A worried pug.


Parliament finally agreed to vacate the premises before they fell/blew/burnt/exploded down to restore the cumbling edifice.
The Tories are yet to agree to vacate Theresa May - "Auntie May" (according to Chinese state television) - from the seat of "Prime Minsiter" and aren't interested in restoring that particular crumbling edifice.

Brexit continues to Brexit - thanks to some leaked documents that state it's going to be a rougher ride than previously thought. The usual suspects are now accusing the Civil Service, and Reality, of not being positive enough over it - all the while sharpening their knives as it's becoming increasingly clear that May is even more of an ineffectual shambling spectre than previously thought.

The terrorist behind the Finsbury Park Mosque attack, during which he mowed down a group of muslims exiting the mosque after praying, killing one, and injuring nine others, is currently on trial. During which he admitted that, among others, he was hoping to also kill Jeremy Corbyn for being a terrorist - clearly uninfluenced by the media who for the past three years have been labelling him as a terrorist, and terrorist sympathiser.

Soooo I know we're leftists here; which February UKMT is the UKMT (Marxist-Leninist) and which is the Maoist? Just so I know who I should accuse of being bourgeois splitters.

Is this the splinter thread where we can finally have a Moderate Discussion led by Moderate Thinkers who represent the Sensible Centre?

My parliamentary whatsapp group didn't say anything.

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

This the UKMT-Posadist tendency where we welcome the sweet oblivion of nuclear annihilation and the ascension of the alien techno-space communists from the stars

This is the Pesky Splinter thread for the Radical Centre. We'll start a movement before we figure out what we stand for. Do not be waylaid by the goddamnedtwistoites and their seductive postings! :o:

Most UKMT posters are in favour of controls on immigration and are also comfortable with bankers becoming obscenely rich.

PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

If tags are anything to go by this is the UKMT (Marxist) and the other one's into eurocommunist revisionism and we know where that leads.

God help you if ever you're caught on these shores

A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a shithouse wall
A spectre is haunting UKMT – the spectre of Brexit. All the powers of new Labour have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Brown and Blair, Mandelson and Campbell, Liberal Democrats and German-married 'kippers.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as remoaners by its opponents in power? Where is the newspaper that has not hurled back the branding reproach of remoanism, against the more literate opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact:

I. Brexit is already acknowledged by all Jeremy Corbyns to be itself democracy.

II. It is high time that UKMT should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Brexit with an impact assessment of the Brexit itself.

To this end, Communists of various nationalities have assembled in UKMT and sketched the following manifesto, to be published in the English, because no foreigns or splitter threads
