Why does Tommy and other right-wing goons all have Turkey Teeth? Do you need Turkey Teeth to join their club - bearing in mind lots of Tommy's followers seem to have missing teeth?
Teeth and proto-fascists.

That politicians on the left are quick to announce that they will use the bourgeois courts on each other is pretty dispiriting.
My (irrational) feeling about this is that there's more going on than just what we're seeing. And I'm pretty sure some of it involves state intelligence operatives.
One of the big issues is that some of those involved in the discussions wouldn't call themselves socialists in any way and are aligned through support for Gaza. I guess Corbyn is trying to win them over and there are those looking at the rise of the far right and starting to realise they need to get a move on.
Yes, even the concessionary membership was £2.50 a month. If Your Party wants support from the poorest then they need to make it voluntary as you say. Even the old Labour Party charged on £1 for unemployed members.
Thanks. I have already looked at this and tried out some of the links. I couldn't see a solution - but I'll take another look. Thank you.
I'm not so sure. It was a pretty reactionary period in Britain with harsh laws that prevented assemblies of more than 50 people, anti-union activities and a serious curtailment of freedoms that were put into law (The Treasonable Practices Act (1795), The Combinations Acts (1795-1800) and the suspension of Habeas Corpus (1798-1801). Anyone considered radical was rounded up and threatened - sometimes physically. Even poor old William Blake was arrested.
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:

Shame that the mainstream broadcasters and press continue to mislead by refusing to call these far-right protests (and refuse to define what far-right is just to mislead a little more). Maybe white supremicist neo-nazi is a better term.
Councilors often go on about being busy but what do they actually DO? I live in an area where councillors can earn £17k a year. I have yet to see a councillor in real life or see anything happen in our local area as a direct response of the councillor's actions. Our councillor doesn't even live here (in the countryside outside of our town.
From what I understand, they sit through a lot of meetings where council officials tell them what they are doing. The more meetings they sit through, the more cash they earn.
