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

[el-ahrairah]

Five years? Nah, she'll be a Labour appartchick by then - intentional mispelling there to signify Penny's role of the new way of chickenism - feminism by those who remember liking the Spice Girls when they were five.

christ, you're even more cynical than I am.

Five years? Nah, she'll be a Labour appartchick by then - intentional mispelling there to signify Penny's role of the new way of chickenism - feminism by those who remember liking the Spice Girls when they were five.

Nah, her chosen role requires her to remain outside.

 

[el-ahrairah]

What percentage of an American Apperal ad featuring a nude pubescent girl does it take to pay for a nazi's lunch anyway?

god, that's a clunky sentence. maybe i ask a journalist where to put the commas.

 

[Balbi]

Nah, her chosen role requires her to remain outside.

Yeah and her track record of sticking with it stands testimony to her support for whatever cause she's justifying for her effect.

If Labour get in in 2015, she'll be stuck to some up and coming M.P like Tommy Robinson on a Harvester steak.

Anyone going to the totally nagasaki Vice tenth anniversary party tonight?

As one breathless blogger (who also, incidentally, "work at VICE Magazine and [is] a freelance music and beauty journalist and aspiring video presenter... [&] also do[es] a bit of djing") puts it:

legendary East London magazine VICE is ten years old this week and to celebrate it's foray into being a young teenager

 

[Balbi]

I've only heard of VICE on here - it's SugarApe isn't it?

 

[DotCommunist]

god, that's a clunky sentence. maybe i ask a journalist where to put the commas.

it sounds like the first line of an excruciating joke

 

[butchersapron]

Not sure what the first para means.

She won't. Like Toynbee, she has to be outside for the effect of being an independent radical voice to work.

And i still think she believes this shite she writes. The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin when she's actually Sarah Teather/articul8.

 

[Balbi]

Comma? I never even met her

 

[co-op]

The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin when she's actually Sarah Teather/articul8.

 

[co-op]

We are all Sarah Teather!

 

[Balbi]

Not sure what the first para means.

That her changeability, her ability to alter her past to strengthen her present combined with her firey passion for this minutes must have revolutionary chic could see her easily swept up in election fever.

 

[butchersapron]

That her changeability, her ability to alter her past to strengthen her present combined with her firey passion for this minute's must have revolution could see her easily swept into a stable with the straw and shite.

Ok, get you.In that case same as before from me, she does believe in this stuff. It'll be tempered by 'critical' support for labour and talking at green party events and whatever other groups appear, but her path is not inside the party.

 

[Balbi]

I never thought i'd be a more cynical bastard than you Butchers But yeah, yours is more realistic - i'm just having a bad day.

 

[chilango]

We are all Sarah Teather!

Why not

"We are all Articul8"?

Give the lad a break....

 

[killer b]

Why not

"We are all Articul8"?

<shudders>

 

[DaveCinzano]

The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin...

Collectivist-oriented Bakunin, or Marines-obsessed bakunin?

 

[Balbi]

Bakunin the DHSS.

 

[DaveCinzano]

"We are all Articul8"?

Neither American Apparel nor Russia Today but International Pepperism

 

[butchersapron]

Collectivist-oriented Bakunin, or Marines-obsessed bakunin?

Either way, she's pretty much failing her self-criticism class.

 

[co-op]

Why not

"We are all Articul8"?

Give the lad a break....

Only just noticed the "articul8" bit there - some super-swift editing by ba I think. But *adopts earnest tone of voice* I do think the more progressive parts of the Lib Dems like Sarah Teather may be part of a future radical gov...er no wait that's just bollocks actually.

 

[co-op]

Rubbish. Everybody on the left knows that workers wear Docs and bomber jackets.

Proper retro workers wear donkey jackets, anyone who went to an SWP meeting in the 80s knows that.

 

[el-ahrairah]

She won't. Like Toynbee, she has to be outside for the effect of being an independent radical voice to work.

And i still think she believes this shite she writes. The problem is that she thinks she's bakunin when she's actually Sarah Teather/articul8.

i agree with this completely.

 

[Orang Utan]

Look at discokermit and his smoking jacket, Chinese slippers, driving gloves and Jag.

 

[butchersapron]

He can only afford one chinese slipper. That's proper w/c.

 

[el-ahrairah]

Rubbish. Everybody on the left knows that workers wear Docs and bomber jackets.

welcome back.

 

[Balbi]

Look at Tony Benn with his involuntary hereditary parliamentary succession

 

[Orang Utan]

He can only afford one chinese slipper. That's proper w/c.

Sorry, I just spoilt your gag

 

[killer b]

bomber jacket. proper working class togs.

edit. except it isn't is it. it's a fucking donkey jacket.

 

[spawnofsatan]

bomber jacket. proper working class togs.

Wonder how much one with NCB on the back is worth
