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.

Been to a YMCA retail event today and three different people at three different times approached me to talk about how we categorise clothes for sale, as splitting it mens/ladies doesn’t reflect how people buy those clothes, and they wouldn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable because they’re shopping in the “wrong” section. It’s been put forward to the head of retail for discussion at their next round table session. Just thought it was a nice alternative to the usual terfy bullshit that often gets posted in here.

I don't really take 3rd hand accounts of comedians acts as gospel, particularly after being at gigs where bits have have been reported as being done to 'stunned silence' or have been about [x] or [y] when nothing of the such occurred.

I personally don't really like when American comics come over here and do some version of 'actually British Racism is soft and quaint and people who complain about it are cry babies', which is a deffo something I've seen Hunter do.

that said Reginald D Hunter was like a mock the week D-Lister 15 years ago so it's not like Prime Chris Rock accidentally okaying the N-word for thickos in his audience.

But there is something to be said about American comics just not knowing/caring about the racial context of any other country.

Yeah, I've got to be honest, I thought the idea is at least quite funny, seems like the sort of act you'd see at the Free Fringe in Edinburgh. I'm not sure if it's more than a funny concept, if it has legs, but can't be worse than Andrew Doyle

I genuinely do not understand what Labour's game is here. Ok, sure, you're a careerist politician committed to wildly triangulating, but nationalising basic infrastructure is an almost universally popular policy amongst the electorate. It really shouldn't be this difficult even for MPs on the right of the party to back the idea. If you're terrified of losing the insane boomer vote just frame it as Britain taking back control of the country or something.

I read the novel when it came out and I thought the bit where he tries to get in with the modern-day neo-nazi movement but they kick the poo poo out of him because they think he's an Andy Kauffman-style piss-taking YouTube comedian was a pretty funny spin on how things would probably go.

Yeah these two things are very linked and it is wild to me that even our more socialist politicians seem categorically unable to point out the elephant in the room - 'growth over everything' is a loving cult, we don't need to be any richer as a country, we need to get a big stick and bonk a few people on the head with it till they share their toys with the rest of the kids

It might be a popular policy but it's bad for capital so the answer is no. That's what Labour's game is. It doesn't matter if they win or not, they exist to mark the leftmost point for acceptable political ideas.

Audrey White
Fighting back against sexual harassment
Date: 1983

North west
In 1983 Audrey White was the manager of the Lady at Lord John clothes store in Liverpool. When her area manager sexually harassed four women in her team, she complained – and was sacked.
But Audrey was a TGWU (now Unite) member and she was going to fight. Her campaign put sexual harassment at work in the spotlight and ultimately led a long campaign and a change in employment law in 2005. Audrey tells us more below.

She was in the middle of telling us all how we have to go to war on Putin when a sudden loud noise scared the poo poo out of her and made her have to go for a lie down. That will have harmed her chances, but it wasn't compassion - just her innate cowardice.
