Was Dimbleby obeying orders?<br /><br />As the yawnsome formulaic exchanges rolled on, besides being struck by how often I found myself agreeing with and feeling motivated by Peter Hitchens whilst despairing at the dreary IDS and wondering who the Ginger Party's David Laws reminded me of, I noticed what an easy ride Harperson was getting; both from QT's selected-audience and from Dimbleby. His interjections consisted of patsy-questions and helpful clarifications, plus one little joke at her expense which she managed to shrug off with a charming smile and that was that.<br /><br />A repeat-play was called for; this time with a stopwatch. I timed the three politicians and how long they were given in response on each question and to Dimbleby's interjections [my timings do not include these, just the responses].<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Q1 National Debt:</span><br /><br />Harperson: 3m20s<br />Duncan-Smith 2m57s<br />Ginger Party: 2m53s<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Q2 Should Biggs be freed?</span><br /><br />Harperson: 2m5s<br />Duncan-Smith 1m15s<br />Ginger Party: 1m27s<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Q3 Teecha-Testing Targets</span>?<br /><br />Harperson: 2m11s<br />Duncan-Smith 1m13s<br />Ginger Party: 1m15s<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Q4 Rail Re-Nationalisation? </span><br /><br />Harperson: 1m53s*<br />Duncan-Smith 1m22s<br />Ginger Party: 1m58s<br /><br />*Dimbleby drawing her out for more, but she ran out of puff.

Where Harperson waffles and repeats her various mantras with increasing volume until forcibly quietened, IDS prefers to talk well-structured straightforward bollocks for a minute flat.<br /><br />Harperson never did come back to David Laws with the reinterpretation she'd offered of the debt-figures in her little red book. Dimbleby didn't press her for it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-7717457579963864818?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-35168117032642550232009-06-28T20:11:00.016+01:002009-06-29T04:06:00.205+01:00No, I'm Not At Bloody GlastonburyThe Pilton Pops has failed to draw me for another year.

The appeal is designed to do two things; first and most importantly, it is to win cheap applause, making the performer feel good and expanding their self-image from being a mere transient pop-tart into being "spokesman for a generation". Secondly, it is to assert the performer's aura of superiority over their audience, as the appeal will usually be designed to invoke a sense of guilt and collective-responsibilty. <span style="font-style: italic;">It's in your hands, people!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4/</span> "Making a difference".<br /><br />Having paid the £175 penance for your realworld subscription to the evils of capitalism; once inside the 10 foot high security-fence and having been fitted with your bar-coded wristband, you are now part of "the experience" and elevated to a position of moral-worth one rung beyond that achievable by those who don't queue up for overpriced pop gigs staged in muddy fields. Inside the security-fence, any kind of "negativity" must be cast aside, along with any decadent western expectations regarding running-water, decent food, electricity and sanitation. By queuing two hours to do a shit in a shit-filled bucket swarming with flies then saving water/"the planet" by not washing your shitty hands, you are empathising with the day-to-day poverty of those in faraway lands, so to look down your nose at the opportunity would be to stick two fingers up at the world's poorest. The festival site is littered with bossy patronising petty-minded signage, reminding campers of their many and continuing responsibilities to the collective. Should you forget any of the salient points and, you know, accidentally light a fag in a corner of the Family Field, a pointless streak of middle-class piss wearing Lennon specs and a small beard will soon be over to explain why he's a better person than you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5/</span> "We're all in this together"<br /><br />Ah, the torches swaying aloft during the power-ballad, the star beaming out their non gender-specific love to the mass of punters below, the feeling that by singing this one together we'll all be celebrating a oneness of such magnitude that the poles will be united, poverty and injustice will be no more, that world peace will be inevitable and all the Bad Stuff will be defeated. The mass of by-now rain-soaked mud-streaked sunburned sleep-deprived half-starved dehydrated and fleeced-dry punterati applaud with all they've got left as the multi-millionaire headline act tosses off their one memorable song ahead of retiring to the air-conditioned backstage limo-reception area; there to enjoy cocaine, champagne and miniature bread whilst checking their half-million quid appearance fee is safely banked before fucking off home through the special traffic-free VIP exit.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6/</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Ske09A7kYSI/AAAAAAAAAIk/VMqUO58NV5A/s1600-h/glasto_1432515c.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Ske09A7kYSI/AAAAAAAAAIk/VMqUO58NV5A/s320/glasto_1432515c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352445642467991842" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7/</span> Despite low audiences for their festival-coverage, the BBC are there en-masse. 407 of 'em, at the last count.

