"David, you're the only one who can be trusted to be the heir to my beloved
Tony. Only you will see through his marvellous works. If I can be of any help,
any help whatsoever, you know you can count on me..."
My panel was split on what David Cameron's response should be. Mine consisted of two words, the second one of which was 'off'.
NO! NO! NO! There isn't a spoon long enough
ReplyDeleteAuntie Flo'
No problem - go for it - slightly tricky seat though - Scotland - Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no way on God's earth that Cameron would win my vote if he gets into bed with Prince Of Darkness. I would go back to the Lib Dems. This man is the architect of the huge damage that's been done to our country.
ReplyDeleteHe should be prosecuted for treason and never allowed to return from the EU. We do NOT want this England hater in England - not even in the House of Lords.

SHOCK NEWS
ReplyDeleteThe UK is in the EU
You might remember the last Prime Minister? Dull grey chap? Spent a lot of time hanging out the back of Edwina Currie?
Yeah he had problems with that too.

You really have to be sooo careful that a selective quotation might be used by the MSM and then goodness knows what might happen!
Bitch.
ReplyDeletehBOF2BS gets into bed with Prince Of Darkness and then...mm goodness knows what might happen!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your advice about selective quotations, hbOF2BS, you are sooooo right :)

Meanwhile back in the Gulf, Tone has got the Royal Navy to pose as the Lichtenstein Navy, leaving our service men and women to swing in the wind.
ReplyDeleteIf Tone is going to set the Rules of Engagement like this
1. Why don't we just send the Isle of Wright ferry with a crew of pacifists to police the Gulf, not a pounds 500m war ship, with some (now) highly demoralised seamen.
2. Why not pull the lads out - there's now no point in them being there.
To me, these events are signally to the world the end of our civilisation: our elite can no longer stomach a fight - what if some foreign power comes up the Thames and captures a tourist boat - will our foreign secretary give them and say: "naughty, naughty!"?
I never thought it would come to this; but I'm starting to wonder if its time to live in the US?
No, no, no. He should't be allowed to defect, he is a defect.
ReplyDeleteWe have been here before. Time and the Con ways. Groundhog day. PM cosying to DC to keep his posting in Brussels with his bijou flat and expansive country seat ... that was it. TB getting put up for Lords by DC if GB won't do it was one of my predictions. PM to Tories could have been.

