I don't want to lay down the linguistic law on this one. But I'm not sure how one lays an egg, at least I can't.

Crack an egg on his nose.

Meanwhile, I look forward to PD establishing the correct line on public appearances by insufficiently-bonkers religionists.

As a gedankenexperiment: should one picket the Archdruid of Canterbury simply for being an appeasing wimp and not Ian Paisley?

It appears that they still exist in Orthodoxy. As, wonderfully, do hegumens. Hegumenae. Whatever.

The dolphin of third worldism lives on, domesticated though, into intersectionalism - which species gets to speak and how? How should we deal with the allegations? Who should deal with the allegations? Was it just bad aquatic etiquette?

Might I suggest laying a carpet or laying the table as being closer to the direct experience of the proletariat?

Unless you're proposing directly organising the exploited workers at the lowest level of the egg-production industry

Producing a carpet or table yes. Laying, only sometimes.

So carpet layers and waiters/waitresses aren't part of the proletariat?

Yep

 

[SpackleFrog]

Had to endure a Swop moron all through my Union rep training day today. Some Muppet from Liverpool John Moore's. She had the fucking cheek to use the training course to try to recruit, lectured us about how she would never allow sexism in "her organisation", and actually brought up the rape case herself in order to tell us that Owen Jones was an agent of the state and that the students had all left because they weren't proper Marxists. When I pointed out that it was probably the SWP's fault that the students had an inadequate knowledge of Das Capital she called me a deliberately insulting sectarian and stormed out.

Initially part of me was hopeful it was Rhetta in disguise but alas, no.

Wow. Is this serious?

Is what serious?

 

[butchersapron]

Your experience.

 

[SpackleFrog]

WTF why?

I'm very surprised the SP supported that.

I know one lad there so can find out if you like. He's only young though, make allowances!

 

[SpackleFrog]

Your experience.

Yeah. It was like a cartoon. She spoke entirely in cliche.

SWP join Islamist protest against Quilliam speaker at Plymouth Uni

http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Pro...h-University/story-20521964-detail/story.html

Usama Husan had the temerity a couple of years ago to suggest that maybe there might be some truth in the science of evolution. For this outrageous statement, he lost his part-time job as an imam and received death threats. Perhaps deciding that discretion was the better part of valour, he retracted his heresy.

Proletarian Democracy and Anti Pacifist Action joint statement on Usama Hasan and the SWP

Comrades,

Proletarian Democracy applaud the SWP's stance of solidarity against the pacifist anti-worker running dog Usama Husan and his lack of condemnation for the Jesus and Mo cartoon. Such a shameful display of non confrontational sentiment can only delay the inevitable countdown towards the detonation of the Worker's Bomb. Despite their Cliffite deviations the SWP have proved themselves more genuine Marxists than many on the so-called 'left' such as the Provisional Committee for the Bright Dawn of Proletarian Democracy, the IWBA, and many former comrades who have through backwardness and never fully understanding our Marxist programme, departed from our ranks and found themselves becoming sects on the fringes of the labour movement.

We applaud the SWP's stance. however, we as Posadists committed to the detonation of our bomb must go further. We take this opportunity now to announce a solidarity demo with the Christian Union at Bristol Union against the Archbishop of Canterbury after he said that maybe it might not be such a bad idea for women to be bishops. And we are corresponding with the Israel Society at Doncaster University who have asked us to stand with us in solidarity with them against Rabbi Sternberg and his failure to condemn another rabbi and his pacifist message that sometimes the Palestinians may not be so bad after all. The Burmese branch of Proletarian Democracy is organizing a solidarity demonstration with oppressed workers furious at their local monks not being sufficiently enraged about jokes about the Buddha.

such actions prove that we, Proletarian Democracy, go further than the SWP. Through our support of militant religious activists we are building a bottom up network against pacifism which will put our party in the forefront of the struggle for total nuclear annihilation and the rebuilding of a new socialist world!

Unless SpackleFrog has gone and got himself a proper job in the last 2 days it will be the UCU.
