How long before Boris Johnson becomes Boris Jinxson?
Mind you, Hazel Blears having a pop at the Tories is like being savaged by a bin-end ball of wool harvested from the arse-end of a sheep on life-support whose doctor is Harold Shipman.
Here’s a link to an earlier (from August 2006) Tory Logo image just to rebutt a comment (but not accusation) on another blog which pointed out that the image in this post is similar to someone else’s. You’ll see that, unless Boris launched his Mayoral campaign in the summer of 2006, I was using a chopped down tree much earlier than the commenter.
But, as most lumber barons will appreciate, when you see a tree, the first thing you want to do is chop it down, so I’m sure there are many felled Tory Tree images floating around the web.
As for the letters trailing off, I think that’s even more obvious an embellishment than the original gag.
Here’s an attempt at a different ensemble.
Normally, when you do a face or head swap in an image editor, you need to find parts that fit naturally and if you don’t, then it’s rarely worth doing as the differences in angles, skintones and light direction are too damn obvious.
I foolishly kept on going with this attempt but cheated in order to disguise some of the problems by over-saturating the image and overlaying a halftone.
Here’s another attempt :
….I was waiting for this - And the prize for the first dickhead, trying to claim the image is homophobic to suit his/her agenda is the totally impartially named ‘zanuliebours’ on Tory Trolls blog.
The Reservoir Dogs seems to be taking over (as planned), with Boris Johnson abdicating responsibility and being kept out of the loop by his masters. Who are Boris’s Dick Cheneys?
Nick Clegg agrees to abandon Lib Dem voters in Haltemprice and Howden to support (edit) Conservatives’ and/or David Davis’ publicity campaign on 42 days.
For those relatively new to the site who may be wondering where my new version of the Lib-Dem bird came from, view this video which I put together while Chris Huhne and Nick Clegg were battling it out over who was going to replace Menzies Campbell :
There’s seems to be a rather heated discussion on the blogs about Caroline Spelman and her children’s nanny or should I say Caroline Spelman’s secretary - or should I say a magical constituency secretarial nanny.
An extremely hard-working genuine multi-tasker. She must have been knackered in that one year having to fulfill so many duties.
It seems pretty easy to get to the truth.
She was working as constituency secretary during school hours and was paid quite correctly via Ms Spelman’s parliamentary allowance.
According to The Times, she worked as a nanny after the kids returned from school for only her board, lodgings and the use of a car (pretty stingy in my opinion).
So in the several years after she relinquished her role as secretary but remained as a nanny, she would not have received any salary from Caroline Spelman - just the accomodation etc., unless she had a magical pay award.
All that has to be shown by the Conservatives or by the nanny herself is that no salary was paid in the years after the secretarial work stopped and that’s the end of it.
What do I believe ? A cock-up on the Spelman front but not dishonest.
However, the excuses and explanations seem totally dishonest.
The hypocrisy shown on the blogs, claims of conspiracy and the predictable whining about the BBC is pathetic.
Four Hundred and Sixty Five Grand for his team, some of whom have already completed their tasks.

and a mention for image-thieving-for-profit Associated Newspapers as well. The London Evening Standard checked out the costs. The paper is now suggesting a special type of extended congestion charge zone for the citizens of Kensington and Chelsea.
The difficulty is however that those living in the western zone, a largely residential area, have become used to their resident’s discount and would suffer if traffic levels rose following abolition of the extension. Also, more motorists in the western zone would affect the many cyclists passing through it en route to central London. The answer could be concessions on charging hours so that commuters by road were still discouraged but it became easier to visit shops inside the zone.
So, a nice little congestion-gated community in London then…
