Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

I quite enjoyed the book! It's just nice to read something so positive for a change, even if (especially?) it is a bit silly.

In other words, more loopy utopias, please.

nowt wrong with playing with train sets and making helicopter noises and all that, but presenting it as thoughtful ideas for humanity's future is a fucking joke!

Loopy utopias are good in the abstract but i get the sense that FALC + the idea that if you fix capitalism, you fix the environment (the dopey thing being circulated about 100 companies being responsible for 73% of emissions, etc) works only as a release valve for any sense of personal responsibility or impetus to change.

lol the horse manure crisis was not averted by the automobile but by the streetcar

it's not a "myth" to look at current trends and extrapolate to make a point!

but doesn't the reviewer state that there was no "horse manure crisis" ?

aka the horse manure opportunity

Mark - the book you quote from is called Literature and Revolution

is that from a time when there wasn't toilet roll to publish someone like Batani?

the future is made up

(i was trying to find the bit where leon is like "ALSO WE WILL CONTROL THE WEATHER" but maybe i dreamed it)

Mao used to say Nature Is Our Enemy!

What FALC reminds me of is Geezaesthetics = group of ppl in a pub talking and then years later it's written up.

trotsky: dialectical
mao: less so
geezaesthetics = good not bad except for the name

xps to Tracer

i think i misread your post, apologies.

the horse manure crisis never went away we just shovelled it onto twitter amirite

lol!

Bizarre at this stage.

Williamson re-suspended pending investigation into Vaz’ concerns about the disciplinary panel he was part of.

Hopefully Vaz will pay for this.

I think there is close to zero chance of Vaz paying for anything in the short to medium term and that this is probably a ploy to pin the blame on Elmi, but we shall see.

Lol Vaz doesn't pay for anything. More popular amongst his constituents than ever, got his biggest majority last time around, despite the drugs and the rent boys.

Or, what ShariVari said!

more fun with bastani: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/artificial-stupidity#!

Cineworld, could you please confirm and explain your reasons for this decision?

Arron Banks: Join Tories and unseat the traitor Theresa
august 26 2018, 12:01am, the sunday times
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/arron-banks-join-tories-and-unseat-the-traitor-theresa-6gdc8kqdn

what's extraordinary is that the media has spent the past two years going on about how labour has been overrun by a cult when this has been happening to the party of government unbeknownst them seemingly right under their nose

maybe the UK gov could ask to join Mercosur just sayin

our empire does stretch quite close to them, get dr Liam Fox down to fuckin' Malvinas to negotiate! or just leave the cunt there.

I think we've found it, this is it, the search is over. Jeremy Hunt has done it - this is truly the worst football opinion of all time. pic.twitter.com/xSWIsOhvGE

frail old man in miraculous recovery shocker!

Forget Borisssssssssssssss......

frail... and horny

From that same article - seems like she can’t forget Boris

I shared a cab with him when he was campaigning to be mayor of London and suddenly found myself fantasising about cosying up to him on the back seat. I didn’t. He was a complete gentleman. But there was something about him that made me like him more than I was planning to. I could totally see us screaming at each other late into the night, spilling wine on the sofa, neighbours banging on the door.

No, what I find baffling and disturbing is the allure of the other potential PM, the one whose private life we never talk about, the one to whom feminists give a completely free pass. Why does he get away with it?

Jeremy Corbyn has been married three times, divorced twice, and there’s the racy matter of that fling with Diane Abbott. His latest wife, Laura Alvarez, is a Mexican businesswoman he met when she flew to Britain while her older sister Marcela was receiving support from Corbyn in a custody battle.

She then came to live in his £1 million house in Finsbury Park with their cat El Gato.

No late-night screaming matches that we know of, but then he lives among his people. The London lefties wouldn’t report Corbyn.

According to investigative author Tom Bower in his biography Dangerous Hero:

At last year’s Labour party conference he paid tribute to her from the podium in Spanish: ‘Tu eres mi fuerza y mi apoyo,’ he said, which translates as ‘you are my strength and my support’.

That’s sweet, but it is hardly cutting-edge feminism. I’m just saying, we expect Tory leaders to pay tribute to the little lady when she’s actually a businesswoman in her own right, but the great bearded Marxist?

Article very much in the Will This Do category.

former Ukip MP Douglas Carswell said: “I’d rather have my country run by democratically elected Jeremy Corbyn than the smug, self-regarding, incompetent Whitehall officials that briefed this to the Times,” adding: “Get these vile Sir Humphry’s out!”

woke carswell, welcome to the #resistance

Boris Johnson is a fucking stalker, though - one of my posh friends told me she witnessed him casually turning up at the flat of her posh Tory journalist friend uninvited, in pursuit of a hookup, while she was over at the flat. Then he would turn up at the pub she was in with invited friends, after having taken pains not to invite him (or talk about the plans). My friend who was there said he frightened her because she thinks he’s empty inside and something important is missing from his psyche.

The stalked woman is now married to another prominent socially-awkward Brexit mastermind - this happened around 10 years ago.

Not sure we need inside stories to surmise that "something important is missing from his psyche"...

The more the, er, merrier though.

Oh fab, a story wPC.

My friend had to deal with him on multiple occasions; none of us have. Am I wrong to feel minimised after telling a group about a man exhibiting stalker behaviour?

good
