MA in ACTIVISM at LEEDS UNIVERSITY

Well once you’ve got your BA in PEACE STUDIES from Bradford university you can move seemlessly on to your MA in ‘ACTIVISM’ at Leeds – they even chuck in a trip to Chiapas if you’re lucky – then seamlessly on again to your PHD in Anarchist Studies at Loughborough University….(I am as ever indebted to the Bristol Blogger for the last bit)

Paul Chatterton sports the chic activist look

    Good lad Paul Chatterton – I have met him.

    I have also heard that 2 well known stalwarts of the North Eastern Federation of Autonomous Class War have also lectured on that course previously.

    I’m hearing you loud and clear Ian-a movement of PHD anarchists-what a fucking disgrace.I wonder what sort of empathy Mr Garcia Baron would feel with such a lot.?..I do know one thing for certain;Mr Paul Chatterton and Dan Chatterton have nothing in common other than their fucking names.And, is it just me,or is the previous dividing line between anarchist and student SWerP getting a shade more grey like here?….Since the collapse of Soviet Syle leftism in the Eighties,the anarchists have been given their greatest opportunity in years to deliver THEIR alternative,instead of having to argue the toss with the 47 varieties of leftie shite for the ‘revolutionary correct’ interpretation of the 1917 revolution,to an answer seeking working class.And if anyone out there is stupid enough to think that the working class aren’t interested in politics,the rise of the BNP in working class areas is living proof that they are on the prowl for a solution-and to all those lemmings that persist in proclaiming that the BNP’s support is middle class,I issue this challenge;waltz through the Harold Hill Estate in East london,proclaiming such idiocy,and see if you make it out the other side.Anarchists have an open slather on the whole idea of a revolution to change everything for the benefit of the ‘powerless and downtrodden’.And instead of taking up the challenge,have stapled themselves to the shirt tail of the left, as it descends into the abyss.And this fuckin toss Paul Chatterton exemplifies everything we SHOULDN’T be!Am I the only person who see’s it this way or what?

  8. East Ham Dave – your mighty leader Ian Bone has an article in this magazine with Chatterton;

    ‘Prolier than thou’ posturing is not class struggle by the way. Not that I mind a bit of prolier than thou posturing sometimes, but Paul Chatterton is certainly better than the inneffectual SWP left who are more deserving of your bile.
