Actually, that’s not entirely true. Back in 2012 the people of Greater Manchester were treated to a referendum on the issue of an elected Mayor. We told the government that it could shove the mayor up its arse. We didn’t want one. It was a unanimous decision. And one that that posh cunt, Gideon Osborne has completely ignored, since we’re now having a mayor forced upon us. So much for democracy. At no point will the people of Greater Manchester be involved in this.
In case you’re wondering, the two candidates were, Labour man Lord Peter Smith. And….erm….Labour man Tony Lloyd. So there you go, democracy in action. Two Labour shitbags and no other candidates. You should also know that Lloyd also happens to be Greater Manchester’s Police and Crime Commissioner, and he will NOT be resigning from that post if he’s made Mayor.
It’s not just the fact that the wishes of the people of Greater Manchester were ignored that’s making my piss boil. It’s the fact that democracy has been well and truly shit on throughout. We’re not allowed to know what the salary of the Mayor will be, though it’s allegedly in excess of £100,000. There’s been no campaigning or public debates, or publishing of manifestoes, because the candidates haven’t been allowed to do any of that.
So Greater Manchester will be saddled with yet another layer of bureaucracy, that no one outside politics wanted. And we will be saddled with this useless twat until they finally allow us to vote in 2017. Or 2019. They haven’t actually decided yet. I have actually written to Numbers 10 & 11 Downing Street over this, expressing my anger at their complete and utter contempt for both democracy, and for the will of the people. No replies have been forthcoming. Even when I sent Osborne and Cameron an email each, expressing my opinion that they were arrogant, ignorant, over privileged arsewipes, (yes, I actually did that). What is the point in holding a referendum on an issue, if you’re just going to ignore it because you don’t like the result?
This is what will happen when we finally get the referendum on our EU membership. If the majority of British voters vote to leave the EU, that smug cocksucker in No 10 will simply ignore the result, and work with Brussels to enact some kind of stitch up. What really worries me though, is that if they can piss on the democratic process over something relatively minor, like a Mayor, they can easily do it over something more important.
Remember Friday the 29th of May 2015 is the day that democracy died in Britain. And I’m not being dramatic when I say that.

Just to add. For those who don’t know, Tony Lloyd won, though has apparently said he would only take one salary. Presumably, that would be higher of the two. And in the past week or so, an early contender for the first ELECTED Mayor has slithered its way in to view. I say slithered, because I’m talking about Peter Mandelson. Mandelson recently announced his candidacy for the honorary position of Chancellor of Manchester University.
He was asked if he intended to stand for election as Mayor, and being a politician, refused to answer it. Now if I’d been doing the interview, that would have been the point he got a slap, and told to answer the fucking question. But it was a BBC cock jockey, so he got away with it. Anyway, why would someone with NO links to Manchester, possibly want the position of Chancellor, unless there a was a bigger ambition at play?
Obviously, it’s by no means certain that he’ll become Chancellor. If he does though, it’ll put him in a pretty good position to stand for Mayor. I don’t know about any other Mancunian, but I certainly won’t tolerate that slimy bastard setting up shop in MY city. He may find himself becoming the first person in 75 years to be killed by an arrow shot from an English longbow. (Google Mad Jack Churchill for that reference).
For any snoopers, I was not at all serious about shooting Mandelson with an arrow shot from a longbow. He’s not worth the fucking time.

Mandelson. University chancellor. Young university age boys.
Join the dots.

What spectacular timing. As I was typing out my diatribe about Mandelson, the results for the election came in. He lost. Someone called Lemn Sissay will be the new Chancellor of Manchester. Oh dear. Never mind “Lord” Mandelson. I hear Merseyside are thinking about having a Mayor. You’d be more suited to having an office in Liverpool to be honest. They’re a bunch of thieving cunts too.

I thought Manelson was now in the peerage wilderness and only visiting his boyfriend Tony Blair for recreational sex and political briefings to stay in touch.
I have also noticed the Labourite sleaze ball faggot Peter Mandelson, has not been properly cunted on is-a-cunt at all. (the cunt has only been mentioned here on 2 ignored cuntings 6 years ago).
Wasn’t it this Manelson cunt, along with Blair and snot face Gordon Brown that consigned the Labour Party to the dustbin of history by creating New Labour in 1997? As Northern Ireland Secretary in 1999 the cunt was instrumental in giving the likes of Gerry Adams and his IRA Sinn Fein Party power sharing status in N. Ireland. And who can forget cunt Manelson’s white elephant project Millennium Dome, eventually sold for the price of 2p to Meridian Delta company who turned the Dome into the O2 music venue arena.

