>Fucking Dreadful Prime Minister

stepping on the toes/task/territory of one of Britain's foremost QCs (sic)here!

Richard Bailey said...

Nick wants celebrity just a little too much. Nick loves his position and wants to be a part of the story rather than just its impartial narrator. Nick swings with the political wind and has pretty much gone "native".
Thank god the BBC took him and spared the Tories from this conceit.

Curly said...

We don't need a cabinet minister to confirm that for us, do we?

The same potty mouthed comment was regurgitated on Newsnight last night.

Well it certainly wasn't David "Only Gordon Brown can save the Labour Party" Minibrain. Or Ruth ("I'm another latex android like Blears, only this time Gordon's got his hand up my backside" Kelly.

Johnson?

unclear if Mr Robinson was authorised to attribute the comments to the minister concerned.

would be helpful if Nick Robinson were able to clarify this.

it is certainly not helpful if a political commentator wish to become the story.

Philip Stephens of the Financial Times has commented that Gordon Brown's crown is now blood drenched.

Nice to see the in-fighting and factionalism starting already.
They will all jump on the band-wagon soon to prove their independant credentials.

Everyone in the current government is F*cking Dreadful, so it doesn't matter who said it or who they said it about.

Though who Dreadful is I'm not sure, and I wouldn't want to be them.

It isn't Ruth Krankie, sorry, Kelly. I listened to her being interviewed by Nicky Campbell on Five Live this morning whilst enjoying a lie-in. She was in full robotic rehearsed Nu-Lab phrase mode. Indeed, she said something about Bliar being a 'very honest and open PM', or words to that effect. I laughed so much I had to change my sheets...

Just held my nose and posted a comment on Robber's 'blog' asking him to reveal all. We can but ask.

Nick is an arch-blairite

Not fit to work for BBC

When Blair goes BBC should sack him

Sorry for posting this as an anonamong but cant do otherwise.

Hate to dish some of the conspiracy theories but the brown camp did not organise or encourage either the "2001" letter nor the threatened "2005" letter. The letters were organised by the MPs involved themselves some of whom could indeed be described as Brownites but most not.

Good job the chances of John Reid ever becoming PM are pretty small guess his cabinet career might not last much longer

Anonymous said...

Nick Robinson said in the interview ... "He [Gordon] has lost the confidence of senior colleages" - sounds like David Blunkett doesn't it.

Guido also failed to mention that Nick said on the news last night that the cursing MP has also said "... over my f**king dead body."

Anonymous said...

Was once walking crossing Whitehall towards the Red Lion with a Cabinet Minister and an ambulance raced down the side of the treasury and went in their entrance. Cabinet minister then said to me "I hope it's fatal".

I imagine it's the same cabinet minister. And I think I agree with him on Brown.

Anonymous said...

Javelin - I think the swearing M.P. last night is different from the one this morning. If he'd been a minister he would've been described as such.

Also, Blunkett is a washed up old tw*t. In no way can he be described as a 'senior colleague'. It means another minister.

A highly reliable source reports that the following conversation was heard just before the Chancellor's statement yesterday. Strangely only Gordon Brown was known to be in the room.

"Master, Master looks after us. Master wouldn't hurt us."

"Master broke his promise."

"Don't ask Gordon. Poor, poor Gordon."

"Master betrayed us. Wicked, tricksy, false. We ought to wring his filthy little neck. Kill him, kill him, kill them both. And then we takes over and WE be the Master. heh heh heh heh!"

"The fat Deputy. He knows. Eyes always watching."

"Then we stabs them out. Put out his eyses. Make him crawl."

"Yes. Yes. Yes."

"Kill them both."

"Yes. No, no. It's too risky. It's too risky."

(Voices calling Gordon in the distance)

"We could let HER do it."

"Yes, She could do it."

"Yes, precious, she could. And then we takes it once they're dead."

"Once they're dead. Shhhh!"

(Loudly) "Come on Comrades, long ways to go yet. Gordon will show you the way. Follow me."

As a side note. it is interesting that the Chanceller refers to the Labour party conference with the feminine pronoun.

It wasn't that snivelling turd, Mr Militwat who has burrowed so far up Brown's rectum in his NS interview that he has given the Chancellor a nose bleed. Its the Lanarkshire thug Reid. Brown is shit scared of him fearing a Glasgow kiss. Its Rangers vs Celtic.

Anoymous at 12.22: I don't think so.

Nick Robinson teased us about the minister's "would make an effing dreadful PM" quote on Thursday's Six O'Clock News on BBC1.

He said he had a notebook full of quotes which couldn't be read during family hours.

