our national debt remains substantially lower than is the case in many other countries," he said.
And how does the Global Bargain work?
Mcbroon said "I believe that if each continent can work together to inject resources into their economies, all of these economies would be as severely fooked as ours and thus I will continue to be able to say what I said before".
Which was?
"That Britain's levels of debt is one of the lowest of the major economies, er...comparatively speaking of course." He continued "It's going to be a tough job but I'm yer man for it. After all remember that these twats also bought those AAA rated synthetic 'asset backed securities' laced with subprime loans that were created in America. So nay problem laddie".
So if the rest of the world's economies buy into the Global Bargain the UK stands a chance of being at worst another basket case amongst basket cases (and statistically maybe better than the next crock say) so everything is ok and McBroon remains the hero. But, crucially, if anyone does not take up the (poisoned) "challenge" then when it all goes tits up the Mcbroon is vindicated: "it wasnae me it was (insert country name) what did it".
It is all just positioning to try and survive politically; the underlying numbers or logic are meaningless to the tribal wankers that vote for them or indeed the illiterate/innumerate wankers or indeed the wankers who were 11 years old under the Tories last time round and their dad hated Thatch or indeed the ones they pay to vote for them, or indeed those other ones they just pay...
The Global Bargain needs to remain unstruck; unlike the McBroon.

Blears reveals the same agenda as the rest of the commie swine - main focus on the opposition and on stopping them rather than governing the country.
Labour are all about preventing the hated Tories coming to power or getting one over on them (not hard).
They talk as though no-one in this country supports the conservatives and that everyone thinks, like they do, that the conservatives do not deserve to win an election. If they could just show some respect for once and acknowledge that not everyone believes in their crappy, dystopian nightmare, that people are entitled to different opinions and entitled to support an alternative political party without it being characterised as evil, they might actually earn some respect.
Instead we have this constant Labour/BBC twitter class war anti-Tory claptrap bollocks from idiots like Blears (and McNulty on QT).

Blears says "I don't detect a serious clamour for a Conservative victory...". This point has been made many times over the last year or two, most often by Labour politicians or some sections of the media. The inference is that Brown and his party believe that because Cameron may not be everyone's cup of tea they still have some sort of chance at the next general election.
My guess is that Blears' proposition is probably right, more-or-less; people in general may not be dancing in the street at the prospect of a Tory government. Jeez, who's got cause to dance in the street about anything at the present time? Who's going to wait in rapture for the next government when we know we're in deep trouble for years to come. But where Blears and those of her ilk seem to have a blind-spot is harbouring a notion that because fever-pitch has not yet been reached for the Tories (nor, in truth, is it likely to be), in some way there is still a degree of patience with, or affection, or support for the Labour Party.
And Blears has to be wrong in this analysis (vain hope?). For the simple fact surely must be that the events of the fag-end of the Major government and the gross let-down of New Labour shortly after the heady days of 1997 and super-smooth, plausible Blair; allied to LibDems perpetually lurking ineffectually in the background, mean that in the foreseeable future no political party is likely to be welcomed with open arms - other than perhaps if the welcome may be engendered solely by a some sense of relief - by a battered and rightly cynical British public. Too many people after 1997 learned a powerful lesson after getting prematurely excited, by being a little too trusting, about a so-called new style of politics - 'the new day dawning' - only to suffer growing, bitter disappointment and, now, gnawing resentment.
The disillusionment with a surfeit of dishonesty, lies, sleaze, issues of expenses and snouts in troughs, cronyism, and incompetence is almost tangible. Where the majority of politicians are seen as egregious, self-seeking graspers, who's going to "clamour" for ANY party's election victory. Where's any sort of euphoria going to come from?
And Blears must understand that even if the Tories happen to be dubbed best worst party for the next government, it won't stop the landslide that will deservedly anihilate New Labour.
Remember this bollocks? "It will be a government that seeks to restore trust in politics in this country. That cleans it up, that decentralises it, that gives people hope once again that politics is and always should be about the service of the public" T. Blair. Acceptance speech 1997.
Maybe, Ms. Blears, No "serious clamour" yet for a conservative government, but, what is it currently, 72% of the country clamouring 'Labour - no thanks'?
Bet Cameron is glad he's Cameron and not Brown.

