I posted the following message somewhere else on the Party forum, so sorry for any duplication but –
Why are we not standing in the Mayor elections? Here in Greater Manchester I’ve just received a booklet through the letter box, containing the manifesto of candidates.
Apparently it costs £5000 to stand for mayor. So the cost isn’t an issue for us.
The booklet contains information about what I believe is an intellectually challenged independent candidate, who says he’ll “Keep your Car”, on top of the usual party candidates.
It made me think we could maybe have invested £5000 in sending the party case to everyone in Greater Manchester?
If a right wing business man with £5000 and a car can do it, why can’t we?

I’m very much enjoying this thread, my contribution is in honour of Bob Marley. A genuinely great man. It was a shock he died so young [not posting as a moderator]
Enjoy this, if you can friends https://youtu.be/E3wISftyEAE?si=s_kcUNfbuxYrmWFg
I would put this in the musical anti-war category and therefore deserving of a post on our forum (personal capacity)
Yes, I think I see what you are saying ActualSocialist10. You are saying that, if Islamic fundamentalists share equal rights in a democracy, the socialist revolution is doomed. Well that is correct – assuming that the fundamentalists are a majority of the world’s population.
However you seem to be saying that asylum seekers are a threat to world socialism. It’s almost as if Suella Braverman joined this forum for a laugh.

I came to this topic hoping for a laugh. Never mind. Here’s a funny sketch (thanks Paddy) instead https://youtu.be/XGFknyGKtao?si=p5JM2cVM421-E89d
Hmmmm I don’t necessarily agree with what comrade moderator has done. We had a music thread that – last time I looked- had members of this forum engaged. Okay, we might not always have prefaced our music posts with a learned discourse. But surely we were all getting the point. Music can speak more than words sometimes. I accept my moderator comrade’s decision of course. But unfortunately all the music lovers here will now have to go on a weirdly cumbersome journey via this thread and the newly formed “off topic” thread to continue our musical journey to socialism. As if this forum wasn’t hard enough to navigate!
