More on those Albanian Goatherders


Interrogation between CPB(M-L) leader and rank and file member
Here we see a typical confrontation between a leading member of the CPB(M-L), on the right, with her leader in hand, and a party member who has dared to question the will of the leadership.
I am convinced this organisation is from another planet!
The question in my mind, amd as I am sure that Micky will be reading this, is where do we know one another from? Also, the book about comrade Reg is something that I bought and actually read from cover to cover. It is actually interesting believe it or not. I don't want to offend my Maoist relatives here. I woke up the other morning to face a piccy of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao. I am sad that comrade Micky was so nasty about Ted Grant though.

I gather that Micky H and I are acquainted with one another... I did get rid of all the anoraks and jackets by the way and kept the archive file of Labour News dear editor...

Hey, Mike, long time no see. How you doing? Remember the Lambertistas, eh? You still wearing that godawful jacket?

Thanks for the mention on your blog, though.

I'm not sure that the political fable as sci-fi/fantasy works that well - shouldn't you be posting that at 'hangbitch' instead?

Hope to see you again after all these years at the lobby on Wednesday.

Micky mate...where do we know each other from?

Mike

Micky H said...

So you are still wearing it!

I'm not going to give the whole game away, but let's just say that in the mid- to late-eighties I was in the same room with you about three or four times. Not especially big gatherings, either. In fact, on one occasion there were less than 10 of us.

Conway Hall as well at least twice, but bigger numbers then.

Of course, I had more hair then - but didn't we all?

Wish I could say more, but that's as much I'm prepared to give.

Check your archives, mate.

Mikeybear said...

So micky,do you remember jane Doolan from the Walthamstow labour party in the late 1980's?

Mikey

Mikeybear said...

hi there Will...

Micky H said...

Oooh, getting warm, Mikey.

Keep trying.

Micky H said...

So I see you deleted your membership of Worker's Action from your profile. Have you left them?

Micky H said...

Sorry, Mikey, I don't usually go back and re-read a posting as I don't expect people to change their content retrospectively (unless to correct something, and then it's usually courtesy to flag it up). Otherwise it's a bit like rewriting history.

I imagine your support/membership of the WA had to come off the profile to protect your Labour Party membership credentials?

And many thanks for keeping me profile up, though.

Mikeybear said...

Micky

thats the last time I do anything to help you then!

Micky H said...

Come on, Mikey, what about your deleting the WA mention?

Mikeybear said...

Micky

own up and tell me who you are...your real identity nd I'll own up...

Micky H said...

Sorry, Mikey, no can do. Got to keep you guessing.

But what's your take on Marsha (AKA Marsha Jane) Thompson finally owning up to being a crim, forging signatures on election registration documents?

Mikeybear said...

Well Micky, which member of the Labour News Editorial board are you?

geoff Collier, Martin Cloake, Bob Tennant, Moz Greenshields--you could of course be a woman!-Will Podmore...Jean-Pierre Barrois even?

I certainly don't think you are in the security services.

I actually think there some half-way decent articles in "Workers" sometimes as well!

I just don't understand the venom you reserve for some people.

Mikey

Micky H said...

Simply can't think why you believe I might be Jean-Pierre!

I don't do this for everyone, but I'll give you a one-time shot at guessing who I am.

If you get it right, I promise to own up. Can't say fairer than that, can I?

Aw...

Micky, Michael,

Let others join in

Pleeze...

Mikeybear said...

Micky

That just isn't fair. But here goes: male or female?

Mike

Micky H said...

Correct.

"I'm not sure that the political fable as sci-fi/fantasy works that well..."

Perhaps your friend here is a time traveller Chairperson Mikey - his blogger profile says that he has been on blogger since October 2006 but his blog purports to have started on 6 September and to have archives from September. Sloppy. Very sloppy.

If we can't trust him (or her) (or them) about that then why should we believe anything else he/she/they say?

Maybe "micky h" is just stringing you along because you have engaged with he/she/it?

Now we know the blog is a work of fiction perhaps we had better leave this poor sad individual (or even sadder group of individuals) to their ranting?

Micky H said...

Hey, Sherlock Anonymous - have you not heard about blog transfer (or whatver the technical term is!). Get with the project, for Fox sake.

I think thsat you are one and the same!

Mikeybear said...

what was that about starving and the publicity of oxygen?

Mikey

Mikeybear said...

So Micky...are you an AGH?
Nothing wrong with being in the CPBML, its just that they think they`can forge a guerilla led revolution, Albanian style, through the trade unions...do they not?
And yet you reserve your venom for the so-called trots! what about the mooists, or should that be maoists?

