ReplyDeleteTake a look at trueblueblood on cameron---worth a mention.
Draper as found God, but you can't blame the guy for hiding from Derek.
ReplyDeleteIain!!! I can't believe the position you've just staked out on TWT. I am typing as I listen.
ReplyDeleteCameron has to look after Kirkbride because she is female with kids???
'It would send a terrible signal' ??
I'm sorry to be so oh-la la about this but as a female, I don't want a free-loader like Kirkbride used in my name.
*lies down with cold flannel on forehead*
50,000 for a single bedroom extension? Sounds more like an annexe to me. So basically we're buying a flat for her brother?
ReplyDeleteI hope Julie got planning permission.

Breaking News from the Telegraph, Iain - Sir John Butterfill has tried to clear things up but it doesn't look too good on him....
ReplyDeleteNewsnight tonight, the bumbling buffoon Hattersley, still stuck in the 1970's mindset, would have been happy to see the Tories stuck in the mire as long as Labour was clean.
ReplyDeleteWell fat chance.
Perhaps he had a dream that clean Labour would rise in the polls and reverse the Brown damage factor.
Hattersley still doesnt get it, people are sick of the party games that he and Brown love so much.
Newsnight was also the first program to mention that MP's who step down at the next election will pocket 200K in expenses and severance pay, how is this fair? And why isnt more being said about this?
Butterfill's alleged CGT laibilities are not as large as the telegraphs headline suggests and it has to rely on an unnamed 'independent witness' yo bolster its claims.
ReplyDeleteBut justified or not Butterfill's baggage will trail round his leg like a ball and chain. He is wealthy and sadly for the chap has 'servants quarters'.
He has been around for a while - others will have to testify if he is a good MP/ parliamentarian or not - but media wise he is a liability now. Never mind a good socialist like Dalyell get buy his bookcases with our money - Butterfill will have to be pensioned off.
But now that is the age we are living in - better get used to it you all.
That is some serious posting from Mr Hitchens.
ReplyDeleteNot usually a reader of his so thanks for the heads-up.
Mr Den - you are right, the squirarchy grandee culture needs to be killed off too.
ReplyDeleteI've no problem with lovely country houses so long as I'm not paying for them - ditto London riverside pads.
It was obvious during Cameron's & Clegg's photoshoot with Lumley after the Gurkha win. Cameron grabbed her for a limelight kiss and she turned away, Diana-style. She didn't want to be his photo-op!
ReplyDeleteIain, I did a bar chart last week too. Don't take it to seriously.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't be surprised on Lumley. She may have been sound on the Gurkhas but she's a raving vegan, with animal rights form.
ReplyDeletePeter Hitchens responds to readers questions?
ReplyDeleteI think you mean Peter Hitchens selects only readers comments or questions that allows him to repeat rant and he ignores the rest.
He always spices his selective condescension with some seemingly genuine bemusement that people are so stupid. Poor Peter. He's often so generous in pointing out to people the extent of their stupidity, yet never notices his own.
