DEM not gonna CON dis NATION: Rolling UK politics in the short-lived Cleggeron era

Using the LibDems as a human shield is a good line though, unless a furore blows up about it being disrespectful to actual human shields.

not sure human applies to Lib Dems.

so glad that the Labour Party's finally dead and i've got some closure to naive notions of parliamentary democracy ever making this country a better place.

Some John Cleese quote about despair and hope or something here.

Tories use "Shock and Awe" tactics on spending cuts.

Also Balls going "we are governed by right-wing ideologues who don't care about the economy and by the way CUT TAXES NOW!" is not really going to wash.

- makes Labour take the blame;

so unfair! it's almost as if labour actively encouraged the reckless bubble-economy of the 2000s or something.

And Ed Balls had nothing to do with it

Labour will surely win over the public by adopting voodoo-economics (not that there aren't reasons to roll back the Tory increase on VAT, just not the ones that Balls has suggested.)

Crikey

And... Teenager arrested on suspicion of hacking

a bit more http://www.channel4.com/news/claims-lulzsec-hackers-have-obtained-uk-census

they don't seem to be making themselves popular even amongst presumed allies http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6467131/Bethesda_internal_data

Heard about the arrest first, didn't realise it was down to massive government butthurt.

tbh I'm just excited that all the news readers are gonna have to keep saying "Lulzsec" for the next few days

Cameron will claim that "releasing" the data to the Hacking Community is just part of his Big Society initiative and shows his commitment to Open Government and Transparency.

Cameron will have his best Serious Face on for this one

BT/TalkTalk just lost their appeal against the DEA as well. Nice day for it.

It's a great day for the stalking industry if nothing else.

ONS saying they have no evidence the data has been accessed. Seems a bit rash.

Lulzsec saying they didn't hack the census

that's what I'd say when my mates started getting arrested

Yeah, tho they're also pointing out that they haven't ever claimed to have hacked the census, unlike all their other exploits which they readily claim.

Greetings Internets,
 
We have blissfully obtained records of every single citizen who gave their records to the security-illiterate ILXOR MODS for the 2011 Annual ilXor.com pass-the-hat fundraiser.
 
We're keeping them under lock and key though... so don't worry about your privacy (...until we finish re-formatting them for release)
 
Myself and the rest of my Lulz shipmates will then embark upon a trip to ThePirateBay with our beautiful records for your viewing pleasure!
 
Ahoy! Bwahahaha... >:]

Cameron looks like this fella in that pic.

more like Robbie Rotten amirite?

A strike now might be in the interests of the union's boss, but it is not in the interests of its members. Only one in five members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union voted on Wednesday for strike action – the vast majority realise that such a step is unjustifiable.

Danny Alexander, government minister from a party that fewer than one in six members of the electorate voted for.

ya im not sure if politicians should make grand claims about the unexpressed desires of electoral abstainers but hey these cunts have no shame

There's absolutely no reason to join the Conservative Party – and that’s according to David Cameron’s own constituency chairman, Christopher Shale.
In a strategy document seen by The Mail on Sunday, Mr Shale admits that at present there’s ‘no reason to join. Lots of reasons not to’.

The paper, of which Cameron is aware, presents a scathing assessment of the social skills and fundraising efforts of his association.

A senior member of David Cameron's Tory constituency association has been found dead in a toilet at Glastonbury Festival, the BBC understands.

The body of Christopher Shale, chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association, was found at about 0900 BST at the music event in Somerset.

Touting for the 30-something indie tragedian vote

sorry, i meant "wooooh, rock and roll!!!"

Hope Rooney has an alibi.

Amazing if true:

Retailers have hit out after the prospect of a further rise in VAT was floated at a crisis meeting last week between furniture retailers, the Department for Business and the Bank of England

Retailers who attended the meeting on Wednesday - held just two days before Habitat called in the administrators - said that policy makers had “tested the waters” for a further VAT rise.

One retailer told Retail Week that the store groups present found it “scary” that the Government had proposed a further hike.

The source said: “I was really shocked (the meeting) wasn’t about how to stimulate growth”, adding that any further rise would decimate retail sales.

That just seems crazy, even if it was just "testing the waters".

Don't know if anyone saw the Tory who was on Newsnight last night defending the government's pensions reforms - I didn't even catch his name - but, you know, smug, loathsome, unprincipled, the same way they have been since the year dot. I will never forgive the Liberal Democrats for unleashing these cunts on the country.

oh there's a lot of blame to go around.

Yes, but they really deserve it

Paxman?

I jest of course, although his sneering about school holidays was revolting. There was such a lot of tories on there last night it's difficult to single one out, Francis Maude, Nick Boles, Brian Coleman?

Boles, thank God I didn't see all of the programme!

Jesus, his wiki page...

Boles was a scholar at Winchester College before studying PPE at Magdalen College, Oxford, then winning a Kennedy Scholarship

i often wonder, when feeling cynical, whether 'studying PPE' is a euphemism for 'buying an oxbridge degree in order to go into politics'.

would love to see the class breakdown of PPE entrants and final results.

good to see the Labour party standing by its principles and supporting a Trade Union's right to oh hang on Burnham
