A maggot in worm’s clothing
On a post at Socialist Unity in praise of George Galloway, SteveH, who attempts to comment here, had this to say:-
Galloway, as usual, has been the most eloquent voice on this subject. I tried to make this point over at Shiraz and they banned my comments. What utter sectarians!
I commented:-
I am reluctant to introduce the words “Israel” or “Palestine” in a thread that’s about something else, but in fact SteveH is banned from Shiraz because he kept on about some “machine” that was stopping any criticism of Israeli actions. He defined this “machine” thus:-
“A network of people who are ready to respond on behalf of Israel when any criticism is thrown its way. This site, commenters such as Modernity are part of this I would say, though they are at the outer reaches of this machine. There is a need to create a counter machine by anti Zionists, this is increasingly happening.”
To which someone said:-
“What machine? What are you talking about? Do you not even faintly glimmer the thing that this sentiment echoes?”
You can read the exchange to see how SteveH made us very sick at Shiraz. He may have slipped through once or twice since then, but as far as I know he is supposed to be banned. This blog is absolutely welcome to the slimy, hinting little fantasist.

My comment was removed. I repeated the comment minus the last abusive sentence.
DELETED now marks the spot.

This comes as no surprise to me. Socialist UnityMitford has a somewhat Stalinist approach to ‘off-message’ comments, particularly if the Dear Leader (GG) is criticised.
SteveH is also another Strasserite wanker of the lowest order. He’ll fit in well with all the other pseudo-leftists who flock to Cardinal Newman’s site.

im sorry…i wonder why i was even sent this item,i find it incomprehensible.in order to understand it seems il have to trawl through a lot of back material on this and other websites…that sound like its yet more sectarian,dogmatic destructive and probably abusive….the title of the last shiraz posting…some about pretencious,psuedo academic seems very apposite,
it reminds me of a song title….”dont waste my time”

Sackcloth etc:
“SteveH is also another Strasserite wanker of the lowest order. He’ll fit in well with all the other pseudo-leftists who flock to Cardinal Newman’s site.”
You are surrounded by Nazis posing as socialists, aren’t you, Sackcloth?
Scary old world you live in, Sackcloth. Perhaps you should doubt your dreams.

Er, no, in my world I am surrounded by people I like and care for, but every now and then I go online to encounter red-brown scum like the SWP, and prize wankers like yourself.
Recognise the difference? Or do your lips move when you type?

My comment on that SU piece of Galloway-grovelling disappeared and is not even marked with the word DELETED: so it’s in the blogging equivalent of an unmarked grave. Mind you, I’m permanently banned from there for reasons too convoluted to go into here (though Nooman is on record telling downright lies about it). I am also proud to be banned by Lennie “Seymour”‘s Tomb. Interesting, isn’t it that when supporters of those blogs are occassionally banned from ‘Shiraz’ (and there’s only two or three who are, and as Rosie says, even then they occasionally slip though the net), they bleat like bloody hell about “censorship.”

“not a line of text to mark where he’d spoken,
not a trace that he’d once been there”
Thomas Hardy could have written the poem. I suppose the epitaph DELETED is one up from your pauper’s burial, Jim.

lets see how long my comment lasts on the latest socialist unity galloway thread: http://www.socialistunity.com/?p=8321#comment-386122
__________
for galloway to accuse anyone of chutzpah – well that tops the chutzpah league. He is the ’socialist’ after all who is happy to take money from the mail, mirror group, talksport and worse of all press tv.
I look forward to Galloway returning his fees when the inevitable apologies come from the mail and the mirror.

So is that
actually engaging with the argument
or
being abusive and then complain that everyone hates you?
Completely unserious, dishonest and ingenuous question.

Still present yesterday, my comment on SU has now gone without so much as another “deleted”.

shittynickkers always and everywhere strikes the characteristic pose and prose of much contemporary hostility to Israel and the Zionist cause/Zionism — when challenged on his or other idiots’ utterences and squeaks and the antisemitic aspects of them are pointed out, his modus operandi is (i) outright denial, (ii) to downplay, and even (iii) justify them by employing antisemitic polemics/tropes himself (which are claimed to be anti-Zionist). And so on and – eveen if not a swp memeber is by default – (and not even a very successful one at that), a very very dishonest interlocutor. Waste of time engaging with him — best ignored or ridiculed one or both — depending on your mood at the time.
Bonus:
who said this on the telly in an interview? No cheating mind (hint – a best mate of Gameboy…
“I was re-elected despite all the efforts made by the British government, the Zionist movement and the newspapers and news media, which are controlled by Zionism”
