Iain Duncan Smith @ Conservative Conference 2003

[paddyford92]

A good bloke, but hopelessly out of his depth

[computer00fulify]

Oh dear

[gaskin86]

By the way, this was 2002-I know because I was there.

[0107526m]

@gaskin86 Wrong - it was 2003.

[tmob17]

this never fails to put a smile on my face

[buckley54]

he looks as if he's pissed as well!!!

[iBeep2009]

What a cunt! Look up 'BetsyGate' -he fiddled his expenses BUT the con party ordered only an internal inquiry which - natches - exonerated him. A cunt. A career catholic cunt.

[TheKenfig]

@iBeep2009 Yeah, what a cunt AND lied on his CV about his qualifications and where he studied. Married Betsy, a fuckin' millionaire to make himself rich and then dress up in her clothes behind closed doors for kinky fun !. ALSO, this is the EXACT same speech as he made at conference today

[sweetypie000]

Only a christian would be so welcoming finanically to immigrants with the British taxpayers money than someone who has a lavish, oppulent and higly paid job.

[lympia3]

yes it makes you laugh.

[scumblejack]

God, he has no presence at all.

[BUTTONTANG]

rapturous applause from the performing seal conference

[mellowNdark]

What an embarrassment he was

[r1verqueen]

* Turns up volume on YouTube to max *

* Still can't hear what IDS is saying *

[lukespencer91]

Thank god he never became Leader, or PM!

[clifran]

IDS as he is known sounds like an embarrassing medicall condition, so as a result the applause he received always sounded like the result of sympathy (he did really well for a man with chronic IDS). To think he is still at the forefront of the Tory party makes me think we should perhaps save the sympathy for ourselves.

[Nosmos]

How anyone can watch this and not piss themselves laughing is beyond me! Better than the best comedy!

[tilsmore27]

pathetic really,,,,

[Lab356]

LOL, what a failure of a speech, the Tories were clearly desperate after John Major, successive failures

[21manners]

I must be the only one but I do love this speech. There was something dramatical and theatrical about it. very entertaining.

[RutgerHauerRules]

He's baaaaaaaaaaack!!

As work and pensions secretary, expect benefits to be slashed to 50p a week.

[GoldenLegends]

@RutgerHauerRules quite right too. GET A JOB!!

[RutgerHauerRules]

He's baaaaaaaaaaack!!

As work and pensions secretary, expect benefits to be slashed to 50p a week.

[johncummins25]

hahahaha love it!

[mattd1393]

god that speech was shit

[levingtonboat]

God, what a terrible speech. It also seems like a million years ago. I'm off to see Hague do his crappy baseball cap/log fume catastrophe now...

[huntertristan]

what a twat.

[GoldenLegends]

Sorry! what was that Mr Duncan Smith? I didn't hear !

[jonterranova25]

ahahhahahahaahahahah

[999dogbraeth]

The quiet man is here to stay and EVERYONE is turning OFF the volume!!

[pulrh]

He should've got one of those Spinal Tap ones that goes up to 11.

[trueacne]

well said briggles.

[flanneryged]

"Don't work for Tony Blair,get out of the way for we have work to do"?!?! OMG what

a shitstain this Bald creep really is.Also

those stupid bastards applauding his every stupid silly,idiotic,pathetic Word are

bigger fools than he is HA HA HA.

[bobzilla211]

ahahahahaha worst speech ever

[hague1cameron]

This guy is so much more competent that Brown and not a liar like Blair turned out to be.

[mellowNdark]

HE turned up the volume... WE switched it off altogether!!

[markheim71]

oh jesus i'd forgotten him. hard to believe it really happened. what an oaf

[briggles]

Like all tories, he was a royalist, capitolist, right wing cock sucker!

VOTE LABOUR!!!

[LittleOldLady1]

The worst Tory leader since the war...

[SPAG22]

*cough* *cough*

[moscow182]

lol fag

[ellhow]

Lol he said "turning up the volume" but got quieter as he said it.

[burnsybaby1987]

Very funny, better than the best comedy!!!!

[funkyrimpler]

pure british comedy at its best...the 'ovation', the way he the word 'volume' is the quietest word in the sentence, the choreography...what a fucktard....excellent...best leader they ever had..

