a disabled/sick person is killing themselves nearly every week, doesn't seem much urgency on that.
"]The issue is that the left has been visibly at the forefront of winning and leading battles around gender, LGBT, racism (not saying there isn’t a lot further to go or that it’s a bad thing obviously) while failing to win or being seen to be effectively leading the battle for economic justice, and indeed the centre left seems to have given up at least some of that fight altogether while the further left has simply been incompetent."
Of course that’s because the former battles are winnable as they don’t challenge the prevailing economic system in the way that economic justice must do.[/QUOTE]
There was a very prescient article in Red Pepper, yes, RP, about this a number of years ago, how these would become much easier gains in the future, and that many of the winners would become the oppressors in other economic ways.
That is partly why the SWP focus on such things, easier straightforward wins, popular support, lots of publicity, for minimum risk, their two fronts, UAF/SUTR are hosting a major european anti-racism/fascism, Conference soon, its may be needed, but i wish it wasn't them doing it.

Nor is there much urgency regarding the thousands of people sleeping rough in Britain's towns and cities, and the many problems surrounding that, many of which are disabled/sick themselves, falling afoul of the benefit system.
On another note, there are times when I longed for the days when the worst Corbyn could do in the eyes of the media was walk past some empty train seats.

Antisemitism in Saudi Arabia - Wikipedia
Anti-Semitism Brushed Under The Carpet By An Anti-Semitic Media:
There will be no endless front pages, op-eds, cartoons, "debates" and columns about Tony Blair being paid millions by an institutionally anti-semitic country, or the government selling them weapons for Islamic extremism and butchery.
These links to anti semitism are much stronger and more objective than what someone said about a mural, or dancing around a dozen definitions of zionism etc.
But the story of Blair and May's clear links to rancid anti semitism will not run for an hour in the news cycle, let alone month upon month. Anti-semitism is no use to the establishment media unless it's useful for we-know-what.
As such, their cynical and insincere exploitation of victims for political end is deeply anti-semitic.

It really does my head in when people have a go at the Saudis for being anti-semitic, anti-women, for committing war crimes or for executing political prisoners - it never has any effect and the likes of Blair will continue to rake it in. If people are going to criticize Saudi then surely its going to be much more effective to point out how many witches they have executed over the past twenty years.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I doubt standing up for Pagans (you are right that we should) would have a different effect.
If they don't mind Islamic extremism, hatred of Jews and mysoginy I doubt that sympathy for alleged pagans will tip the balance.

Quite looking forward to seeing how my mate Ricky reacts when I inform him that his anarchism makes him a 'Corbyn cultist' tbh.

I think you may be confusing a few kinds words about andrew burgin with being a 'founder of left unity'. What on earth would that have to do with anything if it was correct anyway? Are they some role model we need to emulate?

Ian Bone really has become a caricature of himself, I mean fuck the Moggs but what a silly stunt.

I was being entirely serious; lots of regimes are anti-semitic, commit war crimes, kill opponents or hate women (or some mixture of the same). I can't think of another state that kills people for acts of witchcraft, so it should be highlighted.

Oh yeah he will be loving this being used to beat Corbyn, I just don’t see what this achieves for Ian other than another 15 seconds of media exposure, and if that’s what he wants, why?

Also anyone taking more than about a minute to think about it would have to start wondering why, if these children were risking being traumatised because of the bad old man saying he disliked daddy, Mogg brought both them and nanny outdoors and then left them there for the duration.

Hardly getting over it.
Well, the other explanation is that some left-wing ninja managed to infiltrate a fairly secure building to leave the fucking thing there.
Although, people seem to be missing the point that Thomas the Tank Engine's grin is fucking scary!

Corbyn being blamed on Twitter atm for Ian Bone having a pop at Rees-Mogg today. Will something so demonstrably untrue stick? Things are so nuts these days I wouldn't be totally surprised tbh.
ETA:
Yep, Dorries is such a fuckwit that she thinks that Class War are "Corbyn cultists". How she manages to put one foot in front of the other is a constant surprise to me.

Start calling him Ricardo Corbynista.
