Does Steven Pound get paid for all these opinions he provides? He's on the news more often than Huw Edwards, the bullet headed gobby twat.

>> Labour MP Stephen Pound told the BBC that Sion's video was "a new low in British politics".
Well, he should know!
By the way, someone should tell him that talking on his mobile phone handset while driving is illegal.

Perhaps Sion shot himself in both feet. Maybe he hadn't realised that Dave's WebCameron thing was itself a satire on the caring, sharing T. Blair. So, by satirising Dave's satire of Tone, he's really pointing (or giving) the finger at (or to) poor old Tone.
Maybe that was his Machianvellian intention?
Goodness, Politics are tricky. I'm off for a lie down.

Pound was described in the Daily Express (don't ask) as "a renowned Common's jester"
well, I suppose if you're PPS to Bleurghs then you'd need a bloody good sense of humour...
Tut. Surely, Guido, you could mention that Jack Straw made his comments without seeing the video? Perhaps also comment on the richness of his attacking personal attacks (See: Dave the Chameleon)?
Still, well done for bigging up this desperate and cynical whoring of webcameron (twice now).

Sion in new labour is no surprise. What I want to know is why he was employed by the Telegraph. Sad decline of 2 once great institutions.
I love Sion's "My friend Tom Watson is committed to the medium"... It's unfortunate that Tom's commitment is undermined by technical failures the only times you'd actually want to visit or post on his site. Two way street, Tom, two-way street.

Watson has now issued an unreserved apology to David Cameron.
We all note he apologies to Tory leaders and not Labour leaders

Amusing to see some people like to get in a froth demanding freedom of speech for those who want to take the piss out of Muslims, but don't want that right for those people taking the piss out of Cameron.
It's a three second joke that is less offensive than half the stuff Guido writes. Admitedly it is less funny than half the stuff Guido writes, but that is beside the point....
More like, Labour seriously wonders how this infantile fuckwit ever got through the front door.

Watson's post of 12 October backed Simon and ended with the line "watch out Rory Bremner" IIRC. He must be wanting to take ove his New Statesman column.

Has Tom Watson been eating more pies than is sensible for a man of his years?
"Tom Watson and Sion Simon were two of the geniuses behind the failed coup attempt against Blair before Labour party conference. Which resulted in Tom Watson wandering forlornly outside the GMEX centre pretending to talk into his mobile phone"
by many accounts Watson wasn't badly received at the conference. Infact some delegates even offered him to buy drinks for him.

We're not calling for it to be banned, we just think it's lame.

no, it is the point, Good satire is always welcome, of anything (and yes, that should include Islam) and the Tories, and anything else, buth this is hand-bitingly bad. No-one's saying he shouldn;t be allowed to say it. We're saying he's an unfunny c*nt. There's a difference

Matthew Please indicate to us who on this site thinks its alright to take the "piss out" of Muslims as you put it. As you may or may not know this is now against the law and could result in a prison sentence.
While doing so please give any examples of anyone anywhere in the WHOLE WORLD that thinks Simons does not have a perfect right to make a compleat wanker of HIMSELF if he so wishes.
After all you are and no one has told you to shut up yet. However I suggest you dont start blowing things up or attempt to start a world war or the police MAY have something to say to you.
Such is the right to freedom of speech in this once great country. Keep voting socialist and it can and very likely will get far far worse.
Strikes me that people like Sion Simon and his ilk are the new LINO's - or Labour In Name Only. Of course in the 80's boom we used to refer to Lloyd's brokers as LINOs, as in Low Income, No 'Ope.
I still get the feeling that this miserable creature's real name is actually Simon Simon, and he took out the first 'm' to appear more trendy than his humble origins would indicate. Supposedly next we'll see Bois Johnson or Gudo Fawkes I presume ...

I don't think there could really be anyone called Simon Simon - imagine Mr and Mrs Simon sitting down and saying "I know lets call our son Simon!!" Not likely is it? His real first name is "SHIT FOR BRAINS!" which he shortens to Sion.
