Malcom Harris' fellow scab at the scab magazine that him and Laurie Penny write for has been slagging off teachers

Oh that's just mean. There's something about the commitment of generosity in public service jobs, which feels like prey to leftier that thou yuppies.

Have any of the scabberati ever satisfactorily explained why, given their oh-so-avowed leftie principles, they'd be seen writing for a union-busting publication in the first place?

I like the mask of anonymity bit, as if 'The Myth of Progress' suddenly admitting that yes, they are Debbie from Hull will make him suddenly take the question seriously.

 

[Theisticle]

Did anyone read LP's Cameron/pig article? I mean she managed to attend a Harvard journalism programme and still come out a worse writer. Quite some talent.

Oh, speaking of hacks. Bloodworth just wants to be Cohen right?! Labour Party: Nick Cohen, and why I won't be leaving the left - Cohen probably only quit the left again because his book is getting republished.

While I'm in a humble apologetic mood; I was wrong about Corbyn. Wrong to judge him through a weird media kaleidoscope. He is remarkable.

loads of fawning fans applauding her for having the honesty to change her mind.

I skulked away ( virtually) , wanting to gauge my own eyes out.

She's probably got a budget recipe for those (whether it uses ingredients from a certain major supermarket chain is another matter).

Fucking hell Monroe's bleating about the egg throwing is making me rage. Fucking scumbag.

What's she saying?

 

[LDC]

Best one was suggesting people throwing eggs should join the army...?



Not to mention the weirdness of thinking throwing eggs is violent, is she so fucking totally ignorant of the place violence has played as a part of struggles?

Throwing eggs at Tories is abhorrent and morally wrong, go and shoot foreigners dead for Tories instead

its one of the most batshit things ive ever read amazingly stupid

i wonder what she wouldve made of the suffragette bombing campaign

 

[LDC]

I think it's connected to this cultural/political thing that's going on about offense and people being upset or made to feel 'unsafe' since Monroe seems to have fully embraced some of the more idiotic elements of intersectional politics?

Interesting...thats possible... Even if she's working her way through some Nonviolent Direct Action 101 issues, comparing an egging to joining the army gets an F

Its a funny over sensitivity over the impact of a thrown egg and a lack of sensitivity of the carnage the army does...very twisted

Or maybe its just a tweet and like all tweets isnt worth overanalysing. I look forward to 800 words on the subject

 

[J Ed]

She is a brand, she cannot not condemn direct action because if she did she would no longer make any money. Anyone who engages with her online is engaging with someone who has become their own PR person as well as marketing person. Like Laurie Penny she is a 'personal ethical brand'.

 

[LDC]

She could just not say anything surely? That's the safest and easiest thing to do. I suspect she does actually believe what she says with the condemnation. I think she's in a different ball park to Laurie Penny tbh, who seems a bit more clued in politically.

Throwing eggs is a pretty shocking waste of food, TBH.

Maybe she should write a page on her blog about how they could be part of a tasty recipe for the struggling unemployed, assuming she still does the blog.

Yes, I was expecting her to comment on the waste of food not that it was akin to joining the army.

 

[DotCommunist]

are people still whining about the fucking egg? You didn't see presscot wailing about his egging, or turning tail and fleeing into the buildin. Jon got right fisty instead

Personally, I'd prefer to eat the eggs before I went on the demo so I had the energy to throw other stuff, like half bricks maybe, which don't have any nutritional value

 

[LDC]

What's hilarious/tragic/pathetic is that it's not the Tories whining, it's the fucking lefties!

We could call it the Mad Gainz 4 bricking Tories diet
