Labour - Lowering the Bar *UPDATED*

I've been away from the net, and caught precious little news over the last week, which has been like a breath of fresh air.

But this latest Labour stunt, auctioning a copy of the Hutton Whitewash, autographed by Cherie Blair [it's a financial matter so she is 'Blair' rather than 'Booth'] re defines crass.

Labour is being urged to apologise after raising cash by auctioning a copy of Lord Hutton's report into the death of weapons scientist Dr David Kelly.

According to a Commons motion tabled by Tory MP Stewart Jackson, the event took place at the Arts Club in Mayfair last week and raised £400 for party coffers.

It was "in appalling bad taste" and had distressed the Kelly family, he said.

He added that it was wrong to make money from the report, which was signed by Cherie Blair...

You could always ask your MP to sign the EDM...

UPDATE:
May God, Allah, Jehova, Shiva or the ghost of the dear departed Dr Hunter S Thompson bless Beau Bo D’Or for this frontpage:)

Also worth checking out the comments on Guido Fawkes blog on the subject:

Yet again the sheer degradation, depravity and thoughtless from a remote and ultimutly detached government strikes Britain again.

The despicable antics of Blairs family, let alone his government are systemic of a government without principle, ideology or popular support. In the words of Robin Cook it is a government that knows no shame and hides no shame or for that matter remourse. His words related to the goverment they sort to replace.

Obviously not only did they take many of their policies (the tories)to build on but also the disgusting behaviour of MP's, minister's, party apprechicks and hangers on and behave in an even worse fashion.

Judgement day will come and they deserve a hammering of the same magnatude the tories recieved in 1997 or worse. The poor and deprived in this country do not have a voice - abandend to a squalor and overty in life only matched by the shambolic behaviour of the government.

Personally, I could warm to the idea of getting a hospital report (surely not beyond the powers of a British tabloid) on the suicide attempt of the young daughter of a certain well-known family. It could have the details of her physical condition when she was taken to the hospital, the various tests carried out of her, her treatment and her psychological report, etc and be signed by her chief doctor. If auctioned off, it would fetch a fair penny as a novelty item. Of course, you might be found to have slit your wrists in a country lane close to your home later on ...
You'd think if eother of them had a scrap of humanity that Tony and Cruella would both be sensitive to issues around suicide after their family's problems. If they couldn't imagine how the Kelly family might feel about this trashy act how can either claim to feel any understanding for anyone?

It really beggars belief

It really beggars belief doesn't it? There seems to be no level of bad taste to which she won't stoop.

Trailer-trash ... nothing

Trailer-trash ... nothing more, nothing less.