[dootch2008]

what utter b*ll*cks,style over substance! A few policies never go amiss. Howabout Bring back the birch for hooligans. Life in jail meaning life ie 99 years. Repeat offenders get extra time in jail. Abolish income tax on overtime pay. Repeal the European Communities Act so we can challenge EU directives line by line. Thats for starters. True Conservatives know their subjects and dont need to talk in platitudes. IDS was genuine. Cameron is Blair II ready to carry on the same old discredited agenda

[TheReliquary]

"Bring back the birch!!!"

Ahh, Memory Lane - years since I heard that one. Maybe it would work - no harm in trying...

Seriously, we ought to bring back National Service. We've become a nation of fat, lazy, useless gits, dependent on the nanny state and unable to defend ourselves.

Future threats require EVERYONE to be mobilised. N.Service would give British youth self discipline & fighting ability. Then nobody'd mess with Britain & many social problems would also be solved.

[theredraven]

I think the army are too overstretched to do NI.

Besides, I work hard at Uni and obey the law. Why should I forced into the army because another part of the population can't be arsed to put the effort in.

[JasonVz]

Watch the last 15 seconds lol

IDS writing his own satire

[SlugThumper]

Nice guy is IDS. The worst thing about this speech is that he really does look like he has practised his speech about 100 times in the mirror.

[corky76]

The passion, the power, I felt so moved by this I ran down the street proclaiming the quiet man's brilliance! If only the lightweight Brown and his opponent Cameron had the same poise and masterful command of the English language.

[rachthegreat2]

strange...many people remember it as one of the most cringe-worthy moment in Tory politics...or maybe you're joking, very hard to tell by text :D

[jbshalom]

I wanted to hide under my seat when I saw this. It makes me sooooooo sick!

[peacefrog1916]

IDS is a pathetic little cretin. truley cringeworthy

[GeeGee3374]

As a tory, i respect Iain Duncan Smith when the Parliamentry party turned on him. His dunkirk spirit of no white flag and no surrender got to respect that regardless of your political views.

[Durbot999]

Even though the slimy bald shit was actively involved in clandestine rebellion during the Major years - actively encouraging new impressionable Tory MP's to vote against the government on European policy bills, and in public grinning like a polished dog turd and licking Major's arse - little 2 faced shit - god help us in the alternative universe where this pillock is PM.

[Regalseven]

Excellent performance!Rarely seen nowadays since the era of Thatcher "Get on board or get out of the way".He means business. A determination to drag the Tory party out of the wilderness of opposition. A real master of oratory. Is delivery sent shivers down my spine and must have also struck the fear of God into then Primeminister Tony Blair. "the quiet man is here to stay and he's turning up the volume" that line had enough punch to deliver a heavy blow to the hated Blair and his regime.

[scotty686]

lol. hes turning it all the way up to ELEVEN

[LiveMusicShow]

Profound wisdom , impeccable logic , heartfelt oratory ,second to none !

[CyDeBergerac]

wow, what an impassioned speech from the heart. this speech is up there with Martin Luther Kings and Winston Churchill's finest declarations. IDS you're the best!!!

[rc2869]

Genius selection by Tories - even worse than Michael Foot as a leader. At least with Foot and Hague they were allowed to take a hammering from the incumbent Prime Minister

If this bloke had lead the Tories into 2005 election then Liberal Democrats would be the main oppostion party.

The speech is a joke. 19 Standing ovations.

[Durbot999]

Wish they kept him as leader for longer. Laughed my arse off watching him make a constant prick of himself. "quiet man turning up the volume" - useless bald twat

[MINDERS91]

"the quiet man is here to stay and he's turning up the volume" - three weeks later his party turned him off. What a loser.

[Ukbattlefront2604]

What were the Tory party thinking they elected this loser?

[timrollpickering]

They were thinking he was the least worst candidate available. Liberal Conservative Jo-Anne Nadler wrote an interesting piece in her book about why she backed IDS.

[TobiasCunningham]

lmao, turning up the volume...to about 6.

HIGNFY

[Kallytom]

He never stood a chance!!

[Liammoulton85]

LOSER

[Darkmind1970]

I can't belive he's my local MP. What an inarticulate tosser.

[5starsnitskymatch]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[zaeemrazauk]

L O S E R

[johnvattic1234]

that was so camp

so camp...

[SlugThumper]

Quiet embarassing to watch. Smith wanted to seem Churchillian but ended up looking like Mr Bean.

[josebish]

hahahahahahah oh dear, oh dear

[jimmyjumbo2006]

rofl, Smith almost looks like he frightened himself, what a plonker

thanks for posting
