Labour Party Toffs

19.05.2008 11:14

How dare anyone in the Labour Party point the finger at anyone else and talk about Toffs and money. The only people who seem to have benefited from Labour's years in power are the super rich and the Blairs and his Cabinet who have all had and continue to do so even when they leave office of having their snouts firmly in the trough.

It is completely laughable to even pretend that the Labour party is a party of the working classes. The working classes have suffered more under Blair than under Thatcher. I would like to see Ian Bone and Class War take on the decadent money grabing carreerist scum in the Labour Party as well as the Tory party.

Same story was in the Mail on Sunday

19.05.2008 11:51


Strangely, the Mail on Sunday printed exactly the same story on Sunday 18 - the date Ian Bone put it up on his website. Both use the same pictures.

The Mail on Sunday would have to have written the story before Ian Bone put his version online, because it would have gone to press on Saturday.

There can only be two conclusions I can see to this, both of which paint class warrior Ian Bone in a weird light.

Either:

1) Ian Bone's reading the Mail on Sunday and ripping it off.

2) The pics with the Mail on Sunday's story - which they credited to Getty images - were the ones Bone says were "exclusive" to him, Which means Bone's selling pics to Getty which are being used to accompany pro-Tory articles in the Daily Mail.

Both are weird and uncharacteristic. Hope there's another explanation.

Ian bone; 2 absolute certainties

1) he would never collaborate with anyone he'd ID'ed as an MoS partner
2) he wouldn't scream 'EXCLUSIVE!' if he knew this wasn't the case.
i'd say he was just mistaken, and there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.
I CAN'T believe either of those 2 other explanations

OK, alternative explanation

Agree entirely, DaanSaaf - I think it's weird and uncharacteristic too.

After a bit of pondering, I can think of a third possible explanation:

3) A third party with a camera and sympathies to Class War was visiting Crewe or is based there. They tipped off Ian Bone and gave him the pics, but decided it was worth making some cash on the side so also gave them to Getty or another news agency. That agency in turn sold them to the Mail on Sunday.

But there's a hole in that theory as the Mail on Sunday were already on to the story - they had quotes from Alex Norris which they'd have got by sending one of their reporters or a freelancer to loiter outside the Labour HQ, which they would have to have done at least a day before Bone ran the story on his site. Curious.

(I'm being even more cynical about story sources than normal this week - a posting about deaths in Palestine, which began with a rant about how the incidents hadn't been covered by the mainstream media, was 99% copied and pasted from an article in The Independent two years ago with a fake dateline attached. Thanks to the indy mods for hiding it.)

I was wondering when the torys parties oak tree blag is gonna start working against them. I mean I did curse them for iraq..the labour party I mean, but that doesn't mean i want the torycameron nazis to win as such - lets all innvoke some old school tree spirit magic to sort the insane nazi fukers out somehow. i know the medicene is for real, but it can be elusive also and many seek to break, and disrupy consciosuness to make this magic unmaterialise...oh sorry anyway i intrude into materialistic semi commy indymedia mental health ward.

..times passing, times passing, soon you'll all be under the sea...so there is a god after all. my god sometimes i loath you cocky little cunts - almost as much if not more than the regular mainstream headcases...veganic robots, autoleftist clones, 'we'...WHO THE FUK IS WE EGOSIER.

Magic is real, community wide magic is real....you stupid sunt.

Blessed be.

I did.

I submitted the above comments to Ian Bone's website underneath the article. But he did not upload them or respond to them. Which is also weird, given that if someone pointed to evidence suggesting I was a Daily Mail plaguiarist I'd challenge them and try to explain what really happened.

1) he hasn't had time
2) knows he ain't that: knows that all who know him know that the very idea is absurd
3) feels incensed at the idea he has any need to defend himself.
c'mon, the idea of IB, of all people, taking the DM's shilling is about as feasible as finding Ian duncan smith outside tesco's shouting "SOCialist workah! SOCialist workah!" and flogging papers

Cheers, DaanSaaf

Agree with your IDS analogy. It's exactly because it's so downright weird and unlikely that I've been challenging it. If it's come about that the Mail on Sunday are ripping him off, or using him as a source, that's equally funny given how much they must hate him.

2) and 3) don't make sense in the face of the evidence. But I'd accept excuse 1)

Norville - just realised my last post read as a tad abusive. not getting at you at all mate, and you were right to put that on Ian's site, and I can see why you'd challenge those comments and not want to be smeared as a DM-Plagiarist.

I guess the only point I was trying to make is; some would respond in kind, some would take a water-off-duck's-back line and think it not worth taking time to refute, all depending on the individual.
