purging dissenters without any sort of grounds sounds an awful lot like... democratic centralism, a core tenet of leninist organising Anyway I won't be engaging with this dickhead on here, but idea liberals have that they listen to & speak for ordinary people while left pursues niche or alien issues which alienate - yet those cunts wanted to ignore outcome when UK public given agency for first time in decades

for this to have any truth to it, you have to believe that the labour party bureaucracy and PLP, the middle manager CLP types etc believed in the politics of corbynism and the left just not the figurehead - otherwise we'd see the same open revolt under starmer wouldn't we blows my mind he's considered a political thinker, struggles not to contradict himself by the end of a sentence. no robustness or integrity to the ideas.

I see the whack a mole strategy is doing well Alternating monthly between govt calling you a cunt unless you eat out every night before doing shots and licking a strangers face and closing all the pubs and restaurants is it

honestly think boris johnson is going to die soon, his body is fucked, its closing down every morning his creaky wrecked carriage is slapped and cajoled into life by aides and wheeled out to perform the bare minimum required before he can go home and lie in bed and eat goose legs. his days are numbered.

Blows my mind that here you have an established mainstream journalist quote tweeting another established mainstream journalist, both v sincerely throwing around boom burning and nazi analogies, over a throwaway comment from Jedward, last seen on Celebrity Coach Trip Is it that there are just too many journalists, is the absolute shit they subject us to just a byproduct of their volume

This is interesting Apart from how many of them are landlords and how many of the SE Wales lot get free parking from NCP at Cardiff Central, the standout one is this for Alan Cairns (tory - former welsh secretary) Image

pls everybody stop continuing to indulge him "the cultural divide won't be overcome by appeals to common economic interest because exploitation is now multipolar" - this sounds like a rejection of class politics to me

Limited liability companies (Ltd, LLP etc) shouldn't exist. Massive scam imo. Just a way of passing risk on to state/public isn't it. Unpaid taxes, no that's fine you keep your house and your massive pensions mate

I think something that gets lost in the never ending debate about which way labour should have gone on the EU is just how fucking shit the european union actually is, it is a bag of wank It is pretty much the end game of the neoliberal, antidemocratic, technocratic large state that modern capital favours. Tactics aside, it's completely contradictory to support the EU in & of itself if your aim is working class power. Fuck it off, move on, work on something better

Watching a telly show called 'call the cops' on channel four, menu says its new but it has exactly the same format as about a dozen other channel four shows - quite high production values, show control room and call handlers, lots of face to camera interviews. Dozen might be an exaggeration but there are lots. Usually lots of talk of austerity but specifically in the context of policing. This is without even getting onto the channel five type shows, police interceptors and that.

I know it's fashionable to "dunk" on journalists but I tell you what I would fucking love the confidence and self belief of a privately educated two bit hack My life would be so much better, it really would. Imagine being oblivious to your own lack of talent or insight. Great.

Shame there isn't some sort of mechanism or function in liberal democracies that could have shone a light on such matters at the time, like for instance a free and independent press willing to hold power to account. Oh well never mind. tbf it is a problem when nobody wants to piss off a potential employer
