Another thing struck me. If climate change is such an important event for humanity, why is it you and I are the only members of the Party that can be arsed to discuss and debate it, ALB.
Because they are not all on here. They are busy elsewhere. There are only two or three members looking at this at any given time and perhaps after the contributions made, further comment is superfluous while consideration is being given to your arguments.
It wasn’t a deliberate action. I had a look to see.
I don’t know what has happened. In some of the relatively recent ones there is a box when ticked should display a comments section below.
Although it is ticked, it doesn’t display the section any more.
In the recent articles I don’t even have this (box to tick) function.
I’ll have to look for a solution.
I would say it was not JUST to kick out incoming fellow workers but I heard those sentiments from a strange array of labourite type voters, one a shop steward in local hospital, soon to jump ship into management.
Ken Livinstone was minced by Andrew Neil last night over Venezuella on This Week
About 10 minutes in.
I wonder how the turkey vote will swing, to green for free range decapitation and strangulation locally.
Sorry. I only just saw your request. I have now ticked for follow-up replies.
A search on the title you provided returned the following below. The site conversion didn’t replace all the folders into previous categories, but the files are all there, so it is aways worth doing a search for any of those, using the one at the top right hand side of the website.
Yes, but from the Forum page itself. Just above the topics list.
Alan posted the Pope’s words and not one SPGBr jumped down his throat. Does that mean you support the Catholic Church? Or does it just mean you also believe that Nationalism is poison?
The Popes electoral platform is inclusive of virgin births and resurrection from the dead and thus appeals to a different demographic, to the thoughtful ones we are aiming at, and thus hardly needed comment.
From their point of view of getting their bums on the seats on the other side of the dispatch box, Labour’s strategy makes some sense…..
Oh he is playing a blinder. No question. Much more skillful than some pundits give him credit for.
Still, the fact that Corbyn is using such language gives our position some credibility and us some standing in the debate.
That remains to be seen, his appeal is to the complacent mass who generally think, “they do not do anything for us” and look to saviours, their loyalty is just as likely to switch to Nigel Faragist populist types.
The more thoughtful ones are going to have their energies depleted in reformist activity and then their loyaties tested in defending future indefensible governmental deviations from perceived ‘socialistic’ objectives, as they govern over us or as we hit the slump which is coming.
The outcome will be a traducing of socialism as a revolutionary objective by references to tried that and failed labourism.
We are surely not ‘supporting labourite rhetoric as the rope supports the hanging man’?
This is when our hostility clause really means something. When we lose members too, as a by product side effect.
It is reactionary behaviour from both advocates and opponents of veganism.
I have experienced it from both sides, long before vegetarianism became a popular targeted market.
I changed on medical advice as my BMI was the same as a poor Bangla Deshi and I was experiencing lots of problems I won’t go into here. I started using fish and chicken and now I am fully fledged omnivarian again and I notice some of the previous sneerers are now vegetarian.
My fighting weight is now a good 10 stone.
Any changes won’t come from confrontation, but as a result of growing self awareness in general of the plusses and minusses of particular choices and also the availability of real choice.
I think the sausage roll example will taste as bad and as good as the real thing, but I wouldn’t want it imposed upon me. Quorn is tasteless without adding stuff to it. The fuss about this one is a surprise as quorn sausage rolls have been around for some time.
I do like some of the alternatives and I still use them, most of my food shopping is done for me now, so I’ll eat what I am given, or become inventive with what is available, but as a heavy smoker my taste buds are shot, a cue for anti-smokers to gang up on poor nicotine addict, but some of those ready made ones are as stuffed with chemicals , sugar derivatives etc or unnecessarilly covered in rubbishy cheese as the other cheap food.
Broccoli and cauliflower are much better on their own in my view and the availability of a variety of peppers now, along with olive oil which used to be expensive and sold in tiny bottles, a terrific additive to root vegetables such as potatoes after cooking in boiled water, frazzled briefly in black peppered olive oil, present choices which were not previously available to economically disadvantaged sectors of the workforce and retired or reserve armies of labour.
My dad had to go out and engage in hard physical graft on a meagre ration of six slice (if lucky) of bread with cheese or corned beef on alternate days, so he badly needed his meat fix of mince and tatties when he got home. It was about one pound of mince between six of us, so ‘relatively’ changed days indeed.
I have only ever once had a good vege-lasagne and it was home made. The best real lasagne I ever have had was bought for me by Vic Vanni and Campbell Mc Ewan in Dinos. Trust Vic to know where the real Italian experience could be had.
I would think we should cease fire on this one.
I reluctantly added some more features about users online and so on. I see a potential problem with this for some users. If so use the Contact Forum admin link.
893 members on this forum; is there a way of contacting each of these members periodically such as other forums like RedMarx do, to encourage more active participation?)
Robin I can’t do this for a number of reasons. We used to have a newsletter was sent out, it was mainly Party news type of stuff, but this fell into disuse. The advantage was that members opted into this. We don’t harvest email info which is in our data base, in the way others do.
It is a good idea but one which would have needed to be incorporated into the original setup where joining members ticked an assent box for regular updates.
I personally don’t do this as regular occurence on lists and fora I am a member of, as it is not dissimilar to the Left-wing ‘sign a petition’ sort of activity.
I would take the 893 members figure with a large pinch of salt.
We managed to save all of those who had signed up on the original site Forum and alerted them to the this one but that does not mean very much.
But he is guilty of anthropomorphising our relationship with nature but aren’t we guilty of romanticizing somewhat when we use terms like human family to get our message across? His language is not ours
No I don’t think so as we do species etc also. While on language and the use of it, Paul had an article here I heeded for some time but then I slipped out of it before it became ‘grooved’. But it is worth a thought.
