aaron porter is an enormous fucking asshole
Hey you know, they’re right. Just watched a repeat of the BBC London News tonight (I made a cameo appearance standing outside my office and talking about, um, blogs and “social media” and such in relation to the occupation for about 15 seconds and hadn’t seen it till now.) But yeah, what the students say is just so: Aaron Porter is an enormous fucking asshole.
There are lots of secondary goals at play here. One of them might be preventing that dipshit from attaining the cabinet position he so clearly desires.
Occupation brilliant today, more brilliant everyday. Going to order them an Xmas tree in the hopes that, you know, they’re there to unwrap presents. I’ll be with them if they do. Bought them dinner (er, food) at Sainsburys but should have stayed around to eat it. Best money I’ve ever spent. Off to Xbridge for a talk to the occupation tomorrow. My my my my days are suddenly busy and… good.
UPDATE: Ooops forgot to say that this is the ultimate reason why I – and they – am / are fucked off with him. I’ll be up there tomorrow providing not legal advice, as I can’t, but whatever advice I can.
ANOTHER UPDATE: By the way, I tell you this stuff about what I’m doing not to “up” myself (actually couldn’t care less at the moment) but to encourage you to do the same at the place where you work… Trust me, you’ll feel better about your life if you do.
YET ANOTHER: Here’s the video that provoked that post. Starts at 4:10. The utter cowardice comes when he talks about breaking the route etc. Students did what they did because the police broke their promise to allow a peaceful demonstration. Peaceful protest is now effectively illegal in Britain. He is a coward, and I’ll do whatever I can to keep him out of that cabinet position that he’s clearly (wet) dreaming about.
Thank you. Couldn’t agree more.
