Mr I.<br /><br />The infamous Sun cover 'Are we being run by a gay cabal?'<br /><br />Editor Yelland was quickly removed from the scene and virtually all reference to that edition vanished from the web.<br /><br />Seems like Yelland was asking the right question.a young anglo irish catholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-67317978572708757452010-07-21T10:33:12.752+01:002010-07-21T10:33:12.752+01:00Mandelson promoting himself as the Prospero of New...Mandelson promoting himself as the Prospero of New Labour with Brown as the lumpen Caliban.

A noise that could kill in Kate Bush's crappy song perhaps?<br /><br /> Perhaps, as Mike has stated, the civil service were complicit in this but I would not level an accusatory allegation of guilt. On TeeVee a few weeks ago there was a documentary on 'the great offices of state', with no hint of irony! But one small detail that was presented with no explanation was that when Brown left the Treasury there was only 1 dude who was there before. Now fuck me sideways with a pineapple but surely to fuckety fuck that is slightly terrifying in extremis. That in his paranoid, drug addled fucked up to kingdom come head he'd screwed every single one of the mother fuckers who'd actually worked through a recession before, had experience, knew what the fuck they were talking about.<br /><br /> As mentioned, i've just jacked in my political job and it was a massive eye-opener in that i've studied both politics & economics since I was 16 and within about a week realized I knew fuck all as much as I thought i did so the McCunt of Ruin just thought; 'fuck you and all that you stand for'. That he could not cope with critism, disagreement, alternatives and thus, the obvious solution being to get rid of the mudda fuckers seemed but a natural response to some upstart erudite warnings. <br /><br /> Would it be that civil servants had authority, but thay don't. I dunno if they should, I guess despair prevails again.Dick the Prickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683095612320513712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-3715174351338587402010-07-20T13:06:21.320+01:002010-07-20T13:06:21.320+01:00Interesting and easy question for any honest MP to...Interesting and easy question for any honest MP to ask at PMQs tomorrow: "Will the Prime Minister immediately release into the public domain the medical examiner's report of Dr David Kelly's post mortem?"<br /><br />Piece of cake.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-15720984285357287162010-07-20T10:18:53.232+01:002010-07-20T10:18:53.232+01:00I like the version of this tale where Campbell sho...I like the version of this tale where Campbell shoots the Baron in a sewer out of sheer pique.

Too keen on gongs, money and sinecures they allowed the politicisation of the upper levels of the civil service, thereby becoming the assistants in the trashing of the country.
