This is probably the most bizarre Miniserial appointment since Alan Clark was appointed to the same position. Ian McCartney is barely comprehensible to people in this country so God alone knows what our trading partners are going to make of him. It's said this his best mate John Prescott secured him the job as a consolation prize for losing the Party Chairmanship. Makes you proud to be British, doesn't it?

Ian McCartney is our New Trade Minister

Aww come now, what did SuperMac ever do to you?
And he's only a minister again, anyway.
I shouldn't, but he does look like some kind of nasty industrial accident, doesn't he?
he's just picking names out of a hat isn't he?
Now come on, you've deliberately squashed that picture to make him look silly, haven't you?
Prezza without the sex appeal.
"Never were abilities so much below mediocrity so well rewarded; no, not when Caligula's horse was made Consul."
He looks like an extra from Lord of the rings.
I used to think all those UFO spotters and alien abduction "victims" were from the loonie wing of the tinfoil hat party. Looking at that picture I can see I was wrong; aliens do exist and they are walking amongst us.
You say he speaks uninteligably too? Well that just proves it.

I thought you deleted trolls from the blog?
Comment on Guido mentions 'jockroaches', and here's a prime example.
Any news on what junior ministerial appointments we can expect?
My brother and I were discussing funny Labour politicians the other night and I could not remember Ian McCartney's name...''...the one that looks like a vagrant they have just pulled off the bench in the High Street, white lightening and all'' I remarked. Immediately, my bro got it and reminded me of the man's name! LOL
"jockroaches"? Come on, Iain, I know you're an passionate supporter of English votes for English laws (or is it an English Parliament, I can't remember), but are you really happy allowing your fan club to describe fellow citizens of the United Kingdom in this way? English votes for English laws is a perfectly correct policy but sometimes the postings on this site are just fit for the gutter.
Anonymous, have you ever heard of the concept of freedom of speech?
Freedom of speech, sure. But would you be happy to approve posts on your blog insinuating that Blacks, Muslims or any other group were 'cockroaches'? How about posts referring to homosexuals as 'fagroaches', would that be acceptable as freedom of speech?
