Urban v's the Commentariat

[DrRingDing]

I think you're accused of getting all defensive and making things personal when someone tried to make a political point about internships.

Nope. That was one faulty point from frillyapron. I've had weird and vague accusation from that Seventh Bullet and VP.

 

[DrRingDing]

You are one twisted - and transparent - individual. I try to establish some facts about internship and you do your best RADA/yokel you spilt my pint shit. Thus stopping pretty much all discussion beyond what an empty barn that you are. Go away, come back with some politics.

Fuck off.

 

[Pickman's model]

Except for when it isn't.

Hand up if you know someone who is or was an intern. I don't.

My OH. Is there a problem?

Grow up.

 

[DrRingDing]

Hand up if you know someone who is or was an intern. I don't.

You implication from this post was that if you're an intern you're privileged.

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck off.

Why, am i going to get you sacked again?

 

[Pickman's model]

you have to be as no one who isn't can afford the poor rate of pay

 

[butchersapron]

You implication from this post was that if you're an intern you're privileged.

The implication was that the media concentration on iterns doesn't reflect my experience - it reflects theirs, those who work in the media, and given the clear evidence that the media is disproportionately private school dominated that there is a whole other world of exploitation that's not being discussed or covered. The other interns. Something political. Which you, being an apolitical dick, didn't recognise.

How about if you've been working in a shop for years on a zero hour contract on shit wages? A paid internship even if badly paid would be a vast improvement in your circumstances. I totally agree this is the exception than the rule. But this is the case for my OH.

No politics in the politics forum please dingdong.

i agree it is the exception rather than the rule so let's move away from your post.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Fuck off.

have the workers taken over Firebox with your help yet?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Fuck right off.

Let's go back to your initial accusations.

Can you back them up?

Can you?

No. You're a worse gobshite than me. So don't even try it.

What accusations?
All you've done so far is gibber inanely about the wrongs done to you. What wrongs?

 

[ViolentPanda]

You implication from this post was that if you're an intern you're privileged.

Because, in relation to the rest of the labour force, you are.

 

[DrRingDing]

Me?

I don't think so.

 

[DrRingDing]

Me?

I don't think so.

I'm precariously employed. I'm not an intern nor have I ever been.

 

[butchersapron]

Me?

I don't think so.

Did you spill my gf's pint? Say something vessel.

And yet you seem to expect people to amend their viewpoint on the institution of internships because of the exception to the rule - "DrRingDing's OH's internship is okay, so the rest of them can't be that bad" - despite the fact that, as I said earlier, around 85% of them are unpaid, and therefore the purview of those who can afford to not be paid for their work.

 

[butchersapron]

Cunningly using the lastest log-in to reply to yourself?

You are a danger and an embarrassment stoaty.

 

[DrRingDing]

If you mean an unpaid intern then you must be.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Me?

I don't think so.

"You" meaning "an intern", you disingenuous twat. You are, after all, the person who first couched this as "you", in the post I replied to.

I'm not expecting or attempting to change anyone's view apart the view that all internships are unpaid.

Carry on.

You actually said that. What is wrong with you?

Have a cup of tea and a biccy and calm yourself down. It'll be tea time soon.

 

[ViolentPanda]

They're still not unionised, but they apparently get free copies of Socialist Worker, so at least they're not short of arse-wiping material.

I'm perfectly calm. You need to stop projecting your own state onto others.

 

[butchersapron]

They get the only version of fen class war. His mums printer ran out of ink at 15 so these are rare.

 

[DrRingDing]

Carry on.

As has already has been said unpaid interns roles rule out the vast majority of people from the position.

The link frogwoman referred to is little more tricky as they may genuinely have fuck all resources. Unlike a lot of charities that use interns.

We did alright to be fair.
