Having consulted with various minions, acquaintances and rabble-rousers, if you are attending the Pro-Referendum Rally on Saturday, your humble Devil will be in St Stephen's Tavern [GMap but really, it's right next to Westminster Tube] from 11am.

Obviously, anyone who fancies a pint then (and probably after the whole shebang too) is welcome to join. Apart from assassins. And Neil cunting Kinnock.

John Trenchard said...: sounds good.
EU Ref forum here has a list of MPs attending.

Looks like my Flickr account is going to be hammered.; 10/25/2007 07:31:00 PM
assegai mike said...: I may well do that. What time'll you be there till? I could get there post-golf by 12:30 with a following wind.

Cheers

Wrinkled Weasel said...: Sadly I cannot be there, though I go with the general sentiment of the day.

Here's a tenner, have something with a little umbrealla in it on me, or if you insist, a pint of Old Scrote's Golden Shower.

Next time you are in Edinburgh eh?; 10/25/2007 08:36:00 PM
Mr Eugenides said...: Two observations:

1. You have minions? How did you manage that? Is it a 1000+ hits-a-day thing? Damn you.

2. Can you give us an estimate of the probability of your staying in the St. Stephen's all day and never making the rally? Please express your answer as a percentage.; 10/25/2007 09:21:00 PM
John Trenchard said...: well, considering that none other than Ian Paisley is going to be there (see the MP list on the Rally) , i think i'll steal myself away from the Tavern to get myself a few snaps. whether you like his politics or not, he is one of those larger than life political characters that you simply can't ignore.

i wonder if he'll do a "No Surrender" speech tailored not for Ulster, but this time, for the entire friggin UK???; 10/25/2007 09:46:00 PM
John Trenchard said...: DK - unfortunately I will have to take away at least one of your lamposts, because - shock horror - Guido has discovered an MP who ISNT on the gravy train.

Read it all here

He is one Philip Hollobone MP ,( Con, Kettering) - expenses cost. £44,551.

By contrast, Liam Byrne(Lab, Birmingham Hodge Hill) is four times as expensive at an eye watering £178,116.; 10/25/2007 10:25:00 PM
John Trenchard said...: this might be of interest to you DK (and other DK readers)

Oink - Not a friggin clue whatsoever

It's about the unbelievably dishonest reporting about the shutdown of the Oink.cd bitorrent site (and the arrest of the 24 year British admin of it); 10/26/2007 12:33:00 AM
Mark Wadsworth said...: Rather irritatingly, I have to go to Wales on Saturday. Which is a bummer because the forty minute Tube journey to Central London sure beats a five hour hack out to Wales. Ah well.; 10/26/2007 12:35:00 AM
Newmania said...: I have stuff to do but I am going to do my best; 10/26/2007 12:46:00 AM
Vindico said...: I'll be there.; 10/26/2007 09:00:00 AM
Sen. Peter Higham Paul said...: I understand Polly and Neil Clark were also attending, hoping to be stood a pint or eight.

How's the slush fund standing up?; 10/26/2007 09:23:00 AM
John Trenchard said...: Murder attempt on 4 SIOE members in Denmark
Iron bars and knives used.
one of the SIOE members was a 74 year old woman.; 10/26/2007 06:45:00 PM
Thomas Gordon said...: DK-

I'm looking forward to the big push fella.

Seeya at 11:00...BTW do we have some placards?; 10/26/2007 08:29:00 PM

What, has St Stephen's lifted it's 'No ginger whingers' door policy?; 10/27/2007 03:56:00 AM
Anonymous said...: I notice that there is also an Anti-Abortion rally today. The Biased BBC has been reporting on this ad nauseam .
Looks like a bit of political spoiling to me-the Govt./authorities obviously allowed them on the same day to dilute attention to the Pro Referendum case .

"The best British political/libertarian blog on the web. Consistently excellent but not for the squeamish."—Christopher Snowdon
"[He] runs the infamous and fantastically sweary Devil’s Kitchen blog, and because he’s one of the naughtiest geeks (second only to the incredibly, incredibly naughty Guido Fawkes) he’s right at the top of the evil dork hierarchy."—Charlotte Gore
"The Devil's Kitchen exposes hypocrisy everywhere, no holds barred."—Wrinkled Weasel
"People can still be controversial and influential whilst retaining integrity—Devil's Kitchen springs to mind—and attract frequent but intelligent comment."—Steve Shark, at B&D
"Sometimes too much, sometimes wrong, sometimes just too much but always worth a read. Not so much a blog as a force of nature."—The Nameless Libertarian
"The Devil's Kitchen—a terrifying blog that covers an astonishing range of subjects with an informed passion and a rage against the machine that leaves me in awe..."—Polaris
"He rants like no one else in the blogosphere. But it's ranting in an eloquent, if sweary, kind of way. Eton taught him a lot."—Iain Dale
"But for all that, he is a brilliant writer—incisive, fisker- extraordinaire and with an over developed sense of humour... And he can back up his sometimes extraordinary views with some good old fashioned intellectual rigour... I'm promoting him on my blogroll to a daily read."—Iain Dale
"... an intelligent guy and a brilliant writer..."—A Very British Dude
"... the glorious Devil's Kitchen blog—it's not for the squeamish or easily offended..."—Samizdata

