Quote Of The Day

"We had token Tory Iain Dale on who could be relied upon to join in the BBC mockery of the Tea Party people in the States and true to form he lived down to expectations. (Hope the cheque is a good one, Iain) .... we have a Conservative joining with with Dame Helena Kennedy and Marr himself in denigrating those in the Tea Party. Let's see their faces on Wednesday morning ... A guilty Jew, a gay Conservative - the BBC picks its guests very carefully."

Vance on Dale on Marr

More here and the comments are very enlightening too, especially the one about the apparent criteria of how the BBC production staff choose their guests ;-)

The Consequences Of Living In The Westminster Village Bubble

What's been happening in the 'real' world totally eludes them, especially the effect on the lives of 'real' people who have unwittingly become entangled in the consequences of the UK's continuing membership of the EU.

Real bloggers have been aware of it for years so I particularly enjoyed the following three comments, which ably point out that fact, in the recent post of a Village Bubbletarian, HERE:

"Bet she [Theresa May] doesn't do a damn thing. Who in their right mind would agree to sign up to extend the "no evidence required" arrest warrant in the first place? I thought they said they would be repatriating laws, instead they have already signed away more of our rights. Don't worry though, fatboy Pickles is tackling the nuisance of too many road signs so the coalition is working and all is well."

Norton Folgate

"Sorry, Iain, but many of us bloggers saw this coming ages ago. The EU is nothing but a big-state, jobs-for-the-boys,(and girls), control-freak, neo-communist dictatorship for brainless, gravy-train politicians with a lust for power! When are the MSM going to start investigating our troughing politicians properly instead of faithfully parroting what they are told by those very same powers that be?"

Barking Spider

"What comes to mind is stable doors and horses. Because Dave has reneged on the Lisbon Treaty referendum when the country would have rejected Europe and all it's arrest warrants you are now regretting it's implications. Get real. Our politicians have betrayed this country and sold out on over a thousand years of history. This is the end of our independence, law making, traditions and the British way of life. Lisbon is the final act in the superstate jigsaw. It's self amending legislation from here on. If you don't know this already you are an idiot. What are you complaining about? When you supported Dave, you supported these warrants and much else besides."

Robert

Or perhaps I'm just being my normal Grumpy Old Twattish self.
Maybe I'm just being a little harsh?

Thank Fuck It's Friday [Part 6]

After the fucking shit bag of a week I've had, never has that saying been more welcome than today. Nothing major, I'm still breathing, but it's just been one little piece of shit after another which eventually covered me in a shower of stinking shit .... if you know what I mean.

Anyway, fuck all that, it's Friday and the weekend starts here and I've twat loads of posts that are waiting to be finished and posted. In the meantime, first up for tonight, I have managed to obtain an exclusive picture of the Fat Poof's new personal assistant, hurriedly making his way to FPHQ....

Tip of the saddle to our resident paparazzi, MicroDave, for managing to capture it ;-)

After I've taken a quick visit to my new favorite supplier of Mind Bleach, I'll be catching up with your emails and your comments from my last few posts ..... then I'll be putting the finishing touches to another #TFIF post. I warn you ... it's a piss boiler and a fucking half so you'd better start knocking back a few stiff ones now (so to speak) ;-)

Always Happy To Help Another Blogger

Oh .... ok then ..... if you insist.

The Brokeback Coalition

David Davis has been overheard by reporters repeating a description of the partnership between David Cameron and Nick Clegg as "The Brokeback Coalition", a phrase which he attributed to Lord Ashcroft.

Rather entertainingly, I thought I would remind you that, Davis is the much heralded hero and ex boss of conservative blogger Iain Dale. Oh, the irony of it all. Standby for the inevitable fat poof hissy fit, anytime soon ......

Perhaps I Should Apply

I really do have more than the necessary qualifications listed, having worked as a senior creative for one of the largest design, print and publishing companies in Europe and I'd love to see the look on their faces, when they ask if I also have an interest in politics.

"Well .... yes I do actually. In fact I have my own little blog which flirts with the in and outs of the political world, from time to time. You may even be familiar with it, having appeared in your very own 2009 Top Political Blog listings and it's also currently ranked in the Wikio Top 40. In fact, your boss has had the odd mention or two ... if I recall correctly."

Go on, go on!

"I'm the Grumpy Old Twat!"

NEXT!

