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].

Oh, it's there (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM6plAeFwUs&feature=related) all right. It's just that, like Guido Fawkes's blog, it's a lightning rod for the fanatically angry right-wing, disaffected anti-immigration middle-class types who have no real reason to bitch but have been persuaded by the Mail and similar that their lives have been DESTROYED by politically correctness.

Comment most likely to give anyone who actually has to watch these two in action the dry heaves: "Cameron and Osbourne are the ones to make Britain great again"

Comment most likely to have been posted by someone at Tory central office: "lol cameron is hilarious he spices up the house of commons"

I actually read the rest of his article and from first to last it's a poisonous little diatribe, isn't it? Per my post yesterday about a similarly vituperous rant in the Times about that Mills woman, I am increasingly shocked that this sort of crap gets printed at all. It's blog-padding, and not high quality blog-padding at that.

Dude. We should start our own pigging newspaper.

I met a terrible right wing blogger. Devil's Kitchen. He was the biggest arsehole I've ever encountered.

He's not a blogger, he's a model.

I think you'll find that beauty is in the eye of the libertarian beholder.

Heh, how drunk was he? I've met him a few times, (and his ex turned up at Conference and was amased I knew who she was), he gets more and more obnoxious depending on alcohol consumption, which is why he's trying to cut back.

I find him mostly fairly amusing.

Quite drunk and still talking about what he did at University. He also denied the existence of global warming.
