Urban v's the Commentariat

[Lo Siento.]

I see that Blairite gobshite Tristram Hunt crossed a picket line to give a talk on Marx. No comment yet from A Very Public Sociologist, the blogger who joined Labour to, ahem, carry out revolutionary work and ended up as a paid bag carrier for Hunt within months. Said blogger has now moved on to new opportunities, so he need have no fear that commenting would endanger his remuneration.

He's very middle of the road these days, makes our OJ look like Che Guevara...

Yes. Jones, whatever his limitations, is on the radical left of the Labour Party. AVPS passed through the radical left of the Labour Party in about five minutes, moving on to cleaning shoes for Hunt and tweeting about Question Time.

I wouldn't really give a shit about one more ex-socialist nonentity with a minor blog, but every once in a while I'm reminded of his existence when he surfaces to make smug, condescending remarks about the left.

I don't think I'd mind him so much if he hadn't acted like such a freak on his way through. I worry he may cause people to believe that blogging about what sex noises you heard at conference is normal in the radical left...

The ref to "han" threw me off. I couldn't tell if they were fighting Charlie or Princess Leia.

Racist.

dunno, i saw it at the cinema but it was only a small release. those guys are such idiots. it might be difficult to find on the internet because i imagine that most of their porn vids are labelled "fuck for forest" but if you can find it it will be worthwhile.
