Rafferty releases a statement

[Citizen66]

Has he just admitted to bringing firearms into London?

 

[DotCommunist]

if he's inventing ranks for himself why doesn't he promote himself to General?

 

[Citizen66]

Or General Secretary, seeing as he's appealing for all to unite.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

CO is a job title not a rank, he could well be a general who is CO, or indeed a captain or major.

Do the CXF use British army ranks, or a mixture of all the services?

If I was going to set up the Union of Communist Ex Servicemen I think I would use ranks from the senior service and call myself "commodore".

Has he just admitted to bringing firearms into London?

I do believe he has.

 

[Citizen66]

CEO is a job title. What is CO?

 

[laptop]

What is CO?

Carbon Monoxide.

Commanding Officer.

[DotCommunist]

CEO is a job title. What is CO?

Commanding Officer ennit.

I'd like to be a batman.

 

[Citizen66]

If he's ex forces I wonder which rank he actually rose to.

Isn't it considered poor to misrepresent your rank?

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

If he's ex forces I wonder which rank he actually rose to.
?

Failing the selection process for the TA doesn't count.

Sorry to derail, it arsed me off. Back on subject, look which well known neo nazi was with the EDL mob yesterday (bottom picture)

EDL associating with nazis at a remembrance service, you could not make it up

Groomed from birth to be a racist

 

[Citizen66]

Akela in cubs?

LBC poll comments dominated by those lovely, non-racist, free-speech loving EDL, saviours of the British People: http://www.lbc.co.uk/lbc-poll-shoul...60_19635401_10150369847463160#f177010c7be67e8

I think it is pretty clear why the EDL chose to try and target the OccupyLSX camp - it is because their "house paper", the Daily Express, hate-rag of the Fascist-Pornographer Desmond has had hate rants against OccupyLSX about every day since the occupation began. This is inbetween the usual hate rants against benefit claimants, unions, Gypsies, Muslims, public sector workers and students. Desmond and his filth are developing into a bigger threat to the safety and wellbeing of all the above groups than even the Murdoch Mafia. We should dedicate ourselve to the destruction of the vile Desmond empire - I am sure there are plenty of skeletons in his closet given his base in the porn industry.
It was the Daily Express that called for the EDL to turn itself into a political party that the paper could support - something on a par with the Daily Mail's "Hurrah for the Blackshirts" comment in the 1930s.

 

[frogwoman]

Other way round I think. There'd still be an edl if the daily express had never existed.

 

[greenman]

It would be desirable to attack the Desmond hatred and exploitation industry even if the EDL did not exist.

 

[frogwoman]

Never said it wouldn't. But i don't think it's the express that made the edl attack occupy.

I'm pretty sure that was in fact the Daily Star.

 

[butchersapron]

The daily express has hardly mentioned the edl and when it has it's been hostile. It's simply not on their markets radar.

 

[Luther Blissett]

The Walter Mitty Society's Annual Gathering got off to a lovely start ...

Cucumber sandwiches and spud guns in the shoulder bags?

I think the point being made, is that it was the fabricated story in the Express that Occupy London protesters has sprayed 'baby killers' on a poppy stall, which ignited the 'official' EDL threat to the campsite.

It was the Daily star, but does Desmond not own both?

 

[SpineyNorman]

No idea.

 

[emanymton]

No idea.

According to Wikipedia he does.

That wasn't the story though. I take the point that this story might have been a motivating factor for some of these knobs - but i'm not convinced that's anything other than the usual get your haircut, get a job type stuff that they have been throwing around since well before the express ran its story that an occupier had called a poppy seller babykillers. And more to the point, i was saying that accusing the express of using the edl like a proxy-army is simply wrong - they're not on their radar - and even more importantly, it doesn't recognise that these goons already have politics of their own. They're not just sitting there waiting for a paper to tell them what to do.

 

[Anudder Oik]

if he's inventing ranks for himself why doesn't he promote himself to General?

If he gets his clothes from Army and Navy he is quite likely confused about just how rank he is. He's probably a mix between Air raid warden, Butlins red coat, a japanese Admiral and stupid boy out of Dad's army.
