LABOUR sources have claimed that disgraced spin doctor Damian McBride has begun operating once again behind the scenes for Labour government.
Just weeks after McBride was forced to resign after writing an e-mail suggesting that Conservative leaders be smeared, insiders say the former special adviser is actively working for ministers again.

Downing Street last night insisted McBride had not returned. But one respected party figure said that while the former adviser was not working at Number 10, he was engaged in informal briefings once again.

Labour spin and spite? Scotland would be so much better rid of all these Unionist twisters. Westminster and all its works make me cringe. Get rid!

We cannot afford to wait until next year for a general election because, by that time, the Irish and others who have not yet ratified the Lisbon Treaty will probably have been offered massive bribes which they will accept. Once we are completely under the control of the EU, it will be extremely difficult and horrendously expensive for us to get our country back again. We won't be Scottish any longer but European, and the UK will be wiped off the map.

David Cameron knows full well that, once the Treaty is ratified by all, there isn't much he can do because Gordon Brown has sold us to foreign powers. We cannot afford to wait and hope that Cameron will be in power and give us the referendum that Labour delivered and failled to deliver. Brown accepted the £10.000,000 carrot for ratifying and, i suspect that he has a nice plum job in the EU waiting for him. Between them Blair and Brown have ruined our country in many ways, one of them being allowing a massive influx of immigrants and using our tax money to pay them benefits.

People should have been doing their homework and got themselves clued up on the Lisbon Treaty. The EU Soviet draws nearer each day.

Worse than McBride is the new status given to Mandelson, "The Prince Of Darkness".And I'd bet London to a donut that A.Campbell is still stirring the dirt somewhere in Brown's promotion of villains.What a cess pool we have running this country.

If this chap is earning money from the public purse, then whoever employed and sanctioned his employment should be fired.

Hopefully, Nadine Dorries whom he tried to sleaze will sue McBride for slander.

I wonder if any of you has tried to keep a pig AWAY from a trough.

I once made a mistake of giving a pig a piece of chocolate. I'll never do that again. I narrowly escaped serious injury. But that picture in my mind is what I consider Labour supporters like McBride and Labour politicians are like when you feed them from the public purse.

#4 Observer: I'm surprised at you, that's a grievous insult to a fine breed of dog. You will have to come up with something much more slimy and villainous with which to compare that little t*rd.

#10 For Scotlands Future: Don't you think using those terms to describe a member of Her Majesty's Government might be construed as libellous?

Open and more accountable? That will be you and me but certainly not Gordon Brown - the leopard just not change its spots and this was never truer in his case. Anyone who can employ McBride and Meddlesome is in slime up to his ears.

Just read am article in the Sunday Times. It's easy to see why Comrade Broon does not want an election.

"Labour is already haemorrhaging financial support at a time when it should be amassing an election war chest. It is now clear that Brown has failed to retain the wealthy backers so successfully wooed by Tony Blair. Brown’s leadership is a key factor in the decision of other tycoons neither to lend nor give cash to the party.

Another generous supporter, who would not be named, said he will not contribute again while Brown remains leader and that he should resign.

“Gordon is a political liability and I think it would be far better for the party if he stood down to give us a fighting chance at the election,” he said. “I will give no more money to Labour while he is leading it.”


So we're not alone in thinking Comrade Broon is a clown!

Just watch the manoeuvring to get state funding of political parties!!