"Assuming a uniform swing, the following result would give Labour the most seats in a hung parliament, and therefore Brown would remain Prime Minister
Con 37% Lab 31% Lib 25 % Other 7%"

The cynic, in me, says this is a blatant attempt to be seen as a 'candidate' in any future leadership election.
Just remember that the Northern MP's had gathered around her the last time Brown's position was under discusion!
She is a terribly ambitious politician.

So the ginger dwarf has managed to unplug her nose from pillow biter Brown's arse and is now trying to put the bootee in.There's not one member of the government who could recognise the truth yet alone tell it. Where is Labour's answer to von Stauffenberg. Don't forget to leave the briefcase under the table to take out the bloated shit and the snorting swine around him.

Cooper: "Heck, yes, darling honeybunny, we have blown it, ain't we...?"
Blears: "'Bout bloody time cos all our money's dripping down the drain and we won't have any community to live and work in....maybe Cameron was right after all...?"
Brown: "Don't be daft. I have erm we shall overcome. When the wind stops blowing from America we will all be hardworking families with British jobs and the bankers won't be getting bonuses ever again, ever....I met the Pope you know, he was shorter than I imagined."
Mandelson: "Shut the fuck up you load of inebriated twats. What the fuck are you talking about, any of you? I'm not here to make up the numbers you fucking clowns.

Submariner at 3.10pm; the numbers as presented would result as follows: ZaNuLab 279 seats, Tories 274, Libs 67, Others 12 and Northern Ireland 18. Model is here if you fill in the blanks. Yes it is crap isn't it.
ZaNuLab would be leading but 47 seats short of a majority so McBroon will cling onto office initially for a period to allow him to form coalition or to see if he could limp on and survive say the Queen's Speech, or indeed do a deal (even if not coalition) with another party to allow him to survive longer.
Queen could kill him off apparently but I suspect the country would resemble a war zone by then anyway and he would be bunkered or avoiding gangs of men carrying rope.
A troubling scenario nonetheless.
We should do our duty and precipitate his early demise by supporting this Petition and hoping that ZaNuLab knives will do the rest, rather than allow these morons time to regroup and bribe the bribeable parts of the electorate using YOUR money for their personal ends.
If McMoron gets elected I will be on the first plane out.

What? Has the Ginger Midget had a Damascene moment? Unfortunately, however good the soundbite, Labour have shown themselves to be 99.999%lying, thieving cunts that would be so much improved by a close encounter with a length of piano wire. So even if she is sincere, no-one will believe her. Nice try, Sunshine but where were you when that fuckwit imbecile became unelected PM? Looking out for the interests of the British voters?

My dearest colleagues, nay comrades, let us be clear. We fucked up.
We came into power wanting to be whiter than white and within six months had sold out to the tobacco industry.
We populated the country with immigrants who want to blow us up.
We've turned the beacon of freedom into a torturers' brazier.
We led Britain into a pointless war in Iraq based on lies.
We led Britain into a police action in Afghanistan expecting not a single shot to be fired and now we find we're in another endless war.
We sucked up to the rich and were corrupted by the proximity of wealth.
We poured billions into the NHS only to spend most of it on Drs' salaries while super-bugs kill thousands more than road accidents.
We've made it illegal for parents and teachers to effectively discipline their children and so raised a generation of knife-wielding illiterates.
We've turned Britain into an Orwellian nightmare of CCTVs and anti-terrorism law abuse by everyone from the plod to local councils.
We've introduced thousands of new laws and made it illegal for the self-employed to smoke a cigarette in their own vehicles.
We've killed the car industry by over-arching car-tax (VED) planned increases.
We've killed the public house industry by over-taxing alcohol, stifling live music and the smoking ban.
We sold out our I.T. industry to India.
We've killed our finance industry through overly complex and ineffectual regulation.
We've smothered employers in red tape.
We've ruined education and made it impossible for the next generation to compete against their foreign peers.
We've stolen, and wasted, billions from pension funds.
We've created the most expensive trains in Europe.
We've brought Britain to the very edge of bankruptcy.
I say to you all....

