Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I’m delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

  • 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.

    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.






  • For me it’s a conspiracy theory (and most likely untrue) - but it’s quite an interesting one rather than “stupid”. Raises ideas about authenticity and what people are doing when they go to look at artifacts in museums. There HAVE been paintings, for instance, hung in galleries for years that have turned out to be forgeries but - for a long time people were happy staring at the “art”. Also, ones that have been restored beyond a point where they are pretty much not the original piece. How much would it alter things if the Marbles were all replaced with exact replicas at the British Museum?
