"Serious people for serious times" - Sion Simon promoted! D'oh!

Sion "Take My Kids And Bang My Wife" Simon, the thick, ignorant muppet who dragged the party through the mud for a week in 2006 by starring in a pathetic YouTube video lampooning Cameron has been promoted to be a minister.

Just to remind what a cretin this man is:

This gormless clown did wonders for Cameron's personal stature and did great things to try toaffirm him as a serious politician and Labour as a tawdry crowd of losers with piss-poor judgement and presentational skills.

Here is the obnoxious misanthrope shouting at Anna Boeting on Sky in defence of his "funny satire":

"Right, be quiet then while I speak". Arggh. Yuck.

Here he is again shaming the PLP:

He should have been quietly deselected. His only other contribution to politics in the UK was to be one of the geniuses who lobbied for Blair to name a date.

More chaos than ever at number 10 it seems. That Tom Harris can be sent packing while this buffoon is promoted and rewarded for his desperate loyalty to GB while running the party down is very telling.

Update [2008-10-5 5:47:26 by ACLB]: I forgot, there was another famous moment in his parliamentary career. He penned this unintentionally humorous blog for the New Statesman a year ago:




'Shortly there will be an election, in which Labour will increase its majority'


Read the whole purple thing. Is contains the ramblings of a pretentious lickspittle toady creep.


The only excuse for this is that English was not his first language, though he did go to Grammar School and Oxford, very odd.

Re: "Serious people for serious times" (#2)

A promotion for this idiot??? He should have been left dangling in the wind 2 years ago after his shameful youtube vid. So this is the political masterplan to transform the Labour party into the truly Nasty party. We do all we can to get rid of the decent principaled ministers - Des Brown, Tom Harris, David Cairns et all and bring monsters such as Mandy and Sion Simon, backed by nasty Nick Brown???? We are going down the tubes even faster than I thought.

I couldn't have put it better yself.

Sion Simon promoted! D'oh! (#4)

Guido, no link, is having a field day too witht this.

Re: "Serious people for serious times" (#5)

Oh god this man is shocking. How on earth did a numbskull like this get selected to be an MP?

It's telling that Brown thinks he has more to gain from surrounding himself with supportive junior ministers than he has to loose by promoting a total tosser like Sion Simon.

  • It is either a
  • Lord Archer- Thatcher patronage  moment
  • Courageous and inspired time will tell bombshell
  • To combat vermin like Fido and Torythink  Tanker
  • --  A new Prezza for a new age is needed? Time will tell!!

Re: "Serious people for serious times" (#7)

There you go, what a talent(less)ed bunch we now have in government, Mandy who has twice been chucked out for dishonesty, a complete tosser who posts pictures of himself on the internet in his pants and now this wanker, bet the tories are running scared now
