Another moan about SPEW ‘stealing’ your name. As you are registered with the Electoral Commission as the Socialist Party, if I were a member of SPEW I would urge the leadership to change the party name to the Socialist Party of Great Britain. Once you objected, SPEW would be entitled to ask: How many names do you have?
Wasn’t there a legal tussle with the Reconstituted SPGB over who was entitled to the full name? The Recons arguing you held on to it merely to collect bequests from dead members?Large gatherings of the working-class enjoying a little of what Hegel called ‘abstract negativity’ a perfect opportunity for socialists to do a bit of leafleting. These are the very people who will make the socialist revolution – so the story goes.
Interest rates down to 5% thus diminishing the chances of the premium bonds coming up.
Prize results on-line tomorrow. Rarely win.
We take for granted that the draw is honest, the administrators incorruptible, and that there is not even a faint whiff of a fiddle.
But have you ever met anyone or even heard of anyone who has won a prize any bigger than £1,000?
Wouldn’t it be nice to know for sure that larger prize winners do in fact exist?Carnivores are allowed to eat a cow, but it is against the law ( ain’t it?) to make love to one, no matter how pretty and willing she is.
If you were to ask Daisy which of the two she would prefer we can all guess what she would choose.
I like the quaint expressions they have and how they like to be photographed.The bookie on our high street is offering ten thousand to one against the world ending in the next six months. Word has it that it is doing brisk trade. Such is the gullibility of people. Can’t they see that if the world does end the bookie wont be there to pay out, and even worse, they wont be there to collect?
Mind you, ten thousand to one isn’t a bad bet so I’ve put a fiver on just in case.After Trump staggered to his feet he gave the leftie clenched-fist salute. This brings to mind the story of Lord Longford who, when a young man, was a tory. He attended a rather rowdy Mosleyite rally in Oxford and was accidentally hit on the head by a chair. When he came round he discovered he was now left-wing.
Thereafter he always carried a grubby piece of elastoplast stuck to his bald head. Perhaps in commemoration?If a socialist candidate bet on himself not to win, what kind of odds would he get?
St Francis of Assisi never made a speech on the doorstep of number ten.
Starmer will be the fifteenth PM I will have served under. And I’ve been poor under every one of them!
