'NOTHING but Wagner?'

It'll be John Cooper Clarke riffing about it next week but for this week it's Attila the Stockbroker - with a hat tip to Kirsty MacColl, perhaps? - who has his take on that leaked list:

  • 'There’s A Man Down Our Road Who’s A Nazi!'

    Hitler's BNP membership gets leaked

    Promised the world and its second cousin that I wouldn't post any more downfall videos on the blog but this one is too good to pass up.

    It's almost like the film was made just for the express purpose of this particular spoof.

    Hat tip to the fascist numpties over at the NWN blog for the heads up about the clip.

    Nice to see that they still have time to surf YouTube inbetween blaming everything on the Marxist establishment, the Secret State (controlled by Marxists, naturally) and Nick Griffin (controlled by people who are controlled by Marxists).

    No wonder you never see anyone selling lefty newspapers outside Tescos anymore on a Saturday morning. They're too busy running the world to knock up a bogus petition.

    PS - He's really is on that infamous list. Look under H. Turns out he lives in Larkhall, and someone has put 'painter & decorator' next to his name.

    Quote for the week;

    "For nearly 40 years we have raised to prominence the idea of the class struggle as the immediate driving force of history, and particularly the class struggle between bourgeois and the proletariat as the great lever of the modern social revolution; ... At the founding of the International, we expressly formulated the battle cry: The emancipation of the working class must be the work of the working class itself." Marx and Engels, Strategy and Tactics of the Class Struggle (1879).

    Continuing luck with your MySpace adventures!

    Black Racially pure sheep in the extended family

    That leaked BNP membership list.

    Can you believe that there are seven people listed with a variation on my surname? Are you fucking kidding me? Christ, the irony. Do the master race do irony?

    I stopped counting the number of Darrens on the dishonors roll once I got to the twenty-fifth one listed. . . and I was still on the letter H.

    Why am I not surprised?

    There is power in a union

    Via The Onion.

    It's like a flashback to the seventies when the unions were all powerful . . . the three second chat up.

    Monday moaning

    Imperial College: who are you?

    UPDATE

    Don't mind me. A random ramble fuelled by a lack of sleep and an Owen permanently glued to my left arm. Here's a random 25 by way of recompense:

    Not a duff track in sight. K-Tel would be very proud.

    Still curious to know who Imperial College is, though. I'm not that sleep deprived.

    Cue fanfare

    Brilliant, brilliant news.

    That bloke with the salt and pepper beard that Paddy McAloon was always writing lyrics about must really be up there.

    I feel a Kitcheware music marathon* coming on.

    "A pram in the hallway being the enemy of creativity?" A hungry baby in the bassinet is the enemy of me finding out which . .

    . . . demo just marched past my window.

    Bless my old boots (can't swear - an Owen is beside me). Just heard a bit of shouting and hollering outside the apartment - "We are not illegal." being chanted in unison - and, looking out the window, I spot about thirty to forty people walking down the sidewalk towards Borough Park.

    I'm guessing that they're not local. Not because of the chant but because the marchers were overwhelming white and they appeared to have American accents. Kensington is considered one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in the United States but if you see a white person on the main street, seven times out of ten they are either Polish, Albanian or a cash strapped hipster pining for Williamsburg.

    I know, I know. Typical armchair rocking chair socialism of your average SPGBer. Someone calls a demo that is partly outside their apartment building and they still don't even turn up with papers, leaflets and the abstract propagandism.

    I can't even blame Owen on this one. He dragged me to a Socialist Alternative/CWI meeting last month when he was only 12 days old. Something about him wanting his bolshevik inoculation jab sooner rather than later. I blame such precocity on the boston terrier named Martov. He's a bad influence.