The peer-pressure to "join in" is often intolerable and, sadly, tonight I let my guard down.

The link between alcohol-consumption and what the hopeless addicts like to call "enjoyment" is clearly established and the negative-stereotype is only reinforced by allowing the open sale and consumption of intoxicants in public places. Indeed, the poison-pumps are allowed to bear ADVERTISING for their respective brewers and all with NO HEALTH WARNINGS and NO pictures of diseased pigs livers, human-roadkill or octogenarian dentistry with which to facilitate making an informed decision at the point of purchase. <span style="font-weight: bold;">OUTRAGEOUS!</span> Furthermore, as the evening drew on, I noticed hitherto plain-looking womenfolk assuming auras of almost irresistible charm and loveliness, to the point where I felt like that reprehensible Sid James character from those xenophobic "Carry On" films so beloved of unacceptable persons. </p><p>Alcohol Concern obviously need an urgent increase in government-funding with which to lobby the government for more government-funding.

One surprise is the splitting of the Wimmins Ministry into two departments; my source suggests this may have been down to the necessary horse-trading surrounding the appointment of Alistair Darling's successor. Several new peerages have had to be gifted so as to facilitate Gordon's re-engagement with The People and, in what the bunkerteam insist on calling Government 3.0, some old departments such as Transport and Environment have been absorbed into a new "super-ministry", headed by Caroline Flint.<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lord Ant n' Dec to be Joint Minista 4 da Granny-Vote</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lady Susan Boyle to be Minista 4 da Skills an Talintz an that</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sion Slimon promoted to Minista 4 da Werk n Giros an that</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Arise Lord Sir Alan Sugar to be Minista 4 Lookin Betta on da Tele</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Caroline Flint to be Minista 4 Don't Do This Don't Do That</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tom Watson to be da new official unofficial Derek Draper</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ed Balls to be Chancellor [no really, I'm serious]</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Harriet Fucking Harperson to be Minista 4 Heathrow Expansion</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lord Mandlefondle slides over to Minista 4 da Childrens</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kerry Mc Carthy-Blogspot promoted to Minista 4 da Multitasking and Patronising Men</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Margaret Becket to be new Minista 4 da Ugly Wimmins</span></li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Arise Lady M'am Sir JK Rowling to be da Minista 4 Trooth</span></li></ul><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-4396110151743759472?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-73001959303307904732009-06-04T22:15:00.019+01:002009-06-05T03:42:20.161+01:00Dominos Fall - Purnell Resigns from Guvvermint of da Talintz<a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Sig7dAXYtOI/AAAAAAAAAHk/zP8fXTaShh0/s1600-h/purnell.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 188px; height: 182px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Sig7dAXYtOI/AAAAAAAAAHk/zP8fXTaShh0/s200/purnell.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343586327375426786" border="0" /></a>Oh dear.