Mandy’s diary
Gah! My ears are nearly burnt off. Bepe from the Vatican has been on and he was absolutely incandescent with rage. Apparently Gordon put the screws on the Holy Father to attend the G20 and then went out and announced it as if it was a done deal. “Bepe” I begged, trying to smooth him down “but we agreed, if Gordon said anything the H.F. didn’t want to hear, he was to pretend to no speeka da lingo and shrug. That’s what Sarkozy does, and it works. In fact, it’s probably true – I doubt he understands more than one in five words Gordon says.”
Bepe was having none of it. “I holda you responsible. You sent-a da video of da White Heather Club and da Holy Father, he take-a his multiculturalism vera vera serious, an-da next thing, whadda you know, he’s sayin’ my friend Antonius is from-a Scotchland, och aye da noo. And what is och aye da noo? It is confirmation, agreement, is booked.”
I called Alistair, who jogged over to gloat. He came in, picking his teeth with a flick knife. “Told you not to do G-d” he sneered, rubbing his musk glands on my new cocktail cabinet to try to claim the territory “Brenda will be livid – she’s the Supreme Governor of the church here, you know. Bit of a dust-up called the Reformation”. Yes, I know, I know – I checked the small print on her website - but how was I to know Gordon would start talking out of turn as soon as he got out of giving the Pope an audience? Ali lifted up his sweat-soaked running vest and fanned his belly thoughtfully so I could see he had a six pack. “Tell the Vatican to put out a statement that a Papal visit is likely to go ahead at some unspecified time, but make it clear there is nothing arranged at present.” “Thanks, Ali, you’re a pal” “Think nothing of it, Pete” Bastard.
I had just opened my new retro-chic walnut cocktail cabinet for a soother when the door burst open. At first I thought it was the wind, but it turned out that Hazel was in the room, bobbing up and down and chittering “I’d love a Babycham”. Yes, she probably would. I poured her some Tizer and told her it was pink champagne. “Ooooh luvli” she gurgled, sucking the cherry on a cocktail stick and being vastly amused by the little ballerina which goes round and is reflected in the internal mirrors when the light comes on automatically as the split-lid is opened. “What are we gonna do, Pete?”
“Well, for a start, my name is Peter, and for seconds, kindly clean my cocktail cabinet as it seems to have something odiferous on it. You can’t possibly have spent all your life tap-dancing on pub counters for pennies without learning a few things about polishing woodwork.” Really, these people.

History will write the main outcome of this recession will be a GLOBAL GLUT of EMPLOYEES.
All that really matters is rates of employment. Pay people alot more and house prices go up alot more.
High employment globally has been sustained through debt. That bubble has now burst. I think we're looking at a 5-10% drop in global employment levels if the recession lasts as long as economists are predicting.
In five years time global unemployment will be up to 10% if the slack is taken up by cheap labour, with a 15% unemployment rate in the West. Alternately global unemployment will be up to 15% if the slack is taken up by high western labour costs, with a 10% unemployment rate in the UK.
It will take 15 years to recover and in that time we will need to protect our jobs.

Everything New Labour has done is literally by the book! Or books in this case. Labour's hidden agenda - I mean manifesto - was written eighty years ago.

protectionism is a socialist solution it's nothing to do with the right. Obama is a protectionist and he ain't on the right.
The BNP is a socialist party and a nationalist party, not a party of the right.
White workers have been let down by all parties, but partly it's because up to now, they don't get involved in politics much and if they do it's mainly on the socialist side.
Britain could stop immigration and even asylum if it wanted to, but you can't prevent companies getting stuff manufactured in cheaper parts of the world.

