Where is Brixton's politics?

[quimcunx]

People leafleting for the Lambeth SOS Campaign have also mentioned a tendency people in Brixton to ‘walk-on-by’. They weren’t leafleting outside the tube station; they chose the Town Hall.

I reiterate; where is Brixton’s politics?

The simple answer, I suppose, is that many people in Brixton have no politics. So be it. Learn to live with it; I have.

I think you possibly have too high expectations of how many people of any random segment of society that are walking through a busy area trying to get where they need to be are going to stop and listen to you, or even take a leaflet.

I work for a charity. We send out appeals to our supporters - these are people who care, are informed, and have opted-in to support us and receive our mailings. The response is about 1% for some appeals. It's just how it is.

Trying to get people's attention on the street is a hard job, like working in telephone sales, you get a lot more rejections than 'sales'. I think you've taken it all a bit too personally and decided to blame the whole population of brixton rather than just get over it.

 

[Irenick]

Thats not my experience. Brixton, and south london in general, is one of the more politically charged parts of London. There are meetings about this or that pretty much every night of the week, lots of political discussions in pubs and lots of online/offline community groups.

I'm not sure that response to leafleting is much of a measure of peoples engagement these days. People get their politics elsewhere and have come to lean to ignore leaflets / lefleters due to the sheer number of people sticking bits of paper in your face across town.

Thanks for your analysis.

 

[Irenick]

This is true.

No doubt Irenick will ignore your reasonable analysis and carry on insisting that people in Brixton aren't political, because they didn't 'engage' with him.

What was that, cuntoid?

 

[Irenick]

Carry on like this & I'm sure you'll find plenty of people in Brixton willing to 'engage' with you, but not in the manner you have in mind.

Fucking prat.

Is that a threat; you sad cunt? If you really want to offer me violence; just come out with it. Don't hide behind "...plenty of people in Brixton willing to engage..." when, you actually mean that you'd like to engage with me viloently - you sad piece of fucking shit.

Pie 1 doesn't live anywhere near Brixton, so stop trying to put words in his mouth.

Who are you; his fucking mother? The cunt opened his mouth; and, this came out:

How do I know where the cuntard lives? I interpreted his words as a threat; a threat by a cowardly cunt that can only muster up courage in a virtual setting. Tell the cunt; if he can't take the heat...

Telling you what some third party is likely to do, doesn't count as a threat.

Oh the Irony! (Ireni)

Definite troll... definitely a returning poster.

 

[Pie 1]

I'm sorry but this is sooooooooooo a wind up. 100%

Come on - who'd reckon it is

 

[netbob]

What was that, cuntoid?

(I think I have a new favorite word)

 

[Pie 1]

Just been skimming through some of this delightful posters previous posts.

He actually called Paulie Tandoori a potty mouth in one

The brief scan also concludes that Irenick's top 5 favourite swear words are:
1. cuntold
2. fucktard
3. cuntard
4. Err...that's it. Genius eh?

Returning poster? Well, yes. Every time I log in and post; by definition I return. However, if you're asserting I used to post here under another name. You arrogant fucking quarter-wit.

 

[Blagsta]

No wonder the left is fucked. Activists holding ordinary people in contempt. Nice.

You truly sad piece of fucknothingness. Tell me you didn’t go trawling through my posts? Eww, I feel as though you’ve rifled, with bony hands and snot encrusted fingers through my previous; a great dribbling snot, bungee-like hanging by a will-it-drop-or-not thread from your sniffing snout.

Well, we’ve established what you do in your spare time Pie. What about in real life? Collect dog turds, to sun-kiss on your balcony? Ransack the communal dustbin chambers? Am I getting warm?

Left activists? Now you are taking the piss.

 

[Blagsta]

what a thoroughly nasty piece of work you are

 

[Irenick]

Possibly.

what a wanker

However, you are without doubt a hypocritical fucking cunt; so, don't dish it out if you are not willing to accept a return of insults, Blagster.

 

[Blagsta]

Hmmm, who dished it out in the first place? Let me think...


welcome to my ignore list

I'm going to save that as one of the best flames I've ever had here.
In fact, I think I'll update my tagline too.

even when urban is beset on all sides by absolute fucking cuntsocks, there's always someone willing to take it even further.

Irenick, you shitstained sack of dog puke, please go place your head under the wheel of the 159 bus, there's a good lad.

 

[chymaera]

I’m quite saddened; were this Camden Town, I’d expect this kind of indifference – 25-years ago, a different story. But Brixton; I really thought Brixton was more politically and socially sussed – seems as though I was wrong.

I doubt Brixton is any different to the rest of Britain. A very high percentage of disabalist bastards within the population.
About the only place I never come across any disablist nonsence is at motorcycle rallies.

 

[Blagsta]

Yeah, that's right. Irenick's lack of social skills and general contempt for everyone who lives in Brixton equals the people of Brixton being prejudiced against disabled people.

Disablist? What has this thread to do with disablism? This thread concerns the lack of political connectivity I experienced in Brixton. The issue could have been the war in Iraq, civil liberties being eroded, 'No' to Trident; and, I fancy the same engagement would have been found.

Yeah, but because you're being such a mardy abusive git, no-one's listening any more. Can you see the problem here?

 

[Pie 1]

Fuck of you cuntoid!

So you keep saying...

 

[Blagsta]

A more pertinent question might be "Where's Irenick's politics?"

always wanted to do this:
