Most mass-produced supermarket meat is flavourless and almost entirely lacking in nutritional value. The same is true, incidentally, of mass-produced fruit and vegetables. Capitalism has produced an entire generation of people who simply don't have a clue what an apple or a tomato taste like, leave alone the explosive umami experience of a well-reared cow. FFS! Lots of people don't even know where their food comes from. I think that it's mistaken to believe that there is any quantitative or qualitative difference between cow factory farming, sheep factory farming, chicken factory farming or fish factory farming. It's all harmful, both to people and the environment and the only slightly-sentient creatures that it fucks about with. (If livestock were so clever it'd have a socialist party!) From my point of view, socialism won't be socialism if it treats animals in the way that capitalism does. So forget about your chicken nuggets and your beefburgers. If they still exist after the revolution – except as a frozen exhibit in the museum of idiocy and total divorce from the concept of a food chain – it won't have been a revolution at all. Human liberation equals animal liberation, it seems to me. And I don't even like animals. I like animals about as much as I like humans. Which is to say, scarcely at all. I'm not a vegetarian. My attitude to food is simple. If you speak to it and it can't answer then it's on the menu. And that includes tabloid readers and the watchers of the X-Factor. But you really shouldn't be eating that stuff unless you know where it came from.
Fuck me, someone who is as misanthropic as myself, Right on brother/sister. The only slight points of disagreement, beefburgers can be delicious, if made with properly produced beef, and you seem to rule out eating parrots. my socialist trained golden eagle only eats carrots and sprouts

bird shit is useful, mix in your tomato trench.

Gove complained that he had been misinterpreted but that was his own fault as he was playing Brexist politics. He didn't want it included because it was EU legislation and wanted to pass UK legislation saying the same thing.That doesn't necessarily prove that Michael Gove is a sentient being. Perhaps some form of painful experiment could be arranged to investigate the matter?
Gove can borrow a pair of my overalls and spend a 12 hour night shift in a shipyard with me. That should be painful to a parasite like him.

I would consider that a breach of Rule 6 as well "… or otherwise assist any other political party."Yeah, let's have a witchhunt in the old Stalinist tradition. I know he has a wife that could be shot under rule 6. Linda and I are in the clear as we haven't spoken to Steve or Eileen since our last bust up in the branch (phew) but I wont be keeping my head down. Nor are we members of the long reviled NERB (Most of them live miles from Seaham anyway, so you can stop salivating)I have to be honest, Alan, your post disturbed me. The last time I was so disturbed was when you posted that you would never allow me to speak on this forum ever again. It is you that should hold your head in shame, too. I have known comrade Colborne for 40 years and during that time he has barely uttered a sentence that did not include SPGB or socialism. He should have informed the party, yes, and resigned but don't try to turn him into the anti-christ. He is not an SPGB representative but you can guarantee the SPGB case will be echoing around the corridors of power in Seaham. He is incapable of not talking about it. Don't ask me to stop calling him comrade. Steven stood up for my right to speak even when our differnces were at their peak.
I am quite sure if the EC put comrade Colborn in front of a Firing squad his final words would be Abolish the wages system.