"Perhaps the best paragraph ever written in the history of human creation. It's our Devil on fine form."—Vindico
"Devil's Kitchen is the big name on the free-market libertarian strand of the British blogosphere... Profane rants are the immediate stand-out feature of DK's blog, but the ranting is backed up by some formidable argument on a wide range of issues particularly relating to British and European parliamentary politics, economics, and civil liberties."—Question That
"... an excellent, intelligent UK political blog which includes a great deal of swearing."—Dr Aubrey Blumsohn
"I like the Devil's Kitchen. I think it's one of the best written and funniest blogs in the business."—Conservative Party Reptile
"The. Top. UK. Blogger."—My Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
"For sheer intelligence, erudition and fun, Iain Dale's Diary, Cranmer and Devil's Kitchen are so far ahead of the rest I don't see how they can figure in a top ten. They are the Beatles, Stones and Who of the blog world; the Astair, Bogart and Marlon Brando of the blog world; the Gerswin, Porter and Novello of the blog world; the Dot Cotton, Pat Butcher, Bette Lynch of the blog world..."—Wrinkled Weasel
"It's the blogging equivalent of someone eating Ostrich Vindaloo, washed down by ten bottles of Jamaican hot pepper sauce and then proceeding to breathe very close to your face while talking about how lovely our politicians are... But there's much more to his writing than four letter words."—Tom Tyler
"God bless the Devil's Kitchen... Colourful as his invective is, I cannot fault his accuracy."—Tom Paine

"The always entertaining Mr Devil's Kitchen..."—The Times's Comment Central
"Frankly, this is ranting of the very highest calibre."—The Nameless Libertarian
"I don't mean it literally, or even metaphorically. I just find that his atheism aside, I agree with everything the Devil (of Kitchen fame...) says. I particularly enjoy his well crafted and sharp swearing, especially when addressed at self righteous lefties..."—The Tin Drummer
"Spot on accurate and delightful in its simplicity, Devil's Kitchen is one of the reasons that we're not ready to write off EUroweenie-land just yet. At least not until we get done evacuating the ones with brains."—Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler
"This hugely entertaining, articulate, witty Scottish commentator is also one of the most foul-mouthed bloggers around. Gird up your loins and have a look. Essential reading."—Doctor Crippen
"The Devil's Kitchen is one of the foremost blogs in the UK. The DK is bawdy, foul-mouthed, tasteless, vulgar, offensive and frequently goes beyond all boundaries of taste and decency. So why on earth does Dr Crippen read the DK? Because he reduces me to a state of quivering, helpless laughter."—Doctor Crippen's Grand Rounds
"DK is a take-no-prisoners sort of libertarian. His blog is renowned for its propensity for foul-mouthed invective, which can be both amusing and tiresome by turns. Nevertheless, he is usually lucid, often scintillating and sometimes illuminating."—Dr Syn
"If you enjoy a superior anti-Left rant, albeit one with a heavy dash of cursing, you could do worse than visit the Devil's Kitchen. The Devil is an astute observer of the evils of NuLabour, that's for sure. I for one stand converted to the Devil and all his works."—Istanbul Tory
"... a sick individual."—Peter Briffa
"This fellow is sharp as a tack, funny as hell, and—when something pisses him off—meaner than a badger with a case of the bullhead clap."—Green Hell

"a powerfully written right-of-center blog..."—Mangan's Miscellany
"I tend to enjoy Devil's Kitchen not only because I disagree with him quite a lot of the time but because I actually have to use my brain to articulate why."—Rhetorically Speaking
"This blog is currently slamming. Politics certainly ain't all my own. But style and prose is tight, fierce, provocative. And funny. OK, I am a child—swear words still crack a laugh."—Qwan
"hedonistic, abrasive but usually good-natured..."—The G-Gnome
"10,000 words per hour blogging output... prolific or obsessive compulsive I have yet to decide..."—Europhobia
"a more favoured blog from the sensible Right..."—Great Britain...
"Devils Kitchen, a right thinking man indeed..."—EU Serf

"The Devil's Kitchen: really very funny political blog."—Ink & Incapability
"I've been laffing fit to burst at the unashamed sweariness of the Devil's Kitchen ~ certainly my favourite place recently."—SoupDragon

"Best. Fisking. Ever. I'm still laughing."—LC Wes, Imperial Mohel
"Art."—Bob
"It made me laugh out loud, and laugh so hard—and I don't even get all the references... I hope his politics don't offend you, but he is very funny."—Furious, WoT Forum
"DK himself is unashamedly right-wing, vitriolic and foul mouthed, liberally scattering his posts with four-letter-words... Not to be read if you're easily offended, but highly entertaining and very much tongue in cheek..."—Everything Is Electric
"This blog is absolutely wasted here and should be on the front page of one of the broadsheets..."—Commenter at The Kitchen
"[This Labour government] is the most mendacious, dishonest, endemically corrupt, power-hungry, incompetent, illiberal fucking shower of shits that has ruled this country..."—DK
