See this pisses me off about all this stuff. The Compass report this is based on shrugs off housing benefit, not including it in their calculations and saying its complicated and will probably have to remain a means tested benefit. That fucks up all their calculations, means the re-detributive...

Someone said it, certainly looks like it was you. But you say you didn't say it. meh

Since I also said that I was no fan of Compass or Labour, then that would mean I was accusing myself of being paranoid and dragging politics into the mire. So, once again you've got that wrong. That's amusing since you've just told me what I'm thinking. And got it wrong. Again. The reason I...

Here's the kind of paranoia that is dragging Scottish political discourse into the mire: So, Chris Darroch presumably thinks that Angela Haggerty, a journalist, should not report that kind of thing. That Common Space should not carry such open letters. What should they do then? Carry...

Maybe so. But it also needs to be taken on board a) what and who it is you are working in solidarity with, b) how this is perceived by the general public, and c) consider whether increasing the opportunities for the populist and far-right, as a result of taking to the barricades in direct...

your (collective) line on refugees / immigration is thought provoking + hard to fully refute ( imo - it's helped change my perspective at any rate ) . But the idea that rejecting the open borders approach to refugees would be the first issue that a new anti fash grouping would address just...

"Bless me Tommy, For I have sinned..." STATEMENT BY GARETH NORMAN I am responding to recent information concerning my past involvement with reactionary right-wing groups like the BNP. I admit previous involvement with this sad group and I sincerely regret my involvement. I severed all links...

Women’s Aid had been set up in 1974 to provide a refuge for women experiencing domestic violence. It campaigned for the release from prison of Noreen Winchester, jailed in 1976 at the age of 19 for the manslaughter of her father, Norman. She had stabbed him and then, with the help of some of her...

Yes, very moving, brilliantly written, if I'd read it as a teenager I might have finally woken up to why my mates cared about such things a little earlier. I loved this line: “because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass...

from the radio interview - so are you becoming more of a socialist ? - No. Ive been a socialist & I found that unsatisfactory but I think socialism doesn't have a monopoly on compassion or concern for the poor but the problem is that the belief among many political conservatives that social...

He does do something about it. He analyses remarks and categorises them according to his own socio-political compass.

Cruz is truly frightening. David Brooks, conservative NY Times writer on Cruz.... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/opinion/the-brutalism-of-ted-cruz.html

The 40 years of sleeper activity by the Lambeth Wagner Appreciation Circle to infiltrate all the major political parties of the Borough is far more insidious than any Maoist, CPGB, Militant, Compass, Progress, Momentum or Liberal Democrat Friends of Cake networks that have been exposed.

It's interesting how her femaleness is inevitably a big part of this story, whatever way you look at it. But that's true with women killers too, always much more exciting, partly just because statistically so much rarer but also all that stuff about us being gentle and nurturing types etc.

There is a lot of vile salivating on this thread. My god - young mother fucks up. runs away from home in romantic huff about a purer way of life. Has she actually, personally assaulted anyone - not to my knowledge...in fact, despite all the waffle about agency, she appears to be a victim of...

I'm really glad I found that article . I hope there are more like her willing to speak out about ALL of this stuff .

"Yep. It gets a bit lonely here sometimes, out on the windy ledge with CR as my apparent comrade in arms" Don't get too near the edge;) Some of us on here can believe what CRs saying,but it's at such odds with his perambulations on other issues that make it dificult for to people take him...

Exactly. Yep. It gets a bit lonely here sometimes, out on the windy ledge with CR as my apparent comrade in arms. The article he posted today though is the best thing I've read to date on the whole sorry mess of well-meaning people's response to the events . It's actually got logic in it...

#not all leftists This post is toxic and full of generalisations based on anecdotal accounts, but I will bite (spaghetti monster give me strength) Ok I must ask do we have any opinion polls taken from left wing people that states they are ok with rape as long as it is minorities doing it...

It'll be the absolute fucking end of them . This stuff . They should have a look at the catholic church in Ireland if they want to see the fate that awaits them for engaging in pretty much institutional denial on this issue . Like its not just casual denial . It's blanket . The left are to one...
