No I don't. I want Labour/Momentum to promote an actually radical agenda, rather than have "radicals" leading them.

Have you noticed too, that Momentum - who, previously were an insurgent organisation at odds with the majority of the party grandees - has shifted into A Respectable Wing Of The Party? Instead of using their and Corbyn's new found respectability to push the party further left, Momentum's...

I'm very cynical because a) the labour party has demonstrated my cynicism was correct with the last three months of rowing back on most of their more interesting promises b) because Weyman Bennett and SUTR are attending events alongside senior Labour Party figures and c) because internal party...

what about people born with both? doesn't seem like it's any of your business whether someone says they're a woman or not.

Was at that game. Welling were really dire, especially during the first half when they went 1 - 0 down within ten minutes. Second half, they looked a little bit better and equalised, and then looked to have nicked the win when a tired Boro defender tripped over Welling's winger (who was...

If you think Naz Shah, who's both a survivor of a forced marriage and an outspoken campaigner against violence against women (especially in Muslim communities), believes that victims of sexual abuse need to keep quiet, I don't know what to tell you. I've got a bunch of questions about why she's...

Pretty sure we'd be able to build a pyramid if we set our minds to it...

Abortions should be more freely available than they currently are - people shouldn't require the consent of two doctors, for example. It's appalling that you would want someone to have to prove that they were raped in order to access an abortion.

National Action actually celebrate the holocaust http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sick-neo-nazi-gang-set-8866999 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-neo-nazi-group-national-action-perform-hitler-salute-at-buchenwald-concentration-camp-in-a7050161.html

The guy who committed the attack was basically on the lookout for someone with brown skin (which, if you know anything about Mold is not an easy task). In general, I think we should resist the temptation to put religions on pedestals (or whatever the opposite of a pedestal is). Progressive...

Four soldiers arrested for being part of proscribed neo-nazi group National Action. A member of the group was behind an attempt to behead a Sikh man in Mold tescos. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/05/four-held-on-suspicion-of-being-members-of-outlawed-neo-nazi-group-national-action

Neo-nazis murder someone in Charlottesville "fault on both sides" Massive anti-fascist mobilisation shuts down fascist rally in Berkeley, a couple of scuffles break out "declare antifa a terrorist organisation"

I liked this from the Washington Post - discussing the inadequacies of the liberal response to Trump and the importance of militancy https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2017/08/15/charlottesville-showed-that-liberalism-cant-defeat-white-supremacy-only-direct-action-can/

There's a decent rebuttal to Chomsky on libcom. I agree with most of their points. http://libcom.org/blog/6-reasons-why-chomsky-wrong-about-antifa-18082017 My take: militant organising against fascists is good because a) it makes our side better at militant organising and b) fascism needs...

Very unlikely to be ETA as they renounced armed struggle and disarmed earlier this year.

Antifa are as bad as fascists latest http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/08/what_the_alt_left_was_actually_doing_in_charlottesville.html

I don't agree with this. The UK has a sizeable population of right-wing activists every bit as ideologically extreme and violence-minded as the US. Their most recent significant outing was in Dover last January. That came as the peak of a surge of activity from the extreme right. On display...

Sorry, got my fact garbled - smaller budget rather than smaller in terms of personnel

North Korea want to preserve their independence against US aggression. Bear in mind that the US has 30,000 troops stationed in the South, and conducts bi-annual simulations of invading the North. They've also stationed nuclear weapons there in the past. Remember too, that the US conducted a...
