Yes.
I’m suffering side effects presently from another treatment and my auto-immune system is vulnerable now, I have to take booster injections each day for that, but it is all still, in the round, aggressively tackling my intitial problem so, Boo hoo..
When the vaccine is said by my G.P.or consultant to be ready for me I’ll be seizing the opportunity to have it.
On ‘the wing of a prayer’ or a ‘cuss and a swear’.
All very well, but I was disappointed myself, as it seems to have bought into the notion of a continuing need for ‘economic calculation’ and command statist models, with priced decisions, rather than the advanced, production for use, free access, society we envisage.
Another perspective from Rabbi Shragga Simmons.

The website has been under a sustained attack for several weeks now and that as a result we’ve been forced to implement stricter measures to block the would-be infiltrators.
This includes banning IP addresses that rack up too many failed
login attempts, so legitimate Forum users should be careful not to
mistype their usernames or passwords, and that if they do do so and
find themselves unable to access the website, they should get in touch
with us to get unblocked.If you have any difficulty logging in as usual, write an email to the internet department,
spgb.internet@worldsocialism.orgGive login name (not password)
and IP address (you should see this next to your last posting).
This, by Adam Kleczkowski at Strathclyde about ‘herd immunity’ is perhaps pertinent.

I am very pissed off by it.
My dear comrades came from all sorts of ‘rough and ready’, as well as more laid back ‘polite’ backgrounds and precisely because of that, were still vernacularly part of those,in differently articulately expressed ways, when at times in exasperation at each other, we would let fly.
This thread is American election Keep it on it.
It’s not clear that he is on to a vote-winner here as many workers with a job resent money being given to those who are not working.
..and sigh! they will equate it with ‘socialism’.
Ozy, can you assure me that members of the party never ever used similar against fellow members? 😛
Well, I have seen worst term than that used against other members
I don’t think anecdotes about what comrades, may have uttered in personal frustration, when having had a ‘wee swally’, a fair bit to drink in a hard mean city, such as Glasgow was and still can be, detracts in any way from the fact of their continuing to propagate the socialist case on outdoor platforms, in their workplaces and anywhere else those workers congregated.
Comrades wwere subject to considerable harrassment by some of those elements. They had to vacate a pub they had used for ages when targetted by Orange Royalist bully boys and I was present when Green republican IRA supporting thugs attempted to disrupt our outdoor meeting in Paisley, burning the feet of our young student speaker (Ken Young) with matches to intimidate him and chanting “this is a no go area” in approval of and emulation of, such areas being then set up by the IRA in Belfast and Derry during the ‘Troubles’ there.
There was and still is, although it is getting better, a bitter sectarian divide between catholic and protestant workers there.
We protected the platform long enough for our experienced speaker in attendance Vic Vanni, to take over and truthfully and frankly, inform the ‘moronic’ dusrupters that, “The only no go area pal is between your ears.
We ended with that last word.
“I know the SPGB does not approve the concept of Lumpen, but I think that is what they are”,
I don’t accept that it is appropriate nowadays, if it ever was really so.
“those dregs of society which Marx called very descriptively the “Lumpenproletariat.” It was this body that carried the terror against the Jews and other opponents of the Nazis.” From here >
We do not need to speak to the closed minds, of those contemptious prior to investigation’, but the counter narratives from many who consider themselves on leftist and liberal spectrums are deeply flawed as well and those often perpetuate, speak to, and reconfirm, the prejudices and ideological understandings, arising from their actual social circumstances of those labelled’lumpen’.
This was an addition to the 1929 folder in our historical archives last night. Still working on December 1929 wih Adam.
