I think there's enough people who want to think of britain as number 1, and want a guy who can fight dirty in their corner. His constant scandals are just proof of his success that he's constantly able to overcome obstacles and it probably makes him seem tough and effective. It doesn't matter that everything he touches turns to poo poo, when it looks like he's always winning.

the communist party had a stall setup outside the shop when i went to get stuff for breakfast. not a lot of interest from the public but i've genuinely never seen them before. only jehova's witnesses

if i wasn't a goon more focused on being hungover and hungry i'd have got a copy of the morning star if it didn't require much conversation

truly we are blessed with a political scene that can spread its various hatreds so wide across the tankie spectrum

on an unrelated note an acquaintance just messaged me to ask if any movement other than Zionism represents Jewish people. I replied to say that a movement based on ethnic cleansing doesn’t represent Jewish people much at all but I feel like I’ve just let myself in for a massive shitshow somehow

RCG used to be out in Newcastle on monument almost every week before they sacrificed themselves on the altar of "defending sexual abusers who donate lots of money" a few years back
They seemed canny enough

I encountered some of the rump RCG flogging papers at a George Floyd protest last year and they got in a huge argument with me defending the sexual abuser again, it was depressing

My local corner shop in a very middle class part of Wiltshire has exactly one copy of the Morning Star. I assume there's one old trot who buys it every week.

They started being more common just on the streets around the Olympics in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games in 2014 just for 'security reasons' and you also see them at airports just walking around with assault rifles these days. It's loving terrifying frankly

Yeah it's definitely new to see at a protest. I've seen armed cops around Glasgow since 2014 though, just on the streets sometimes

TOXIC

At the risk of being too Twitter Lib, I wonder how many armed pigs were at the stupid "We can't wait 3 weeks to get pissed in a pub" protests today, compared to this.

Love living on Normal Island.

Pre-Plague Times you could usually see a few of them strutting about Newcastle with SMGs, typically around the big shopping centre. Just a mite bit worrying to look up from your overpriced pizza and see a tac'd up bizzie with his eyes and fingers twitching.
