Return of the Mandelson

[DexterTCN]

How does that make you lefties feel ? Are you really that scared of the Tories that you would let that cunt Mandleson, who has to be the most corrupt and venal politician of our age, effectively take control of things ?

Indeed he is an extremely nasty piece of work. No arguing with that. It can be argued about the 'most corrupt and venal'. He's nothing compared to the corruption that went on with the tories in the 80s and 90s.

Seems like bad judgement from Brown, to me, unless Mandy is bringing something to the table. But Brown's never really been a politican, as such, he just gets on with it.

Nino...mandy was a lefty before he went to Oxford. I don't think Stoat was saying mandy was a lefty though, just asking what 'lefties' were thinking about it.

Sion Simons is now a minister (for "skills") and there is talk that Blunkett may be making a return. What is Gorgon thinking?

He's lost it. He looks like he's thinking by bringing back all the big names it'll disperse the media coverage away from him, give the impression of a strong set of players and scare the Tories into panic. Idiot.

Nino...mandy was a lefty before he went to Oxford.

That was then, this is now. Denis Healy was once a member of the Communist Party then look what happened. He's still more left wing than Brown though.

 

[DexterTCN]

Yes...many experiment with the Left.

Only the pure of heart stay.

 

[Wolveryeti]

The statement released about his appointment waffled on about the badly needed 'experience' he brings to government.

As far as I can see the only experience he has is of inexplicably weaselling his way back into high places after being disgraced time after time. The slimy teflon coated twat.

.

So what was comparable with his taking an undeclared loan from a fellow MP who was being investigated for his role in a pension fraud by the very department Mandleson just happened to be in charge of ?

Really would like to know which senior Conservative Minister was comparable and if the Tory in question was then bought back into Government on two occassions ?

 

[shagnasty]

The proof of the pudding will be the eating will it keep the blairites quiet even as labour lurches to oblivion

 

[Bernie Gunther]

That was then, this is now. Denis Healy was once a member of the Communist Party then look what happened. He's still more left wing than Brown though.

Richard Nixon was more left-wing than Brown.

Stupid question, though.

Are you really that scared of the Tories that you would let that cunt Mandleson [...] effectively take control of things ?

How did 'lefties' "let" him do anything? How would 'lefties' prevent him from effectively taking control of things? Why ask the question of 'lefties' any more than, say, Lanarkshire beekeepers?

He's a rightwing politician coming into a rightwing government by being made a Lord.

 

[butchersapron]

Richard Nixon was more left-wing than Brown.

So was Reegan - him and Nixon the two biggest practictioners of Keynesianism in history.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I don't see why the prince of darkness has to be in the cabinet in order to cook up spin and stir the shit? Surely he can do that from afar in a way that benefits NL but isn't so unacceptable to the public?

Or is that not how these things work. Does the slimey little egotist need to be in the public in eye in order to function?

 

[derf]

Picked this news up on TV here yesterday.
I can't believe that Brown is suck a fucking idiot as to bring that corrupt bastard back into UK politics.

I'm just waiting to see what the papers dig up this time. Bet it's going to be good.

 

[trevhagl]

Yet another reason for getting these new labour shysters out of office.

The fact that Lord Digby Jones is deserting the sinking ship is also a bad sign for New Labour.

Why?

 

[trevhagl]

I think New Labour are on full steam ahead self destruct....reemploying a fiddling, lying bastard is bad enough, but fuck me, a Bilderberg stooge too....

 

[nino_savatte]

Richard Nixon was more left-wing than Brown.

Ain't that the truth?
