PigPen Gordon Brown – the Bully.
It is an unexpected pleasure to be able to credit the Metropolitan Police with anything good – almost unbelievable that it should be a witticism concerning our bullying Prime Minister!
I did, though, once work opposite the semi-secretive garage in South London where they repaired the various milk floats, removal vans and taxis that they use for covert observation, and still remember the beaten-up Bedford van with it’s original name expertly made to look as though it had faded with time, and the words ‘keeping the streets clear of filth’ just legible underneath. Perhaps they do have a sense of humour.
Apparently his Protection Officers have code named him ‘PigPen Brown’ in honour of the Charlie Brown character who was always followed by a cloud of dirt and dust. In the Prime Minister’s case it is a cloud of allegations regarding bullying that he never quites shakes clear of.
The bullying allegations refuse to go away, now reinforced by a Mail on Sunday exclusive, giving details of an interview with Downing Street insider Stewart Wood, who has confirmed that he was ‘shocked and upset‘ by the Prime Minister’s behaviour towards him.
Sending Prescott out in red-faced, finger jabbing, bullying mode to vehemently deny the bullying allegations was not the smartest public relations move; belittling the complainants by fielding Mandelson on TV claiming that he ‘took his punishment like a man’ was equally counter-productive, but nothing could have sealed the belief that the allegations were true more than the truly horrendous bullying of Christine Pratt for speaking up to contradict Mandelson’s lies.
She has been pilloried in the press by journalists close to Brown (Yes, Kevin Maguire, you!) revealing details 
of previous court cases, her company details have been removed from the government web-site, and labour activists have kept up a stream of Twitter messages belittling her in a bout of cyber bullying.
Meanwhile, damning new figures reveal that civil servants working for the explosive PM took 987 days off due to “mental disorders” like stress and depression last year. His outbursts have driven some staff to quit.
Gordon Brown will this week reveal that he ‘pledges to head the first government to crack anti-social behaviour’ – in the same week that Publican Nick Hogan was sent to prison for six months for allowing smoking in his licensed premises.
We have all been comprehensibly bullied by this government. It is time to stand up to the bullies.

In today’s “news” Dr Stewart Wood claims Gordon Brown “pushed him”.
No doubt he called Feathersone-Hawe a stinker as well.
What a bunch of big girl’s blouse’s and Nancy boy’s.

Seems a shame that Wood didn’t give Brown a smack in the ear. I certainly would have done.

Also in today’s news Stewart Wood denies that Brown pushed him, merely that he pushed past him. Did! Didn’t! Did! Didn’t! etc.

“Gordon Brown will this week reveal that he ‘pledges to head the first government to crack anti-social behaviour’”
A slip of the tongue from Gordon. He meant to say was he wanted to crack anti-socialist behaviour.
Private property is no longer private and an increasing number of people are being harrassed by the state when on public property. They are our streets not the State’s. When did they stop representing us and working for us and instead set their faces against us? Why on earth do we keep voting for this?
It isn’t even a tyranny of the majority – lobbygroups, the EU and fake charities all hold much greater sway in the corridors of power than any massed rank of voters.

Last week I received a leaflet inviting me to work with the police against anti-social behaviour in my neighbourhood. Good to know Gordon will soon be pledging to put into practice something else he’s already put into practice.

The Ministry of Truth is alive and well!
OT, I know, but I’ve not yet recovered from watching Marr try to get something sensible from that loathsome Peter Hain. Every single one of these buggers is slippery and long-winded!
Thank God the Tories aren’t slippery and long….
Oh. Wait…
