Shall we all be racist now Father? Only I've a4e on my back and not quite sure how much time I can commit to the old racism Father.



GOOD FOR YOU SPINEY! GOOD FOR YOU! I HATE THE FECKIN GREEKS

This celibacy is hard for a man.

In fact thinking about it you part-specialise in radical feminist writing right? How about you do something for the Feminist Library down in Lambeth. I don't mean write another piece in the Staggers, I mean volunteer for a couple years as a fundraiser and promoter. You're well networked with wealthy people, and they need £8k a year to meet rent. Do some proper work, get them new digs and don't use it as another line on your wadical Twitter Bio. It won't give you the right to speak for the left, but it'd be a start.

Feminsit LIbrary are desperate for cash, and the Womens Library remains under threat last i heard (a month back) http://historyfeminism.wordpress.co...ibrary-is-under-threat-campaign-and-petition/

I'd thought someone like you (no doubt involved in many informal influence networks) would've suspected as much. No barb intended.

I'm just too trusting.

[Nigel Irritable]

He can run but he can't hide. Or do you mean the lower level stuff like paris, leeds?

I'm not sure. I know that there's an ongoing row about Mr Fred Perry and that this is related to an ongoing row about sexism in the SWP and that some people have just been expelled, but I've no idea if the last part is anything to do with the first two parts. Why did Paris, Leeds, get the boot?

A few years back, all the gory details would have been all over this place!

Time for the PD Intern Programme - internment without trial for any and all media luvvies who don't run quick enough.

Surely "without trial" goes without saying, comrade? What need have The People of the bourgeois affectation formerly known as the "criminal justice system", when we have The Peoples' Justice?

Unconnected on the surface, but they are a surprising bunch. On the paris, leeds stuff,given we've got people on here who apparently know the involved i would hope they're off asking questions and reporting back.

'Forks' seem terribly bourgeois and un-PD. I suggest 'People's Pitchsporks'.

 

[butchersapron]

Interment and show trial.

Interment and show trial.

If they're under six feet of finest gravel, won't that make the show trial part of it a bit lacking in the visual department?

I'm pretty sure you were aleady on the list, no need to queue-jump.

Oh cheers, have heard it being referenced/mentioned loads of times.

make the effort. Its weird, dark and yes the effects are largely lol today but it was good TV.

One of the motifs being that CCTV = somewhere approaching the height of state surveillance/threat. This was back in the late 70s/early 80s

Pitchforks for some, small hammer-bomb-and-sickle flags for others.
