Having grown up on a council estate I question why it should be thought that Cabinet Ministers would be any different if "Forced to live on council estates" ~ you are pandering to prejudice with such statements. John Prescott grew up on a council estate. Did it make him a better minister?

Harriet Harman MP, Alan Milburn MP, David Davies MP, Alan Johnson MP, David Taylor MP, David Lammy MP,
Paul Holmes MP, Nadine Dorries MP, Derek Conway MP, Tobias Ellwood MP, Philip Collins MP, Tony Cunningham MP,
David Howarth MP ~ just a few of the many ministers, ex ministers and sundry MPs from all parties who grew up on Council Estates ~ Oh and so did Nicolas Sarkozy  whistle:

Now I am NOT saying that Mandleson is not a crook but living on a council estate would not change that.

I was making no judgement abouthte denizens of council estates, merely that preaching Socialism (or whatever it is now) forma 2.5 million housein Regents Park is contemptible. They should be made to live amongst the victims of their own policies. The crap about getting the kids of the poor into Universities (Blackbird Leys: Oxford yesterday) is an idnictment of their rule and reflects the fact that whereas many of us in the 60s(and that includes most Cabinet ministers) had access to Grammar Schools and free university education (with a grant) everyone now ends up in debt to the tune of thousands and the Grammar school is a vansihing breed (apart from round here, fortunately). My parents were working class without a doubt (rented house, mum worked the evening shift at Boots) but I got to Grammar and never looked back. Good for me.

We are lucky that The Boy has a chance to get to a Grammar and are saving like fury for when he gets to University or needs a plumbers' van

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has apologised after describing Prime Minister Gordon Brown as "a one-eyed Scottish idiot".
The BBC presenter also accused the Prime Minster of lying, in comments made in Australia where he is hosting Top Gear Live, a stage version of the hit TV show.
Mr Brown lost his sight in one eye as the result of an accident playing rugby as a teenager.
In a statement issued by the BBC, Clarkson said: "In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the Prime Minister's personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise."


Shoved or pushed by the BBBBC? evil:

So much for freedom of speech in this so called democratic country of ours. ::)

Post by: The Moan Ranger on February 06, 2009, 06:19:39 PM
Tellingly, he hasn't apologised for calling him an "idiot". 'Twas a well crafted answer.

The facts are plain; he is one-eyed and he is Scottish. If Bruin had two eyes and was ginger and JC had merely called him a "Ginger Scottish idiot", would there be such an outcry? I doubt it.

And there is nothing to stop Bruin calling JC a "lanky loud-mouthed Lancastrian mopped haired idiot". If he were to do so in PMQ's next Wednesday, he might gain a modicum of respect.

Police say they have arrested environmental campaigner Leila Deen after an incident in which green custard was thrown at Lord Mandelson.

The business secretary was confronted before he was due to take part in a low-carbon summit in London.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show of his "surprise" his attacker had been able to avoid security outside the Royal Society on Friday morning.

Ms Deen, of Brighton, has been bailed to return at a police station in April.

Lord Mandelson said the custard had given him a "slight" facial irritation.

The police are not obliged to investigate an incident of this kind unless a formal complaint has been made.

Ms Deen, who is a member of the Plane Stupid campaign group, said after the incident that Lord Mandelson was targeted because of his support for a new runway at Heathrow airport.

Lord Mandelson also told Andrew Marr that he was "slightly surprised" his attacker "could just saunter off without being apprehended".

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith told Sky News' Sunday Live programme: "I don't think in a democracy where people are able to speak up that anybody should chuck custard at anybody in the street. It's not appropriate."

Source http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7931185.stm

So who complained to the police then Mandy?

A slight facial irritation from Custard? FFS Grow up you twat ~ It's prolly a pimple caused by excessive masturbation with one of your boyfriends.

And Jackboot Jacqui thinks that "In a democracy people shouldn't be able to throw custard" Well OK Home Sec ~ Point Taken.... What should we throw? ~ A rope over a nearby branch perhaps.

Jesus H Christ these bastards are so far up their own arses we cannot even show our dipleasure at an UNELECTED "Minister of State". We can't vote the sod out of office, we can't take away his gold plated pension and perks for which he has been proven to lie to hang on to so I think he should consider himself lucky it was only custard.

Jesus H Christ these bastards are so far up their own arses we cannot even show our dipleasure at an UNELECTED "Minister of State". We can't vote the sod out of office, we can't take away his gold plated pension and perks for which he has been proven to lie to hang on to so I think he should consider himself lucky it was only custard.


Quote from: The Times
Lord Mandelson also told Andrew Marr that he was "slightly surprised" his attacker "could just saunter off without being apprehended".

There is your answer... for 'slightly surprised' read 'fucking fuming'!  ;D

Its small beans compared to the rest of the waste of taxpayer's money this government is guilty of but who the hell told Mandy it was acceptable to spend £2000 a month of flowers for his department and does it come out of the £115,000 a year the Government happily forks out for plants for its departments.

