webofevil: (all hail)
SIMON HEFFER IS A FAT FUCKING LIAR
Ed Balls, the Children’s Minister, has gone down in history—well, according to Hansard at least—as having ejaculated “so weak” from the front bench when, in his response to the Budget, Dave said, quite correctly, that we now have the heaviest tax burden in our history. He in fact yelled out “so what?” ... Hansard was spoken to and the so-called record now reads “so weak”. [Simon Heffer, Telegraph]
The Hansard reporters in the room heard “so weak”, the video footage catches the end of Ed Balls mouthing “weak” and, more to the point, Hansard does not change anything just because it is inconvenient for the government, or indeed for anyone else. Anyone who says otherwise is an ignorant poltroon or an opportunistic shitgiblet.

If this seems like an unnecessarily ad hominem attack on the crapulent unwitting falsehood-spreader [That's a bit better - Legal dept], it’s worth remembering that an attack on Hansard reporters' professionalism and integrity is pretty ad bloody hominem in itself. And nothing less than I would expect from that repellent [the rest of this entry cut for length].
