We need more capacity, but I can't understand why everyone is wedded to Heathrow, other than certain people with vested interests. Yes a feasibility study does have to be done on a new hub airport such as Boris Island. Heathrow is a lousy place for an airport - too close to a major population centre, too cramped to be easily expandable. Both Gatwick and Stansted are more pleasant to use. Heathrow also has poor public transport connections from anywhere other than London, which is no good for the major "national" airport, and the road connections are via the over capacity M3 and M25. Yes of course we need to start thinking out of the box. And think how much housing could be built on Heathrow if and when it can be closed.

Loved the defence debate.

When the Tories roll out Simon Weston you know that you are in trouble - scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Get Thatcher's cannon fodder on the podium to spout a load of c**p. Funny how Thatcher's favoured cannon fodder didn’t fire a single shoot in combat - but is some how a hero.

Further more he was ranting on about military funding. Didn’t all the Brit troops in the Falklands arrived on hastily commissioned white cunnard liners, because we had no proper transport ships.

Good to see Guido at Conference, even speaking at a Tory event.

That will be Gudio the Irish citizen, who doesn't live in the UK, or pays any tax in the UK, but makes his living in the UK via his Irish operation ...

Good job his skin is white or you lot would be going mental.

All true. Typical Tory Guido contributes nothing but complains about everything.

I'm awaiting your summary of the fringe meeting with David Davis with interest.

Overall a good man, whose absence from the Shadow Cabinet weakens Cameron's stance against the novice charge.

P.S. I don't think the Conservative's BofE plan stands up to scrutiny, but then again neither does Bush's (not enough money to do its stated aim). As for Gordon's plan - there are not enough expletives on the keyboard to describe it.

Interesting timing of the Bush announcement - 7.30am in the US. A bit early, even for the President surely. Or, am I suspicious enough to think that Herr Brown asked Bush to do him a small favour and time his announcement to coincide with Osborn's keynote speech?

Perhaps Gordon has learnt a bit of subtlety?

There was no mention last night on any of the news channels of the disgraceful way that the military covenant has been undermined.

Anon at 10.44 really is quite appaling. People have died for you because they believed in that convenant which this government has cynically undermined.

What have we come to when serving men and women who lay their lives on the line, get the same pay as a traffic warden. Where are our priorities? Where are the government's? I'd like some of the trolls on this blog to answer that one with any credibility.

Your time, and your government's time, will come and it is a stench in the nostrils of decent people that you can even mention Simon Weston's name in that way. You exemplify all that is wrong with this country and you and your masters should go, and go now!

It doesn't matter how much you wriggle and spin - the corpse is twitching and eventually, even if a general election isn't held till 2010, the stench of your rotting flesh will be an offence to all the decent people of this country and your name, and that of Gordon Brown, will be a byword for ignominy.

Even if the Tories do win - and although that seems likely it's by no means certain that they will have a workable overall majority - the idea that all seats will be safe is laughable.

I still cannot see the details of what David Cameron is offering and the trend of his policies runs against the views of all the Tories I have met over the years. I know you want to get back into power - I suppose that's why some Tories will say almost anything.....

And slating Simon Weston is beyond the pale or common courtesey - if you want to slag him off I suggest you do it to his face but could you let me know beforehand so I can the beers in and get a comfy seat (preferably outside so I can have a cigar too).

Even funnier, only last week Mike Whitby ( Tory Council Leader in Brum ) was complaining in The Birmingham Mail that central government interfered to much when it came to setting council tax levels; and he demanded more autonomy. Now he has the prospect of a Tory central government actually setting the actual rate. Floppy flop flop flop.

Labour troll - you know as well as anybody here the polls printed in the ZanuLab-controlled MMS are about as reliable as Gordon so-called "Brown" himself. I suspect a true opinion poll would put the Tories closer to 99% - but I'm sure newspapers and the Brown Broadcasting Corporation wouldn't refuse to report on such polls because their masters in Downing Street might be upset. Noooo....because the MMS in this country are COMPLETELY independent of ZanuLab, aren't they...

Fortunately, rigging a true election is not as easy as rigging a poll. The Tories will win a landslide at the next election, this corrupt, depraved Labour so-called "government" will be gone - and the Great British people will have their country back.

Then we have Iain Oakley, Spielman admitting that you can still lose, Boris still being a daft twat, one of you ardent supporter Guido being a complete air head freak . Not fogetting Obama heading for the white house. Seems McCain visit to Tories last year was a waste of time - the list goes on.

I am of course making that judgement from the content of your post. It is so infantile that a mature adult could not possibly have written it. As for taking up shipping from trade. This has occured in every conflict the world has ever known. There is no way or requirement to maintain a huge shipping fleet on the off chance it will be required. Even the Americans and Russians do not maintain enough shipping lift capacity to move their troops. Something else you should bear in mind before making pathetic juvenile comments such as yours is that we currently are the proud owners of more Admirals (41) than ships (40). Now get back to your homework and stop bothering the adults.

The David Davis event was great, the blogging one less so but it was smashing to see the lot of you up on stage like that.