Even Hazel is deluding herself about no 'clamour for a Conservative election victory.' She forgets her own party's history. No one was clambering for New Labour either - in '97 they rode a tidal wave of anti-government sentiment. The Tories will be very happy to ride another anti-government tidal wave into power.
No one should accept Hazel's re-writing of history especially those conservative commentators who decry a lack of Tory enthusiasm like they need people to worship the Tories before a Tory victory is truly deserved.
But if she really wants to be honest
she will have to say browns whole paradigm for the last 12 years has been bunkum.
BTW - Brown has just been interviewed in his constituency and his suit looks as ill fitting as ever. This is my own personal barometer as to his mental state.
Oh and a union leader is also on TV 'not wanting to scaremonger' but is claiming a car plant has run out of money and is in danger of closing. If and when that happens it is going to be pretty disastrous.
She deserves to be kicked to death
Coming soon, BBC report live from the lower part of the sinking titanic, where deckchair numbers have increased due to sliding around the ship.
Oh, and the ship started its journey in America
When did this penny drop?
If such a liability - why did 300+ labour MPs sign his nomination forms? What does that say for Labour or its MPs?
If such a liability why did Blair not sack him when he had the chance.
If such a liability why do not more labour people stand up for Britain and say all this?
You see my drift?
Labour cocked up big time and whoever is a new leader is massively tainted by Brown and the way Labour threw out Blair and sleep walked into anointing Brown. No matter how it was (using typical Brownian smoke and mirrors tricks) disguised, the Labour Party allowed Brown to stage a putsch against Blair - and now you want to plead he is a 'liability' and that gets you off the hook??
In your dreams. You have made your bed - now you can wet yourself in it.
Delusional does not quite cover the state they are in - is there another word for delusional with knobs on?
Is anyone in the Neo Labour machine actually going to wake up & realise that the only possible way they could make a fist of the next election is to sack Brown & parachute in that nice Mr Blair.
Brown has destroyed any & all talent that could oppose him whilst he was digging the sand out from Tony & stealing his mandate - is it any wonder the front bench of Neo Labbour is bereft of any real talent?
Miliband? Intellectually & politically he is still in short trousers - & his arrogance & snobbery really turns off the voters.
Harman? No white person with any sense or access to the internet would vote for her - she has anti anglo saxon form & is now known for it amongst the little working class people who used to vote for Labour.
Straw? Mr Dhimmi of the Year for 5 years running? No chance.
Hoon? Don't be daft, he is a complete Hoon.
No, Blair is the only realistic option they have - & they should come out & admit that assassinating his career so early in his mandate after his third election win was suicidal & selfish in the extreme.
The multi millionaire fat cat recycled marxists that make up the Government front bench could not catch a cold on a flu farm, electorally speaking.
Anyway, when is the election? I will have to get a TV for that - a plethora of "Portillo" moments awaits.

with input like that I'm not surprised your blogs are so shit.
"The decision was also backed by Gordon Brown, who said during a constituency visit in Fife: "I think everybody is sad at the tragedy that’s befallen Jade Goody. Everyone who suffers cancer has the thoughts of me and I think the whole country over what they’ve got to go through."
Jack Straw also jumps on bandwagon
‘Political blogs are not the answer. We will have been successful when we get Andy Burnham commenting on knitting blogs, which have far more readers than political blogs. Go to where the people are, do not try to get the people where you are. But Derek does not yet understand that.'
Alex Hilton is off the pace. Only yesterday I dropped into Iknitblog to counsel Mandy from Salford on the right length of needles to knit a matinée jacket for her pride and joy, little Asbo. The answer, for all you creative single mums out there is:
Seven inches.
I'm a Labour member and have tried to ask LabourList to allow some free talk. Most party members (I'm in Tower Hamlets) outside Scotland think Brown is a total liability and that we risk the party being ruined at the next election. That's not even healthy for democracy, yet alone Labour. But LL just won't allow any talk about whether Brown and others in the parliamentary party are fit to lead us. Until we confront these weaknesses, we're doomed.
Face it, Cameron is a lightweight but he's able to get a 20% lead just because Brown is going didlo.
-----
What does a being a 'lightweight' mean? Does it mean that Brown is a 'heavyweight', if so what does that mean...perhaps it means that he has deep, thought out policies... what total shite, he has one agenda only and that is socialism by stealth.
We want less government, efficient government, not indoctrination and buying everlasting power with our own money!!