The council up here is crap anyway…. This is how much they listen to the people who live here: 85% of people said no to emptying grey dustbins every three weeks (ie: as good as once a month!)… Did they take notice? Did they fuck…. One of the council toadies actually went and said to the papers that 85% of people were for the bin changes… Patronising as well as useless…
As someone born and bred in Manchester I can’t argue with any of what you’ve said, QDM… The whole thing is a bad joke and (as usual) people and services are the last priority… And Peter Mandelson is one of the biggest, slipperiest cunts in British history…

Pat Karney’s another one who needs a cunting. I’ll do one when I get more time. He’s a bigger media whore than Keith Vaz, and that cunt has never seen a camera he didn’t like. What a dildo Karney looked at the Manchester day parade, being interviewed in a suit, and with his fucking boat race painted. It still makes me smile when I think of his claim to be related to Barry O.

Taylor Swift is a cunt… Apple (for once!) do something half decent for their customers and offer a free three month iTunes trial… But little Taylorkins isn’t happy about it… Oh dear me, no…. The talent free bint has refused permisson for her latest piece of musical torture (her ‘1989’ album) to be downloaded or streamed during this free trial… Her reason for this? ‘Three months is a long time to go without bring paid…’ It is a long time for people who do proper jobs and have families to support and homes to maintain… It is, however, fuck all to some spoilt tart who has millions in the bank and makes more in a week than some will earn in a lifetime. I wouldn’t mind if she was anything special musically. I know The Beatles Apple and the Jobs Apple have had some run-ins, but Taylor fucking Swift?!
Of course Apple have kissed Swift’s bony little arse, when they should have told her to fuck off… Taylor Swift is a talentess, tightarsed, titless, mercenary cunt…. Dire Straits weren’t wrong when they sang of money for nothing…

Good Cunting. Though I would give her a seeing to on the way out.

Actually Norman she’s might be a greedy little cunt, but I think she might have a point on this occasion.
It’s OK for Apple to give away music for free but it should be at their expense not the person who recorded it. It’s a bit like Sainsbury giving groceries away and then refusing to pay the growers and suppliers, isn’t it?

That’s a normal business day for Sainsbury’s though. Come to think of it, it’s a normal business day for Asda, Tesco, Morrisons………

I see your ponit, Dio… But Swift wouldn’t even miss three years of royalties, never mind three piddling months… Also, if the silly tart maintained a high standard and released quality music that would back up her posturing… As it is, she puts out tuneless crap that only ten year olds would like…
I bet Swift (and Madonna, Metallica, Lily Allen and other ‘stealing from the artist’ cunts) have all taped off the radio, or copied a cassette or a CD at some time in theiir lives… The difference between that and iTunes being none…. Taylor Swift will also very probably re-release her new ablum in six months time… It will have two ‘new’ (ie: rejected) tracks on it and be labled a ‘special edition..’ Every cunt does that now, yet thery’re the first to squeal about artisitc integrity…

And how about that bollocks the other day about them making it illegal to copy music you’ve paid for onto an iPod or memory stick so you can play it when you’re out and about?
Direct opposite of the ruling years back when they said it was OK to make a cassette tape for personal use. what a load of bollocks!
I’m beginning to wonder why any cunt ever buys music or videos when you can get them for nothing. iTunes, Spotify or any streaming service you have to pay for has to be on a hiding for nothing when you can use Pirate Bay. No wonder the greedy bastards keep trying to shut it down.
If they just charged reasonable fees for the stuff then people would be more inclined to pay. After all it costs bugger to distribute music these days if you just want MP3s

Taylor Swift: “Oh poor me I can only afford 3 mansions ,and 1 private jet” do you hear the suffering in her voice norm she needs more money fuck the recession this cunt needs more cash. I agree with you norman. taylor swift is a cunt not only is she a talentless cunt who 90 percent of the time writes about songs of her breaking up with her boyfriend for shite reasons . but her music is made for retards in mind it’s wallpaper music set to the tune of feel good propaganda. Also she isn’t struggling in the least she’s worth 261 million I don’t feel sorry for this talentless spoiled brat in fact I just downloaded a shitty album in spite of that cunt tried to listen to 5 minutes of it then deleted it. I could name a thousand artists who are struggling more then her and they aren’t even complaining in the slightest.

Swift’s quote about ‘Not getting paid for three months is a long time’ got on my knackers…. Like she has the groceries, electric, gas, and council tax etc to deal with… She can get to fuck…
Check the link below out…. The skinny little vulture is an even bigger cunt than I first thought:

Personally I think all of the political class need a mass cunting, far too many of these cunts about

The Daily Mirror needs a massive, indeed APOCALYPTIC cunting, for reasons that I have yet to finish making a list of. So much material to work through going back years. “madeuthink” indeed, made me think WHAT A BUNCH OF CUNTS!!
