Urban v's the Commentariat

[frogwoman]

why is there a "class" conference and the speakers are all MPs and journos?

‘CLASS’ here is a wacky acronym for a Westminster/TU bureaucrat-heavy thinktank.

C.L.A.S.S. - Concatenated Leadership of All Social Sectors.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Owen Jones, Ellie Mae AND Toynbee all under one roof?

 

[emanymton]

So it's true then, there really is a hell.

So it's true then, there really is a hell.

But there's no heaven.

But there's no heaven.

There is and Rachael Reeves, Hilary Wainwright and Ian Lavery are speaking.

Speaking of Hils, where's articul8?

 

[coley]

My what a lot of labour MPs. Costas lap is a good man fallen amongst thieves.

Though Ian lavery would have had more sense.

Than to do what? Get involved in CLASS? Sounds right up his street.

Always found him to be more grassroots rather than getting involved in these kinds of circuses but he's been at Westminster long enough to have lost touch with reality I suppose.

 

[butchersapron]

This is an attempt by union based people who share Lavery's soft-left inside labour politics to get the ear of the labour leadership. This is exactly what someone like him would be doing - no need to argue anything about losing touch with reality really. These are the same people he worked with before 2010.

Has Sunny got a thinktank/quango/marcom job lined up?

Oh:

I’m working with the BBC to get a documentary off the ground; I’ve been invited to speak at two TEDx talks abroad (and have to prepare) on violence against women in India; I’ve started lecturing p/t at Kingston University. Plus, I want the time and space to work on new projects.

PS:

This site also gave a platform to lots of people to build their name (including Laurie Penny, Owen Jones, Adam Bienkov, Ellie O’Hagan, Tim Wigmore, Tim Fenton and many others).

christ. so that's who's to blame.

 

[DotCommunist]

ellie still doing the unite community thing for london?

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think I tweeted CLASS about 5 times to ask if I could contribute, as an actual person-on-the-ground-who-lives-near-poors, and unsurprisingly got zero response, and the only time Owen bothered to reply to a more genuine question about this collection of smart cunts I just got the usual "bore off" response he gives when challenged.

Says Lee Jasper in a blog post mentioning a ‘leadership’ award he recently received:

There is no "I" in the word team and this award is recognition of the work of myself and many others who are far too numerous to mention.

http://leejasper.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/a-big-thank-you.html

But wait:

...In the circumstances, it therefore seems only fair to conclude that – at best – the LRCJC is nothing more than a name, a paper network of groups that Mr Jasper has links to (what the 'white left' might call a 'front organisation'), with no real purpose other than getting his name into the press...

I'm so absolutely shocked that known mendacious cunt Lee Jasper (see various Brixton Splash threads in the Brixton forum, but most of all the 2012 one) has been revealed to be a mendacious cunt again! Shocked, I tell you!!

I love you, but you hate me. it's like a song by Morrissey.

TYPICAL RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE LEFT

Assuming that I'm a member of the white left would be just another way in which Lee Jasper was wrong.
