People's Parliament?

[Pickman's model]

Might get some interest from the LibDems.

always good to see tvor

 

[Pickman's model]

a venue for talks - might as well be in a scout hut in barnes except for the better transport links. the idea that this in some way opens up parliament to the people is wishful if not delusional thinking

i once went to a good party at a scout hut in edgware.

Beware the People's anything. If it really involved the people, they wouldn't need to put 'People' in the name. No cunt gets to decide what's for me and what isn't, thanks very much.

the people's palace, stepney

The names for these ridiculous gettingpeopletovoteforlabour talk shops are getting more and more grandiose, we've gone from the assembly to the parliament, what's next? The People's Cruise liner against Austerity?

 

[ska invita]

tbf id hope a fair few people on that list would put the boot in to labour as well, whether theyve been invited by John McDonnell or not

I think there is growing awareness that theres a "deficit of democracy" and the "political class" is "disconnected" from the electorate - you can hear these phrases said across the media spectrum - if i was feeling very generous and desperate to look at this optimistically id say the fact someone has found a key to a spare office in parliament and decided to let some People sit in there for a bit is a good sign....Next step is Occupy Committee Room 9 and declare Parliament reclaimed!

Is this the room articul8? i would like to have a walk around the palace one day - are you allowed to go to one of their subsidised bars if you got to a PP meeting?

 

[butchersapron]

Bring back the workers scud.

I don't get this thread though - i thought wells had decided that the only way to do things was to vote labour? Anywayay, this disgusting event and disgusting people is a recapitulation of the progressive majority nonsense that soppy london bubble types have been pushing for since the early 80s. It resulted in a call to vote lib-dem last time round.

Look at them all. Listening. It makes me fucking sick.

Has anyone heard of this?

http://thepeoplesparliament.me.uk/

Do they have anything productive to offer? What about people outside of London who can't attend?

Do you like pol toynbee? Womad? Do you think genesis had a good period? Do you applaud merit? If so, this sounds like the event for you.

It must be a lot of work being on the Labour left, I mean the sheer amount of effort you must have to put into pretending to be perpetually surprised when New Labour acts like New Labour has to drain you of all your energy.

 

[DotCommunist]

Peter Gabriels solo stuff was much better. Games without Frontiers is a tune.

all those thankless hours spent being the token opposition on QT.

But Sledgehammer remains one of the worst songs of all time, a paradox of sorts.

 

[nino_savatte]

what - other than being founded by the TPA - is chequered in their history?

You've answered your own question.

 

[Awesome Wells]

You've answered your own question.

So they have no 'chequered history', they are just run by the guy who runs the TPA.

Why on earth use such silly language then?

 

[Awesome Wells]

why don't you just go fuck yourself you piece of fucking shit. Go die of cancer.

No i'm serious. Not a joke. I don't give a fuck anymore, i'm tired of your constant trolling.

Actually die of actual cancer. I don't care how unpleasant you find that. It doesn't come close to how unpleasant i find you stupid wankers. You contribute nothing, you know nothing. You are surplus to all requirements.

You're not making sense. Go and have a lie down.

no thanks.

the TPA are a tory front and pressure group- regularly wheeled out to applaud a cut or decry a social initiative on the news, ideological kin to the CBI. Have you ever heard the expression 'if you lie down with dogs you get fleas'?

you let cunts like that in at the ground floor then you've poisoned yourselves from the start

Can I ask a question? Only I've seen this a lot recently.

I've no beef to pick with you but you seem to have a really aggressive posting manner and then get all upset when you get some grief back? I don't know why this is, you're not going to be the next in a long line of urban martyrs are you? Standing up against the evil forces of the monothought clique armed with nothing but righteousness and the report button? Don't go down that road, it never ends well. Why not disagree without picking a fight?

i'm well aware who they are. That wasn't my question.

A 'chquered history' was mentioned. Just being run by a twat isn't a chequered history is it!

 

[Teaboy]

Actually on second thoughts I don't want to know the answer having just seen that embarrassing mess. You need to leave this place as its doing something very bad to you.

grand. why cancer? why have you no imagination? it's so sadly bland.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Yeah, their history of being funded by the TPA which advocates tax dodging and so on does constitute a chequered history. It's just semantics really. They're cunts so don't let 'em speak.

because for eight months i've been stalked bullied and harassed by cunts whose behaviour is tolerated and even endorsed by the people that supposedly run this site.

Some of these people, from having read my threads and posts (such as my efforts to secure an ESA claim) know that i have issues with mental health, yet they choose to continue.

I'm not interested in tolerating this shit anymore so yes i'm going to be aggressive. Very aggressive.
