Alex Callinicos/SWP vs Laurie Penny/New Statesman Facebook handbags

[rekil]

It's a testament to her fearlessness and irrepressible journalistic chutzpah that after her staten island rescue attempt was thwarted, she managed to find a way to a new jersey porn convention.

Not a peep out of the figurehead of the London uprisings about the Alfie Meadows trial. Not a peep.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

I really don't know what to say any more.

Desperate scrabbling to be taken seriously by genuine bubblists forgetting her place really

 

[U N Arrator]

I unfollowed her. Couldn't face her tweets anymore, even for "laughs".

Puzzling that anybody 'follows' anybody on Twitter really.

So twitty middle class pseudo-radicals do twitty middle class things? Is this new? And it's all going to come to the same fucking bad end, isn't it?

 

[U N Arrator]

I always pictured LLESTSA as looking like an weary Jon Hurt with a cane. Waving it at people as he denounces the futility of it all.

I never 'denounce the futility if it all.' What's 'it all' for a start? And how would anybody denounce it?

 

[DotCommunist]

but you don't deny a resemblance to jon hurt?

 

[U N Arrator]

but you don't deny a resemblance to jon hurt?

I couldn't be more unlike John Hurt.

 

[Frances Lengel]

More like Butt-Hurt?

Soz.

you see to be doing a good job. the lletsa paradox.

 

[U N Arrator]

Actually, I don't. For a start, nobody seems able to explain what 'it all' even is. Let alone how you denounce it.

[butchersapron]

Got a lot of time for wearing - he needs to avoid this shit.

I saw this on Al Jazeera yesterday. I had assumed it was the Crabapple creature cashing in herself. . .

 

[Captain Hurrah]
