To think this is utterly disgusting?!?

That last sentence sounds so sad.

We should always believe rape victims whether Sudanese, Jewish or whatever.

It's a new low in a cynical world to not believe the rape victims on 7/10/23.

Why did you put the B last? I know we (bisexual people) are often overlooked, but come on! Makes me rage (and they don't care about the LGBT people who don't agree with them either!)
(You can say arsehole here too.)

Meanwhile, to that idiot woman denying the horrific violence of the 7th of October attacks. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! (Yes I am shouting.) What else is she going to deny happened that day? I just cannot with these people anymore. I can't think about the loss of life that happened that day and the subsequent loss of life in Gaza without feeling utter despair. I'm very much in the pro human life, anti murder and war camp.

I don't care.

Every political party has its fair share of idiots; idiots who occasionally tweet something stupid or offensive.

Overall, I still think the Greens are the best choice. Best for the environment, best for the economy, best for society.

Their poll ratings are skyrocketing, and they just won Denton and Gorton, so clearly lots of other people agree with me.

Yes, I double checked, because it was from the Daily Mail.
You can see her tweet. The source is clear.
Her anti female stance is demonstrably clear.
I hope that she's not going to pronounce on the girls and women of Sudan, and the systematic rape going on.
Perhaps their word isn't enough.

Weirdly, they assume that all Israelis are white.
There are Arab Israelis, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin... however, that doesn't suit their narrative.

She tweeted these things and they were reported in other sources too.

It makes me question Greens as an electoral choice if they would employ someone with those views and not sack her when she made them. The Green Party are not denying she made them by the way.

This is not surprising in the slightest. We have got to the point in the western world that no black or brown person can ever be held to account for their actions. white people are continually told they are racist, have unconscious bias and white privilege. No criticism of a black or brown person is allowed no matter what. You say Michael Jackson wasn't the worlds best singer, your racist, call Meghan out on her lies, you are racist.
Racist is a word used to beat white people and to allow anyone who is not white to act as they please and demand the world do their bidding.
white liberals made this situation.

I never believe anything I read in the Daily Fail. It's mostly right-wing garbage.

If Abi Wilkinson DID say that, then that's appalling. But it doesn't undermine the Greens as an electoral choice imo - particularly given how awful the alternatives are.

I was replying to a user who decided to go around throwing blanket statements, I wasn’t “doing that”.

That’s awful it’s like saying concentration camps weren’t that bad, people lost weight

What's not to like?
I'm guessing you've read this thread?

Hmm. Let me see... perhaps it's because:

1. Reform are far-right racist assh*les.
2. the Tories spent the last 14 years destroying the country.
3. Labour started with a lot of promise ( I used to vote Labour ) but have since been a disaster.
4. The Lib Dems have zero momentum.

I like the Greens ( and will vote for them ) because they want to protect the environment, redistribute wealth from billionaires to public services, and are pro LGTB.

Really, what's not to like?

Reform are also happy to destroy the environment, (Labour are not much better) and are dismissive of the harm that gender ideology causes to women, even in prisons.

You used to be able to rely on the Green Party to prioritise the environment, but these days they are more interested in promoting Hamas and transgenderism.

Of course.

I think some of them just don't care.

There are no kudos points to be had in standing up for abused women.

That’s absolutely shocking. She should be in trouble for false reporting. I don’t usually say this but she could have ruined an innocent man’s life.

Excellent points, @DabOfPistachio .
I remember seeing an interview with Obama when he criticised people for "calling out".
He said some people wave placards, repeat slogans and post on social media without information, context, nuance or reflection.
They think they're in the right because they've "called it out".
They must be a good person.

What really surprises me about the trans issue is those promoting trans rights clearly did not think of the rights of women who have been sexually assaulted. These people and their right to privacy were disregarded. The thought that AGP men exist is also disregarded. Says a lot about the sheltered lives of so many ‘Good’ middle class people.

Maggie Chapman telling Tom Swarbrick on live radio that she doesn’t know her sex because she hasn’t had her chromosomes checked.

These people have power over our lives. It’s appalling. They celebrated putting the income tax up too. Currently in Scotland the 40% rate is 42% and starts from £43k not £50k as in England. Therefore if you earned between £100k - £125k you were paying a marginal rate of 62% income tax (64% if you include NICs), but the Greens decided we needed to add an extra 3% to that for those earning from £75k - £125k. Which begs the question:

a) did they not think 64% was enough already, or
b) are they so stupid they don’t understand marginal rates at all and genuinely thought that those on £100k-£125k were paying a marginal rate of 42% (+2% NICs) not 64% (now 67%!)?

I predict b) as these are achingly stupid people.

Thank you
