Looking to join anarchist group

[Guineveretoo]

But... but... I was joking. I used the "I'm joking" smiley & everything.

(And there's another one).

It's a different kind of joking to have a dig at someone because of what they do for a living, particularly when it's not relevant or revealed in that thread. These days, it honestly feels like I can't post anywhere on here or about anything without havingn to fear someone having a go at me because of what I do for a living.

And I honestly don't know why being a trade union official makes me an enemy.

I am getting thoroughly hacked off with digs like this. As I keep saying on here, I am not here in a professional capacity, so what I do for a living should be irrelevant to everyone.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Your joke was funnier.

What, because it upset a regular poster on here, rather than being a (poor) attempt at a play on words?

Like "non-parasitic trade union full time official" you mean?

How does being a trade-unionist make you a parasite

 

[Maurice Picarda]

It was a crap joke, !

I laughed.

Cos it made me giggle. Don't get your knickers in a twist!

don't worry about it, it's probably just daft wee boys who've never had a job and read a couple of copies of black flag once.

I am hoping that you or someone you know may be able to assist me. I currently live in Victoria (London) and I am looking for a group to join an anarchist group in my vicinity. Unfortunatly I had to move back to the UK after spending several years abroad

What do you think about the EU?

 

[bluestreak]

Well, this was good PR for the anarchist/left.

 

[untethered]

Anarchists in inability to get their story straight/organise a drinks party in a hostelry shocker.

 

[bluestreak]

Fuck off, shitwit.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Fuck off, shitwit.

Is that the beginning of a hiaku?

 

[bluestreak]

Right wing filth is spoke.
Who can be talking such crap?
Yes, it's untethered.

Yes, it's untethered.

This is fun.

I've done you a manifesto.

We must smash the state
Going to lectures is dull
I am eighteen.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Unadulerated,
It spews up like a tidal wave,
Tethered (un).

(that's like a jazz one btw)

 

[untethered]

Here's another. Any tips gratefully received!

The workers united
Fit effortlessly in
A BT phone box.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

there will always be england.
what has world come to?

I was just about to do one like that!

All rise.

England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales
Ruling over all the waves
God save the Queen.

i / am / eight / een

-----------------

when no-one agrees
you can take it but two ways
you're mad; or they are.

 

[untethered]

i / am / eight / een

you fail at haiku.

Hmm tricky.

I can't decide whether it should be

I am twenty one

or

I am seventeen.

The former is more likely to be accurate, and if you think about it, more damning. I think I'll plump for that.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

to be fair, i couldn't even spell it,

Is that the beginning of a hiaku?

doh!

failed again at bleeding haiku!

 

[untethered]

Where the poetry fails the politics succeeds.

If anyone's interested in knowing more about the unionist case and how to get involved, PM me and I'll get back to you in the morning.

Well, if I've achieved nothing else, I've taught you how to use a basic poetry form that most 12 year olds can do.

We only did English poetry at school. Still, it goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Don't think I'm going to start taking drugs or listening to rap music, however.

 

[bluestreak]

You say that now, but that's how it begins. First you learn to haiku, and then before you know it... it's smoking ecstasy pipes and listening to dog snoopy snoop.

good night urban, i need to sleep. some of us have to work in the morning.

By George I think the clitwit's got it. This was a bit like My Fair Lady. Well done Professor Bluestreak. And Untethered Cocklittle I suppose.

 

[Crispy]

The strict syllable limit is not really of huge importance in Haiku. Besides, the traditional 5,7,5 pattern is for the count of japanese phonetic units, which are quite different from western syllables. Therefore, it is common for haiku in english to have different syllable counts.

Anyway...you're in London, OP? Maybe you should pop into Freedom Press: http://www.freedompress.org.uk/

You might get a sensible answer there.
