Urban v's the Commentariat

[Dandred]

When are we going to see a column by one of urban's over qualified commentary?

 

[Theisticle]

What a crappy sketch. The face proportions are all wrong:

 

[butchersapron]

The heads too small for starters.

 

[rekil]

"So-called leftists and progressives" accuse LP of being too big for her boots but here the artist depicts her with a deft ironic flourish as being too small for them. Makes you think.

Not sure how someone of LP's background can be accused of being "uppity". If anything, she is well "downitty" - a posho fantasising about adventures in plucky outsiderism. Exhibit H(13).

 

[rekil]

On top of everything else, that looks a little bit cultural appropriation. I know people are bored with her shit, but fuck me, that's a proper cracker, one for muscovyduck's files.

'White unexamined privilege mansplainer in hammersmith palais'.

Going to have wifi as of next week so I should be able to start finishing the thing off.

SNEERILY TALKING IN AIR QUOTES & ITALICS

 

[el-ahrairah]

caitlin can laugh because she was writing for the NME at 17. And we sure did laugh at her then.

i thought she was a Melody Maker writer.

 

[Idris2002]

i thought she was a Melody Maker writer.

Careful now, once butchers is finished "jerking it", you'll catch hell.

 

[el-ahrairah]

you've been waiting for ages to shoe-horn that in.

Anyway, i checked and she did write for Melody Maker.

Not that it really matters, it's more because i used to read NME in the 90s and found the Melody Maker too frivilous. I questioned my own knowledge of music journalists of the NME 1992-1997

*shakes head sadly at self*

The Great Red Hope and his new best friend, the never knowingly underbreathalysed former ‘Victory To Unita’ poster boy

 

[Idris2002]

"Victory to UNITA"? What brand of fuckery is this?

He was one of those Federation of Conservative fuckers, Tebbit shut them down.

Sudden mental image of Judge Tebbit, astride his Lawmaster, rounding up FCS perps and consigning them to the iso-cubes.

A snippet on Staines:

Staines’s past political involvement came back to haunt him when a ‘Home Office official’ tried to put the screws on him:

“He said, ‘look, I know who you are, we know all about you’, because I had a Special Branch record from being in politics, working in extreme groups. They couldn’t work it out: ‘You’re a right wing Tory, why are you doing this?’ Because I’m doing loads of E and having a great time!”​

Which of us hasn't necked a load of Mitsubishis, gone out raving and ended up the night supporting an armed Maoist group?

It's the South African proxy bit, whilst his mates - and the current speaker of the house - were up their their necks in hang mandela filth that's raising eyebrows.

Owen misheard him and thought he used to subscribe to Umanita Nova. Or he just doesn't care.

I bet he didn't have to buy a drink all conference. And no one had to ask why staines was there either.

 

[DotCommunist]
