which tamsin thread? this one, where you posted 8 times, and i posted once, or this one where you posted 76 times and i posted 9?

 

[The39thStep]

really?

sure there's plenty more, but that was the first that sprung to mind.

also, go fuck yourself.

are you posting with a hard on?

 

[killer b]

(all 9 of which were spent arguing with you btw)

The difference being that nearly all my posts have been questioning the relevance of these characters, whereas all yours display evidence of posting with a hard-on.

And do you really have all this past thread stuff immediately to hand? You sad bastard.

 

[killer b]

you could have checked using the search facility before posting bullshit yourself - why not do it now?

The difference being that I'm not bothered who posted what and when; you evidently are.

 

[killer b]

sure you are. otherwise you wouldn't be here, whining.

I'm just commenting in this thread; you're the one running about looking for what people posted ages ago.

 

[killer b]

just checking the accuracy of your insults. turned out you were wrong.

Well done for your dogged commitment to exposing this terrible injustice.

 

[killer b]

thanks.

Sorry but that's funny.

 

[rekil]

Hertz has an amazing ability to irritate people too...

There is that, but the look on poor laurie's face when Hertz was talking was funny.

Anyone got a link to the show?

 

[killer b]

4od should have it. they have a youtube channel too...

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Oh yeah, here's the video, she's on from 10 mins in...

 

[Kid_Eternity]

What the hell is the deal with the way Hertz is dressed? It's like she's just stepped out of the silver screen age!

 

[killer b]

dunno... she laid out that cunt off the times though.

tbf to laurie, she's improving - last time i saw her on telly she was shocking.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I dunno Hertz' seriously patronising tone gets in the way of her message too often, she's far more annoying that Penny could ever be. She seems to think she's some type of celebrity...hasn't changed a bit when she was attending May Day actions ten years ago so she could waffle on tv about what the people involved were trying to achieve.

 

[butchersapron]

Pennie hasn't at least helped kill thousands of people, unlike NH.

Helped to wreck Russia? Or something else.

 

[butchersapron]

That's it, advisor on introducing the most savage form of neo-liberalism leading to massively high death rates and drop in the total population of about 1 million per year for about a decade. Hey, but she's nice now - one of us.

 

[Idris2002]

Hey, but she's nice now - one of us.

Or so she would have us believe, playing Donovan to Naomi Klein's Dylan. Jeffrey Sachs is another one on that 'Most Wanted' List.

 

[rekil]

Probably voted Lib Dem. Now she's sorry about that too, hence her Milibandy line on cuts.

 

[butchersapron]

She did vote lib-dem, was one of their most prominent public backers - here's some more:

Richard Reeves, John Kampfner, Professor Noreena Hertz, Susie Orbach, Shazia Mirza, Camilla Toulmin, Brian Eno, John le Carré, Henry Porter, Alex Layton, Gordon Roddick, Yasmin Alibhai Brown, Philip Pullman, David Aukin, Nick Harkaway, Lisa Appignanesi, Francis Wheen, Alan Ryan, Raymond Tallis, Julian Baggini, Jeanette Winterson, Rodric Braithwaite, Richard Dawkins, George Monbiot, Ken Macdonald, Philippe Sands, Misha Glenny, Anthony Barnett, Richard Sennett, David Marquand, Colin Firth

The last named being wheeled out as one of the faces of the Yes to AV campaign today.

 

[rekil]

Just found that article butchers. You can smell these fuckers. Didn't know she was prominent at all though.

 

[JHE]

Have just heard Ms Penny on Any Questions, promoting AV.

She's made a remarkable success of promoting herself. I hope she has less success promoting AV.

One of the things I find a bit irritating about her is the way she seems to consider herself a spokesperson for the young.

 

[frogwoman]

A bit?

Who is Hertz? Any connection to the car hire place?
