The middle class war campaigners are on the march

The middle Englanders surely know how to upset us working class folk with their ever so subtle ways of making us feel worthless.

I went to an anti-war against Iraq film show tonight at the Cassa, the sacked Liverpool dockers club in the Liverpool City Centre. The film was very good. There were about 200 people there. The venue was organised by the "Stop the War Campaign". A guy from the Socialist Labour Party M H, who has a massive business and lives in a big house in the prosperous suburbs, was there with his wife. Of course M being a superdupa organiser and fundraiser is now highly respected by the Socialist Alliance and the SWP crowd. As usual he was going out of his way to be noticed. He even spoke briefly to the crowd asking for money and he never introduced himself as a Socialist Labour Party (SLP) member. There was also other members of the SLP there keeping a low profile. M kept out of my way, as M always does when middle class SWP socialists are knocking about, heaven forbid that he be seen talking to a poor working class scumbag like me, it may harm his credibility amongst the middle class nerds from the Socialist Alliance and SWP. The SWP members also gave me a wide berth.

It would seem that local issues have now been demoted to the bottom of the ladder. The middle class anti war activists are now on the march and fuck local issues. I agree with what they are doing, but I find it very hard to get on with them. I wonder if the SWP and the other middle class nerds will be at Scargill's meeting at the end of this month in the Liverpool Gladstone Hotel? Christ it is really hard trying to get on with these middle class brainwashed socialists. It's also hard to understand why other working class comrades refuse to except that these people even exist. If you want to upset a middle class socialist just mention the word utopia and they recoil in horror, must be because they have been brainwashed from childhood up to think that the word utopia is an swear word.

I tried to have a conversation with an SWP guy who was selling one of their papers, but it soon became apparent to me that the middle class nerd was not interested in a word I was saying. After a couple of minutes he tried to discreetly bring the conversation to an abrupt end by literally thrusting one of his papers at me. In the end I told him to f… off back to his middle class suburbia. One of his middle class comrades who was walking down the corridor to the auditorium, a rather fat from good living ugly women, heard me and immediately, as the middle classes always do when one of their own is verbally under attack by a working class activist, jumped to his defence. I said why don't you report me to the police after all I am working class and you people look at the likes of me as scum. What amazed me was his reaction, he honestly did not know what he had done wrong, he didn't for one minute understand that by ignoring me he had made me feel worthless and not worth listening to. I'm sorry but these ever so prim teetotaller vegetarians really know how to make us working class socialists feel like shit.
