Boris Bashed - what a Belter

[The Black Hand]

That blog is so quaint. It's like a grubby 20 year old copy of Class War that's found itself trapped in the bright clean land of Internet. Almost the equivalent of a 19th Century chimney sweep finding himself at a garden party hosted by PC World. Why does Ian Bone still have this misty eyed nostalgia for the 1980s? You'd think he'd like Thatcher for the fact that he's based his entire "career" around her.

Your pov is just plain surreal - you see what you want to see.

i get to use the expression 'heartwarming' for the second time on one thread!

I repeat:

i feel this image is worth repeating to anyone who doesn't think that johnson deserves a bit of argy bargy now and again. this is a man who was a member of a club that used to destroy things for shits and giggles and then pay for their damage in the belief that somehow this makes it alright. he may be slightly less loathsome than the average tory, but that still means that in the scale of animal evolution he serves less purpose that the the black mould you get in bathrooms. i think he deserves a bit of terrorisation now and again just to remind him what he put waiting staff and bar patrons through in his youth.

Do you think that teenage thugs deserve a slap 25 years later when they're hard-working, family-minded adults?

The cunts above, yes. They're doing it on a national scale now.

 

[cockneyrebel]

What did they smash up when they were younger?

 

[Fruitloop]

restaurants and the like.

Would be quite funny seeing David Dimblebee smashing up a restaurant.....

Has no-one else here trashed anything before out of interest?

it depends. those that are members of parliament i'd say yes.

i mean, we all got up to a bit of naughtiness in our teens. but i think most people i know had grown out of their mindless destruction of other people's property phase by the age of 18.

i must admit that i have. but my vandalism has always been politically motivated - pixie patrols and the like. some i can still justify, others i think was badly targetted. and you know what, some people don't approve and let me know about it!

 

[JHE]

Pixie patrols sound great - but what are they? Do you only see them if you've taken the right drugs?

 

[bluestreak]

i'm not answering that. if you need to ask what a pixie patrol is, you probably won't like the answer. sometimes drugs were involved yes.

[Dissident Junk]

Is that the blog of THE Ian Bone?

As in Class War?

Edited to add: although I did feel his Sheherazade Goldsmith article *ahem* wasn't vicious enough. Oh dear, the old nihilism surfaces in Dissident Junk.

Yeppo.

 

[Dissident Junk]

Well, you never know.

There may be some room for a more evolved movement, maybe called NuClass War.

Not that I condone violence against people of any sort, I do recognise the worth of a few vocal protest tactics against the uber rich. However, just because Boris was a toff, doesn't mean he automatically qualifies as a target.

I'd be more likely to go for someone, ooooh, that's just bought an entire street in Doncaster with his city bonus.

 

[Luther Blissett]

Ochlarchist Mob Assault Bicycling Boris - that can hardly be termed anarchism, can it - more like assault.

Anarchists: "we reject all forms of social relations based on systemic violence"

Ochlarchists: "oh look, there's that geezer Boris let's bash 'im, rich bastid"

 

[bluestreak]

sorry, are you arguing for or against, LB?

 

[tastebud]

That's funny.

 

[Luther Blissett]

sorry, are you arguing for or against, LB?

am i arguing for or against what, bluestreak?

 

[The Black Hand]

There's something reassuringly old-fashioned about the Ian Bone/Old Class War/Bash the Rich school of political violence. No one gets hurt. There are no guns, knives or bombs - just some shouting and maybe a bit of pushing and shoving. It's all jolly good fun - and then off to the pub for lashings of cider. It's the Beano, Dandy and Famous Five of revolutionary terror.

There is an element of truth in this you know Luther.

 

[Luther Blissett]

...reassuring old-fashioned..

*runs Attica through with rapier*

Is that old-fashioned violence *old-fashioned* enough for ya?

 

[butchersapron]

*slaps" Luther Blissett with southern glove/iron bar.

 

[Luther Blissett]

hence 'rejection of systemic violence'.

hobnob and horizontalism, anyone?

pushing boris off his bike.

e2a, is it really systemic violence giving a fright to one of the country's most dangerous buggers (a popular tory is a fucking bad thing), or is it a product of the environment created by the tories and propagated further by nu-labour? surely systemic violence begets social violence and the anarchists involved are really the victims of the system here, forced into expressing their political discontent in the only way left to a disenfranchised group?

 

[In Bloom]

From this month's Resistance

A few comrades were enjoying alfresco drinking in central London when who should bicycle by but shadow Minister for Higher Education Boris Johnson, editor of The Spectator and Conservative MP for Henley. Eager to commend the portly man mountain on his obvious commitment to reducing his (rather heavy) carbon footprint, the comrades gave chase crying 'What ho, old bean!'.

In the confusion of so many chaps trying to shake the portly Tory's hand at once poor Boris was knocked from his bicycle and jostled most rudely! At this point he seemed to think he was being attacked, and before they could remonstrate with the right on, right wing professional adulterer he had beat a hasty retreat screaming 'Fuck off!'.

Its just not cricket.

Whoever was involved (and whatever group they were in) I owe them a round of drinks

 

[Irenick]

Giving chase crying 'What ho, old bean!' doesn’t exactly tie-in with my idea of bashing the rich. Chopping of Boris’ head; and, then shitting in the neck stump. Now, that’s what I call BTR.

 

[The Black Hand]

hence 'rejection of systemic violence'.

hobnob and horizontalism, anyone?

I just don't agree that violence of the oppressed is the same as that of the oppressor...
