The flashmob element is in the participation. We are inviting people to film themselves or be filmed saying the Hansard words that Newsnight are being sued for reporting. So its not just placards and chanting its got a 'social media' aspect. Sly and Reggie are usually pretty brief, we do a driveby dub, round the block a few times then off. Maybe this time we will park up and give it a five minute blast. The other reason for using the term flashmob is in order to steer the proceedings into the peaceful and lawful end of the protesting lollypop. Trafigura,call off your dogs and tell it how it is.

You've hit the nail on the head..it is righteous. Listen to this righteous track

In a moment of madness Monica has asked Sly and Reggie to contribute to this year's East Dulwich Christmas and we are working on a dub style south London Christmas song this week. So keep a place open in your top 5 for a bit of Sly and Reggie.

I do realize that 'for real' poses philosophical questions but the forum is infamous for its parody within a parody tricky double think jokers that I just needed a little help in, as quids says, keeping up. So...is she for real?

Jah Lush..if you really want to know..we inherited this riddim Morris Minor http://www.thesuburbanpirate.com/carter_three.jpg from Jamaica http://www.thesuburbanpirate.com/sound_system%20on%20morris.jpg

Having read Louisa's comments on the forthcoming Christmas Parade I just wanted to check if we are being cleverly satirized or...otherwise.

Well we dont have Tracy Emin but we will have the new improved Middle Class Sound System,the Morris Minor, our new flag and a load of people with cameras. http://www.thesuburbanpirate.com/TRAFIGURA_medium.jpg

yes..people dont spontaneously flashmob..duh!

Sly and Reggie are going up west on Thursday, fancy joining us? Trafigura are still trying to gag Newsnight so there's a flashmob happenin' outside their offices. For more info try clicking on this one

Sly and Reggie not famous enough for you eh? Sly and Reggie and Save The South London Line

have a good break..dont take a mobile or a laptop with you..unplug yourself..shake loose

first someone likes me then another person defends me..this softy middle class male english southerner is starting to feel all warm and special..keep it coming guys.

i just love being liked

I do agree, it was just the post about separating a racist comment from a 'nationalist' comment that I was really talking about. It all boils down to the same thing if its nasty and meant to offend. Its basically all name calling. If we want to dismiss a person we use any term to belittle them and reduce the fact that they may be free thinking individuals. Calling me a white English middle class male southerner is the truth but can also be used against me ....if you want to!

It is possible to be racist when describing nationality..it just takes practice. If enough people agree that a word caused offense then that word can be used is an offensive way. Surely calling someone a Paddy is the same as Paki. 'Paddy' is from Ireland while 'paki' has brown skin but the intended nastiness is the same. Separating these terms seems a bit pointless.

H..you are right that Afghanistan needs a new strategy. but so does the west. In the words of Malalai Jaya 'freedom cannot be exported'

H...Its the west that needs a new strategy not Afghanistan.

what moos said..yes

Huge not... here are my cards. We never ever were going to 'win' against the Taliban. Going to Afghanistan was about breaking up (punishing) bin laden training camps which has happened. In the end in Iraq the USA realised it was smarter to employ the enemy than fight them.. hence a bit more peace. We used to work with the Taliban when it suited us..why not again? This will have to happen one day to get a bit more peace. Rememeber when Libya was the enemy? Paisley said 'never never never' then changed his mind...in the end. In the end you have to work with your enemy but only after enough have died. I think enough have died..hence call off the troops. ps Bush and Blair have furthered bin laden's cause more than bin laden could ever have dreamed of. First rule of combat..use your opponent's strength against itself.

result!! How refreshing. If Carlsberg made forum posts.....
