loads of people move to the right (or further to the left) from being politically active. If she thinks thatcher was a great feminist icon why not just say so and not add all this other shit.

that owen jones and billy bragg thing, such a load of bollocks, just confirms everyone's image of these cunts as a load of sanctimonious party police

I'm currently working at Kwikfit...

...now I can change tyres and fit exhausts.

We should have a go at him for using this sort of violent language and imagery to sell his wares. This macho posturing serves to dehumanise and alienate entire swathes of the population and demeans us all.

Ding ding, round one as Billy comes out punching like the political heavyweight that he is with this unique collection of songs which offer the Right out for a fight then sticks a head butt on them when they're not ready.

 

[love detective]

are you suggesting we can get better than a quick fit fitter and they're not the boys to trust?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

If anyone can Laurie can write an excellent piece on Thatcher.

If anyone can Laurie can write an excellent piece on Thatcher.

Why?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

I'd love it if she got turned away from a Thatcher death party.

I saw her at the Brixton Thatcher death party too, she was standing near us. She didn't appear to be going round interviewing people - just standing there with a look of wonder on her face, and smoking rollies. She wasn't around long - 20 mins at best from what I could see. I was quite tempted to go on a little wind-up, but I thought it wasn't the day for it

I hasten to add that I am not personally impugning StrangeCat, only expressing scepticism that anyone at KwikFit can actually fit an exhaust properly

Some German pub refers to Jacobin as a "hipster" magazine. That's okay, I find the firebombing of Dresden hilarious.

He's referring to Taz.de.

Earlier today....

Also pleased to have mollycrabapple in jacobinmag today! On being an artist and her turn to politics.

who is this cunt and what does he want?

 

[sihhi]

who is this cunt and what does he want?

Steady on, he just wants superstar basketballers to have massive wage contracts and endorsements etc as expressed in his article (their capitals) JEREMY LIN IS NOT GREEDY, YOU'RE JUST STUPID

...She wasn't around long - 20 mins at best from what I could see...

So now we know roughly how long it takes for her to make a "quote" up.

"Welcome to the boards StrangeCat but I don't understand this - "being small was her thing" - what are you saying here?"

I'm just saying she's small...tiny...and she plays on it...like it's a 'thing' to be, or have achieved. Not sure really. It's hard to explain. Some people are small as a physiological state. Some people are small but also take possession of their smallness as though it's a valuable and worthwhile attribute...a bit like Giant Haystacks. He was more than big. Being big was his 'thing'.

""I should stress this: she is tiny. If it does all turn to shit, writing wise, there'll always be panto."
Also here ???"

I was thinking 'Snow White', possibly with Natalie Kennedy as Snow White.

Pixie like?

Does she drink tea and smoke roll-ups?

BREAKING: Camila makes an unidentified hot drink at the start of this vid. My money is on bovril. She smokes fags but doesn't go on and on about it all the time for some reason. hth

You couldn't make it up...

 

[rosecore]

Self-awareness? Nah.

 

[rekil]

But what about her hat situation?

Last seen wearing a wide floppy brimmed one at slain trade unionist's funeral. Also been known to rock a teacosy type thing, a Neruda/fisherman style cap and of course her Proletarian Democracy issue hardhat.

I don't think that's bovril. Since when does anyone keep bovril in its own little ceramic jar? I reckon it's instant coffee.

(please note: storing instant coffee in a special ceramic container rather than just the original jar strikes me as a petit bourgeois affectation; we'll have to watch out for reformist tendencies in this one, comrades)

She's also been seen sharing a platform with those of a "hipster hat" tendency; again, we'll have to check this doesn't develop into adopting these tendencies herself...

Anyway, although I'd much rather look at pictures of Camila, maybe we should return at this point to the subject at hand.

Not really, loads of officers probably got their cancelled rest days reinstated just on the strength of that tweet.