Iain,
ReplyDeleteExposed at last - you're a closet "Swear Blogger"!
Confession time on my part now....
I posted a slightly catty comment, last week, about a posting you made "from my Blackberry." I noticed that you deleted the entire entry soon afterwards.
The truth is that my XDA went into self-destruct early last week. It was just jealousy...sorry!
The 8800 is on order.
I make a very nice blackberry jam when the blackberries come into season.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Prince of Darkness' has that title for a reason. He wanted to shit on the BBC from a great height. He was the one who went so ballistic when inadvertently outed by Matthew Parris, that not even Have I Got News For You could mention his name for weeks afterwards. He is the classic example of the 'power corrupts' aphorism and is a nasty, vindictive old toxic shit bag who is far better off time-serving in the EU. We don't want that fucker back in Britain anytime in the next century. He even lied to the Guardian about his last interview.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right, Iain. Peter Mandelson should be sent as the UK's Ambassador to Pluto. You could be forgiven for having that response to him in normal conversation, let alone offering to defect. I can think of plenty of people who'd throw strret parties if he did, but suffice to say, they're all paid-up members of the red party.
ReplyDeleteTory lead cut from 11% to 4% in a poll in the Independent.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone defect to a bunch of opportunistic no-hopers?
"Nihilist off"...?
ReplyDeleteI guess you'd know better than me.
ReplyDeleteAin't no church broad enough. Don't we need a consul in Ulan Bator?
ReplyDeleteJHL:
ReplyDeleteyou old softie...
You can't wait to get onto "I'm a Celebrity - get me out of here" or "Celebrity Big Brother", can you?
C'mon...you've built up a few guaranteed voters on these blogs! We know you have a kinder side...
Iain: S'funny - last time there was a poll showing a big tory lead you couldn't wait to get it onto your blog the night before it was published.
ReplyDeleteNow that lead has collapsed, not a word!
Shithouse Lawyer - I'm sure you could make some nice marmalade as well, if only old ladies didn't irritate you by leaving the lid off.
ReplyDeleteAnd this qualifies you how?
Raspberry dijo: "C'mon...you've built up a few guaranteed voters on these blogs!" Yes, among prisoners who will remain forever, by law, members of the non-voting community.
Mandelson is a giant of politics. The tories would cut off their right arm to have him aboard.
ReplyDeleteVerity:
ReplyDeleteLet's continue with this King Lear theme. Something tells me that you would have enjoyed being in Stratford last night?
Question 1 - Who do you most identify with -
Goneril or Cordelia?
Question 2- Who would you have most enjoyed seeing swinging as "The Fool"?
Your choice...
mandy? yeah. you'll win the election. but at what price? losing your soul and getting into government because over 50 per cent of the populaton didnt vote?
ReplyDeletewe plebs arent stupid.
such tenuous mandates are the makings of extremist dictators. be VERY wary of this. you might get elected, but you wont have a popular mandate.
Absolutely, Iain: the second word is 'off', and the only varying opinion can be whether the first word should begin with f, p, s, or b.
ReplyDelete'And don't ever come back here again!' should follow.
Honestly, these NuLab tarts - no self-respect.
The tories haven't won a general election for 15 years. Mandelson has won 3 in that time - laugh away tory boys.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1.01 am said:...the tories haven't won a general election for 15 years. Mandelson has won 3 in that time - laugh away tory boys...
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm gutted.
During this time frame, I managed to become a millionaire several times over, whilst paying very little tax on the proceeds.
Gawd bless you Gordon, I say, it was never this easy when the Tories were in charge.
I'm really worried that, when the Tories get back into power, they might close down some of my "angles."
Let's just hope that Gordon gets elected...
Dirty Duck writes gnomically: "Verity:
ReplyDelete"Let's continue with this King Lear theme. Something tells me that you would have enjoyed being in Stratford last night?"
Haven't a clue what happened in Stratford last night or any other night. I cannot trace any King Lear theme in this thread and therefore conclude that you have gone mad.
I've never been to Stratford in my life and don't believe I've ever knowingly purchased a ticket to anything by the RSC.
It wold show just how"principled" mandy is nifes gordo and runs.
ReplyDeletePersonally I'd tell the bugger to eff off.
ReplyDeleteAnd as soon as the phone went down a copy of the tape of the call would be on its way to every news organisation whose address was in my rolodex.
Cameron's real answer would be: "We're a broad church, Peter. Of course you're more than welcome to join the policy-less vacuum that is the Conservative Party. We'd be delighted to have you."
ReplyDeleteMandy can only join if he promises to bring that nice Mr. Alastair Campbell too...
ReplyDeleteVerity,
ReplyDelete"...and don't believe I've ever knowingly purchased a ticket to anything by the RSC.
Verity, you tend to know when you have bought a ticket for the RSC, on account of it says "RSC" in big letters on the ticket and generally, they are performing the works of William Shakespeare.
That said, I did once see a particularly exotic floor show in Amsterdam where at the end the well-perforated players did say "...and this production was brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company..."**
Marquee Mark
**That's actually a lie.
It was Bangkok.
Leak it.
ReplyDeleteExpose the trecherous "mandacious" parasite for what he is.
Mandelson 3, Tories 0
ReplyDeleteNoel & mens sana: Why do people always suggest diplomatic postings for useless tossers? The Americans change personnel at ambassadorial level every time there is a change of Adminstration - which makes life doubly difficult for US Foreign Service officers in pst and policy makers back home. Governments need career officers, not political lapdogs, in these top jobs, not washed up has beens (or never was-es). Nothwithstanding which, I understand Ulan Baator is very pleasant in the summer and yak milk is something to die for!

ReplyDeleteHe may be the Prince of Darkness but Hell would freeze over before Peter Mandelson defected.He is Old Labour aristocracy as well as a New Labour functionary.Never forget that he is Herbert Morrison's grandson.

ReplyDeleteNo, no more publicly funded sinecures for Mandy. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI suppose it's inevitable that he'll be given a life peerage in Blair's resignation honours list. Though quite how the Lords will cope with his puerile, simpering, snipey, waspish comments such as
"I have no doubt that Gordon Brown would agree with me that, for all his remarkable qualities, he would come over much better were he to agree to wear a veil. Gordon would be first to agree that he looks frankly pretty dreadful without his face covered up" [Private Eye 1170, Oct '06]
I don't know.

Herbert Morrison would disown Mandleson for nulab and his instrumental role in establishing it.
It was Herbert Morrison who created the Green Belt to curtail the sprawl of the polluted cess pit of overcrowded London etc, provide the towns and working people with countryside.
How ironic then that New Labour, so much of it the monstrous creation of Morrison's grandson, Peter Mandleson, should set out to sytematically destroy the Green Belt and the vital green lungs of our towns.
Herbert Morrison would be rightly disgusted.
Auntie Flo'
Auntie Flo-Penlan agrees with you but old Labour are tribal.I live in one of their heartlands unfortunately.
ReplyDeletePeter Mandelson's mouth is gruesome, isn't it? He is repulsive, both inside and out.
ReplyDeleteSurely the Tories can dig up enough dirt on this low life to keep him out of the Lords? Keeping him out of Britain would be even better.
It's where he belongs: the Cameroon Party is now the principal vehicle for the New Labour Project.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like that Project, then you should have left Labour, you should now leave the Tories, and you should soon leave the Lib Dems.
Amazing how bitchy you boys get when anyone mentions the name of Baronees Mandelson of Rio. Anyone would think you are all transfixed.
ReplyDeleteCan't we get him to defect to Iran or somewhere?
