Even worse are the people who seem to think that the gammons are going to suddenly calm down if they win. They're rage fuelled twats, being enraged is what they do. If we leave they'll just move on to bringing back the death penalty or something equally stupid.

Even if you were to somehow remove everything that made them mad, they'd start up fringe groups to harass greggs pasties for not having enough meat.

It's like 'if you give a mouse a cookie' except 'if you capitulate to a rage fuelled twat.'

unfortunately there are enough of them to make up a significant portion of the electorate and also they tend to start murdering people when they're at their angriest.

You know you're a steaming pile of horse poo poo when Donald loving pisstape shite Triumph sounds more reasonable on the state of Brexit than you are, when you're the loving Government meant to be implementing loving Brexit.

don't forget Trump gave her negotiating tips which amounted to "sue the EU until they give you what you want"

which was then leaked during his UK visit and May had to awkwardly admit she had received that advice, yes

Of course Trump then reverted to type by taking about a second referendum being 'unfair on the winners' and thus completely not understanding the purpose of democracy.

As an RMT activist I can safely say Dempsey sums up all the worst aspects of the poo poo bits of this union's culture. He's been instrumental in the Union abstaining from an initiative in defence of trans rights on his section, leaving the management with a more progressive position than the union. Thoroughly glad he's upset.

Proper socialists. Generally farther left on issues than Labour, although Corbyn has chased in their direction. Seems many find them unpalatable because of their strict pro-Cymru-speaking policy.

Membership occupies the full spectrum from democratic socialist to full on fash. Leadership just changed from a decent-ish centre-left type to a bland centrist.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Plaid are great ideologically. But they're a nationalist party and there is very little political demand for nationalism in Wales at the moment. Like people still get pissy about the English all the time but no one seems to give a gently caress about actually splitting or doing anything other than grumbling. Also the older folks tend to vote Tory just like in England.

The language thing is a barrier because Welsh is uncommon outside the North west. The only bit Westminster could give a gently caress about is Cardiff and they don't know what Welsh is.

That's a real shame, I don't really keep up with him but Dempsey had come out with some solid takes even though I'm sceptical of his Lexit position. There's a real issue with transphobia amongst the old school ML left (which I'd say he's a part of, if not consciously) which I find very strange, as there's not actually anything in the theory that's necessarily hostile to trans people except maybe a very superficial (mis)reading of what 'materialism' actually means.

There's an old school left idea that basically dismisses all what you might call liberal progressivism as bourgeois decadence. So they tend to be poo poo on lgbt stuff and also a bit iffy on feminism sometimes too.

But if someone can construct a proper marxist argument against sexual deviancy I would be fascinated to hear it cos I don't reckon it exists.