The whole country knows that Brown took us from boom to bust. The truth about brown is in the public domain. Labour's only hope is to find a new leader who is not associated with Brown's gross negligence on the British economy and Hazel knows it. No she ain't being honest.
Second, The expression 'British people' is their code for 'Labour voters'. Remember in their twisted world if you don't vote Labour you are a class enemy.
Everyone I know has made up their minds. She's right, there's no clamouring for the Conservatives but people are resigned to the fact they have no real choice. Labour is gone.
Gordon Brown has stressed the importance of April's G20 summit in London in the bid to strike a "global deal" that will "speed up the recovery of the world economy".
Speaking at a press conference with Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi in Rome on Thursday, Mr Brown said that countries throughout the world had been "brought low" by the economic crisis. All nations needed to inject resources into their own economies and also agree on ways to reform international institutions, he said.
He really is deranged, isn't he?
Only a "trained" clinical psychotherapist can help him now!
Over the past 11 years Labour hasn't managed to get a grip on anything, other than spending inconceivably huge amounts of public money and grabbing every freebie and expense allowance going.
The economy, taxes, education, the NHS, immigration, social cohesion, public transport, the public sector, devolution, welfare dependency, constitutional reform, foreign policy - everything is absolutely ****ed up. They are all too busy running around trying to find another Tory to smear as a racist to actually think about the state they've got this country in.
I've been badmouthing Gordon Brown for days on Labour List. I don't think anybody has tried to stop me.
Worst of all, nobody seems to disagree. They don't want to talk about it, they just repeat their party slogans and disappear.
But nobody really wants to talk about removing the idiot because Labour are scared shitless of not appearing united. So for twelve years they've accepted that this bastard was going to take over and they can't get their heads around the fact that they have a choice!
Nobody has a fucking clue what'll happen once he's gone. Maybe somebody will start using their fucking brain for a change.
I just think that Labour supporters are going to look back and think, "What the fuck were we doing? The guy was clearly fucked in the head."
I wouldn't be surprised if this kills Labour dead. If tribalism weren't alive and well in this country it probably already would have.
Maybe this is a flag waved (from under the table) to prove she is still there.
"coo-ey! What about me?
And don't I just look more and more like Barbara Castle!"
Oh I love these lying filth.

I doubt many people who actually follow what is going on would argue Gordon Brown is any good. The man is a gigantic failure, as is all of New Labour. That doesn't mean Cameron is any good. It just means he is untested and can't be any more of a disaster. I wish the Tories would sort themselves out and actually put up an A team instead of a B team who look good because they are playing the local kindergarten.

I love this site but I have to be careful I don't log onto Nick's blog on the BBC and say something like...
"...and as for that Yvette Cooper, I'd like to remove her head with a chainsaw and then piss on the bloody stump"
"From the BBC: speaking at a joint press conference in Milan with Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi, Mr Brown defended Britain's levels of debt claiming it was one of the lowest of the major economies. "That is substantially lower than Germany, and France and America and Japan and Italy. So I can just say to you while every country is having to borrow to invest in the future, our national debt remains substantially lower than is the case in many other countries," he said.
And how does the Global Bargain work?
Mcbroon said "I believe that if each continent can work together to inject resources into their economies, all of these economies would be as severely fooked as ours and thus I will continue to be able to say what I said before".
Which was?
"That Britain's levels of debt is one of the lowest of the major economies, er...comparatively speaking of course." He continued "It's going to be a tough job but I'm yer man for it. After all remember that these twats also bought those AAA rated synthetic 'asset backed securities' laced with subprime loans that were created in America. So nay problem laddie".
So if the rest of the world's economies buy into the Global Bargain the UK stands a chance of being at worst another basket case amongst basket cases (and statistically maybe better than the next crock say) so everything is ok and McBroon remains the hero. But, crucially, if anyone does not take up the (poisoned) "challenge" then when it all goes tits up the Mcbroon is vindicated: "it wasnae me it was (insert country name) what did it".
It is all just positioning to try and survive politically; the underlying numbers or logic are meaningless to the tribal wankers that vote for them or indeed the illiterate/innumerate wankers or indeed the wankers who were 11 years old under the Tories last time round and their dad hated Thatch or indeed the ones they pay to vote for them, or indeed those other ones they just pay...
The Global Bargain needs to remain unstruck; unlike the McBroon.
You are a master of the understatement. Liebour are toast.
They will never form a government ever ever again after the next general election.
"Don't be daft, it's just another photo-op."

