ParticipantEvil of two lessers. Haw-haw-haw. Priceless! Er, I don’t get it.
The Coalman would crack ‘jokes’ at the Party’s expense before an unsympathetic audience. Never found those overly chucklesome either.-

ParticipantLabour is promising/threatening to create 20,00 prison places. Since bolsheviks have always been dead keen on imprisoning undesirables political or otherwise, this is another good reason for Jock Conrad and the Comrades (sounds like a skiffle group) to vote Labour.
I suppose this sort of policy is what Jock would call a ‘substantive idea’.It is certainly a ‘concrete demand’ as the building of more prisons should lead to an increase in the demand for concrete.
I dunno, call it pious wishful thinking, but I guess I’ll stick with the SPGB and it’s ‘soggy abstractions’ (we have been having a lot of rain lately), at least no one gets themselves locked up.chelmsford

ParticipantIf I were the American president I would declare war on Britain. When the British asked for permission to fire their atomic doodle-bugs in retaliation – I wouldn’t give it.

ParticipantIt’s a sobering (and amusing) thought that, should the legislation ending smoking go through, future conscripts cowering in their foxholes from withering enemy fire, wont be allowed to light up – because it would be bad for their health.
Apart from being deaf in one ear and having only two fingers on me left hand (thumb and pinkie), national service did me no harm.chelmsford
ParticipantYou’re not wrong there Smeety. Reading that excoriating missive Gove obviously saw that his entire political career had been utterly meaninglass, and did the honourable thing ( for the first time in his miserable existence).
What about a letter campaign to every member of the capitalist class showing them they are being naughty hogging the means of production and distribution all to themselves and they should let the rest of us have a go.chelmsford

ParticipantIrving and Isaiah played no part in building the Berlin Wall.
The Great Wall of China is made out of brick, and the Wailing Wall has never put to sea.
The only prize I won at school was for the largest ringworm. Egad!For three months I was more worm than boy! I bring this up here because a bald head painted violet prevented me going on a school trip to Adrian’s Wall.chelmsford
ParticipantIs it possible to remove all my replies? If it is, whoever has the power to do this please go ahead.

ParticipantOl’Raj Forehead. The opinion he has of himself. It’s not low is it. Wish I had an innovative mindset. Don’t know what it is but I want one.

ParticipantIf the practice of psychological investigation involves the observation of one’s own mental happenings, aren’t those happenings altered by the very act of observation? And isn’t this something that observation has to avoid to count as scientific?

ParticipantThe UN defines absolute poverty as being deprived of food, clean water, sanitation, shelter, education and information(eh?). You will find evidence of this in places like Afsponistan and suchlike, but the claim that it can be found here is laughable. The famished kiddies going to school without having brekkie can be seen gawping at smartphones ( no lack of info there). Some working-class folk simply don’t know how to manage what they have or their priorities are all wrong ( e.g. using National Assistance monies to fund holidays abroad ).

ParticipantI was in the States in 1979 when they executed John Spenkelink. It took Old Sparky six minutes to kill him, during which time they say he hopped about like a prawn on a hot-plate. Mind you, he WAS a rotter. Bob Dylan wrote a song to keep him IN prison.

ParticipantStory in our local paper this morning about a fellow who took his local MP’s ( Truss when she was Foreign Secretary) urging seriously, and despite having no military experience went off to fight for the Ukraine.
What tickled me in an otherwise sad tale was that he missed the military bus and drove to the trenches – in a taxi!
This brought to mind a Goon Show – The Battle of Spion Kop.
Bluebottle: Do you think we’re goin’ to win Captain?
Seagoon: Never was victory more certain little lad.
Bluebottle: Oh…then why have you got that taxi waiting for you at the end of the trench?
On his way to the front he ‘phoned his mother asking her to investigate Google map to make sure he wasn’t being taken to the Russians.
The sad bit is he came home and, tormented by his experiences, killed himself. Still, if you will listen to what jokers like Liz Truss tell you… -
