Behold the arbiter of good journalistic practice
It also showed the bad faith nature of the Fawkes rabble: others did the making up and other invention, never themselves. Staines’ roster of personnel may have changed over the years, but that nasty undercurrent still holds sway. So it was when sitting MP Tony Lloyd died and a by-election was called - bringing one political career momentarily back from the dead.
Who that? Step forward disgraced former Labour and independent MP Simon “Spanker” Danczuk, whose one accurate observation on his own career was “There’s no fool like an old fool” after the Murdoch Sun splashed a front page on another of his momentary liaisons with a much younger woman. Spanker was to stand for his old seat. For the Reform UK Party.
The latest incarnation of the Brexit Party, domain of Oberscheissenführer Nigel “Thirsty” Farage, is now headed by out-of-touch property magnate Richard Tice (he’s not very nice). Polling in national opinion polls at around 10%, there were high hopes that Danczuk could reclaim his old seat. The party duly got a favourable press release recycling from the Fawkes mob.
“With Labour imploding in Rochdale William Hill now says they are no longer the favourites … Reform UK and their candidate Simon Danczuk’s campaign is now concentrating on stopping Galloway. Their simple message to those with Labourite views is that Labour is too distracted with Middle-Eastern politics to be focussed on the important issues. Reform spokesman Gawain Towler tells Guido: ‘If you care about Rochdale not Gaza the only person left in this fight is Simon’” told The Great Guido. But this was total crap.
Exhumed political career isn't. Good thing too
Galloway, wearing a hat, but not because he’s over-sensitive about his continuing encounter with male pattern baldness, you understand, memorably told “Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak are two cheeks of the same backside and they both got well and truly spanked tonight here in Rochdale”. The actual Spanker came 6th. His vote share was 1.9% down on the Brexit Party’s 2019 showing. And well short of that 10% Reform UK national poll rating.
So The Great Guido faithfully reported the excuses. “Reform UK came 6th last night, after Tice told party representatives to leave the election count for their own safety as a mob gathers outside … Tice pointed fingers at a ‘sudden increase also in the size of the postal vote’”. Yeah, right.
If Reform UK were so popular, why the warning to leave the count? And why blame the postal vote, which carried the 2016 referendum over the line for Leave? But no acknowledgement that the Fawkes rabble once again got it wrong, despite their sneering dismissal of actual journalism.
As in their telling, apropos Dan Wootton and his instructing lawyers to go after a variety of people, “The next question is whether or not Byline Times will [settle]. The six or seven figure bill might encourage them to. If they choose to double down, it’ll spell the end of the outlet. And an end to its particularly paranoid form of conspiracy theorising masquerading as gutter journalism”. After their Rochdale conspiracy theory about how popular Reform UK was.
What say Frankie Leach? After being on the wrong end of “conspiracy theorising masquerading as gutter journalism”? Away with you, Guido.

Starmer just shrugged and kept on working on his next articles for the Rothermere Heil and Der Telegraaf.
Tremendous fun* watching all the corporate media shithouses try to squirm their way out of this one with the Sunak/Starmer gang.
Example, in the immediate aftermath one bespectacled Beeb weasel said Galloway "spat venom" (later, of course, edited out), while the Starmer Quisling was only "outraged". Other weasels followed a similar usual commissar-dictated far right line. The Sky gobshite looked like he was about to burst into tears, possibly because Galloway flattened him verbally and maybe ensured said gobshite won't get the glove puppet gig again.
Meanwhile, far right Sunak basically accused the Rochdale electorate of "extremism".....while the Zionist-without-qualification Starmer Quisling wore his warty face like a smacked arse. In summary a pair of urfascists condoning genocide. Disgusting people.
*Of course it's not "fun" at all. It's the tragedy of a nation in almost freefall led by a political-media class of insensate beasts interested in nothing but their own financial gain and pathetic "careers". The real extremists are those who visit wars and mass murder on innocents in the East and inflict mass poverty at home.
Our LP branch encourages supporters to get a postal vote as we believe they are more likely to vote. Plus there is no possibility of turning up at the polling station without acceptable I.D.
