ffs, didnt see that

 

[Balbi]

"Don't call me a racist scumbag. I'm not a scumbag." Incredible scenes.

 

[The Pale King]

He is trying to frame it like she's only exposing his fascist links because she is a jew-hater. Disgusting insinuation - scumbag is dead right.

 

[ska invita]

Can someone set out the criticisms of Hope Not Hate please

 

[killer b]

I think Notes from the Borderland have a lot of detail - Notes From The Borderland - Our problems with Searchlight/Hope Not Hate

 

[rekil]

Crapitalism lol.

Spoiler: I'm surprised it took them this long.

20k a year private school, Oxford etc.

She was on that Politics, Theory, Other podcast a few weeks ago, thought she was pretty good tbh.

 

[butchersapron]

I couldn't listen to more than five minutes because of the voice. I really did try.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I think she is OK and knows her stuff as far as I can tell. I.e. she is posh but not a bullshitter.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Also that is a good podcast. I didn't listen to the SEYMOUR one about anti-semitism and Corbyn though because life is too short.

It was actually quite good despite 75% of it being him saying exactly the same things he said 3 or 4 weeks previous like he he was reading from an essay to a very lucky class.

 

[rekil]

Crapitalism tho. Come on people.

 

[killer b]

yeah, that is a bit er crap.

 

[Dragnet]

Going off what I've heard so far, it's not a bad podcast, that. Haven't got round to listening to the one she was on yet, though. I'll give that a listen tonight.

'Crapitalism' is shocking, though.

Oh it's not that bad. At least the video isn't 2 hours of Aron and the interminable Michael Walker droning on using words that sounds like they belong in a hipster phrase book ("I say Jolyon, are we on message to do? If not, can you solutions something while I finish my panini")

 

[butchersapron]

Slightly worried about New Economics Foundation and Schumacher Institute and IPPR types fabianing their way into dominance of any public left economic discussions though and smuggling in their shitty keynianism as radical. Partly due to the way that many people on the left just haven't done their homework and think, leave it up to the specialists.

always hard to escape the suspicion that people that whinge on about " HIPSTER" < whatevers >" haven't really got a clue what they're talking about - eg : what are you actually trying to say here ?

That I find Novara to speak more to a certain demographic than the broader working class.

I may have missed the bit where Basto + co declared themselves the one and only authentic voice of the eternal Proletariat tbh

I don't get the point you're making, I don't do subtext I'm afraid.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

is this the one that fucks like a champion?

i can't stand all of their voices tbh.

 

[killer b]

No, it's Grace Blakeley. She's an economist at the IPPR. Despite that she's quite interesting IMO.

 

[rekil]

This was a day or two after the Levellers shitfest. I don't suppose anyone has got anything out of any of the Novara people about Williamson's Beeley boosting? It's like an annoying people's version of the omerta.

Eh youwhatnow?

Williamson, who has a pinned tweet of Sarkar introducing him as the 'Derby badman', was schmoozing with fascist and conspiraloon Beeley at the festival run by the Levellers a couple of days before this G op-ed appeared.

You two rhetoric twins very much over-sold what would have been an alright 2 min clip.
I’m disappointed, non plussed, underwhelmed.
