Does anyone elses' subconcious read that as "Owen Jones touches the political class"?

No, just yours

Gazes at his political navel, more like.

'At what point do I tell my child that life just isn't fair?'

Alice O'Keeffe's "Squeezed Middle" column.

Middle-class mothers spend too much time telling their children to be nice, to share, not to hit anybody, to say please and thank you, not to drop litter in the street, or tease cats, or stomp on worms.

Fuck off.

IME they don't spend nearly enough time.

We're too busy letting our staffies shit all over the playground and leaving bags of meat in parks, apparently

And drilling for fossil fuels apparently. I don't know where you get the time to fit it all in.

 

[chilango]

Middle-class mothers spend too much time whinging about catchment areas, buying Orla Kiely/Cath Kidson changing bags and hanging out in the various branches of the "Lounge" chain of cafe bars frankly.

 

[DotCommunist]

obsessed by the myth of their own genteel english politeness.

touches the political cloth?

Laurie and someone called Molly Sauter who has a buke called The Coming Swarm about hacktivism - "a rising star" says Laurie referring to the blurb. A self-described geek in her twitter bio, LP says she thought DDOS attacks began in 2010! A whole buke about taking down websites, for a bit. Tis heartening that there are still opportunities for careers and brands to be built on this sort of shoddy parasitism.

Actual real life lol at 5:00, LP wishing she was at Seattle. Obligatory suffragette guff at 35:00, quoting Emmeline Pankhurst on property but ignoring her backing of WW1, imperialism, and anti-communism.

And not a peep about digital activist hero Weev btw, airbrushed from liberal #activist history.

Guess which noted commentator and friend of the poor this is for (well you know, readers of, not him/her)

[Limerick Red]

People who like the English defence league have 10 times more readies than people who read socialist worker apparently

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Also, readers of Laurie Penny are more left wing than readers of Karl Marx.

Good to know.

Good to know.

But not as left wing as celtic fans

 

[DaveCinzano]

Fans of Edge Of Darkness are basically Welsh versions of Trabant drivers

Readers of New Internationalist are more declassé and less affluent than those of New Statesman (and there are 35x and 5x more Beano readers than either)

is that a food from soprano's?

[Idris2002]

is that a food from soprano's?

I think it's a kind of creme brulee type dessert. HB ice cream did a zabaglione flavoured ice cream back in 80s Ireland.

 

[Greebo]

is that a food from soprano's?

Maybe. French cuisine includes a similar thing (sabayonne).

Either way, zabaglione's mostly a foam made of eggs, sugar, and sweet white wine, whisked up over a very gentle heat source.

 

[tim]

wrong thread, sorry!

 

[redsquirrel]

It'a an amazing Italian custard.

 

[brogdale]

OT, but couldn't resist...

I know....fatist and all that, don't bother....

This is my favourite. "Hobbies: Sleeping."
