This is a piss-take right?
"The special letters "þ" and "ð" neccesary for writing Mercian are not on so-called "United" Kingdom keyboards. Instead we are supposed to "make do" with this "digraph" of TH."
"The London army has many bases occupying Mercia, but the population is so subdued that rebellions almost never occur."
Almost never?
One of the funnier satire sites, I was half-way down the list before I was sure it was madness.
Just wondering which section of the Empire loyalists is pissed off enough by the SSP to be bothered to do this.
Why oh why the SWP and CWI just don't get together I don't know.
I can assure you this is not a 'piss take'. Mercia is an ancient nation that has been oppressed by the English for centuries.
Look out they are behind you.
Tell that to Tommy Sheridan
I'm all for supporting national liberation when there is real ethnically based oppression going on, (however only as stepping stone to further class based liberation). However the people of mercia are no more being oppressed than any other part of england. I mean I support their struggle against the powers that be but I think their energies could be better spent on a longer term goal other than just creating another nation state.
but of course i support self determination for mercia. provided they dont call for a socialist federation of the british isles ;)
The ancient region of Muskerry hereby cedes from the land of Ireland.
We proclaim the City of Ballymakeera as our grand capital. The provisional government is now retiring to Scannell's Bar to draw up a new Constitution for the Republic of Muskerry.
Maggie would you feed the greyhounds and put on the dinner there like a good woman!
Newsflash: The IRSB (Independent Republic of Socialist Beshoffs) has declared the independence of Beshoffs, in a bold stab at the heart of the imperialist occupying forces.
For too long Beshoffites have been oppressed by Westmorlandia, which occupies the whole street on which the oppressed beshoffs lies. The Westmorlandian government is obviously an imperialist tool of the much larger Templebaria, which in an outrageous case of neo-imperialism is forcing it's boozy imperialist lifestyle and excess hordes of American Tourists into frequent invasions of Beshoffs.
Struggle for an independent beshoffs!
Beshoffites of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but the herion addicts washing their needles in your vinegar.
*swoons*
Were the Empire Socialists of Hadden responsible for Indy being off the ether? Another denial of sevice attack by them.
Páidi - will you be claiming sovereignty over Muskerry Estate in Ballincollig as well? Thus does another empire begin...
Of course there is the whole matter of the People's Republic of Cork - would they claim Ballincollig too? And if they did, what position should lefties take?
The Socialist Republic of Beshoffs (SRB) hereby expresses it's solidarity with the struggle of the people of muskerry for independence.
You've just got a chip on your shoulder. Go back to Russia!
Woah, this is way off the radar.
Paidi an Fhile has been elected Saoi of the Republic of Muskerry. His deputy is Maire an Mhaistreas and the Muskerry Dail will sit at the old Irish college in Ballyvourney (Baile Bhuirne).
We declare our fraternal solidarity with the Republic of Beshoffs as long as they desist from straying into our fisheries at Ballingeary and Inchigeelagh.
The Republic of Muskerry retains its traditional borders from the village of Carrigrohane to the Kerry County Bounds. The area around Rathmore and Kilgarvan in the royalist Kingdom of Kerry remains in dispute.
We immediately demand the repatriation of all Muskerry hurlers from the Cork team. They will play in the all Muskerry finals between Ballingeary and Coolea next month. Bets can be placed at the counter in the Mills Inn or the petrol station in Kilnamartyra.
A new Party has been formed with the formal unification of the SP (Ireland) SP (England and Wales) and the International Socialists (Scotland). The Federation of International British Revolutionaries (FIBBERS-CWI) will represent the interests of all workers in the British Isles. The FIBBERS accepted that they had a long way to go in winning the support of all these workers, but with the coming crisis of British capitalism, it was inevitable that new layers of workers and youth would flock to their banner. As evidence of this FIBBERS spokesperson Peter Haddock pointed out that two schoolboys from Portmarnock Commmunity College had taken an anti-war leaflet from FIBBERS yoof rep, John Wayne last week.
Haddockalso took the opportunity to denounce the well known Scottish counter- revolutionary-bourgeois-nationalist-deviationist Tommmy Sheridan 'Its obvious Sheridan has sold out on the working class, thats why so many of them vote for his party. The worst thing is, we thought him and his SSP mates everything they know and what do they go off and do? Yep, build a mass party full of working class people and do really well in elections. Now you'd never find a section of the CWI doing that that sort of thing!'
Apllications to join the new party should be sent to Pater Taffeta, Federation House, London, (Reallly, reallly) Great Britain.
The above is clearly a spoof.
However, I wish to announce that we in the SP have taken stock of the new situation facing us. The objective situation has decisively changed. New class battles impend in the coming period. We are in a period of sharp turns and sudden changes. Conditions are ripening for the most revolutionary period in human history - these will be the red 2000s. Only the SP has correctly analysed these processes. A bold socialist programme is needed.
Thus, we are rebranding ourselves to be at the forefront of these developments. Henceforth we wish to be known as the Society for the Hindrance of International Toryism (for short, read SHIT).
To all you doubters I wish to assure you this is a genuine organisation working for self determination for the people of Mercia. I recently went on a fact finding mission to the area on behalf of the ILP and discovered that this organisation, established recently, has more members than the CWI has in England!(current membership 63)
"Working for the 'Federation' is distinctly unpopular in this area" stated local Coventry representative Mr A. Capp "the people want a workers party not an empire of British cultists!"
We are serious in our claims for independence. I swear comrades, we're not trying to COD you!
And we have no CHIP on our shoulder!
PEAS won't you help us?
we will not have peas in our time.
Reports are reaching Indymedia of a Coup d'Etat in Beshoffs. Rebels who have held the statelet for the last few days were attacked with fish slices after being caught off guard. They were allegedly on the batter all night. Rebels have now reinforced the plaice and are responding with an iron fish.
.....is an imposter claiming to be a supporter of the Beshoffites?
He is in fact a member of the Loyal Order of Ramsden (Fish and Chippers to the Crown and the one true Taaffeta)
He will be battered on sight!!

the 'mercian nationalist party'
from the MNP site: "We have recently discovered another group working towards Mercian independence, the Mercian Socialist Party Whilst it appears they may be godless communists, we are willing to work with them in the struggle.
Have fun and remember, an INDEPENDENT MERCIA or DEATH."
i think the two of them are having a laugh.
