Naked rambling, cycling and mountain-climbing. – fletcherchristian1789
https://fletcherchristian1789.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/naked-rambling-cycling-and-mountain-climbing
June 12, 2015. Naked rambling, cycling and mountain-climbing. One of the most controversial threads on the People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove Facebook page this week centred around the forthcoming Naked Bike Ride. It’s generally-supported for promoting bikes over cars in a fun and daring way, but there were also those (on the thread) who condemned it as vile, disgusting and even perverted. Did they issue a statement of their beliefs in a bid to attract public support? The reaction of the British pres...

“Bahexit”! – Secession mania sweeps city! – fletcherchristian1789
https://fletcherchristian1789.wordpress.com/2015/06/05/bahexit-secession-mania-sweeps-city
June 5, 2015. 8211; Secession mania sweeps city! NOTE: Though this article is spoofery, all quotes given are actual quotes in response to actual questions posed to real people. The interpretations made from them are clearly ludicrous and mine alone. But they are real quotes. So there. As 15,000 people like a Facebook page entitled “The People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove”, folk north and south of the non-existent border have been analysing the implications of a secession. Full, gayful employment, a mi...

..and finally… a message from Simon Kirby…but is it Peace in Our Time, or WAR? – fletcherchristian1789

June 12, 2015. And finally… a message from Simon Kirby…but is it Peace in Our Time, or WAR? Last week I wrote about the possible implications of a “BaHexit” – the possible secession of Brighton and Hove from the UK. Since then, there have been a couple of interesting developments. Firstly, a message from Simon Kirby, MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven (aka “The Blue Zone”). It reads….(drum roll….). It is signed, significantly, Simon Kirby MP. Member of Parliament for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven.

“Ant-Austerity” group hijacks anti-austerity cause – fletcherchristian1789

June 19, 2015. 8220;Ant-Austerity” group hijacks anti-austerity cause. Confusion reigns in the final hours before tomorrow’s national anti-austerity demo in London after a rival group launched plans to march against the austerity measures being imposed upon ants. Activists’ loyalties have been rent asunder after both groups picked the same time and date for their demonstrations. A Facebook page has been set up for the ant demo, which is taking place in Sunderland, potentially dragging tens of thousands o...

July 3, 2015. 8220;I’m Mad as Hell, and I’m Not Gonna Take It Any More! David Cameron’s clever decision to delay a vote on “bombing ISIL” until the Autumn means we’ll have a summer of discussions about intervening in schools, the problems of Islam and the need to do something for those British citizens who lost their lives on the day. Will we seek to track down the perpetrators? Will we ask teachers to look for signs that little Johnny might be a Tory and to report him to the police? The British who died...

Meet the PRoBaHs! – fletcherchristian1789
https://fletcherchristian1789.wordpress.com/2015/05/28/hello-world
May 28, 2015. May 28, 2015. Republicans have been putting faces to names – and what a pleasure it has been! This week, I have met more than 20 “PRoBaHs” that I had never before laid eyes on. 8211; People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove-r – how you say that – as in the sentence “If a politician can’t open a door for you – use a PRoBaH! And then there was yesterday, the unofficial under-launch of the Badge People Agreed On, as I like to call it. I was ably accompanied by someone who should be appointed as ...

Against EO Antisemitism – fletcherchristian1789
https://fletcherchristian1789.wordpress.com/2015/07/01/against-eo-antisemitism
July 1, 2015. As a life-long anti-fascist, I was delighted, as I have been so many times before, to hear that a fascist demonstration has been banned in the the interest of a local community. The Metropolitan Police yesterday banned a little group of Hitler-supporting Nazis from demonstrating in Golders Green. The demo may now move to Whitehall. This is a defeat for the little Hitlers who wanted to bring their unspeakable filth to an area where many Jewish people live. And yet, they still have big Nazi p...

Voyager sets sail – fletcherchristian1789
https://fletcherchristian1789.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/voyager-sets-sail
June 12, 2015. The People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove is today launching its own version of Voyager 2, the spaceship sent out by NASA to boldly go to the final frontier to seek out new civilisations…. It’s a glorified version of a message in a bottle, really. It contains a few bits and bobs to tell anyone that finds it who we are and how to get in touch. We want to tentatively twin with others around the world. The criteria for a tentative twinning arrangement are thus: at least one elected repre...
