Is it possible to remove all my replies? If it is, whoever has the power to do this please go ahead.
Ol’Raj Forehead. The opinion he has of himself. It’s not low is it. Wish I had an innovative mindset. Don’t know what it is but I want one.
If the practice of psychological investigation involves the observation of one’s own mental happenings, aren’t those happenings altered by the very act of observation? And isn’t this something that observation has to avoid to count as scientific?
The UN defines absolute poverty as being deprived of food, clean water, sanitation, shelter, education and information(eh?). You will find evidence of this in places like Afsponistan and suchlike, but the claim that it can be found here is laughable. The famished kiddies going to school without having brekkie can be seen gawping at smartphones ( no lack of info there). Some working-class folk simply don’t know how to manage what they have or their priorities are all wrong ( e.g. using National Assistance monies to fund holidays abroad ).
I was in the States in 1979 when they executed John Spenkelink. It took Old Sparky six minutes to kill him, during which time they say he hopped about like a prawn on a hot-plate. Mind you, he WAS a rotter. Bob Dylan wrote a song to keep him IN prison.
Story in our local paper this morning about a fellow who took his local MP’s ( Truss when she was Foreign Secretary) urging seriously, and despite having no military experience went off to fight for the Ukraine.
What tickled me in an otherwise sad tale was that he missed the military bus and drove to the trenches – in a taxi!
This brought to mind a Goon Show – The Battle of Spion Kop.
Bluebottle: Do you think we’re goin’ to win Captain?
Seagoon: Never was victory more certain little lad.
Bluebottle: Oh…then why have you got that taxi waiting for you at the end of the trench?
On his way to the front he ‘phoned his mother asking her to investigate Google map to make sure he wasn’t being taken to the Russians.
The sad bit is he came home and, tormented by his experiences, killed himself. Still, if you will listen to what jokers like Liz Truss tell you…Academic questions – needn’t be answered. No one knows why.
We could generalise this question without going off thread. For example, the SPGB at one time argued that a rise in unemployment would follow from the introduction of a minimum wage. This hasn’t happened. Or has it?
Hamilton wants to see more homes with solar panels. Hamilton is a self-employed heating engineer specializing in the fitting of solar panels. Hmmm.
Interesting dunghill of policies.
Ghastly photograph on the front page of the Times today. Some sort of perverse victory for feminism I suppose.
Not so long ago predicted a war between Russia and Turkey (which would have involved NATO). There isn’t going to be a Third Great War.
Start digging that fall-out shelter.Well this is in bad taste isn’t it? And from a moderator too!
A bank holiday some time during the summer would be nice.
And what about all the Russian capitalists who own expensive properties in London? They wont want them knocked about by Russian atom bombs. Blistered paintwork, the odd cracked window pane and what have you. Would be a bit of an own goal there.
So if nothing else Greater London ought to be all right. Well, the swankier parts.Given the brutal realities of capitalism, Steamer and his crew may find themselves reneging on its promises to the capitalist class. Poor things.
Why do Labour make appeals to these people? After all, in terms of number of votes they are little more than a skid-mark on the gusset of the big knickers that is the electorate.(Delicious metaphor).I can’t see Mr Biden attacking Iran. After all he is an old man who has never had any military training as far as I know, and therefore would be no match for the Iranian army. Besides a man of his age would look ridiculous tripping about like the sugar-plum fairy in military fatigues.
I fancy his chances against Russia tho’.
