That nana Sion Simon kept "counselling" people not to "talk down" the economy. It's the new way of countering (or suppressing) criticism. If you stand up and welcome spending on apprentices and call for more spending – he accuses you of "talking the economy down". Labour's David Taylor was rebuked for saying that management of large projects wasn't the most glittering success of the public service....
It was like May's by-election all over again at South Cheshire College this week. Sion Simon, the new Minister for Further Education ( right ), visited the high-flying college to meet Principal Dr David Collins, staff and students. Then on Thursday local MP Edward Timpson ( above ) also dropped in to chat with students. It's all part of Colleges Week that celebrates the role colleges play in unlocking...
The "Biggest Twat" contest is now closed, and the victor with more than 50% of the vote is Sion Simon who beat his fellow minister Quentin Davies into the number two slot, so to speak.
The Erdington Typo has earned his reward for his loyalty to Gordie, and his disloyalty to Bliar, and has entered Government as Minister for Skills. Not all skills, just those in the Universities. Perhaps he will be offering advice on how to maximise the capacity for consuming Frosty Jack and White Lightning in the Student Union, and if you saw his speech about the never ending march of Labour footsoldiers...
Gordon Brown promotes Sion Simon Via Mr. Eugenides and Obnoxio the Clown Is this the sort of “masterstroke” that Gordon Brown expects us to buy and comprehend when he rebuilds his Labour government, now just be quiet and let me finish, this prat Sion Simon is now the “Minister for Skills”. I’ve just returned from the Margaret [...]
Every school year-group had a Sion Simon. An arrogant devious bully; seemingly devoid of scruple, used to getting his own way and the kind of worm who would wheedle and creep when expedient, feigning sincerity before knifing his quarry in the back, all the time making the lives of weaker kids a misery and pulling the wings off ladybirds. Well, now he's nulabor MP for Erdington , Birmingham [Majority:...
Alongside a post about Sion Simon I casually added a poll asking whether readers thought that the promotion was wise. Here is the post: http://www.labourhome.org/story/2008/10/4/205853/180 Here is the poll: http://www.labourhome.org/poll/1223168266_UXTQKKzH I have never had such a response to a poll, especially on a post which got so little comment. Any thought as to why people would react so strongly...
Can't be bothered commenting on the last batch of mediocrities to be appointed to junior positions - ie Sion Simon, Chris Bryant. Tonight going into Manchester for a feedback meeting on the Convention Of The Left. Not navel-gazing but I hope a constructive discussion of where we go next. I'm about to write a short report for Labour Briefing about it and will post a copy up here soon.
You just have to read this piece at Labourhome about the elevation of the loud-mouthed dimbo Sion Simon the Labour MP for Birmingham Erdington . He is promoted to become MP for Skills! His only skill is looking like he's failed an audition as an extra on Little Britain. Even if, and it's a huge if, some may think Mandelson is part of a Labour revival plan then Simon completely shatters that illusion....
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: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xgM1TK_msVs This gormless clown did wonders for Cameron's personal stature and did great things to try toaffirm...
OK, so this is what the Twilight Zone is like: Mandelsnake back in the cabinet. The great caravanner back in the cabinet. Sion Simon in the cabinet. That's all pretty bad, right? But the final nail in the wooden cabinet of the living dead ? This is beyond fucked, into a territory I can't begin to describe ...
Via Obnoxio , the frankly staggering news that Siôn Simon, the biggest twat in the observable universe - a man so ludicrously unqualified for high office that he makes Tony McNulty look like a eight-time Nobel Laureate - has been appointed as a minister in Brown's reshuffle. I mean, watch this: These are the people that govern us? That make the rules by which the rest of us have to live? I wouldn't...
Sion Simon has been appointed Skills Minister. His skills with video satire and political forecasting were obviously the decisive factors. Minister for Mad Hatters would have been more appropriate.
It was a year ago today that Sion published this article in the New Statesman . We Cannot Be Killed 'Shortly there will be an election, in which Labour will increase its majority' As Tories confidently prepare for their conference they should read the article and remember Sion Simon...
