Did they include the other side which is just "CVCKOLDS WE COME"

Cary's regiment is odd, they changed sides at some point so I guess he just decided that calling the cavaliers beta cucks was more fun than being a toff.

E: or did he change to the cavaliers, actually, I don't remember now.

Plenty of toffs on both sides to include, in this case, the Earl of Essex, Parliament's commander in chief. Our pals the Levellers aside it wasn't primarily a class war.

As I said, it's understandable if you don't want to give money to Labour. But Labour is also the only party likely to be able to hold national office that is ever likely to have good trans policies. But it never will if there aren't trans people and their allies in the party making that happen.

and i see that as so unlikely that its not worth paying money to people actively doing me harm if they want our support they have to loving earn it

Don't forget the clubmen.

"Beat the poo poo out of any oval office wearing a fancy uniform no matter who they claim to be supporting and steal their stuff" is one way to make something a class war, even if it lacks something in dialectical rigor.

And even if it were both our job and pragmatically possible, we'd be better off doing it to the Tories anyway seeing as they're the ones who have power.

But you wouldn't. Labour contains a lot of comrades, and its members can elect a leader disliked by most of the PLP. Neither of those apply to the Tories.

At present we have enough left MPs to nominate a decent leadership candidate. If Starmer had a coronary tomorrow we could win, provided people stay in the party long enough to vote.

Liverpool nominated a decent left wing mayoral candidate, and look what happened there. Are we sure the same kind of stitch up isn't possible? Currently, party staffers appear to be able to do whatever the gently caress they want to supposedly democratic processes, and this is happening from CLP level and up

Not that I'm aware of! She was the one who submitted about 200 anti-semitism complaints to the party about 110 individuals (I can't remember the exact numbers here) of whom 90 were NOT labour party members.
She slandered Corbyn in the House of Commons calling him a "loving racist and anti-semite".
She's an absolutely vile person.

They try to stitch up every election, but in a leadership election there's no institutional way they can eliminate candidates who have 10% of MPs and I think 5% of CLPs .

Yep. Sir Kier Rodney Starmer KCB QC MP.

Incidentally you can get all sorts of interesting words out of his anagrams for "Sir Keir Rodney Starmer" like "Donkey", "Minister", "Admirer", "Remoaner", "Terrorism", "Rioter" etc. but unfortunately most of those you can't get anything good from the rest of the letters to go with them.

I tried to get something with "Tory Admirer" and "Admires Tony" but not enough good letters left over.

quote:


Cary's cornets were noted by Symonds in April 1644.

Cary's own troop's cornet was red with a creature in a barrel and the motto 'come out you cuckold' (Illustration 1); Richard Symonds offers further detail about the creature in his Notebook4) description “a fox pulling the roundhead by the ears”. The major's cornet simply bore the motto 'cuckolds we come' (Illustration 2).

The cuckold taunt of the colonel's cornet is often believed to be a reference to the failed marriages of the Earl of Essex; but, when taken with the wording on the major's cornet, it is more likely they are a general insult aimed at all roundheads.

Your guess is as good as mine but apparently yes he changed sides to the royalists and started calling everyone cucks. Truly a man ahead of his time.

I think a lot about that guy who tweeted about what he would have done to Michael Rosen if he hadn't been with his wife. The glimpse into some people's minds social media offers is sometimes a little unsettling.

There does come a point when the anti-Labour people need to present an actual alternative. The only reason you know about the (disgusting btw) bollocks that's happening in Liverpool is because there were lefty people there still being members and pushing. If they weren't there then the scum would have just chosen some neolib pedophile and that would be all she wrote.

Yes the Labour Party is being run by hateful pieces of poo poo, we're hanging in there because it's logically the best course even though it feels degrading. If the lefties surrendered Labour then what would happen? What would be better? 'lefty candidates are blocked within labour!' well it looks like lefty candidates are blocked outside labour too maybe take a moment to think on it
