Re- “Maybe if all party members were to wear their lucky underpants it would help to create more socialists.”
I’ve been wearing my lucky 1904 “Jack Fitzgerald long johns” continuously without washing since 1982 and they don’t seem to be creating Socialist. They create a terrible stink, but not too many socialists!
TN – “Workers absolutely do have a vested interest in a Russian victory. It will very likely lead to a collapse of NATO and the eventual creation of a multipolar world free of Washington’s hegemony.”
As I have asked you to explain how would a multipolar world be an advantage to workers as opposed to a unipolar world? I have pointed out to you that for the majority of capitalisms existance the world has been multipolar.
All you have come up with is an uncovincing diatribe from a quasi Trotskyist professor from a third rate US university who thinks that Minneapolis was controlled by Trotskyists.
Rather than link the song, I’ve put the lyrics down.
Most will have heard the song, the general public, including those who love to sing along with it, probably don’t realise what the song I saying.Going Underground The Jam
Some people might say my life is in a rut
I’m quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more, but
I’m so happy I can’t see the point
Something’s happening here today
A show of strength with your boy’s brigade
And I’m so happy and you’re so kind
You want more money, of course I don’t mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society’s got
I’m going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I’ve enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Me? I’m too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You’ve made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don’t get what this society wants
I’m going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
So let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow
la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la
We talk and we talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
This braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream
Going underground
I’m going underground
I’m going underground
I’m going underground
la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la
(Oh) la-la-la-la
Braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream
Going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well, let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout
Going underground (going underground)
Well, if the brass bands play and feet go pound-pound-pound
Going underground (going underground)
So let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrowAs a matter of fact the term I used (tosspot) is not as offensive as people think. There are two theories for the derivation of the term, one was that drunkards tossed their pots back and that therefore their conversation, speech or viewpoints could be disregarded as unworthy, or that described the most lowly servant in the household, the one who got the job of tossing (i.e. stirring the pot) so effectively being the most meanial servant of the grand lord or master.
If you consider Putin to be the Lord and Master and True Narcissist as his most humble and menial servant, describing him using the term I used would be pretty accurate and not as offensive as is often thought. As to the other explanation, I’ll let others make that judgement.
Either way, in it’s correct usage, it is not as offensive as many of the epithets thrown around on this thread.
True [moderator removed] states “Actually, law often works by precedent.”
Law which “works” through precident, i.e. Common Law Systems, is only one of three components of those legal systems. The other 2 elements are the Common Law and Legislation.
Common Law and composite Common Law Systems (where the use of precident is further more diluted) only make up 35.17% of global legal systems.
To state that law often (Collins Dictionary Definition – frequently or repeatedly; much of the time.) shows that True [moderator removed] knows as much about the law as he does about politics, history, economics, Marxism and Socialism, i.e. Sweet Fanny Adams

AJ – “Did you ever answer why the name Wagner was chosen for the organisation, Hitler’s favourite composer?”
TN – “Don’t know, don’t care.”
TN’s first answer just about sums up all of his contributions to date!
“257,617 people were pledging to ‘strike’ on 1 December. How many actually did remains to be seen.”
Bet all of the energy companies were shitting themselves, not.
From that “reliable and unbiased” news source Russia Today??
Citing an anonymous source from the very “well respected” source Politico.
So by the same logic, the energy companies are more culpable in making windfall profits from the energy crisis, part of which has driven the demand for an increase in the price of labour, which “the idiot” is complaining about.
Am I the only one who thinks that the quality of the capitalist lickspittals known as government ministers is at an all time low?
Perhaps it’s some kind of weird nostalgia but their equivalent from decades ago at least had a little more guile and cunning than these tosspots.
ALB – “But, while we are discussing virtue signalling in relation to the World Cup, I wonder what the English team will do before the match this evening against Senegal.
I’ll be watching to see if can they take the knee and cover their mouths and make some hand signal without falling over.”
Sounds a little like you’re a bit upset about the match against Wales, ALB?
Putin mobilises God but Ukraine has a response!
The Church of England is showing solidarity with Ukraine. Putin will be terrified.
All we need now is for the Pope to mobilise The Legion of Mary and the Catholic Women’s League!
Rodshaw- ” I think some of the people who professed no religion still believed in angels, spirits etc. ”
To my way of thinking that is not an issue, in the same way that some people think their lucky underpants will help their football team to win, or that saying hello to a magpie when you see them is not an issue.
Politically these superstitions are not the same thing at all as being part of an agreed doctrinal code that sets out the actions and reactions the individual should take, instructs through a leadership group and usually requires subservience to the invisible god (the nature of who is usually decided upon by a politically motivated church/cult leader).
Irrational thinking is very common for most human beings; most of it is pretty harmless. I for one don’t like putting new shoes on a table (my Mam used to say that). Logically that would make no sense because shoe shops often have their new shoes placed on a table and you don’t see shoes shops spontaneously combusting all over the place, but I still try and avoid it. That doesn’t mean that I would follow a religious cults instructions as to live my life.
