    My bad, Alan. I read the story yesterday, and thought if I didn’t post it, I’d forget.

    I have been arguing on Twitter with a nasty piece of work for most of the week. Twitter support have said her posts are in violation of rules, on hateful behaviour. So I haven’t had time to read any of the (quite long) posts, tbh.

    I was a vegetarian and then became a vegan. Primarily because of welfare issues, thinking naively that not eating meat, production could be in the end geared to feeding hungry people?  Capitalism isn’t about feeding people, primarily. I also constantly felt hungry.

    After reading and learning the Party case, my concern for animal welfare turned to the welfare of fellow workers, as we are also treated inhumanly.

    Should there be a tax on red meat? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46122227

    BBC report on taxing red meat. Said a pack of sausages costing £1.50 would rise to  £2.69. Yikes. 🙄

    Saying the ‘tax’ would save 5,000 lives a year?

    Thank you all, for your links.

     

    Only someone on Twitter, I was debating with quoted him.

    I don’t know how this Twitter user was so clued up about him? He also used memes/ quotes by Ann Rand?

    I messaged Max, Twitter account moderator. He replied moments after I made this post. He gave me a link.

    Ones again, thank you all very much.

    With respect to the price. I know a website that was also ‘hacked’. The owner said the cost of getting the site back up and running, was £50,000!

    Two things missing on the new Forums, which were on the old one, a thread visitor count and who is online?
    Facebook, Twitter and most Forums have a like feature. Could this be added?

    David Lammy, Labour MP, for Tottenham. Was at a local public meeting, which I was at. The public meeting was about rising crime in the area and street robberies in particular. Grant and the Police were there to listen to local people on how to tackle the issue.During the question and answer session of the meeting. A number of speakers attacked the Police for not doing enough.When the going got tough for the Police. Grant rushed to his feet and told speakers, that the meeting was not about attacking the Police!!

    David Lammy is no John McDonnell. David Lammy always struck me as not someone to let people or principles get in the way of power and personal ambition.

     Off topic a little. As David Lammy and Bernie Grant were mentioned. During the Tottenham riots, our local Labour Ward councillor,  was talking to a  Police Officer on duty at a police corden, on Tottenham High Road, near the burnt out old Coop Building. I approached her and asked; “why are people roiting? After all  they have the wonderful Bernie Grant theatre. The Bernie Grant Theater, was the love child of the local Labour Party. The councillor disappeared into the night!

    I’m debating with Young Conservative @YouConsevrative at the moment.He said: I look forward to you going up” Ireplied: You’re ‘young’ and naive. You’re the burke of Conservatives children’s s wing of the party. The burke is a reference to the founding father of Modern Conservatism. You get the rest.

The state-capitalist dictators of Russia and their supporters in Britain had no right to do that.It is true that Herbert Spencer, the 19th century anarcho-capitalist philosopher, is buried opposite him, hence the joke about Marx and Spencer being buried next to each other:https://highgatecemetery.org/visit/cemetery/east#featurephoto71

    What joke is that?

    __ Wooooosh I was thinking of using this (Wooooosh) on posts Twitter l Google it, and found the meaning of it.