Mikey

Micky H said...

As I've said on my blog - guesses as to my affiliation(s) always welcome and invariably amusing.
Go on, have a guess at a name. If you are right, I'll come clean.

Anonymous said...

here we see students how, in the final phases of trotphobia, the subject, already delusional and prone to anonymous abuse gradually loses all touch with reality

I fear palliative care is now all we can do for poor "micky"

such a sad end to what was once a promising career

Micky H said...

Aw, come on Mikey. Have a go.

(At least I haven't called you a cynic like Jon has.)

Anonymous said...

..and what career was that then?

Mikeybear said...

Hi there Micky

where do you get your inside info? The pictures etc?

Mike

Micky H said...

I'd have thought it was easily worked out. Let's just say there's a fair few dissatisfied lefties out there.

Micky H said...

Mikey, Surely that's not you commenting on the Marxism Today archive at Harry's and bunging a Gary Younge text-bloc in on another item?

Mikeybear said...

Micky...I shall one crack at who you are...were you ever in the same group as me?

Micky H said...

No, I'm not going to answer that. Gives too much away. Let's throw Acre Lane into the mix now, though. Sporting chance and all that.

So it it is you at Harry's Place, then. Thought I recognised the unparagraphed text!

'The publicity of oxygen' - didn't spot that first time: nice inversion of the cliche.

I don't think Jon's campaign of ignoring me is having that much impact, do you? The blog hits are ratcheting up very nicely. Such a shame he's been forced into stooping to anonymous comments, though. No choice I imagine now he's got comment moderation on his own blog.

Hey Mikey, why do you think I'm being warned off The Vicar? Even a theory would be good. SP heavies? SP disaffected trying to suggest security service involvement? Joker? SWPer (etc. etc. etc.) trying to damage his rep? The Vicar trying to get some coverage for himself?

Mikeybear said...

Micky

I am still struck dumb...I do not have aclue who you are. I was in Lambeth from 1987-1998.
But you already know that.
Tell me what else do you know?
As for th stuff about Harry's Place, it IS NOT me.

Finally if you keep heaping abuse on people, which you haven't on me(yet) it is not surprising that they respond with no responses.

I don't mind how many times people look at this as it means nowt. I can look at 100 times a day and it doesn 't measure anything.

Also anonymous comments mean nothing...they could all be you or me, or the six other "I's" in your team.

Mikey

Micky H said...

Hey Mikey,

Please don't get upset!

But please do use paragraphing - it gets painful. If Roland can be bothered, surely you can, too? Think of your reader.

Anyway - 10 days to my 50th. I would send an invite, but, well, there it is.

"You know, you're alright now I've got to know you better. We won't always agree, of course."

Mikeybear said...

Micky

I am not a cross bear.

I am just wondering where we know each other from...

...Stargate Atlantis is on

Mike

Micky H said...

...or maybe fighting the band that heeds you. (I don't imagine anyone else is reading this so I'll skip an explanation.)

Your invite to the Islington branch knees-up was kind but it was also unlikely I would have been taken to kindly.

Mikey, mate, your blog - I don't quite get it. You do pics of cats etc. a diary of your trip to the US, that sci-fi/fantasy thing which seems to have petered out now - most of this I can almost like 'dig', man.

But what's with the hugely dull and unreadable documents (please don't tell me you actually type these in) about which you appear to have nothing to say. Are you the Workers' Action official curator (if they still exist as a 'current' any more - maybe that's why you deleted it from your profile?)

Tell us what you think about them at least or it all gets very, very boring. I mean, I take it you have some criticism of the content as an independent thinking chap?

Here's another clue - I have some vague recollection of you mentioning having grown up in King's Lynn? Something like that anyway.

Anyway, must dash or "people will say we're in love", though my sources say you are, to quote, "an unproblematic Trot" (which is verging on praise) and I won't lose any sleep over it.

Do email me again privately but only if you really really need to.

Mikeybear said...

Ha Micky, you must know my old mate Dave Revill?
Whatever happened to him?
He was in the maudseley hospital last time that I heard about him...

Micky H said...

Hey, new look blog! Not sure yet about it.

Shouldn't you have been our revolutionising on a Saturday night?

Why do you think Jon isn't pressing Socialist Unity Network to correct the voting they give for him in the blurb afore his article for them?

Mikeybear said...

So do you? Go revolutionising on a saturday?
My other half is having a baby so I can't go out clubbing any more--not that I ever did that much.
You seen Moz lateley?


Mikey

Micky H said...

No, not for ages - revolutionising or Moz. Too busy with this malarkey! Fun, though.