Whoever it is slagging off the Tories for "using" Simon Weston; it seems clear to me that you did not actually see his speech. He absolutely made the most of his time at the podium and was brutally frank in his fears that an incoming Tory government would forget the issue. Definitely the most impassioned of yesterday's speeches (I haven't seen any of today's mind!)

Just ignore Draper - he's a prime prat.

If he represents the media face of Labour, more power to his arm. That sour, snivelling mug of his makes Ed Balls the new Paul Newman.

And what comes out of the gap between his nose and his chin - well, it fits in with the mug.

Simply ignore him - he's not worth the effort. The more I see of him, the more I see Labour's extinction at the next election.

Is sir john bull one of Draper's acolytes? He's extremely irritating and behaves like a leftie troll. Either that or someone trying to be funny and failing miserably. It makes me miss Gary Elsby.

Anon - whilst I kinda like Gideon I think holding him in anyway significant in getting Bush elected is err tenuous beyond belief and should have the tag - utter bollox.


Sorry for bursting your baloon, but facts are facts. Before being an MP Gideon Osbourne was a paid political advisor to George Bush's during his 1999-2000 election campaign.

The Tories and Bush and the Reps with McCain are joined at the hip ... fact

String what together?

Irony in its purest form.

String a ""sentence"" together.

possibly one of the most stupid idots i have ever heard. A man in his 40's. It was like listening to a misguided teenager, who should when 41 look back and squirm at video tape of themselves when 17. But Guido is still doing it.

Wanko - you're sayin that Gideon won the 2000 Presidential election???? You utter, utter, utter imbecile and I don't claim my worthless Zimbabwean 5 pounds.

Yo Derek Draper, no use in hiding behind anonymity. Your stupidity shows. It is for twits like you, I gave the speech attacking that Liverpool militant worm. With people like you on his side, no wonder Brown bottled it and is sulking inside that No10 bunker.

Iain,

I don't like comment moderation but with the RRU out in force I think it might be a good idea. Intelligent and well thought out left-wing comments are fine but there's a load of blatant winding up going on on this thread.

Can I quote Derek Draper with this?

"Funny how Thatcher's favoured cannon fodder didn’t fire a single shoot in combat - but is some how a hero." @10.44

Fuck it, I'm going to.

Iain, any chance of IP-tracing Anon @10:44. Would be great if that came from Labour HQ.

Iain, I've seen some disgusting comments here and on Guido...and I've made a few myself, but Anon @1044 takes the custard cream.


Assuming it's Dolly....and why shouldn't I? Draper, you are a pathetic travesty of a human being. I'll bet that took real balls to attack someone who put his life on offer.

Blair got re elected for the third time .... Milibands ,Vaz, Balls,Harperson , straw ,mandy ,and even the bloody chipmonk , also get re elected , ....the world is in financial meltdown , and people on here are knobbin off on on an 80's war , probably why the broon still thinks that he still has a chance to part the seas and lead us to his promised socialist screwed up utopia
...the voices told him so ....and the muppets who vote for him ... will let him get on with his self anointed job ....

Its all an empty toss ...and a pox on ALL POLItico's ....fed up with them all.... bast'ards

In 8 years time we will be having the same conversations about who ever is running the cons (and it wont be dave ,he will have been knifed , smaller balls than thatcher and too much like blair ....)

We need a minimum age of around 45 before any potential pig can put their snout in the public trough , So they will have a bit more realism to their political positions and more effin common sense
... no bastard "professional"politicos straight from student life and running the tea and coffee kitty to effin number 11.....
and we put them there ....what ..?

A crises of confidence my arse ...Its a crises of competence

May Dante's vision come true to every one of the tossers who have sat in the Westminster sty over the last 10 years

all of them

Burn !

"Dez - you're quite right - Gideon actually studied economics whilst Jonah did history"

Wrong. Osborne's degree was in Modern History. His knowledge of Economics is very limited. That is why Evan Davis in the Today programme this morning, after Osborne had been trying to belittle Cable and his economics views, said "Do you know as much economics as Vince Cable, George?". Osborne didn't know how to respond to that.

Anonymous @ 10.48 pm - what bollox! First Osborne did not try to belittle Cable, he simply said he disagreed with him on Northern Rock (fair point) Evan Davis then announced that people should vote for Vince Cable. An extraordinary breach of BBC rules on impartiality.

Wrinkled Weasel said...

The pure hatred of the Conservative Party was evident on Newsnight. Relegated to five minutes at the end, there was an interview with George Osborne and a minute's "analysis" from their political editor that amounted to "Labour have a small chance of pulling through due to the world financial crisis".

Emily Maitliss interrupted Osborne throughout. Her attitude was acrid adn truculent. Osborne was barely allowed to speak.

It seems to be all out war at the BBC against the Tories. No change there, then.

I have just cut and pasted some of the disgusting comments here and sent them off to my father. He's a labour man through and through and active in the party. But he is also an honourable man which is more than I can say about the pathetic trolls here today.

You don't get it do you ... we hate, detest, loathe and abhor you and your party. We hold you and your leader in deep contempt and the only thing that I am sorry about is that I will not be able to hang the lot of you from the lamp posts.

Now is it beginning to sink into you thick skulls you despicable sewer rats?
