    The difficulty True Narcissist has is that he views opposing the Authoritarian regime in Ukraine makes him an anti fascist, despite the fact that the regime he supports, Putin’s Russia has very similar characteristics to the ones he stylises as fascist.

    In a similar way he claims that he opposes the vile policies and practices of the Hitlerian regime, whilst he supports and idolises the policies and practice of Stalin’s regime.

    So to TN the ethnic cleansing and oppressive policies against Russians in the Ukraine are Nazi abominations which should result in soldiers of that army being “turned into fertiliser”, yet for example the expulsion of the Volga Germans, the expulsion of the Crimean Tatars, etc. is to be lauded as the act of solidarity to the Socialist State.

    TN appears to have learned a few “revolutionary phrases” and repeats them ad nauseam, without any real understanding of the ideas and concepts he claims to follow.

    He has claimed to be a proponent of anti imperialism whilst clearly having no idea of the basic teachings of Lenin’s concept of imperialism. He has claimed to be a Marxist, but demonstrates no understanding of the ideas of class struggle, the Labour Theory of Value or the idea of historical materialism. He doesn’t seem to know if it’s Pancake Tuesday or Sheffield Wednesday.

    I’m sure there is a community in some village somewhere who are desperately carrying out search parties because their village idiot has gone AWOL. Put their minds at rest, TN, give them a call and let them know you’re safe and sound. There’s a good lad.

    True Narcissist- “More than any flake on this website that’s for sure.”

    TN demonstrates again his ability to marshal facts, provide high quality supportive arguments and never just relies on truth by assertion (irony alert for TN as I know he struggles with that concept)

    As demonstrated frequently on this forum, TN is a truly stupid person. The trouble with truly stupid people is they are generally too stupid to realise just how stupid they are and how stupid they make themselves look.

    I was talking to a mate and ex colleague who worked at a very high level within one of the local health trusts and his take was that the biggest problem that the NHS faces in terms of costs and staffing, is the huge cost and labour involved in managing the ludicrous “internal market” system.

    For example you have some of the Health Trusts setting themselves up in the vehicle hire business, buying ambulances and other related vehicles and hiring them to other health trusts making “profit” for their own health trust.

    Another example is the high number of highly paid data analysts who spend their time working out ways they can cross charge other health trust and Local Authorities for the services they have provided.

    As in effect the “profit” and the “savings” are made by one part of the public purse taking from another part of the public purse, with the “loss” coming from another part of the public purse.

    The whole set up is analogous to the whole capitalist market system, which the free marketeers claim is is highly efficient, whereas the reality is very different.

    “He published his PhD thesis on Marxism and international law as a book in 2005.”

    Wonder how many copies that sold. I bet it was flying off the shelves.

    True Narcissist- “You keep doing this. Calling the match at the half time whistle while one team has half a dozen red cards.”

    Your phraseology betrays you. You clearly know as much about football as you know about Marxism.

    I wonder which soccerball franchise you want to win the conference and then go into the soccerbowl final. Maybe the Manchester Red United Devils or maybe the Liverpooler City Cowboys 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    BD “Hey TN – Russia is offering their troops new incentives, free sperm bank storage, allowing them to have children if they are killed or maimed during the “Special Military Operation (now described as a war by Mr V Putin esq).”

    TN “Described as a war now, is it? I missed the memo. You have a copy?”

    Putin – ““Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war,” comment was made by your hero after attending a State Council meeting on youth policy on 22nd December.

    Of course you have stated that it not a war, I can only presume that as Putin is now referring to it as a war, things have not gone as planned by the Russian Capitalist state in struggle with the Ukrainian Capitalist state.

    Hi Alan – industrial scale curing uses very high levels of nitrates. The higher levels of nitrates increase the curing speed of the curing process and increase profits.

    Most bacon produced in the UK is wet cured, soaked in brine tanks for shorter periods than dry curing. The most common form of curing in mass produced bacon uses the injection of brine into the meat, which is then out through tumblers for a couple of hours which distributes the cure (and the low cost water) throughout the meat. It’s then frozen to be sliced, with the water and the nitrates within the meat. It can contain up to 30% water and can be mass produced in just over 2 hours.

    This is why it tastes so salty and turns to mush when you cook it. It contains far, far higher levels of nitrates than traditionally cured pork.

    Traditional British style sausages have very few preservatives than continental sausages. Most continental sausages have the meat cured whilst mincing, Toulouse sausage, Chorizo, etc. have that highly salty tast to them.

    I generally use only a little salt, alongside traditional spices (pepper, mace, nutmeg, etc).

    The high levels of nitrate in the industrial process increases shelf life at the expense of human life!

    Again the nitrate story is far more complex than the way the papers present it. The amount of nitrate in some vegetables can be very high. Spinach, for example, may contain 500 to 1900 parts per million of sodium nitrate. Less than five percent of daily sodium nitrite intake comes from cured meats. Nearly 93 percent of sodium nitrite comes from leafy vegetables & tubers and our own saliva. Vegetables contain sodium nitrate, which is released as sodium nitrite when it comes into contact with saliva in the mouth.

    “I’ve had years, both from socialists, anarchists and others, of remarks aimed at hurting the feelings of people of sensibility beyond their own species. I’ve had enough of it”

    So going back to my second recent post, do you avoid drinking milk, wearing leather, drinking beer and wine, eating industrially produced crops, avoiding foods that have been supported by insecticides, etc.

    If that honestly is the case, I genuinely and sincerely take my hat off to you.

    If you don’t then, to my mind you claims of feelings of sensibility towards other animals, clearly don’t stretch to insects, wild birds, prawns, etc. are nothing but faux sentimentality, only to be referred to when you are not tucking into a cheese sandwich and quaffing a pint of ale.

    As to having a long memory, I also remember the fake news stories that you posted from ultra Hindu nationalists, claiming to show Muslims torturing cows.

    Faked photographs which originated from Pooja Shakun Pandey from the Hindu Mahasabha Party.

    See link:
    https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/01/14/asia/india-hindu-extremist-groups-intl-hnk-dst/index.html

    Claims that have led to tens and perhaps hundreds of deaths and which have been linked to the increased persecution of minority groups throughout India.

    Are your sensibilities limited to non human species are do you care about the propagation

    TM Your assumption that you know what I was intending to do in my posting shows a degree of arrogance that does not marry in with your previous postings.

    I was not being provocative, if you found it provocative then I’m sorry you found it that way.

    I have a well known interest of promoting better use of meat and meat bi-products, as previously outlined.

    Perhaps it is a bit provocative to a poster who uses the handle Thomas More, but perhaps you’re being a little bit holier than thou?
