Off the thread. Now.

But why?

I've hardly started yet.

Do you really think it's difficult to get a job as a sub-editor on the Morning Star?

 

[butchersapron]

Although Susan Archibald's second comment is interesting ...

Can't see it, can you help?

 

[8den]

Is your mammy away this weekend, is there someone who looks after you who we can talk to?

Off the thread. Now.

Wow. Did you come up with that yourself?

Off the thread. Now.

No. I won't, what the fuck are you going to do about it butchers? Oh I know, ignore it, and then, in another thread where I disagree with you, in 2 years time, you'll bring up this thread to try and bully me off that new thread. Tired and weak old man.

Should have REPLIED privately as NOW poor guy might be feeling worse #WHOCONSIDERED #HIS feeling in all this? typical JOURNO who think she done right #justhopeitwasnottakenwrongwaybythepersoninvolved

There are a lot of people currently feeling the same regarding same issues but I SERIOUSLY feel this was wrong way to go about it my MAIN concern is the person in question got help NOT the JOURNOS story

I am a disability rights activist and have been for many years, I also work in partnership with the Samaritans, SAMH , Penumbra, Police,NHS and other orgs all over UK although I have not yet worked personally with MIND.

I spend my whole life campaigning and challenging all political Parties & the medias NEGATIVE constant portrayal of people with disabilities "benefit scrounger" along with others well known activists like Sue Marsh who is well known for her blog http://diaryofabenefitscrounge... and Kaliya Franklin http://benefitscroungingscum.b...

we have all been challenging and pushing to change the way we are being portrayed in the media and let's not forget the governments approach to people with disabilities which to date have been shocking to say the least but we have been working hard and slowly some papers are starting to change the way they write and not before time but we still have a long way to go and although I have worked with people who have threatened to commit suicide I would NEVER write about it knowing they can read it in a paper as I blog for Sunday Mail you can find it here http://blogs.sundaymail.co.uk/...

just hope this guy is alright that was my main concern x

Also never seen Laurie thanking anyone for the information and support she got from a certain person eh Laurie, If your going to do something you should at least give the credit to the people who gave you the advice in the first place x not write the article making out it was yer own and the person who gave you the advice told you NOT to write about it publicly x but a see you forgot to mention all that eh x

I can also be found on twitter @susanas4321

He'll go away in a minute. Never to be left alone again.

Ta. (and to c for the nod)

 

[Hocus Eye.]

It makes a change phildwyer being ordered off a thread. He is usually found trying to do that to others.

 

[love detective]

 

[redsquirrel]

It wasn't an omission, because that article wasn't about me - it was about how private schools construct and perpetuate class privilege. The fact that anyone bright is automatically put on the oxbridge route unless and sometimes even if they raise serious objections is part of that process.

Jesus christ, can't you see that this type of nonsense is precisely why lots of people on this thread are criticising you?

 

[rekil]

Even if this thread goes on for another 1000 pages you will not see anything weirder than Laura posing in front of that shitty painting.

Apart from the painting coming alive, trolling the thread then flouncing (after a bit of browsing the pet thread) obv.

Now that you mention it, I haven't noticed you contributing anything worthwhile here.

Don't you think there are any other threads here that might be more suitable to your interests and capacities?

 

[phildwyer]

I don't know about that. But I do think she's smart enough to understand the criticisms, take them on board and use them to improve her journalism. It's a bit of a shame that she's not willing to do this.

Hahahaha.

You do not of course really imagine that anyone, anyone at all, would benefit from taking the "advice" offered by the assorted exotics who populate this thread.

Do you?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

I'm new here.

Really?

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Your contribution has been noted phil.

 

[Firky]

What was it she said about in-fighting?

 

[framed]

Hahahaha.

[Steel Icarus]

Oh, WHY can't we all just get along? *faints*

I'm just looking forward to the article about this thread. See exactly how it's filtered through the Penny prism.

 

[phildwyer]

Don't get me wrong, I love this place and all, but the day I come to U75 for advice is the day the man with the butterfly net finally catches me.

 

[The39thStep]

Hahahaha.

This is exactly why we took on and beat the 'pro drugs' lobby on here

 

[Steel Icarus]

Apart from when you wanted advice about Reykjavik. Or baby stuff. Or etc

OK, Reykjavik and baby stuff, I'll give you that. There's nowhere better on the Web for Reykjavik and the babies. A person going to Reykjavik with a baby would indeed be reckless if he neglected to consult the wisdom of U75 beforehand.

But for advice on how to live? For sage wisdom on how to avoid the various pitfalls and calamities that life holds in store for us all? With respect, I think there are one or two slightly more reliable sources.

Where would your first port of call be then, when faced with pitfalls & calamities in life? HEAT magazine online?

You're allowed to admit you come here for advice. No-one will think less of you. Now stop making it all about you, Laura.

I would not seek advice on such matters "online." I would consult the ancients.

 

[Ronnie Rubashov]

Yes, but Laura may have been to paradise but she's never been to her.

She can't go to her, because it's not yet clear just who her is yet. The narrative's still in the planning stage.
Kinda think the final edit will feature a sort of wise woman whose sheer humanity, compassion and intelligence make her the de facto 'leader' (though not in any traditionally hierarchical or elitist sense) of an anarchist commune, somewhere in Shoreditch, largely composed of doe-eyed hoodie-clad street urchins who've rejected patriarchal junk capitalism. She'll spend her time dictating gnomic stanzas onto strips of gingham which, when scattered on a favourable breeze, will float to the heavens, scatter then descend in such an order that they form a complete revisionist history of everything; with all contributions of white males revealed in their true light: as part of a ravening and demonic scheme to ....blah fuckin blah etc.

I'm thinking of marketing Laurie Penny voodoo dolls. With instructions and big pins. Want keep the price under a fiver - less if possible - but cover costs. Profits, if any, to some worthwhile cause. Is there much of a market out there - I know Laurie will want some but the rest of the world?
