Pomposity

Daniel Davies lays down this Euston Manifesto post by Pootergeek as his  hand in their game of 'Pompous Post Poker'. I liked this bit:

And when I went up to college and saw totalitarian iconography decorating the rooms of professed progressives I realised further that any so-called socialist, from the working to the upper classes, could identify with evil if it was fashionable enough. They would do so even as they denied such a thing existed in the world. They still do.

I think he means some of his fellow students had Che Guevara posters on their walls, ooh ah! 
 
I'm not  recommending the post as a read but the comments by 'Cian' are a pretty good summation of the EM and all that's wrong with it and are well worth a look.
