Labour. No matter whose money it is, they’ll waste it…
Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by RK in Other, United Kingdom
A little birdie tweeted in my ear earlier on that Kerry McCarthy MP has been trying to raise some money to counter the #kerryout campaign. The Twitter-led movement has raised over £1300 over a few weeks for Kerry’s opponent at the next General Election, the Conservative candidate Adeela Shafi.
Taking a quick look at the MyConservatives page for Adeela and the MembersNet page for Kerry, one can’t help but notice not just the complete lack of funding that Kerry is receiving, but also the rounded-up, vague and expensive prices that she’s put on her campaign tools.
- While £8.50 delivers to FOUR streets for the Tories, it’ll take £50 for Labour to make phone calls to ONE street. Interesting.
- £100 helps Labour write letters to 250 voters, while £175 helps the Conservatives survey (including return postage) 500. Economies of scale, something Labour’s economists never heard of. Engaging the electorate, something Kerry McCarthy has never dreamt of.
- Lastly, Adeela lists £47 to pay for 15,000 online adverts, whilst Labour don’t even have mention of this. I guess they see the Internet as useless and not worth utilising. (Ed: That or they give the party’s chaff a title like, “Twitter Tsar” or “The Facebook Madame” and have them make tits of themselves all day.)
#kerryout

I know, I know – we should have thrown our hats into the ring much sooner on this one! Apologies all, but today KeepRightOnline joins the #kerryout campaign. If you recall, we started the #sackkerrymp hashtag back in September 2009 and implore anyone and everyone who hasn’t donated yet to do so. Go on, gissa few bob.
It’s game time!

‘Game time’ it certainly was, as we discussed the differences between the Labour and Tory blogospheres, where the battles can be won, and where the battles are clearly being lost (Ed: I wonder if Kerry McCarthy came up?)
The biggest and best were present, vocal and in good spirits. Let’s carry the vigour into the new year and show the lost left why they just don’t get social media.
Good one, Sunny.

Banter 2.0 on a Sunday night tonight, when this editor and Sunny Hundal of Picked Politics fame had a Twitter based exchange of ideas of the whole Iain-Dale-Kerry-McCarthy-Nadine-Dorries-Bevanite-Ellie-Twitter-Blocking-Gate scandal. (Ed: Too long, it’s gotta be catchy, like… Sex Photo Gate or Waterkant-gate).
Where Sunny last tweeted left us both amused and bemused!
The question is… When have you ever met a parrot that does read, Mr. Hundal?
I lolled.
Monkeying around

It seems that the Recess Monkey is back with a bang, with scurrilous accusations about an MP being involved sexxxxxxually with a local DJ.
Maybe not something befitting a man that wants to be the next Labour MP for Chelsea and Fulham (Ed: Ha!). Then again, maybe it is.
Alex Hilton for Blog Czar?
Hahahahahahaha…. (Prezza)

It seems KeepRightOnline scare the crap out of @johnprescott! Same applies by the way, for @bevaniteellie, @kerrymp and various other lefties who simply refuse to take us on due to various epic losses on their part.
Remember folks, who’s afraid of the big bad KRO?
Tweet4Victory: A 'KeepRight' Insight
Posted on 27. Sep, 2009 by keeprightonline in United Kingdom
On Saturday 28th September, John Prescott hosted the cringe inducing “Tweet4Victory” rally at the Charles Street Bar, Brighton- one day before Labour Party conference got into full swing. KeepRightOnline were there.
Having had our fair share of experience in goading and being goaded by the likes of @KerryMP and @BevaniteEllie, KRO were intent on being in attendance, not for any malicious purposes, but more out of intrigue. The questions have long been on everyones lips, “What have the Labour Party got left?” and “Who could still support this dilapidated government and political party?”
The answers have been long debated, and the evidence is mounting. While @JohnPrescott claims to have raised £20,000 in a matter of hours by plugging his autobiographical diatribe, “Prezza,” you get a feeling that this minute success isn’t the eventuality of his clout or Labour’s record in government. Rather, it seems that of the type of intrigue one feels when passing an accident on the motorway. This cultural rubber-necking is precisely what drove us to walk straight up the stairs of the Charles St bar and into the belly of the would-be beast.

Stop complaining, start campaigning!
The much repeated war cry of Prescott and GoFourth
Taking initial shots at the Taxpayer’s Alliance and Iain Dale, John swiftly moved onto showing a terribly amateur video (it still had the Apple logo in the corner) of his and colleagues achievements over the past 12 years. It’s safe to say the movie was short. What was painfully clear was the palpable disdain that Prescott feels toward former Cabinet comrade Charles Clarke. Mentioned no less than 20 times over the course of Prezza’s near hour-long rant, there’s a clear and embarrasing rift in the Labour Party.
Challenging the Conservative Party’s stance on global economics and the minimum wage, the audience cheered, albeit in lacklustre fashion when John urged activists to back Gordon Brown, the “internationally revered statesman.”. Daniel Hannan was mentioned only in passing, which was surprising given how much time GoFourth dedicate to the man.
Nonetheless, whatever you think of him- the man is full of vigour. John Prescott has the energy of a man half his age and half his size. As the room dispersed to the repeated phrase, “Stop complaining and start campaigning!” it was obvious that this was more an event to attempt to tenuously glue together the rifts in the party. Unfortunately, not enough people were in attendance for this to be worth anyone’s time.
KeepRightOnline schmooze the Big Man
We convinced the crew for a few moments that we’d never heard of KRO, which they seemed to buy after checking out our GoFourth stickers. Nonetheless, we soon gave our identity away for the sake of a commercial discussion, and we were swiftly shunned.
1996 this definitely was not. This excellent night was topped off only by the panic expressed in some Game Changer employees as they realised what had gone down. Once again, we hope our leftist comrades appreciate our intrigue, and we were pleased to bring the blogosphere an insight into Labour party activism proper.
* Incidently, Alex acknowledges he has little to no chance in the safe Tory seat, but argued well about the Baltimore-gate pseudo-scandal. Apparently, some party elders tried to tame this mischievous character, but he was having none of it. “Because you’re a PPC, you can’t have a sense of humour? I don’t think so.”
Video tomorrow.

Good morning all,
Today I’d like to introduce you and ask that your forward the link on to the latest KeepRightOnline project. We have been working on this for just under a month now, and the costs are being incurred directly by this editor at the moment. (So any donations, you could make would be GREATLY appreciated! 50p.. £1… £5… whatever).
www.nofourth.co.uk was the brainchild of this editor and a colleague (who wishes not to be named) and will serve as the direct rebuttle to @JohnPrescott and the Labour Party funded www.gofourth.co.uk.
So what is it?
Precisely what I said! They lie. We debunk it. They post a video about how John Prescott is a lean, green, enviro-machine… we wet our pants laughing. (And then debunk it.)
Why now?
With conference season underway (didn’t you see UKIPs?) and less than a year until a General Election must be called, these final moments will be the time when the Labour Party throws as much smut and lies around as it can. We won’t let the public be misled, as some have been for the past 12 years. People are starting to realise that Labour lies, fullstop- and that’s the message we want to drive home.
What can I do to get involved?
We’re always on the look out for guest bloggers, contributors, graphics/video people, web gurus and what’s key at the moment (I won’t make any bones about it)… donations!
So NoFourth.co.uk – it’ll be fully operational very shortly, and it’ll be an awesome way to ensure that Labour comes away from the General Election as it deserves. This is NOT a Conservative Party project. It is not funded or endorsed by any party. It’s just for those who realise what Labour have done to our liberties, our lives and our country.
The Future of the Labour Party.

Can they do no better?