There's a couple of guys who stand on the dual carriageway at "Five Ways Corner" on the A41 selling roses ~ £3 for 10 blooms or a fiver for two bunches. They are there every evening from about 3pm until the rush is over. I suggest Mandy sends his driver up there with a tenner to keep the office smelling sweet.

Another Rumour Stamped Out
By Jason Beattie on March 11, 2009 12:48 PM | Permalink
LORD Mandelson was his usual mixture of mischief and menace yesterday when he introduced the Postal Services Bill.
The "shrill" opposition to his proposals was putting off private firms potentially interested in buying a minority stake in the Royal Mail, he claimed.
Is this true?
I put in a quick call to Dutch firm TNT, the front-runner to buy part of the postal group.
Its press officer told me the firm was still interested in a "strategic partnership" and this position had not changed despite the intensity of the debate over here.

But it is Mandelson?s career since returning to government in 2008 which is truly remarkable.

First, it is astonishing that he agreed to come back at all. The caricature of the man as lover of the high-life, with his expensive furniture, clothes, homes and holidays, might suggest that once he left the European Commission he might want to earn some serious cash on various boards, and spent more time on yachts. By agreeing to return to the front-line, at a time when Labour was behind in the polls and being widely written off, he displayed genuine loyalty to the Labour Party and its values.

He came back because he wants to be Queen ~ Simples!

He announced last week that middle-class children will simply not be allowed into the country?s top universities even if they have 4,000 A-levels, because all the places will be taken by Albanians and guillemots and whatever other stupid bandwagon the conniving idiot has leapt.

I hate Peter Mandelson. I hate his fondness for extremely pale blue jeans and I hate that preposterous moustache he used to sport in the days when he didn?t bother trying to cover up his left-wing fanaticism. I hate the way he quite literally lords it over us even though he?s resigned in disgrace twice, and now holds an important decision-making job for which he was not elected. Mostly, though, I hate him because his one-man war on the bright and the witty and the successful means that half my friends now seem to be taking leave of their senses.

There?s talk of emigration in the air. It?s everywhere I go. Parties. Work. In the supermarket. My daughter is working herself half to death to get good grades at GSCE and can?t see the point because she won?t be going to university, because she doesn?t have a beak or flippers or a qualification in washing windscreens at the lights. She wonders, often, why we don?t live in America.

Then you have the chaps and chapesses who can?t stand the constant raids on their wallets and their privacy. They can?t understand why they are taxed at 50% on their income and then taxed again for driving into the nation?s capital. They can?t understand what happened to the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction. They can?t understand anything. They see the Highway Wombles in those brand new 4x4s that they paid for, and they see the M4 bus lane and they see the speed cameras and the community support officers and they see the Albanians stealing their wheelbarrows and nothing can be done because it?s racist.

And they see Alistair Darling handing over ?4,350 of their money to not sort out the banking crisis that he doesn?t understand because he?s a small-town solicitor, and they see the stupid war on drugs and the war on drink and the war on smoking and the war on hunting and the war on fun and the war on scientists and the obsession with the climate and the price of train fares soaring past ?1,000 and the Guardian power-brokers getting uppity about one shot baboon and not uppity at all about all the dead soldiers in Afghanistan, and how they got rid of Blair only to find the lying twerp is now going to come back even more powerful than ever, and they think, ?I?ve had enough of this. I?m off.?

It?s a lovely idea, to get out of this stupid, Fairtrade, Brown-stained, Mandelson-skewed, equal-opportunities, multicultural, carbon-neutral, trendily left, regionally assembled, big-government, trilingual, mosque-drenched, all-the-pigs-are-equal, property-is-theft hellhole and set up shop somewhere else. But where?

You can?t go to France because you need to complete 17 forms in triplicate every time you want to build a greenhouse, and you can?t go to Switzerland because you will be reported to your neighbours by the police and subsequently shot in the head if you don?t sweep your lawn properly, and you can?t go to Italy because you?ll soon tire of waking up in the morning to find a horse?s head in your bed because you forgot to give a man called Don a bundle of used notes for ?organising? a plumber.

You can?t go to Australia because it?s full of things that will eat you, you can?t go to New Zealand because they don?t accept anyone who is more than 40 and you can?t go to Monte Carlo because they don?t accept anyone who has less than 40 mill. And you can?t go to Spain because you?re not called Del and you weren?t involved in the Walthamstow blag. And you can?t go to Germany ... because you just can?t.

The Caribbean sounds tempting, but there is no work, which means that one day, whether you like it or not, you?ll end up like all the other expats, with a nose like a burst beetroot, wondering if it?s okay to have a small sharpener at 10 in the morning. And, as I keep explaining to my daughter, we can?t go to America because if you catch a cold over there, the health system is designed in such a way that you end up without a house. Or dead.

