Alex Callinicos/SWP vs Laurie Penny/New Statesman Facebook handbags

[love detective]

for all her usage of protest to boost her career as a hack she's got a huge them & us thing going on there - barely concealed disdain for those she parasitical to and gives her her life blood

Hold up your cameras and feel powerful, brothers and sisters.

the lens is mightier than the sword

 

[danny la rouge]

Indeed.

 

[rekil]

Buy that sub a pint.

From LP's Twitter feed:

Like she says, art/drawing as reportage by its nature cannot be fully objective. And really nor can writing. But that doesn't inhibit truth.

At least until truth gets in the way of your grabbing another byline, some more exposure and a bit more cash, eh Laurie?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Quite a large row going on at the moment between some bloke who was arrested for shouting at John Prescott and Penny and a load of her followers. It's all rather ugly. Funny, though, obv.

 

[rekil]

She does get loads of genuinely creepy shit from right wing filth tbf.

Yeah I can't actually bring myself to take the piss on twitter for fear of being lumped in with the scum.

Maybe PD should leap to her defence against the common enemy?

 

[chilango]

You know like the Red Army did for us during the war....

 

[rekil]

I posted the workers defence squad pic, but not with any real enthusiasm.

 

[chilango]

What was said to her?

 

[rekil]

What was said to her?

Can't remember. He deleted it whatever it was.

 

[love detective]

no, YOU want this to stop. I want ppl to understand that violent harrassment of women writers is unacceptable +has consequences

violent harrassment of women who are not writers and violent harrassment of men of all stripes are presumably acceptable

 

[Steel Icarus]

What was said to her?

Something about being amused by a mental image of Penny and her idiot followers burning to death in a barn.

 

[rekil]

What happened to "fewer business lunches and more throwing punches" then eh?

 

[chilango]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh that's special.

 

[chilango]

I want some of Penny's right-wing trolls for ourselves.

See where they can unintentionally spread the word of PD. Those dicks might be dumb enough to take us seriously...

You do realise loves the attention, whether hostile or otherwise? Just as long as she's not ignored

No, no one realises that. It comes like a blinding revalation.

 

[articul8]

58 pages says otherwise

 

[chilango]

No it doesn't

 

[butchersapron]

58 pages says otherwise

How do it?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

 

[articul8]

OK, let me rephrase - 58 pages suggests some posters here are giving her the kind of attention she craves

58 pages of taking the piss. If she craves that, then she's more of a head banger than I first thought.
