How McBride planned to attack Osborne

Laura

Why are they obsessed with Osborne? With the IHT proposal Osborne stopped the election and Brown's chance of destroying the Tory party forever. Simples.

Wilhelm

I saw a photo of Lord Myners in his 20s in a bra and suspenders in the News of the World a few weeks ago, he's the thicko who ok RBS boss Sir Freds £700.000 a year pension.

Englishmen seem to like dressing up as women.

Perseus

Does this scandal mean the story I heard abgout Ken Clark and the transvestite Peruvian llama is not true?

CS

***Englishmen seem to like dressing up as women.***

You said exactly the same thing a few weeks ago. I think it's you who gets excited thinking of Englishmen dressed as women.

Grunt

Perseus - don't believe everything you read on the net - there are many rogues and villains out there. In fact it is a bit like the Wild West.

Stephen

"It is, obviously, out of order it is to try and attack someone’s spouse". Well Mr Blair will be thankful he was never a victim of this wicked ruse. While we enjoy the discomfort caused by this appalling episode let's not be so hypocritical as to claim some moral high ground. It's not as though this game is only played by one team. As long as we, the voting public are gullible, stupid and prejudiced enough to be taken in by this sort of behaviour those desperate for our votes will resort to any tactic to gain power. Allegations of cross-dressing, or innuendo about a mother's decision about MMR vaccine the principal remains the same. He who dares, wins.

The Snuke

Willhelm, it's because we're emotionally stunted. Thankfully alcohol and frocks lets it all out.

Wilhelm

CS

Let met correct you, CS because you need to be corrected on a few things.

1 . I saw Richard Branson dressed as Wonderwoman, not a pretty sight, catch it on Youtube.
2. I saw Jades husband dressed as a woman before the wedding.
3 . Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow and bitchy old queen David Starkey who makes history programmes about other old queens dressed as two old housewives advertising the More 4 channel. Hideous.

As an outsider I can see these national traits that a native cant or is unwilling to admit. Its the English panto tradition that goes back to Shakespeares day when females werent allowed to act, so the males took the female parts and it goes up to the present day of Carry On films, Dick Emery and David Walliams from Little
Britain.

We dont have that kinda behavour in Europe.

CS squeels ''You said exactly the same thing a few weeks ago.''

Is that the crime of the century, to repeat yoursel twice, is it ?

Florence Nightingale

" We don't have that kind of behaviour in Europe".
In the '60s I visited a night club in Berlin called Chez Nous.I was in my mid 20s and a nursing officer in the British Army- not easily shocked one might say- but what I saw that night shocked the hell out of me!
Nothing happens in Britain that didn't happen in Europe first, so stop pontificating, Wilhelm!

James

Sorry Wilhelm, but you only repeated yourself once.

JohnAnt

We have the scandal of the decade, implicating the Prime Minister's close advisors in personal, malicious libellous attacks on the Opposition, and you lot are chatting about cross-dressing??

Poppy Koch

James I’m still feeling you want to have a sneaking respect. Looking for hunches about why they do things? Accept it. It is simple really, they all have a few chromosomes missing...Gordon Brown, John Prescott...

In days gone by your mum would have told you to keep away from people that looked like most of the labour party. Then we grew up listening to politically correct thought police who have primed recent generations to ignore this kind of home-spun wisdom. See what happens!

Perseus

Grunt, thanks for the advice and there was me looking forward to seeing the pictures.

I guess I'll just have to look forward to reading about the story I heard about Michael Gove's torid affair with Bagpuss...

TrevorsDen

the reason that Labour are obsessed with Osborne is that he is the one shadow chancellor who took it to Gordon and he obviously did not like it up him

David Ossitt

TrevorsDen
who took it to Gordon.

Silly sod also tried to take it to Peter Benjamin Mandelson, he gets an A for effort but an E for the result.

Polly (Transgirl)

Wilhelm: In fact, thankfully you do have 'that kinda behaviour in Europe' despite the Nazi crime of the last century which involved trying to exterminate all LGBT people.

Wilhelm

Polly sweetheart

Im not for or against English truck drivers dressing up as women and calling themselves Doris, Ive just noticed it, thats all.

Ps . Im Swiss.

By the way, whats The Third Reich gotta do with the price of butter ?

Polly (Transgirl)

Obviously, by your reply, Wilhelm...you don't hate transgendered people, but I'm actually really disappointed that our government has seen fit to assume that an easy way to discredit someone in the eyes of the British public would be to infer that they're trans. They obviously haven't got a very high opinion of the intelligence of those whom they're thinking might vote for them and personally I think that Nulab are trying to outdo the BNP by trying to seem more right-wing so they can catch the far right vote.

Btw...what do you mean by 'the price of butter'? I've heard LGBT stands for Lettuce, Bacon & Tomato before but I'm totally lost on the 'price of butter' thing? (btw...Switzerland - very beautiful country:)

Wilhelm

Polly

The phrase '' Whats that gotta do with the price of butter '' or it could be fish , is an expression which is used to denote something which is unrelated to the current topic of discussion.

It comes from 1920s America '' Whats that gotta do with the price of eggs.''

Mr Deep Thinker

A load of drivel in order to divert attention from the effects of the current economic depression.
