There’s a way we talk and it includes profanity. We never figured we’d be arrested for it.

The lovely lads and lasses from Keston Cobblers’ Club join their chums for dressing up games in a (hopefully) Workfare-free charity shop. Jolly well done those folkies!

Some parts of it were politically correct and therefore not right. My main stance is anything that is politically correct is probably wrong. These parts concerned racism and human rights, the human rights that are allowing criminals in this country to avoid deportation.
More good sense from the non-racist party that is UKIP. Councillor Richard Geoffrey Fairman gives an eminently sensible explanation for his party colleagues’ refusal to sign up for Lincolnshire County Council’s anti-racism pledge

The day has passed for patching up the capitalist system; it must go. And in the work of abolishing it the Catholic and the Protestant, the Catholic and the Jew, the Catholic and the Freethinker, the Catholic and the Buddhist, the Catholic and the Mahometan will co-operate together, knowing no rivalry but the rivalry of endeavour toward an end beneficial to all. For, as we have said elsewhere, socialism is neither Protestant nor Catholic, Christian nor Freethinker, Buddhist, Mahometan, nor Jew; it is only Human. We of the socialist working class realise that as we suffer together we must work together that we may enjoy together. We reject the firebrand of capitalist warfare and offer you the olive leaf of brotherhood and justice to and for all.