Bwaahahaha News

"After the attack everyone was in good spirits . . . "
Oh dear, what a fucking shame!
(and it's not the first time either)


"I am afraid I totally underperformed in my speech . . . "
Thank fuck for that!
(and it's not the first time either, more like the 4th?)

Iain Dale Is A Perfect Example ++Update++

Iain Dale is being targeted by me as an example not because I dislike him but because he is one of the high profile examples, and also one of the most obvious. Just look at his 'stat porn' as he swings his handbag around in the fight for top slots in the blogosphere.

He is a perfect example of what?

A perfect example of why we need to roll back the upsurge in people wishing to become professional politicians, and we need to get back to politicians being there first for the people, secondly for the ideology and their convictions, thirdly for their party who may Govern as a whole, and lastly for themselves. It probably started before, but Blair looks likes he could have been the first to properly exploit politics for personal gain and status. Mandelson of course was with him and to a lesser degree Brown who is too much a slave to his failed and dishonest ideology of socialism.

These people, like Dale, have no real sense of loyalty to anything other than themselves and their desire to become one of the 'movers and shakers' of Westminster. Look at Dales blog from the past few months and his coverage of the sleazy and slimy fucker Alistair Campbell, or even Mandelson. His lack of attack of these men is marked and also he has created a system where he pushes left wing and Labour blogs; his daily dozen has probably been more pro Campbell and Labour, specifically, than Tory. Why? His links have followed this trend. Why?

The likes of Campbell, unelected, disliked, corrupt and beyond contempt, and without any real scruples, ran the Government into a war. How could a press officer write the justification and intelligence that took this country to war? Who gave him the power and authority to decide whether our troops and hundreds of thousands of others lived, died and got maimed? This fucking press officer who lorded over military, intelligence and political superiors? Not to mention moral superiors. The club and Westminster insider elite is what gave him the authority, and it is that same club and authority that the likes of Dale seeks.

He is a claimed Tory and wants to become a Tory MP, but you must ask ourself why such a high profile, in the media, Tory, can't attract support for a decent seat.

Most prospective politicians seem to have fallen into this category of wannabe. Modern prospective politicians are a pussy whipped fucking shadow of their former selves as they seek to become one of the club, and will do anything and dump anyone and any ideology to become one of the club. Blair did and many others did since 1997. They are trying to be nice and not rock the boat.

Could you see Thatcher laying down and taking the lies and deceit of Brown and Labour without a fight and saying nothing as she seeks to portray herself as a kindly and good soul who doesn't want politics to descend into personal attack and anarchy? Fucking right she wouldn't, but this is what the present Tory party and hierarchy do...no more ya boo politics for them, and that is exactly what Labour wants them to do. Soft and sorry bunch who need to fight back on Alistair Campbells terms, not suck his rhetorical cock and swallow his sperm like Dale does. The Tories need to take advice from people outside the Westminster bubble, people who don't necessarily crave being in that particular club but who believe in Tory values and hate socialism for the evil that it is. They might then get into the sort of electoral lead they should be in instead of languishing at a constant ten percent.

Dale, grow some fucking balls and chuck the pink handbag away and replace it with a pink wallet. Do you never wonder why such a high profile person can not get past being a failed PPC? Concentrate on being a Tory and attack Labour and their supporters then you will get into the Westminster club. People like Campbell will bring you down if it suits their purpose, so don't fete them as you have been doing.

Be a Tory first and politician second, though why should you listen to me? I'm only one of the fucking peasants outside the Westminster bubble so know fuck all.

Isn't that right?

Overtly Homophobic Number Plates

Here's something that should cheer up 'Whinge-a-lot' Dale after all the problems he's had this week.

The DVLA have pulled a couple of number plates, from a list of 1,600 that were due to be auctioned later this week, on the grounds that they were deemed to be offensive.

The agency were concerned about the number plates bearing an overtly, derogatory resemblance to the terms 'faggot' and 'dykes'.

Stonewall were quoted as saying "This kind of proactive action by the public authorities helps make Britain a more equal place".

Really?

In which case I would like to tell the DVLA that they are a bunch of over sensitive fucking killjoys and I will also remind you that G.O.T. remains overtly heterosexual and is more than happy to play the 'heterophobic card', if anyone were to take humpage with his penchant for front lady gardens . . . .

That is all.

Iain Dale On Facebook

Incidentally, just in case anyone from the Daily Mail is reading this,
G.O.T. is overtly heterosexual.

Go 4th & Multiply

So . . . . which are best?

Flatcaps or handbags?

There's only one way to find out.

Fiiiiigghhttt!!!!
