Communiqué #8
Comrades! Momentous news!
It is with heavy hearts that we report Richard's expulsion from the APL/SSPK. He has fallen into the erroneous and objectively reactionary habit of constantly raising questions of (at best) marginal relevance to our insurrectionary project - 'would Dundee cake be classified as a pudding if you poured custard over it?' or 'is lemon cheesecake with no added sugar sufficiently tart to be consumed after the savoury course?' This is the error of Revisionist Pudding-Abstractionism. (The answers are 'yes' and 'no' respectively).
His eccentric personal habits, such as advocacy of insect-based recipes, could have been overlooked. You will recall the tolerance shown to him at last year's Praesidium-Congress, as he tried to persuade us of the merits of woodlouse sauce for pasta - and no, Richard, they tasted nothing like shrimps - but Abstractionism is utterly unacceptable.
As an unfortunate consequence, he has repudiated the loan of £10 from the central finance subcommittee he had last Christmas - money he may have spent on cheesecake!. But this is of little significance. Comrades! Do not be downhearted! There will be minor setbacks, but our eventual triumph is assured!