They talk as though no-one in this country supports the conservatives and that everyone thinks, like they do, that the conservatives do not deserve to win an election. If they could just show some respect for once and acknowledge that not everyone believes in their crappy, dystopian nightmare, that people are entitled to different opinions and entitled to support an alternative political party without it being characterised as evil, they might actually earn some respect.
Instead we have this constant Labour/BBC twitter class war anti-Tory claptrap bollocks from idiots like Blears (and McNulty on QT).
Hazel Blears is a complete cunt, an escapee of a freak show, a demented power crazed dwarf.
She deserves to be kicked to death
----------------------------------
Window-licker.
Brain-dead.
Grow up.
My guess is that Blears' proposition is probably right, more-or-less; people in general may not be dancing in the street at the prospect of a Tory government. Jeez, who's got cause to dance in the street about anything at the present time? Who's going to wait in rapture for the next government when we know we're in deep trouble for years to come. But where Blears and those of her ilk seem to have a blind-spot is harbouring a notion that because fever-pitch has not yet been reached for the Tories (nor, in truth, is it likely to be), in some way there is still a degree of patience with, or affection, or support for the Labour Party.
And Blears has to be wrong in this analysis (vain hope?). For the simple fact surely must be that the events of the fag-end of the Major government and the gross let-down of New Labour shortly after the heady days of 1997 and super-smooth, plausible Blair; allied to LibDems perpetually lurking ineffectually in the background, mean that in the foreseeable future no political party is likely to be welcomed with open arms - other than perhaps if the welcome may be engendered solely by a some sense of relief - by a battered and rightly cynical British public. Too many people after 1997 learned a powerful lesson after getting prematurely excited, by being a little too trusting, about a so-called new style of politics - 'the new day dawning' - only to suffer growing, bitter disappointment and, now, gnawing resentment.
The disillusionment with a surfeit of dishonesty, lies, sleaze, issues of expenses and snouts in troughs, cronyism, and incompetence is almost tangible. Where the majority of politicians are seen as egregious, self-seeking graspers, who's going to "clamour" for ANY party's election victory. Where's any sort of euphoria going to come from?
And Blears must understand that even if the Tories happen to be dubbed best worst party for the next government, it won't stop the landslide that will deservedly anihilate New Labour.
Remember this bollocks? "It will be a government that seeks to restore trust in politics in this country. That cleans it up, that decentralises it, that gives people hope once again that politics is and always should be about the service of the public"
T. Blair. Acceptance speech 1997.
Maybe, Ms. Blears, No "serious clamour" yet for a conservative government, but, what is it currently, 72% of the country clamouring 'Labour - no thanks'?
Bet Cameron is glad he's Cameron and not Brown.
The astonishing thing is that this difference is so small.