Seeing as the snorting snooper's likely to need police-protection for a wee old while yet, I expect nulab's fixers are doing deals to get her onto the undemocratic EU Commission, where she'll be able to boss everyone around to her little heart's content, whilst hubby flicks himself off over some of her next victims.<br /><br />Tubby Tommy Watson, petty-thief and wielder of the knife that entered warmongering mass-murderer Toady Bliar's back thus paving the way for the odious Gordon, has also acknowledged that the game's up and is disassociating himself from his position until his party are a bit more popular.<br /><br />Beverley Hughes' snorting on her £164,000 a year "expenses" + ministerial salary will also end with the General Election. Hughes, who denies her resignation has anyfink at all to do wiv doin a spoiler against any Telegraph revelations yet to come out, but who has claimed the maximum Additional Costs Allowance for years whilst, as Minister 4 da Chiiiiildrens, presiding over record levels of measured "child-poverty", is perhaps best-remembered for condemning as "unbelievably sick" a TV programme she'd never seen and for being "not knowingly misleading" with her lies about immigration loopholes in 2004. With such impressive form, little wonder she was promoted to the Cabinet in Bogeyman's guvvurmunt of da talintz. <span style="font-style: italic;">Is it cuz she's a wimmins?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-6274417998671144739?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-2105494194016872372009-05-28T05:50:00.006+01:002009-05-29T05:35:46.494+01:00The Rt.Hon. Bitchface Trufflesnort MPA pertinent reminder as we count our piggies:<br /><br />My local council, Vale of White Horse DC, a pseudo-democratic front-group for a collection of robo-drones, themselves wholly-owned by nulabor-donating government contractor Crapita, is today <a href="http://www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/news_views/press_releases/article.asp?id=tcm:4-5873&amp;rtn=D">boasting on it's front-page about how it has secured a suspended prison-term</a> for someone who had been in arrears on his council-tax. "Prison Sentence for Council-Tax Evader" is their headline; we have to get nearly to the end of their sub-Pravda gloating before we learn it's only a suspended sentence. The appeals to a collective righteous-indignation at this man's alleged Theft From The People are clear enough, but clearer still is the threat. Gladly give to The Party or be smited with the fury of the proletariat and forever shamed.<br /><br />And then we remember how the state treats those over whom it has most power, such as those who are unemployed or living on such low wages they need help to pay market-rents. The penalties for claiming a measly pound over one's entitlement are severe. At every stage of the application and during the claim, one is humiliated, threatened, deliberately inconvenienced and bullied into useless timewasting "courses" by a watchful and petty bureaucracy intent only on meeting their <span style="font-style: italic;">provide a pool of cheap labour for Tesco</span> targets.<br /><br />What then about the old people who've paid direct-taxes for maybe fifty years and indirect taxes all their lives; the generation now in their final years who saw their friends and sweethearts die to save this country from National Socialism, who have worked hard to achieve financial-independence; after a lifetime of toil finally owning their own homes, only to have them taken away by our caring state should they need non-medical care at the end of their lives?<br /><br />What of disabled people, now being pushed into unsuitable employments because nulabor want to ensure that government is seen to be undiscriminating in the provision of awfulness? The propaganda-tone is different to that used against the undeserving poor, but the result is just as dehumanising. Effectively, were Professor Hawking able to trade his fancy speaking-machine for a pair of functioning legs, our caring peecee overlords would have him pushing Tesco trolleys.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Sh4QtHNLKRI/AAAAAAAAAHM/n_ckLi8_OF0/s1600-h/moran+sisterhood+small.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/Sh4QtHNLKRI/AAAAAAAAAHM/n_ckLi8_OF0/s200/moran+sisterhood+small.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340724575322450194" border="0" /></a>Bear all these in mind then as we move back to that fucking outrageous offence to fucking creation; troughing oink oink snort snuffle snort quota-filling nulabor wimmins-effort Margaret fucking Moran and the parasitic political-class she represents.

The juiciest issue on the MP expenses-scandal is, for me, that of hypocrisy.<p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">First Labour and the LibDems. These are the people who favour high taxation on the understanding that this will be spent on the greater good. As a naïve young man, I supported this. But who is defining the greater good? None other than the cheating lying venal parasitic whores who have used leftist politics to feather their own nests, bolster their egos and legislate on the back of vested interests and personal prejudices. Those who have preached sacrifice from the pulpits of wealth, those who have given us mass-surveillance and the micro-monitoring of our private communications, now to be heard squealing like writ-throwing pigs because their little racket’s been rumbled. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Tories: I have, in recent years, given half-hearted support to the Conservatives. I am under no illusion about them adequately representing my interests… I am still some way to the liberal-left of them on many matters but they are, for the most part, a little more liberal-minded than nulabor and are, importantly, able to replace them. My own MP, Ed Vaizey, has given prompt and satisfactory answers whenever I’ve communicated with him. But the Conservative Party are all about low taxation and a smaller state. Prudent management of public resources and elimination of waste are their mantras. So when a sizeable rump of wealthy Tory MPs are found to have been exploiting every loophole in order to screw the maximum wedge from us ordinaries, we have heard some outrageous attempts at justification. Steen, for example; accusing his accusers of being motivated by jealousy of<span style=""> </span>the big house that we’re paying for. “What right have the public got…” etc. What an utter and complete dickhead. Thinks he’s Prince fucking Philip. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">What I have yet to see… and I’d like to see… is a sweepstake on who’s gonna be the first exposed-parasite to top themself. My punt would be on Labour’s Elliot Morley, as he sounds like he might have a conscience somewhere and may now find it hard to look his constituents and friends in the eye. The wimmins… can’t see any of<span style="font-style: italic;"> them</span> doing the decent thing somehow, for the puritan is always more dangerous than the charlatan. My own experience of Labour wimmins is that they really do believe themselves worth more than people without a political education [which is how they justify employing Czech nannies at below minimum-wage], so they will feel perfectly okay about using us to fund their little property-empires. These’ll somehow be presented as enabling-devices for which we should all be grateful.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-2539186350158662294?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-13789597210186227832009-05-10T02:06:00.006+01:002009-05-12T19:54:42.615+01:00Lights of a Town<a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/SgYtvI-yfrI/AAAAAAAAAG8/z32GVpE0SK8/s1600-h/florence+by+night.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/SgYtvI-yfrI/AAAAAAAAAG8/z32GVpE0SK8/s200/florence+by+night.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334001096554872498" border="0" /></a>Yeh, I know, it's been ages.

