Age is a state of mind - your physical condition is another story.
Ethics aside for one moment, you may think you're in pretty good condition for your age but some things are a dead giveaway. eg hands.

Sounds like the kind of thing people say when they don't like the fact they're getting old...
Infer all you like.

All the time? That's not weird at all.

She's all over the place! In the run-up to the election she was Lib-Dem, only to mysteriously swap over to Labour and claim that she'd always supported Labour when it became obvious the Yellow Tories were going to go into coalition with the Blue Tories, not the red Tories.
'Yes, readers, these are my undiluted, unapologetic and entirely inviolate political principles!'
'But, if you don't like them (which might cost me my cushy media jobs and lucrative deals), I've got others...'
Nobody said that you were enough of a creep to do so.
I'm taking this as seriously as you are sweetie - no more, no less.

Me? Riled? No, that was a warning. So far.

Why do you keep coming back?
To remind us all that he doesn't want to be here and that he needs to be banned to prevent it from happening.

Home is south London mate
Woohoo!
She asked me to delete a photo that I took once - on a demo in Brighton!
But here's one I took earlier, with rollie attitude!
On the left of Laurie is Zoe Stavri, a mate of Laurie's who I don't think has come up in this thread before. http://www.independent.co.uk/biography/zoe-stavri http://stavvers.wordpress.com https://twitter.com/stavvers
Met her briefly on a demo. Only read some of her writing (mostly feminist stuff, some stuff on rape, a few Jimmy Savile articles) but from what I can tell she seems infinitely more sensible than LP, imo. Seemingly coming from a similar place as LP but without the all-about-me rhetoric. A better example perhaps?
At some level, he thrives on the way that he can interract with people who aren't always of like mind here.
I used to follow her on twitter. Had no idea she was a friend of LPs and thought she came from here!! Can't remember why I unfollowed her.

I like Stavvers' blogs. She blocked me on Twitter in my previous account for questioning Laurie's account of Starkey's "attack" on her, because you should "always believe abused people". That's really the problem I have with a lot of the left/anarchist/etcs on there. Too entrenched in their isms and quite probably a little too studenty and m/c. Though I neither know what I mean really nor am sure how accurate I am with such a statement.
Is he the end-in-himself who slagged off the tube drivers for going on strike?

He didn't, ffs.
Ok, I was only asking.

So many particulars. So many questions.
look at your own class, race and gender and asses your socioeconomic standard and power relation wrt your interlocutor
its a shit fucking american import that should have died with the Weathermen of the 60s new left movement who chiefly banged on about white skin privilege
it does have limited value in encouraging self evaluation but its starting to become a tool for closing of discussion while everyone goes prolier than thou or some shit
identity politics writ large. fuck the world