Canada?s full of people pretending to be French, South Africa?s too risky, Russia?s worse and everywhere else is too full of snow, too full of flies or too full of people who want to cut your head off on the internet. So you can dream all you like about upping sticks and moving to a country that doesn?t help itself to half of everything you earn and then spend the money it gets on bus lanes and advertisements about the dangers of salt. But wherever you go you?ll wind up an alcoholic or dead or bored or in a cellar, in an orange jumpsuit, gently wetting yourself on the web. All of these things are worse than being persecuted for eating a sandwich at the wheel.

I see no reason to be miserable. Yes, Britain now is worse than it?s been for decades, but the lunatics who?ve made it so ghastly are on their way out. Soon, they will be back in Hackney with their South African nuclear-free peace polenta. And instead the show will be run by a bloke whose dad has a wallpaper shop and possibly, terrifyingly, a twerp in Belgium whose fruitless game of hunt-the-WMD has netted him ?15m on the lecture circuit.

So actually I do see a reason to be miserable. Which is why I think it?s a good idea to tie Peter Mandelson to a van. Such an act would be cruel and barbaric and inhuman. But it would at least cheer everyone up a bit in the meantime.

....and why is that I wonder?  rubschin:

The way I see it, is that he has got the balls to stand up and say what he thinks, do what he wants, and up yours if you don't like it, while the majority of us (sheepies) fear for our freedom for daring to speak out of the correct politically and H&S infatuated way. ::)

Clarkson for PM...seriously. happy088

He is popular because he makes himself that way, he picks on easy targets that we all dislike and uses the position he has carved for himself (all credit for that achievement) to broadcast his populist opinions. He is also entertaining and God knows we are in dire need of amusement.
BUT PM? ~ Even he would say that is not using him to our best advantage. His value is to speak with the voice of the silent majority, to entertain and amuse us and to stop us from getting too far down. In this he is actually doing the Government's bidding although he doesn't seem to know it.
It is all about Bread and Circuses ~ as the Romans knew only too well. Feed and entertain the masses and they will put up with all sorts of shite.
JC is, I am afraid, part of the circus. He is the outlet, the clown that we can all laugh at as he fights, impotently, against Big Brother.
That is why he has to go "over the top" ~ Nobody will tie Mandelson to the front of a van ...... but the idea is amusing.

So I see Mandelscum is to retire from politics. Jolly good.

I wonder how the poor shy little flower will make ends meet  rubschin:

Perhaps he has some rich friends who owe him favours who can put a bit of werk his way  rubschin:

Ah yes:

I enjoyed this today....

Quote from: Leg-Iron
The Daily Tremble (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280320/Cleggs-power-grab-Deputy-PM-influence-Mandelson-did.html) is a-buzz with what it calls 'Clegg's Power Grab'. No, it's not one of those funfair things, full of stuff nobody needs with the little crane that never catches a damn thing anyway. The Tremble is incensed that the Clegginator now has more authority than Count Mandelstein used to have.

They seem to have missed a detail or two.

The Clegginator is half of the Cleggeron. The left half. He and the Cameroid (the other left half) operate as independent beings except at full moon, when they combine, Transformer-like, into a ghastly multi-limbed creature that has the EU flag tattooed on its forehead. Sometimes, for variety, they turn into a truck instead. Biodiesel, naturally.

As the leader of the smaller half of the coalition, and as the Deputy Prime Monster, the Clegginator is supposed to be in on the workings of Government. It is, after all, his job.

Most of all, the one detail the Tremble glosses over in the interests of cheap sensationalist headlines... the Clegginator was elected.

Count Mandelstein was not only unelected, he was fired from Government three times and was still in charge. So I think it only right that the Clegginator exerts greater authority than Count Mandelstein ever did.

In a truly just world, the tea-boy would have had more authority than a thrice-disgraced nightspawn with the morals of Vlad the Impaler and the looks of a B-movie vampire. We haven't been living in a just world. I hope we are approaching one but I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not holding my breath. Makes it hard to smoke.

One of the comments however ....   eveilgrin:


Quote
Mid 1994, I regaled dinner parties by saying: banks bust and would go bankrupt; labour would seize power via lies and bankrupt UK.
When no-one listened, I closed my bank account, cancelled all my cards and quit UK.
It's so simple!
Consumer debt per person UK - unsustainable.
Banks, trading floors, hired screaming spivs to gamble with other people's money.
Add a decline in morality, truth, honesty, hard work, talent, education.
What's missing now in UK?
Same values - honesty, truth, talent, meritocacy etc.
Banks believe they got away with it.
Govt - focuses on PR-spin good ratings, keeping power.
No sign of any leader on lines of Martin Luther King or Charlemagne.
So, I'll stay put in sunny Saudi for next few years.
p.s. watch Mandy and Deripaska. The next mega scandal.

"The aim of this system is to ease their return to the labour market, to maintain their independence after their time as commissioner," said a Brussels spokesman. "We want to help them so they don't have to jump on every job offer on the way."

FFS! why?
