The UK left

[Shechemite]

Too much time cooped up

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Don't want to name the person on a public thread where my identity is anonymous, but a couple who are leftcoms.

You do realise that this peekaboo, dance of the seven veils schtick is not at all a good look.

If you have something worth saying, say it as clearly as you can and let people respond.

There's a lot going on at the moment, and what looks like your attempt at game playing probably isn't the best use of anybody's time...including yours.


Cheers - Louis MacNeice

Golly...fancy that! The 'Left' is not some homogenous group of people...but a coalition of diverse groups who are generally united in challenging the vast structural inequalities which pertain in this period of late global capitalism.

 

[killer b]

generally united

hmm. are you sure about this?

 

[campanula]

hmm. are you sure about this?

Now you mention it...probably only in my naive mind...but ya know...ever hopeful.

What? You're reading too far into this. I wouldn't want somebody nameless mentioning my name on a forum so I won't do the same, even if I dislike the content.

I don't think people are that bothered about the irl identity of the author of the meme, more a touch suspicious about the why's why here? Why now? Why the Taxamo Welf references?

It's mildly intriguing secret squirrel stuff for being stuck on the internet idling our time away. But it's not healthy or constructive and will probably end in tears.

What the hell is plan c, what the hell is this thread about and why is it boring

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Three pages? You can tell how bored people are in lockdown, can't you?

 

[chilango]

What the hell is plan c, what the hell is this thread about and why is it boring

Plan C = a lefty org that the OP may or may not have an ongoing beef with elsewhere.

But as they won't say much we don't know what the thread's about and that's why it's pretty boring.

It's of mild interest to a handful of trainspotters with good memories and suspicious minds but that's a pretty meagre return for a new poster really.

 

[Waxamo]

Honestly I didn't think any reference in name would be brought up. I made the account very quickly off the top of my head because you have to create an account to look at certain posts. I guess I posted it cause I thought it might be of interest.

As for me and plan C - I don't like the organisation, but don't have any particular qualms which are non ideological. I just find it funny that they'd respond to a meme like that.

 

[killer b]

the meme is pretty funny tbf. Not sure it's worth signing up to a messageboard specifically to post a thread about it though.

Probably not. I find the forum intriguing anyway, and had already made an account. On furlough and have very little to be doing otherwise I guess.

I am sadly very susceptible to this sort of thing and so shall spend the next half an hour wrecking my eyes reading the tiny text, snorting lightly at the parts that amuse me and/or frowning at the parts that are too close to home.

Hahaha, you sound similar to me. Most of it you'll frown at a couple bits tickled me though.

Where would you put yourself and why you think it needs posting.

Myself I'm all over the place - one minute a bit tankie, another a bit anarchist, bit left Labour, hopefully mostly a bit normal - however I don't see what the grid adds to anything.

Minus points for fetishising w/c rioters in one corner who are just as diverse and real as anyone else.

And minus points for you for not writing out the words 'working class'.

Stop reducing us to a mere abbreviation.

I think it needs posting because it's been circulating the UK left and is of note when organisations start responding to a meme. As for myself, somewhere near the top left.

Yeah this bit is grim. Most of the bits about women suck aswell.

It's not though.

This is the only place I've seen it.

 

[seventh bullet]

Am I wrong for seeing the meme in the OP as utterly irrelevant?

 

[cupid_stunt]

I can't even read the small text on my laptop.

I think I need a drive to Barnard Castle, to check my eye sight.

You're not the only bloody one!
The OP stuff was illegible to anyone who hasn't got ultra-superpowered and greater than 20/20 vision .....

I just read the thread to check reactions from other Urbans that were posted in actual, visible words ....

Gave up trying to read the words , I didn't think it would be worth the headache plus I'm uninspired by the art work.
People are just strange.

The artwork is rubbish and the text is too small. Can't see any reason to waste time trying to read the whole thing.

 

[Celyn]

I read it. Not much worth the effort but I now have the bright idea of hiring myself out as a Reader of Tiny Tiny Text. Can't see the number on a bus, mind, but can read tiny things.

Useless superpower.

Oh I dunno. Seems pretty useful to me. There'll be tons of ladies wanting you to read the backs of packets and things

 

[Celyn]

Why only ladies?

 

[tonysingh]

Why only ladies?

That was meant to read grey haired old ladies.
