Will the allotments committee be introducing hand signals or instituting a progressive stack?

They need to do something to ensure that the most oppressed allotment holders get their voices heard. The ones with teeth tend to dominate proceedings on account of their dental privilege allowing them to speak more clearly. Since the most oppressed allotment holder is my uncle John - deaf and no teeth - so I reckon hand signals would be just the ticket. Then again is he the most oppressed? As a male he benefits from patriarchy so maybe that cancels it out? All the women holders have teeth and none are deaf so it's a straightforward priv-off between gender and gummy deafness.

We need a middle class intersectionalista to tell us who is more oppressed.

Ah come on. It only makes it even easier for you. You can have us on toast surely.
 
If you're going to ignore someone, just ignore them. Don't spend the afternoon tweeting about it. All the tweets about how he's totally not bothered about his UK trolls. He just doesn't care you know. Not a bit. He couldn't care less. Our awful glottal-stop infested limey moaning isn't penetrating the brownstone of his Williamsburg apartment. Nope. It isn't.

Where's the fun in ignoring someone if they don't know you're ignoring them though?
 
not sure how cunting someone off, on the politics board of a minor UK message board, counts as trolling tho


surely there has to be direct engagement for it to be trolling? Else its just people saying stuff about you on the internets


have you bastards been tweeting him? I bet you have.
 
No I don't. As I half explained :p I see him as a situationist-anarchist since he left university and faced some unemployment.

I'm really not sure it's fair to label him a Situationist.

Debord would be turning in his grave.

He certainly doesn't seem to have gotten anything useful out of them.

As someone who who will happily admit a Sit influence I'm a bait offended to be linked with Malcolm.

He's Situationist in the same way Stewart Home is if you ask me.

I.e. not at all, but slings a few badly remembered words around to justify lame porn, parasitism and generally being a cock.

No need, he's following the thread, taking screenshots of it and tweeting them.
 
Really? the sad fucker.
Oh yes, have a look:

Yeah but if he knew who/what we were, he'd be gutted. It turns out the people he idolises are actually us, but how can that be?

Same with Laurie.

They love the radical chic, but when faced with the reality of a good sample of the last 30 years of British radicalism (yep, that's us folks!*) it's all a bit of a slap in the face.


* this is no time for false modesty. Anything of note that has happened on the British left in the last 3 decades I'm willing to bet there were Urbanites involved. I don't know of many places with such a collective history.