"Using tools provided by UK Poll Monitor:
"Assuming a uniform swing, the following result would give Labour the most seats in a hung parliament, and therefore Brown would remain Prime Minister
Con 37%
Lab 31%
Lib 25 %
Other 7%"
Little Miss Grin and Spin, don't trust a word she says.
Just remember that the Northern MP's had gathered around her the last time Brown's position was under discusion!
She is a terribly ambitious politician.
it has to be a "Mussolini moment"....
I know you love Blears, I saw it in your eyes. I was there.
Love and kisses.
Where is Labour's answer to von Stauffenberg. Don't forget to leave the briefcase under the table to take out the bloated shit and the snorting swine around him.
Millipede: "I will, It takes a brave man, like me, to say that we are sorry for all the managerial inaccuracies of our government"
Balls: "Hang on a minute, we have made mistakes, even the missus and me, so we are really sorry about letting your kids down, aren't we love..?"
Cooper: "Heck, yes, darling honeybunny, we have blown it, ain't we...?"
Blears: "'Bout bloody time cos all our money's dripping down the drain and we won't have any community to live and work in....maybe Cameron was right after all...?"
Brown: "Don't be daft. I have erm we shall overcome. When the wind stops blowing from America we will all be hardworking families with British jobs and the bankers won't be getting bonuses ever again, ever....I met the Pope you know, he was shorter than I imagined."
Mandelson: "Shut the fuck up you load of inebriated twats. What the fuck are you talking about, any of you? I'm not here to make up the numbers you fucking clowns. I want to make as much as I can out of this fucking catastrophy. Gordon, you fuckwit, we're going global here, we can take the lot, all of it. I mean we can fucking clean up. Expenses will be cats pee compareed to what we can do in Europe and the Middle East. Fuck! What's got into you lot? Not a bloody election due is there? Cos I'm okay, I don't need one....TraLala....Fuck me!!!!!
ZaNuLab would be leading but 47 seats short of a majority so McBroon will cling onto office initially for a period to allow him to form coalition or to see if he could limp on and survive say the Queen's Speech, or indeed do a deal (even if not coalition) with another party to allow him to survive longer.
Queen could kill him off apparently but I suspect the country would resemble a war zone by then anyway and he would be bunkered or avoiding gangs of men carrying rope.
A troubling scenario nonetheless.
We should do our duty and precipitate his early demise by supporting this Petition and hoping that ZaNuLab knives will do the rest, rather than allow these morons time to regroup and bribe the bribeable parts of the electorate using YOUR money for their personal ends.
If McMoron gets elected I will be on the first plane out.
We came into power wanting to be whiter than white and within six months had sold out to the tobacco industry.
We populated the country with immigrants who want to blow us up.
We've turned the beacon of freedom into a torturers' brazier.
We led Britain into a pointless war in Iraq based on lies.
We led Britain into a police action in Afghanistan expecting not a single shot to be fired and now we find we're in another endless war.
We sucked up to the rich and were corrupted by the proximity of wealth.
We poured billions into the NHS only to spend most of it on Drs' salaries while super-bugs kill thousands more than road accidents.
We've made it illegal for parents and teachers to effectively discipline their children and so raised a generation of knife-wielding illiterates.
We've turned Britain into an Orwellian nightmare of CCTVs and anti-terrorism law abuse by everyone from the plod to local councils.
We've introduced thousands of new laws and made it illegal for the self-employed to smoke a cigarette in their own vehicles.
We've killed the car industry by over-arching car-tax (VED) planned increases.
We've killed the public house industry by over-taxing alcohol, stifling live music and the smoking ban.
We sold out our I.T. industry to India.
We've killed our finance industry through overly complex and ineffectual regulation.
We've smothered employers in red tape.
We've ruined education and made it impossible for the next generation to compete against their foreign peers.
We've stolen, and wasted, billions from pension funds.
We've created the most expensive trains in Europe.
We've brought Britain to the very edge of bankruptcy.
I say to you all....
"Whoops"

