I can't take the piss at all every time I go to london I spend a considerable chunk of my time lost wandering around bewildered and getting in people's way on the tube.

So Laurie Penny really is a lost tourist - in more ways than one

Wonder if Owen was helping her with her speech...?

needs a 40 a day habit to bring it down a few octaves

Has anyone seen this epetition being passed around by Mohammed Ansar? He's tweeting it at Suzanne Moore and a load of other people.

Full registration for UK users of social media

Responsible department: Department for Culture, Media and Sport
We the undersigned, urge the government and CPS to make UK use of social media subject to full registration.
Lately platforms like Twitter have been used for: spreading images of child abuse / pornography, hate speech, defamation, racism, harassment and bullying.

Freedom of speech, debate and critical dialogue is vital in a healthy and democratic society, however social media must not be a realm beyond the law of the land. Currently, UK users avoid identification and prosecution as inadequate identification occurs at the point of registration.
Registration should not remove anonymity during use of these services but must allow for proper disclosure of identity for law enforcement.
The Government should consult with social media providers to bring in legislation requiring UK users to provide full personal information which is subject to the Data Protection Act until and unless law enforcement agencies or legal proceedings require their disclosure.

This is all lustbathers fault.

I blame bonathon jishop.

Also, it'd never work.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

We should also ban pubs, as they are used for spreading wacist jokes

I've got about 20,000 words to finish by the start of April. Can I just put out a Twitter appeal to get someone else to do most of the work, claim it under my own byline and then foist it back on them by blaming a carp sub-editor if it turns out to be shite?

No? Thought not...

 

[Firky]

Even her new twitter profile pic is effete.

Leopard skin jacket and fag, like a proper working class woman, yeah!!! Or a cheap Bett Lynch, how post-modern and ironic!!

 

[Lo Siento.]

No money back guarantee if you're not editing a Sunday by your mid twenties?

Unfortunately not. Of the people I still know who went there and are now nearly 30, there's 2 TEFL teachers (including me), a Morning Star journalist (my brother), a quantity surveyor, a charity worker and a paintball instructor. Although apparently until recently there was someone from my school in the cabinet, so the connections must have been there if I'd known how to work them...

 

[Sue]

Ah, ruling class-style!

Scottish parents with four kids and not much money style more like...

 

[SpineyNorman]

I don't think I'm in touch with anyone from my old school now but when I was I think I was the most successful (in terms of careers anyway) and I was a pipe fitter back then so hardly a high flyer - rest were either on the dole or minimum wage.

Yeah, but it's how the wealthy scumbags also like to eat it, so they can feel like they're real people, not just fake plastic middle-class scum.

Never heard that before. To be honest though find it a bit too rich when people make it with milk (and don't get me started on people who add honey/sugar/banana/anything that's not salt...)

People honestly don't understand the levels of misogyny women face in the British press these days. I do think it's particularly bad in UK.

Laurie Penny ‏@PennyRed
For instance: after my talk today, online speculation about whether @paulmasonnews or @OwenJones84 had actually done the research for me.

Actually, you should do it. Get the twitterati to retweet your request to all their mates, weave a thousand soundbites together, and bob's your uncle: 20,000 words

If you don't want people to speculate about you doing your own research, don't crowd-source tips 2 days before the talk ffs.
