This is in no way intended to be replaced by this. That is a space for fragments, the flagrantly unfinished, frippery of various kinds, links, polemics, pretty pictures, complaints about one's health and things with similar lack of rigour, so as not to spoil the ideological purity here.

The title, incidentally, is taken from Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons'
The boy looked at Johnny
. These, apparently, were the words with which scottish marxist James Maxton (once hagiographied by one Gordon Brown) greeted Ramsay Macdonald's resignation speech.
