Might it be that all presently shitting in the people's face are now preparing, in mr yardarm's phrase, to "crawl into a Guvament of (pan) National Unity and help preserve the meal tickets of those most responsible for the forthcoming Ruin.?"<br /><br />On the Pee Em programme, with Eddie Smug, just now, Labour voices were saying Oh, fuck me, hang on, let's not be nasty to the LibDems - effectively saying that the political caste need each other more than they need us; which is only a basic tenet of Ishmaelian Ruin but indicates the public preparedness of Filth to cling to Power at absolutely any cost; crisis and indefinite national Govament does keep all the fuckers happy, doesn't it?call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-18468130747503731242010-11-23T16:46:49.594+00:002010-11-23T16:46:49.594+00:00I agree with all you say, Mr jgm2, exccept for the...I agree with all you say, Mr jgm2, exccept for the R-word - which is why the Germans will end up paying.

Right now Adams and McGuinness will be preparing their speeches along the lines of 'Sure didn't we throw the fuckers out in 1922, and now, in our hour of need they're bleeding us dry' followed by plenty of famine references.<br /><br />Ireland will go from being a cocky Celtic Tiger to a sullen charity case in the blink of an eye and, politically there is no way an Irish government could get away with paying the UK 10% on 7bn when we're printing money at 0%. Fuck 'em the Micks will say. Let them print up another 7bn quid. We've got the cash now. It's all spent.<br /><br />We'll pay you what it cost you to print it up. Fuck all.<br /><br />Ireland? Pay the UK 10% on printed sterling? Not a fucking hope.

And...Osborne is more Irish than I am, Mr Ishmael. <br /><br />And I have to say in his defence that the extra loan to the Paddies is a wizard wheeze. The Paddies borrow money today at what - 10%, 12% maybe. The Brits borrow money at 2-3%. Instant annual 8-9% profit on £7billion, was it? And the punchline for those of you who like irony is that when the night comes falling from the sky, the poor bloody Germans will have to pay most of it.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-60278109365021641512010-11-23T11:07:14.590+00:002010-11-23T11:07:14.590+00:00" Ireland is a friend in need ".

That`s why after months of spinning " There`s no more money so piss off public sector/the poor " seven billion appears out of the ether to bail out the dosh jugglers.<br /><br />Mr Mongoose uttered a deadly truth when he said there isn`t enough money confidence to go around. So when the Great Chair Polisher Terror of 2011 kicks off and a chain reaction rips apart the global economy the best Ed can do will be to crawl into a Guvament of National Unity and help preserve the meal tickets of those most responsible for the forthcoming Ruin.yardarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700165830593026578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-31480814858155661352010-11-23T03:00:32.272+00:002010-11-23T03:00:32.272+00:00Does he know that, mr m?Does he know that, mr m?call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-4817628777177819752010-11-23T02:32:53.215+00:002010-11-23T02:32:53.215+00:00Osborne isn't the brains of the outfit, Mr I.Osborne isn't the brains of the outfit, Mr I.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-18316519426315584152010-11-23T02:10:11.938+00:002010-11-23T02:10:11.938+00:00All of that - I hoped - was sort of implicit, mr ...All of that - I hoped - was sort of implicit, mr jgm2 but its good you took the time to spell it out - basically it's the opposition of nitpicking, jumped-up charlatanry masquerading as wit and industry and perspicacity. They have no alternatives because they, too, are Power's servants. Strangely, though, if there was ever a time, post-war, for a revival, an attempted revival, of the founding principles of the Labour Party, an assault on EarthCrime's jamboree and a retreat from the Gang of Four's unopposed coup, this, shortly, is it. Even Jeremy Arsehole on Newsnight is damning capitalism as a blot on the landscape. But as you say. Labour is a career choice, no more than that. Ed Miliband, like the whole money farce, it's almost beyond belief. If they'd advertised for an ineffectual, infuriating moron they couldn't have done better.<br /><br />My sources say Belgium is next, mr m, but it doesn't matter, it will be one of them, just not the Frogs or the Hermans. I think you over-rate Mr Spunkface, by the way; if he was clever he would find some other form of words than Ireland, safe haven to the IRA, is our best friend; the politics still matters, especially among the Tory outlanders.<br /><br />Too kind, mr dtp, he's easy meat, Miliband, too easy.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-79316397246578822632010-11-23T00:39:05.792+00:002010-11-23T00:39:05.792+00:00Dear Mr Ish

And indeed it is such that Oppositions have always done - of any colour or creed. The fatal hole in the fucking boat though is that it is too soon. The people still remember. McDoom still stalks the burning land, his gurning and dribbling still fresh in the memory.<br /><br />The killer for the Luvvies though is that Ireland has just fallen. Portugal will be next. Greece has been fudged - but for how long will that last? And when Spain goes down, the Euro goes down. And when the Euro goes down, the EU goes down and becomes some mad, dead, Socialist looniness, and then the Tories are free. I do not think that there is enough money confidence to keep all these things in the air this time around. Maybe this is the calculation that Cameron's clever friend has taken. A fixed Parliament five year window to lance the European boil.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-34664006108746864992010-11-22T23:04:08.015+00:002010-11-22T23:04:08.015+00:00Yesterday (was it) we had that fucking horrible ec...Yesterday (was it) we had that fucking horrible economy-destroying facilitator Ned Balls hinting that just maybe they might have been a bit over-exuberant looking to lock up people without charge for 90 days. And indeed 42 days. Maybe it would be more 'the right thing to do' to drop it to <i>only</i> 14 days.<br /><br />But we both know, Mr Ishmael, that this late-in-the-day contrition is merely to sucker the coalition into proposing less authoritarian legislation just so tha, when the Bill actually comes before Parliament, they (Labour) can then pull out all the 'Tories are not serious about protecting us from Islamic terrorism' horseshit. They'll object to some tiny word just to give their opposition to the entire bill the veneer of respectability just as they objected to the PR legislation even though it was in their own fucking manifesto.<br /><br />Then they'll be on TV in sonorous tones railing against the reckless Tories and Liberals who want Islamists to kill us all just because they're too squeamish to bang 'em up for 42 days without charge. Like we used to. Because it's the right thing to do.<br /><br />Guaranteed. Because Labour is just a career choice for cunts these days.jgm2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-73669902538669292992010-11-22T22:49:14.405+00:002010-11-22T22:49:14.405+00:00That's it?

What Labour will do is point out that they were going to cut by 29% and not 30% (or 19% and not 20%. Or 9% and not 10%). Basically whatever the Tories decide to cut then Labour would have cut by about a fiver less. But definitely less. And later. Because the Tory cuts are ideologically driven whereas Labour's cuts are made with a heavy heart. Because the Tories are heartless bastards whereas Labour would be just be 'doing the right thing'.<br /><br />And on any specific item then obviously Labour would not have cut that at all. So the student fees. No, wouldn't have touched that. Defence? Housing benefit? No, wouldn't have touched that. So, this 29% (or 19% or 9%) of cuts. Where would you have made them? Somewhere else. But not on that. Or that. Or that. We would never have cut that. Or that. But obviously there would have had to be cuts. Just less than the Tories. And later. A dollar less and a day later. And not on anything specific.<br /><br />And, do you know what Mr Ishmael. It will work. Labour will be the next government.jgm2noreply@blogger.com
