If I were to point out there were no premiership footballers in the thirties would that be taken as an attack on moo? If so, I wont say it.

chelmsfordParticipantIn my humble judgement this whole Brand thingy has been cooked up by the Tory press and others simply to allow our Lizzie to have yet another pop at the SPGB.
chelmsfordParticipantO what an overwhelming tide of ungovernable indifference this evokes.
Which hand did the Buddha use to wipe his cosmic ass?chelmsfordParticipantSocialist man will…’hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner’…and visit the lavvy before retiring.
chelmsfordParticipantThere is an article in today’s Daily Telegraph about Ukraine running out of men to fight. The Guardian and BBC run stories on draft-dodgers. If the Scotsman were still with us he might argue that the public over here is being prepared for the introduction of NATO troops into the war. Of course it will be merely in an ‘advisory capacity’ – at first.
chelmsfordParticipantThe background ‘music’ is annoying.
chelmsfordParticipantI logged on to me bank account last night and there was nothing in it. So, yes, I believe in nothingness.
chelmsfordParticipantOne is reminded of those great working-class anti-war movements of the past such as, er…um..nope, can’t think of one.
The fact is, the working class have always supported war, or at least made no effort to oppose it.
Anti-war organisations are formed by the ‘middle-class Guardian-reader’ type.
The working-class has always been bellicose. And would you want to give such people a choice of when to go to war and who with.chelmsfordParticipantIf by ‘Essex boy’ Lizzie means ‘philistine’ I’ll have her know I can recite plenty of poems from memory ( where else?). Admittedly they are all about young ladies from various parts of the world ( China, Nantucket, Biarritz, Ealing etc). I like the poem that begins ‘Thirty days hath September’ because it tells you something, and the untitled classic that begins: ‘Sir Issac Newton told us why, an apple falls down from the sky…’ warning the proletariat to wear the proper protective clothing ( hard hats and boots) at work.
chelmsfordParticipantO Christ no. Not poetry. The music videos are bad enough.
chelmsfordParticipantEric Morecambe was always taking the p##s out of her, which was unfair.
chelmsfordParticipantAt Stowe we had a boy in our House commit suicide. The House was assembled and asked if anyone could suggest why he was driven to do such a thing. After a few moments reflection a small boy at the front (not me) put his hand up and said: could it have been the food,sir?
School meals are an abomination.
chelmsfordParticipantPerhaps it’s done on purpose to get up your nose. Seems to work.
chelmsfordParticipantThe Labour Party just can’t bring itself to admit that capitalism is a cancer infecting humanity and socialism is the, uh…what cures cancer?
