Wasn’t it an imprisonable offence for anyone to voice favourable opinions about the French Revolution or be in possession of republican literature at the end of the 19th Century in UK?

Really not surprised. Let’s be honest, any left group that genuinely posed a threat to the current status quo in UK would be infiltrated and destroyed from the inside. Call me paranoid but I wouldn’t join a party these days because there’s a strong chance I’d be the only non-undercover police in the room.

Sorry just adding these. Worth reading (critically, of course, taking account of who is writing) - but they all say similar things:

Craig Murray has written recently about it:

The sums being invested in the drive to war are grotesque. There’s a difference between making sure the UK is properly defended and the £150 billion+ a year the UK is moving to commit to spending on weapons of mass destruction with little enlargement of the actual armed forces. The drumbeat of war causes only hysteria and it’s very hard to discern the difference between fact and fiction.

I’m skeptical about the reality of the “democratic” nature of the organisation. According to reports, the meetings held by Your Party have been pretty much word-of-mouth invite-only rather than open to all supporters. The people running the various organising committees have been selected by the controlling factions of Your Party. The attendees of the founding conference will be chosen by “lottery” rather than elected by local groups and organisations. I understand the need to protect Your Party from infiltration but this isn’t the way.

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.

Definitely. Most of the time communities are friendly and supportive - but I’ve noticed too that there are users who seem deliberately scratchy and saying things that are looking to provoke and who become fizzy if they’re challenged in any way about something they’ve said. I wondered if it’s much younger users who are coming from other places having picked up the “fight me” attititude there.

Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?

It’s a php file you drop into a folder that creates a gallery of the files (including pdfs). There are security settings and visual customisations you can change. If you know what you’re doing you can access the file remotely, too. I’ve used it for a while and found it helpful.

It’s great. I’ve been using it for nearly a year and it just works brilliantly.

Do you think I could get away with some serious financial crime if I just quoted the Psalms and declared I was a repentant sinner? I’d be happy to pray for any of my potential victims if that helps.

Just heard Tice on LBC being questioned about all the lying and he used being a Christian as a defence. Everyone sins, he told Tom Swarbrick.

I struggled to understand his Brexit stance - a bit like Mick Lynch. Something about EU membership preventing future nationalisation.

I’m more interested in his other international views… though I should really just look it up.

Which ones? Genuinely interested.

You’ll forgive me but that’s not evidence of a “crank” (unless “crank” simply refers to anyone who doesn’t share your views). You made the assertion that Murray’s “been many many times more discredited than proven correct”. As I said, I’m happy to have my opinion of Murray changed but you’ve not provided any evidence other than a Wikipedia page which doesn’t seem to show he was “discredited” in the way you think it does. He has some opinions which many people don’t share (Salisbury and Starmer come to mind) but, generally, he appears to me to have stood up for some righteous causes (Assange, Palestine, the influence of oligarchs on Brtitish politicians).

Can you give evidence for your “crank” assertion and that he’s been discredited? I’ve followed Murray over the last 5 or so years and I’ve not noticed misinformation. He’s pretty much on the other side of things than mainstream political opinion but usually what he asserts tends to be the case. But happy to corrected and informed by evidence.

Spank that tank!

Snore. Just woken up?

Pro patria mori, my friend. Pro patria mori. Go in peace.

Family. Country. Flag. King. Sunday dinner. The village green. Fish & Chips. God. Now that’s patriotism. Who wouldn’t want a bloodbath to save all that from the fiendish Enemies of England who eat babies and don’t speak the King’s English and whose leader is insane?
