How the left should resolve their problems
After much serious thought on the subject I have come up with the answer to all the squabbles on the left.
I considered serious political theoretical and strategic discussion but decided to cut to the chase, yep all the old bitter battles as to who did what in 1981 or more recent spats with the SWP could be settled by a cage fight.
Apparently :
The fighting style itself is a physically gruelling mixture of wrestling and martial arts where almost anything goes. Only biting, clawing, gouging, and low blows to the genitals are forbidden. Unlike commercial wrestling leagues, there are no dummy punches or special clickers in the shoes to make it sound like a blow has been landed.
Like boxing, a winner defeats their opponent either by knocking them out or on judges’ point-scoring. Pinning down one’s adversary also works.
No more arguing the toss over who has the correct line and quoting obscure Marxist theory, no more rehashing old feuds , just a good old fashioned fight.
So, who would you like to see in a cage fighting ?

Well Tony McNulty vs. Fedor Emelianenko should solve one of the left’s problems right off the bat.
Oh, give me Blears. PLEASE give me Blears! I have fab upper body strength…
Now, now, Jennie…
Didn’t they ban dwarf wrestling?
Personally I’d up for George Galloway vs Chuck Liddell.
I’ll have you know that I am officially half an inch too tall to be a dwarf! And anyway, your comment is heightist!
GAH! I need that edit comments facility! *curses tiny fingers *
Sorted…
You’re a gentleman and a scholar
‘Only biting, clawing, gouging, and low blows to the genitals are forbidden.’
Drag.
*eyeroll* Really, what is the point of the SWP? As far as I can tell, their main function is putting people off socialism.