Gah! My ears are nearly burnt off. Bepe from the Vatican has been on and he was absolutely incandescent with rage. Apparently Gordon put the screws on the Holy Father to attend the G20 and then went out and announced it as if it was a done deal. “Bepe” I begged, trying to smooth him down “but we agreed, if Gordon said anything the H.F. didn’t want to hear, he was to pretend to no speeka da lingo and shrug. That’s what Sarkozy does, and it works. In fact, it’s probably true – I doubt he understands more than one in five words Gordon says.”
Bepe was having none of it. “I holda you responsible. You sent-a da video of da White Heather Club and da Holy Father, he take-a his multiculturalism vera vera serious, an-da next thing, whadda you know, he’s sayin’ my friend Antonius is from-a Scotchland, och aye da noo. And what is och aye da noo? It is confirmation, agreement, is booked.”
I called Alistair, who jogged over to gloat. He came in, picking his teeth with a flick knife. “Told you not to do G-d” he sneered, rubbing his musk glands on my new cocktail cabinet to try to claim the territory “Brenda will be livid – she’s the Supreme Governor of the church here, you know. Bit of a dust-up called the Reformation”. Yes, I know, I know – I checked the small print on her website - but how was I to know Gordon would start talking out of turn as soon as he got out of giving the Pope an audience?
Ali lifted up his sweat-soaked running vest and fanned his belly thoughtfully so I could see he had a six pack. “Tell the Vatican to put out a statement that a Papal visit is likely to go ahead at some unspecified time, but make it clear there is nothing arranged at present.”
“Thanks, Ali, you’re a pal”
“Think nothing of it, Pete”
Bastard.
I had just opened my new retro-chic walnut cocktail cabinet for a soother when the door burst open. At first I thought it was the wind, but it turned out that Hazel was in the room, bobbing up and down and chittering “I’d love a Babycham”. Yes, she probably would. I poured her some Tizer and told her it was pink champagne. “Ooooh luvli” she gurgled, sucking the cherry on a cocktail stick and being vastly amused by the little ballerina which goes round and is reflected in the internal mirrors when the light comes on automatically as the split-lid is opened. “What are we gonna do, Pete?”
“Well, for a start, my name is Peter, and for seconds, kindly clean my cocktail cabinet as it seems to have something odiferous on it. You can’t possibly have spent all your life tap-dancing on pub counters for pennies without learning a few things about polishing woodwork.” Really, these people.
All that really matters is rates of employment. Pay people alot more and house prices go up alot more.
High employment globally has been sustained through debt. That bubble has now burst. I think we're looking at a 5-10% drop in global employment levels if the recession lasts as long as economists are predicting.
In five years time global unemployment will be up to 10% if the slack is taken up by cheap labour, with a 15% unemployment rate in the West. Alternately global unemployment will be up to 15% if the slack is taken up by high western labour costs, with a 10% unemployment rate in the UK.
It will take 15 years to recover and in that time we will need to protect our jobs.

It explains the lot. The grab for power, the destruction of free enterprise, the control of the banks, the lowering of interest rates, dumbing down, the big gold reserves sell off, the gradual loss of free speech and liberty. Everything.
Everything New Labour has done is literally by the book! Or books in this case. Labour's hidden agenda - I mean manifesto - was written eighty years ago.
Sorry for preaching to the informed section of bloggers but there's a lot of people out there that have never heard of Keynesism or what it is.
Pensions
2009 New Labour isn't working
Conclusion :
Labour doesn't work.
Never has done.
Never will do.
it already happened. Their is a huge oversupply of labour in the world especially from india and china HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of cheap workers and productions mechanisms are now available.
That means globalization has attacked and totally destroyed the value of human work.
If you have to compete for your job globally YOU WILL LOSE IT - the price of the work you and 90% of britons do HAS TOTALLY COLLAPSED -- this is a GOOD thing under the mad logic of FREE MARKET CAPITALISM
fucking nuts
protectionism is coming back -- a huge swing far to the right-- you tories might all find it unpalatable now, but when your daughter is forced to prostitute herself for money in hackney, you will admit I am right
even the herald tribune agrees with me.
WILL YOU WORK AT CHINESE, INDIAN RATES OF PAY?
thats what global economies brings.
protectionism is the only solution
protectionism is a socialist solution it's nothing to do with the right. Obama is a protectionist and he ain't on the right.
The BNP is a socialist party and a nationalist party, not a party of the right.
White workers have been let down by all parties, but partly it's because up to now, they don't get involved in politics much and if they do it's mainly on the socialist side.
Britain could stop immigration and even asylum if it wanted to, but you can't prevent companies getting stuff manufactured in cheaper parts of the world.
Lovely Jubbly.
