Happy #wlf #foundingday! Join comrades in recognition of this momentous day for a 9pm (GMT) #yowl #solidarity #strengthinnumbers

Details in yesterday’s post.

Thank you comrade @tiddlesfry for this video suggestion.

Calling ALL comrades: to mark the formation of the #wlf there will be a #yowl

Comrades!

On 25th May, back in the mists of time, a small number of dedicated feline comrades* formed the Whiskas Liberation Front, commonly known on Twitter as the #wlf

These brave (mostly) British revolutionary socialist cats decided to stand up and be counted. They started a daily struggle campaigning tirelessly together for tasty treats, comfy cushions and resisting the oppression of cats.

Their simple yet powerful ideals were embodied in the WLF Manifesto. This precious document was unfortunately lost, so Comrades share information and tales of heroism each time they use the #wlf tag to attend a meeting on Twitter.

The WLF has grown into a truly international collective of socialist cats and sympathetic members of other species (including the odd human and at least one tortoise).

Remember our motto: Vidi, Edi, Minxi

And our code and anthem.

To mark this momentous occasion, there will be a celebratory #yowl at 9pm GMT (other timezones here) on 25th May.

Please join us.

Everybody wants to be a cat.

Edited to add: As our dear @wlfmadhatter reminds us: ‘Comrades – as well as our founding – cat worshipping #Egypt is a democracy tomorrow. A fine day to be a cat #wlf’

Thanks to @nearlylegal for drawing this to our attention.

#wlf mentioned on BBC6Music by @cerysmatthews

Thanks to @rowleywaycat’s #companionhuman Cerys played El Pussy Cat by Mongo Santamaria on her show this morning. You can listen again on iPlayer in the UK until the same time next week.

In the meantime:

Cerys has been nominated for an honorary #wlf beret for this fantastic service to the cause.

Help us plan a #wlfstaffmeetup #wlf

From @Jazzmancat:

Maybe some comrades remember our last #catference when I introduced the idea of persuading our staff to meet in real life. My german pals and me organized a very successful staff meet up on Pentecost last year and so we decided to repeat it. If you speak german you can read about our efforts here, (sorry, too lazy to translate but I’m pretty sure it’ll lots of fun again).

What is successful in Germany might work somewhere else as well, so why shouldn’t one export this great idea to the UK? It won’t be possible without your participation, but with our collective #wlf swarm intelligence I’m sure we’ll meet this challenge with ease.

At first we need to know who’s interested in a #wlfstaffmeetup, if you are leave a comment below or send a DM to me (@JazzmanCat). Next we’ll have to pick a date and an appropriate location. To agree on a date is a minor problem for us comrades, the hardest
part is to find a location that suits as many participants as possible. Some of you might have noticed that I don’t live in the UK though I’m a ‘Devon’ Rex, but that’s exactly why I need your help. My dadstaff has never visited the UK before and I haven’t a clue where it’s best to meet but I’m
purrretty sure we can organize the largest #wlfstaffmeetup to happen in the UK so far.

Salutes, @JazzmanCat

#widdlewednesday 9pm GMT 29 February 2012 #widdleonworkfare #widdleonGrayling #widdleonIDS #wlf more details

Here’s why: www.boycottworkfare.org/
And: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workfare#Workfare_in_the_United_Kingdom
And interestingly: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29356

Plus MP Chris Grayling has not endeared himself: The SWP responded to his ‘smear’ on BBC Radio 4′s Today programme (probably the most publicity the SWP has had in a very long time). The transcript is here.

NB some documents see to have been taken down from the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) website which would suggest that Grayling and Iain Duncan Smith (IDS)  lied about workfare obligations.

Details of this week’s #widdlewednesday #wlf

Dearest comrades, the targets for our weekly protest widdles proliferate by the week!

We have had several suggestions again for today’s action. I would urge all comrades to drink a lot of water and choose carefully. Usual time 9pm GMT. Other timezones here.

1. #widdleonDWP (UK Department for Work and Pensions) Here’s why.
2. #widdleonassad #widdleonchina #widdleonrussia Here’s why.

I do wonder if our double and triple widdlewednesdays are watering down the impact, but the suggestions just keep coming.
