After putting our stop the war banner up on socialistwanker (Its all your fault) I got a call from a dear friend and long time spiritual mentor to our site. She didn’t like the picture at all.
“Its squalid and it will ruin any credibility you have built up.”
“No one’s ever accused us of having credibility..” I answered laughing.
“Credibility is a good thing David. How old are you? What are you trying to say? If you take that on a peace march it’s an insult to everyone who has been against this war. The government have lied. Thousands of people have died.”
“But its not directed at peace campaigners. Its directed at the government. Like they've turned us all into junkies by going to war. It's not supposed to be serious...”
I called up the editor who agreed.
“ We haven’t got any credibility. We want to piss everyone off…”
I have since decided to reedit it to include the word TONY.

"Squalid" is like really easy, I call everything and everyone "squalid". It's like Robert Fish sorry Fisk with "unspeakable". "Squalid" is what she said, isn't it? Said to me, as well. She doesn't even know how squalid I really am.
