It's worth reminding that not only is @OwenJones84 doing Labour's work for them, he's doing it ON HIS OWN, with no team behind him. #hero

Makes the whole thread worth it again. Blue checked shirt.

 

[rekil]

She's sort of right about Owen doing a job for Labour but not in the way she thinks.

I don't doubt that she sees herself in the same heroic role as well.

 

[J Ed]

Thank goodness Owen is there to protect the left flank so that Harman can talk about 'broods' of welfare scroungers.

Thinking on a global level, What about Camila Vallejo, Chilean student leader(received death threats), now standing for national elections, for the Communists, young beautiful, always on social media, travelling the world with her 'message' is she in the L/P frame?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

"Bravo!"

Does she drink tea and smoke roll-ups?

Is she also polyamorous and bisexual? Since she's in the Chilean Communist Party, she probably hasn't spent nearly enough time ensuring that she can credibly claim that she is in as many identity politics subgroups as possible. I bet she's never even done a freestyle anti-cuts rap.

Laurie, Owen, if either of you are still on here and reading this, still wondering why this long thread exists... Here it is. Right here.

I don't reckon so no, I certainly don't have my finger on the pulse of Chilean politics but I get the impression that Vallejo is the real deal, someone who really has put her neck on the line rather than trying to appropriate (using ID politics discourse against ID politickers ftw) other peoples' struggles to boost her ego and reputation.

And her membership of the CP suggests she's not a trendy jump on every liberal bangwagon going clash of generations/genders/anything but class twat either.

Don't hide that lamp under a bushel

 

[_angel_]

I


I'm not and I'm not.

Facebook: a sinister device to make everybody voluntarily surrender their own privacy.

You don't actually have to post your real name, photos and pictures of you doing things that would get you sacked/ arrested.
Yet so many people do , and younger than me who supposedly grew up understanding much more about technology than me.

 

[_angel_]

That's because the younger generation have been systematically turned stupid. You only have to look at the haircuts to see there's no hope.

Even I can edit my privacy settings and definitely NOT use my real name. But I'm sort of trying to hide from a slightly stalkerish ex.

 

[_angel_]

There's a couple of barmaids round here I'd like to become my stalkers, but the idea never seems to occur to 'em.

Does your OH know this

That comes across as a bit creepy to be honest.

Bet she's never had to sing a verse of the internationale in order to convince a Swappie paer-seller to give her a freebie copy, either.
