You'll be happy to hear that last night my not-very-left-wing CLP passed a bunch of votes in a clean sweep to the left, including a VONC in Starmer. Also, this guy ran for conference delegate:

and got beaten by the "committed Marxist revolutionary activist" mentioned further down the thread.

There's probably a secret message encoded in those spaces if only we could decipher it.

I reckon we should get Erich, Giorgio and Bill on the case.



Ed: on further investigation I note that the letter is 'justified' (as in across the whole column width - not in the 'they are right' sense!). But the column is so narrow it leaves the big gaps.

This relates to something I was talking to my Sister-in-law about.

In our current society, Plants are the new Pets. Pets are the new children.
And children are either an unaffordable luxury we can't have, or treated like your best mate. Just too young to go to the pub with.

Some people are really protective of their pets.

When I had two kitties, they were my substitute children. And I'm not ashamed of that. I loved those two beasties. They relied on me 100% for food, care. (let alone the conversations we used to have - "miaow?" "miaow"

They lived with me from 8 weeks old to 16 and 17 years old, were with me through fair times and foul - bereavements, breakups, other emotionally traumatising events, travelled 3000 miles in the bottom of an airplane to my new life. I have their photos displayed on my bookshelves and I also have the favourite toy of each (washed!) still: the fluffy bunny he stole off Walthamstow market (somewhat dilapidated after over 10 years of being a cat's plaything) and a small white toy mouse which she would proudly bring to me at 2 or 3 am miaowing proudly and deposit on my bed somewhere.

We used to have the eel man (sold jellied eels and shellfish out of the back of a van), the Corona man (sold Corona soft drinks off the back of a van like that one up there, 5p more for one out of the fridge behind the cab), two different butchers selling out of lorries (one sold whole and half-carcasses, the other did off-cuts and sausages), and (the most evocative of all for kids who grew up in Tower Hamlets) the toffee-apple man, who sold hand-made toffee apples out of the topbox on his Honda Cub.

Now all we've got left is an ice cream man and tbh they're looking a bit down-at-heel.

Rejoice, for next year there will be a Fudge man in a Fudge van. Though my patch is about 180 miles NW of your turf.

On the same subject I found this twitter thread really interesting, on the way children in industrialised societies are coerced into dependence on adults (in a much more far reaching way than 'we used to play outside') and how that's actually quite a recent and very problematic thing:
