just a suggestion, but might be good to veer away from the snarkier interactions on this thread - it's not like there's a huge ammount of genuine political animus that needs to be got out into the open etc, positions aren't actually that polarised / entrenched re: project Corbo it feels like ( unless I'm reading wrong * ) and it's going to be a horrible old 6 weeks ahead w/o this all descending into incessant gripey shite.

lol, still hoping to see some evidence to support your Akehurst cribbed ' Momentum are just virtue signallers' claim *...but that's on a seperate thread, this one's moving on up to sunlit uplands of positive interaction etc
( edit in the new spirit of the reborn thread : but also share a load of misgivings re : Momentum, on all sort of levels ...as I do about JC / Labour Left as whole )

It was no Akehurst crib but an observation on the majority of the Momentum members of my local CLP. You're welcome to come and meet some of them at my local but you'd have to be prepared to travel and it would be your round.

An image in a tweet is not a meme. Two images are not two memes. No matter how bad the graphic design and how the NS will pay for any old toss bashing Corbyn.

,
The Corbo dab was deffo an attempt at memetic communication, the fact that it's rubbishness meant it had
negative virality ( so to speak ) , rather than the intended effect, doesnt really change that ?
But then again (throwing in yet another caveat) only thought it averagely rubbish ( ie : so OVAH ) , the intention / execution wasn't horrendous on any Willy Hague baseball cap type level imo

The NS piece isn't about that, though, it's simply picking some images attached to tweets with text and sneering at them for being out of touch while calling them "memes". Then again, who reads the NS apart from people who'd be quite happy with that article?

But you can work out the thinking for the Hague baseball cap: shit we've got no youth vote AND people don't vote for baldies...SO put this on.

Wrong thread I know, but how would you dress mother theresa up in order to make her more appealing, apart from in a rubbish bag?

General election 2017: Labour wants four new bank holidays - BBC News
I would think anyone in any of the countries within the UK would prefer another bank holiday at the beginning of July and/or in the middle of that long drawn out gap between the end of August and Christmas.
In England St George's Day is purely offered to attract the Nationalist favour and as with all the days of St Patrick and St David be in around Easter, May Day holidays. I would never turn done any reasonable offer of a day off but this seems typical, we haven't any quick ideas, let's say something!
What is the opinion of urbs?

Andrew Edge of EDL tries to disrupt the Corbyn rally in Crewe
Are you sure he's referring to Corbyn and not Tim Farron/Libdems?

You can add four new bank holidays to- Free school meals for primary school children - £10 minimum wage - Nationalise rail - Renationalise NHS - Abolish tuition fees
It appears the questions raised have been answered in the Theresa May calls general election thread.

Once sat next to him at a meeting in the Town Hall , recognised him from a EDL picket outside the Town Hall some months ago. Had quite a bit of a conversation with him , he said was thinking of standing in the local elections .Dedicated , knew his way round the far right ( spent more time slagging rival groups off than anything else) but didn't strike me as either a good organiser or politically on the ball tbh.

Not this election, but probably an effect on the next

That article is, unsurprisingly, a mess.
It's a total nothing story. They only give percentages (except where they're giving the figures for the labour societies, funny that) - the actual numbers of people will be tiny, and doubtless dwarfed by the actual numbers given for the Labour societies. Oddly enough I can't find the actual figures for the tories.

So many particulars. So many questions.
presumably all the tory ones have been bullied to death by themselves

I would have thought that the Corbyn effect would have caused Labour societies to blossom, since students are likely to be key components of Corbyn's supporter base. However I have heard that Labour Students is facing the same conflicts that are being played out in the wider Labour Party, which may be why they may not be doing that greatly in terms of numbers. However an increase of 500% for Conservative Future is nothing when you only had, say, four members to begin with.
a 500% increase is only possible if they only had four(ish) members to begin with
