January 12, 20179 yr The problem with him is that all he's fussed about is preaching to the converted, getting the plaudits from a meeting of Islington dinner party socialists, unwashed Dave Sparts or union bods who have zilch in common with him but who will clap him just to make him feel good. And in one sense that's understandable - it's an easy life, you feel wanted, people cheer him and there's always going to be a gaggle of fruity socialist student lasses to goggle at as they fawn over him from the front row of the meeting But in the end it achieves fuck all. There was a thing a bit back where he turned up late (or not at all, I can't remember) for a meeting somewhere up north (might have been Burnley) as he'd been at a pro-Venezuela rally. When the question was asked what his priorities were he said summat to the effect of "well plenty of people in Burnley care about Venezuela too". Now that's obvious bollocks on at least two levels. Firstly 99.9% of Burnley couldn't give a shite about Venezuela (after all, their attention never strays much further afield than Bacup). But more importantly, if there is a genuine world issue that the UK can help deal with then no amount of fringe meetings will help - it has to be through government. Which means you might want to present a policy/image that will give you a chance of forming a government. But he's not interested or remotely capable of that - he just wants to carry on what he's done all his life and garner the plaudits of the faithful at whatever event he can get to. I don't know much about these things and his history - but what has he ever achieved or brought about in politics? Even from the back benches of the opposition - has he ever pushed through / instigated anything that has actually matters? I'd like to know; because if after this time in politics the answer is "nothing" then what's the fucking point of him? Even if you were not of the same political persuasion and didn't agree with something he'd got implemented, you could at least say he'd gone with his beliefs and made the effort to get summat done. But all he seems to do is play to a well rehearsed and sycophantic audience. Nice for him but fuck all use for anyone else. Well conceived and written. On a more trivial note, has he any fucking idea how utterly stupid he looks in his Chairman Mao hats? No doubt a fashion sensation in the wine bars of Islington's Upper Street where the peasants meet to plan their popular uprising.

January 12, 20179 yr You've not been to Islington in a while, have you? Is the CID aware of your abilities?
January 12, 20179 yr You've not been to Islington in a while, have you? Last time I went to Islington I'd told Mrs Dee I was out for the night with an old school mate (RTS - embankment). We ended up watching a reggae band with a lock in 'til about 3am in a pub in Islington which was the only thing standing in a desert of demolished buuldings and culminated in being chucked out of the Wimpy opposite Kings Cross by security at 5:30 in the morning. Great night out.
January 12, 20179 yr Last time it went out in Islington it was on upper street for a works Christmas do in 2002 I thrown out from the it's a scream pub Pretty harsh for a leathered bloke trying to play pool then ripped the table Managed to get back in,served at the bar then thrown out again And again Got me banned for life apparently
