BEN LEWIS (CPGB) AND LAWRENCE PARKER - SELECTED CORRESPONDENCEBEN (PICTURED BELOW) TO LAWRENCE

What muck? What head? My music taste? Thanks for the heads-up though. Any news on the cricket? Give me a call if you get five minutes.x
LAWRENCE TO NICKDear Nick,
sorry not to get back to you all earlier about the HOPI cricket game. The bodies have been dropping from the windows above me at an ever-rapid pace. The blind has to be down at all times of the day. Introspection is a kind of watchword. And I refuse to be organised.I cannot play and this is a warning to all who think of participating. Your LRC opponents are a fraud. LRC stands for Lavender Recoil Cadaver. It is a byword for those ancient sorceries that marked my descent into fraternal gloom. Beware all ye cricketers!I trust this is of help to you.
All best wishes,
Lawrence

LAWRENCE TO BEN
Dear Ben,
Howzat?
Excuse my little jokey. Yes mate. Me and Paul are ready for the game on Saturday as we have had a good few nets. Luckily I've got Middlesex Colts up the road so we've been having a good bash. Neigh. I'm sure we can pummel those LRC RETARDS. Do you mind if I open and Paul bats at 5? We can see how it goes then - if the openers score well then Paul goes in at three. Or four. Boom!
We don't want that cretin Attila the Hun to talk to us at any point during the day. In fact, none of the other Team HOPI lot should approach us. But we're happy to talk to you as an intermediary - we like you. A lot. Also, for the gig in the evening, obviously you'll want the Rotten Elements to perform, as you don't have any other artistic groups who have evinced our immense, cloying pools of sympathy. But what we have planned is a stage-poetic interpretation of Leni R's Triumph of the will from a Marxist perspective, under harsh antiseptic WHITE lights it's enough to make you sick and end it all it is.
One day I will be prime minister. I will be adored as the strong man. All of our mutual enemies will repent their CRIMES or perish in the eternal flame. And it won't end there under clouds of mutual recrimination my battered hulk of body will burn forever all must pay price, cereal kebab monster.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to Saturday.
Best wishes for it all,
Lyndon
FROM THE ROTTEN ELEMENTS TO EVERYONE
Dear comrade,
we are disorganising a football game on Hampstead Heath on Saturday October 32nd (kick-off 3pm) in aid of nothing, son of nothing.
The game will begin in tense hues of blackened teardrops, quickly evaporating to a hellish symphony of half-desire, crap from a diaper, lavender. John McDonnell won't play, being an agent of THEM. But he said yesterday: 'This game conjures up jinni, binary stars, sombrero galaxies, ring nebulae and the well-nigh-Lovecraftian deep strangeness of the almighty Globular Cluster now lurking in the grand and glorious constellation of the Centaur.'
Proceeds from the game go to HOPI; only to be stolen by a ladyboy dolled out as Ronnie Biggs. Don't take the 'A' train, comrades! Yah boom. This incident will be a theatrical recreation of the time when Lawrence Parker stole SLP branch funds for MARIJUANA and CPGB Manchester branch funds for PORNOGRAPHY.
With communist gratings,
Lawrence
Communiqué from The Rotten Elements
Dear friend,
The Poet Duster of the Rotten Elements talks about the death of the 'working class' project in conversation with pervert Cuthbert Mingoulin (death-face, graveyard-tinged freak). Clearly from this point in time, Marxism will be snake style. Say goodbye to the left, comrades, because some of us fuckin' have...
"To that end, there is something healthy, I believe, in the decline of ‘class consciousness’."
We will publish more of the interview in the coming weeks, in between reading about occult strategies in banking and the foliage of the Third Reich.
BEN TO LAWRENCE
Cheers Lawrence. Enjoyed it.
Was also a nice distraction from translating Hitler's letters to Eva - some very dirty shit went down there.
Ben
LAWRENCE TO BEN
Thank you, Ben. More instalments coming soon. I'm being partly serious about the translation. There must be loads of Nazi stuff untranslated - real filth - you could make a lot of money banging this out to neo-Nazis.
