Forgive my ignorence but who the hell is that a picture of. It looks a bit like my old English and sociology teacher after one of his usual lunch time drinking sessions.
But it cant be him he died at the bottom of his rugby clubs swimming pool 30 odd years ago, after he drunk the entire remaining contents of the bars optics in one go.
"Any third-rate politician - and we have scores of them - can pretend a problem does not exist until it goes off like a landmine" - Best-selling author Frederick Forsyth. How do you think that the unresolved questions about Cameron and his cronies' history of drug-taking is going to play when the fight gets dirty?
Does your book include the contributions to party funds made by companies to make the government turn a blind eye to the fraudulent permits issued to overseas IT workers that displaced so many British professionals?
It allows you to get other people sacked then get the chance to get your own snout in the trough without having to actualy come up with some practical solutions to problems , its brilliant! Vote Cameron!
If you want to make libellous comments go and make them elsewhere. I note you do not have the courage to put your name to your posts as is typical of trolling cowards like you.
You can't possibly today(June 2nd) be editing a book due out on June 27th?
I went into the Parliamentary Bookshop a year or so ago, on the corner of Bridge Street and Parliament Square, to buy a copy of Matthew Parris' excellent 'Great Parliamentary Scandals'.They didn't have it, the assistant said: they weren't allowed to stock it.
Guess which august institution owns and operates thebookshop? Yes - Parliament itself.
Today I shall mostly be editing the BIG RED BOOK OF NEW LABOUR SLEAZE...
This week, I've been mostly reading Thatcher & Sons.

ReplyDeleteIain,
ReplyDeleteIs there enough paper in the Universe to write such matters down??
Do we have anything on the Chipmunk? Extravagant wallpaper scandal, or something?

ReplyDeletegarypowell's ignorance is forgiven. Just this once.
The pic Iain posted was of Jesse off The Fast Show: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/fastshow/characters/jesse.shtml
(First broadcast by the BBC, as it happens.)
Expect him to be delivering incisive political comment on the Doughty St sofa sometime soon.
I thought that you had stopped Tim Ireland from posting comments on your blog, Iain...