Did anybody hear Max Clifford saying on Radio 2 yesterday he has a 9/10 story for the newspapers for a major politician - I think he was relating it to the runners and riders for the new Prime Minister?

The thing is about Max Clifford he probably has more gossip than MI5 on most politicians but he keeps the supply restricted and tends to only run a story if somebody takes a moral stance or a position of authority they have been hypocritical about.

What about Blair? It could have been him, he's a Cabinet Minister isn't he?

Anonymous said...

Johnny K, you forget that he (or should that be He) is in constant conversation with God. He wouldn't be allowed to swear.

BJ said...

Yes -- he said "you can use that any way you want"... but of COURSE the comment was unattributable. Do you really think that Robinson would hold onto that story for his own purposes, whatever they may be? Dear me, Guido.

John Hutton. That is all.

Don't forget, for some politicians there are sometimes good elections to lose. Time is on their side (RK?, DM?) they can earn far more in "consultancy" than they earn in the Cabinet, and time will see off their older rivals (GB? JR?)

from Robin Lustig, The World Tonight, Radio 4.........about someone who has been "absolutely stupid".

"(Last week) I suggested that Charles Clarke looked to me like a dangerously smouldering volcano, ready to erupt at any moment – and now he has, as I suspected he might, blown his top.

My suspicion a week ago was that the lava flow might engulf Tony Blair; in fact, it is heading for Gordon Brown, who has, in Mr Clarke’s words, been “absolutely
stupid”."

Am I dreaming, or could this all end in Brown having to resign?

It seems to me that he's going to be the one under pressure next.

Hot off the press, the Internationale - Sept 2006;

Arise, ye starvelings, from your f**king slumbers
Arise, ye f**king criminals of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of f**king cant (easily my favourite!)
Away with all your f**king superstitions
Servile masses, arise, arise – for f**ks sake
We'll change forthwith the f**king old conditions
And spurn the dust to win the f**king prize
Then comrades, come, rally, f**k
And the last fight let us face f**king (one for M.O)
The f**king Internationale
Unites the human f**king race
Then comrades, come, rally, f**k
And the last fight let us f**k face (another one for M.O)
The f**king Internationale
Unites the human f**king race
We peasants, artisans and other f**kers
Enrolled among the sons of toil and f**k
Let's change the earth henceforth for brother-f**kers
Drive the indolent from the f**king soil
On our flesh too long has fed the f**king raven
We've too long been the vulture's f**king prey
But now farewell the f**king spirit craven
The dawn brings in a brighter f**king day
No saviour from on high f**king delivers
No trust have we in prince or f**king peer
Our own right hands the chains must f**king shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear and f**k
E'er the thieves will out with their f**king booty (gangster rap version)
And to all give a happier f**king lot
Each at the forge must do their f**king duty
And strike the iron while it's f**king hot – ahhhhhh, who left the f**king iron on!

There'll be knock...[knock knock] Ring [ring ring]

I see that Mary Anne Sieghert in the Times today is using the 'men in white coats' rather than 'men in grey suits' analogy for what is needed in the Cabinet - an analogy fisrt raised a couple of days ago in the Blogosphere.

are bloggers perhaps making it too easy for journalists to poclet vast sums weekly?

Fear not, mon braves!
It's a pound of salt to a pinch of s**t that Gutless, Gormless, Graceless Gordon will not be the next PM.
Somebody read to him about Trafalgar, Nelson, telescope, eye patch, carry on chaps!
The nut doctors have a word for him, one eye an' all!

Can't remember what it is though.

hey nonny mouse said... "Is this a dagger which I see before me..." ... and just look what happened to him.

What happened to the real Macbeth was that he was an excellent and popular king who ruled for ten years.

I heard NR saying the same thing on one of the late news show last night. Whoever it was who said it, is absolutely right of course; GB has completely messed up the medium-/long-term future of the economy and will prove a disaster both for all us poor suckers, not to mention the Laboour Party (hurrah for that last bit!), if he ever gets to be PM - I hope enough Labour MPs/members waken up before they commit this folly.

Many of us are lovin' it. Yep, this is exactly the kind of scenario we have long been waiting for...Gordo has "something of the one-term PM" about him. And England won't be voting for him.... Rehashed Bliarism with a hint of "son of the manse" moralising plus a non-personality ain't what the masses want.
Gordon, you have waited far too long and the political tide is decidely against you.

He is a looser and I would hat the idea of him being PM. He should fuck off upto Holyrood and be first minister their.

Sad to see how bad Millbank's finances are that they are employing people with just the GCSE D grade as their English Language standard.

Still think it's Reid, although it might be amusing to know why such a bottomkisser as Robinson would even reveal that one of Tony's supporters swore at him.
