Jeremy Corbyn starring in: The Thing from Outer Party



It came from outer space (or possibly Edinburgh). Its purpose? To take over the Labour Party. The parasitic organism had the terrifying ability to destroy and replicate any member of the Labour Movement recreating them cell by cell. This organism was named "Tony Blair".

It began changing the Labour Party MP by MP, cell by cell, policy by policy until there was nothing left of the Labour Party. The first victim of Tony Blair was Gordon Brown who shared an office with Blair; his human form suffered a horrific death. Brown's muffled cries were stifled by Blair's shape-shifting fleshy tentacle suckers that served to allow the Blair to absorb him entirely using his likeness to help him take over the party. It was not long before the party was re-branded "New Labour". This was a symbol of the victory of the Blair Thing showing it had reached its goal in creating a party filled with bland indistinct organisms only capable of following orders from the hive mind or "Think Tank" as it was known. To survive the Thing had to destroy all opposition to "electability" and "credibility" as any notions of nationalisation or trade union rights were seen as an attack on every parasitic cell of "New Labour" and as dangerous reminders of the human populated "Old Labour".

For years it seemed that the organism was unstoppable operating in safety as it absorbed any new Labour members or anyone who voiced dissent but it did not count on one man. Jeremy Corbyn stayed in hiding in Islington safe from the Blair Thing that built its strength in a sealed Westminster bubble that maintained the perfect climate for Blairite organisms. He returned to Westminster prepared to take on the beast holding a flame-thrower. He burnt and fought his way through the Labour bureaucracy hearing the shrieking screams of the neo-liberal organisms as their cells were destroyed with a sizzling hiss. He fought bravely but the party was more infected than he fought, he would have to destroy every cell of the Blair Thing. He marched though the burning halls of The House of Commons over the cooked giblets of former Blair controlled MPs towards the epicentre of the organism. He looked upon it in shock. It was New Labour in corporeal form. 

Tony Blair was trying desperately to create more cells and more forms in a final bid to save himself. What emerged from him was the grotesque spectacle of a Labour leader - a Labour leader - creating new MPs from his infinitely mailable gooey body. The new creations Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall and Yevette Cooper were too weak to be a real threat to the flame-thrower wielding Jeremy Corbyn. They were not shallow replications of former Labour MPs but a new baseless set of creatures that drained all of Blair's strength to create. This was a last show of power but also a show of decrepitude and vulnerability. 

The morphing Blair monster was utterly horrific, while Corbyn was in a position of power he had to strike or else the creatures would scurry around and absorb him. Corbyn hesitated for a moment, his finger shaking on the trigger as he saw something almost pathetic in the malformed beast he saw before him. Would he falter and give the Thing an opportunity to destroy him and the last hope of the Labour Party or would he blast the monster to Hell before it could regroup?

Is a new Global economic crisis on the way? How did it happen?

 The gradual slowing of the Chinese economy has now hit a potentially catastrophic pace. The last apparently stable bastion of capitalism has now followed the west into the post 2008 financial world. How has this happened? Could this crisis have been avoided? Radical Splurge investigates.

 The capitalist economy has always been immensely complicated and can often be too abstract a concept to grasp due to phenomena such as fictitious capital. In order to explain an economy which moves so quickly that most ownership of stocks lasts a mere 22 seconds before being sold again at the will of computer calculations, Radical Splurge contacted the respected economist Merl Banks. His explanation was as follows.

Merl Banks the economist pictured

"The economy is like the great dragon. The dragon is everything. You anger the dragon or harm one part of it and you harm the whole. We have angered the dragon, he was displeased by our offerings. We no longer have true readers of the economy, true saviours who can tame the dragon and use it for good or evil. You must place your head on the ground and hear the hum, the spinning chaos of the economy and clutch at its essence, its being. Your soul must be one with the economy, we must return to the old ways before the days of men.

Only one such man could take this status in recent years and his powers have waned like the waxing moon. He knew it was the economy stupid! Like me he could feel it pulsing, always gnawing away, its maddening screams of pain when FTSE was injured it coursed through his mind and nerves like a lightening striking a crab. Your mortal world is over, I must leave mankind to its own fate, I have done all I can."

 Merl Banks does have a point but he does seem to be rather alarmist. The economic crash is quite simple, the QRT rates fell after an in-fluctuation in global PIF prices made a large increase. This was in part due to Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms but in another part due to the market value shares after the PQE declared the IDW only had a two star rating and further more, ThE DragoOn has awAKeN.

We are but dust to him. He is everything, I can feel my him in my bones and his terrible screams shatter my very soul. The economy is injured and angered, we must fear him. The world of men is done, all is lost now. The mighty dragon is unleashed.
