The Greens are a decent left wing party, with on the whole good policies.

I saw part of an interview with joint leader Jon Bartley yesterday, and he was explaining, the Green Party is a Socialist party, not just a one issue party with a whole range of policies.

My only criticism of the Greens is the name....it conjures up visions of hippy tree huggers etc.

They should change the name IMO...I'll think of a few names, and i might email them.

One thing is for sure, under plank Starmer, Labour is f*cked. What happened yesterday will get worse as the next 18 months pass by.

Who is this ‘Green Party’? Is it the elephant’s graveyard for all the loony left-wingers who still do not understand that anti-semitism beliefs are wrong?

Most 'anti semitism has come from the extreme right, over many years, and nowdays theres a debate over what actually constitutes anti semitism.
Carrying a Palestinian flag in my opinion isnt anti semitic, but there are those who say it is.
Islamophobia is just as great a wrong as anti semitism, but in the hierarchy of racism, its way behind.

It depends what context you carry or display a Palestinian flag. If you do it in front of Jewish people now with a war on it could be deemed offensive and incitement .

No it couldn't.

Palestine is not Hamas.

Polanski's a Lib Dem anyway, only jumped ship after he wasn't selected as a prospective MP.

I wasn't equating anything, the geezer lives off grid in Wales (apparently)

On the WhatsApp group we geolocated him down to within the vicinity of Hay-on-Wye. We sent out one of the mods on a reconnaissance mission, and there's currently a grainy photo circulating of a bloke in his 50s, holding up the bar in the Three Tuns pub, tragically trying to chat up the barmaids. Pretty sure that's him.