Staff Rulebook, page 54.</b> </p><p>As you will no doubt be aware, the primary purpose for which our organisation receives public funding is to campaign against the scourge of tobacco and to help enable people make the correct choices about their health. It is our ultimate aim to STAMP OUT SMOKING STAMP IT OUT THERE WILL BE NO MORE SMOKING! I HATE IT I HATE IT! NO SMOKING! NO SMOKING! But we recognise how deeply-engrained the vile repulsive and completely unnecessary habit is in our society, so we operate a policy of “next logical steps” towards this aim. We are presently unable to exclude active smokers from our staff, as we wish to be seen attacking the behaviour and not the person. However, we do make the following recommendations for active smokers, which all employees are expected to adhere to. </p><p>1/ There will be no smoking at any time during the working day, including at lunchtime. The nuisance of stale smoke lingering on clothing can tip some of our more fragile-minded employees over the edge. Also please make a distinction between work-clothing and what you wear in your leisure time.</p><p>2/ If you really must smoke outside working hours, please wear gloves so as to prevent the appearance of tobacco-stained fingers the next morning. You will spend much of the working day rebutting tobacco-industry stooges on internet forums, so be conscious of those who may have to use a computer-keyboard after you. </p><p>3/ Please refrain from smoking on your journey to work. Any employee arriving at work smelling of evil will be sent home. Extra Strong Mints will not help you here, as our Debbie has a nose like a whippet and can detect a Rothmans-butt in a stagnant sewer. The correct smell for exhaled-breath is that of a leaking gas-main. To achieve correctness it may help you to chew garlic, and independent peer-reviewed studies have proved this to be an effective countermeasure against wickedness.</p><p>4/ In accordance with current legal requirements, all public-sector employees are entitled to join a final-salary pension scheme. As we expect and require active smokers not to live beyond retirement-age, these monies may be paid into an offshore trust fund made out in our name.</p><p>5/ We will, at the very least, terminate the employment of anyone bringing the organisation into disrepute. Therefore active smokers are required to wear a yellow badge during working hours and to make every effort to look less healthy than our senior officers. Smokers are required to bow their heads at fifteen minute intervals and cough into a tissue whilst reciting the willpower-mantra [see appendix 22]. Skin should give the appearance of premature wrinkling, eyes should look yellowed and breath should be laboured to the point of wheeziness. This may sound difficult to achieve, but we have found the overuse of chemical air-fresheners in our offices to be most effective at bringing on the required symptoms.</p><p>6/ We have negotiated a discount on NRT with our partner-providers at GSK and will be pleased to help any employee rid themselves of yellow-badge status. Affected employees refusing to take up this offer may be terminated at our discretion and without warning. You may be surprised at just how many smoking-related fatal diseases there are, not least smoking-related arsenic poisoning and smoking-related sudden loss of brake-fluid in your car.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">.</span><br /></p><p><br /></p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-3923427410174490918?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-13181441070113377702009-02-17T17:53:00.007Z2009-02-18T16:19:38.996ZDavid Mills Bound For ChokeyTeflon Tessa Jowell's estrangement-of-convenience hubby David Mills has been sentenced to four years' rotting in an Italian jail for corruption.<br /><br />At this time, it is not known whether Mzz Jowell, the nulabor Minister for Olympic Puff, will be claiming his cell as primary-residence.<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13830227-1318144107011337770?l=smokealarm.blogspot.com'/></div>Basil Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10167710264665141715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13830227.post-61055651904610883942009-02-12T19:57:00.006Z2009-02-12T21:30:27.722ZDolly Duck<a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/SZSF_5-AFvI/AAAAAAAAAE0/rdXNvo5S8J8/s1600-h/Donald-Duck-Derek+Draper+-Award.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bvtsMGMI40Y/SZSF_5-AFvI/AAAAAAAAAE0/rdXNvo5S8J8/s200/Donald-Duck-Derek+Draper+-Award.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302009994261042930" border="0" /></a>""Clinical" Psychotherapist" <a href="http://www.order-order.com/2009/02/draper-i-didnt-go-to-berkeley.html">Derek Draper</a> receiving his MA from the University of Ebay last month, before going on to launch his very successful interesting and provocative LabourLost website.
