What do we know about Zoe Garbett (Hackney’s new Green mayor) in the context of gender identity politics? I assume she must be full on TWAW or the Greens would have ex-communicated her/Walter Titty wouldn’t be seen with her, but is this correct?

Just no, no , no . Slightly less bonkers than the Scottish Greens but that isn't saying much.

@IwantToRetire The Hackney Council wards where the vast majority of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community live are consistently Conservative. See here (Springfield and Stamford Hill West):

I live in Hackney. Have friends who voted Green this time who have no idea how mental the Greens are on sex and gender identity

They wanted to purchase Springfield Park for their own exclusive use iirc. But the borough wouldn't play ball. They aren't twaw that's for sure. Though it's hard to see the issue ever impinging upon them. The children attend their own schools. Lubavitch? My Hasidic neighbours in Upper Clapton were probably Conservative minded but seemed rather uninterested in national politics.

Sorry to add another post but I meant to ask this last night.

Can someone with good eye sight look at the picture in this article https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-903988

In the left hand picture what does the square sign at the top right hand side say?

I thought at first that it said "Christian Law".

Zoomed in and it says:" Cllr Dylan Law/ Hackney Council/ Transaction 4 Housing Justice"
There are also 2 very small words that I can't read.

Google tells me that Dylan Law is Statutory Deputy Mayor of Hackney Cabinet Member for Safer Homes and Housing Services Cllr for Hackney Downs.

I see that a couple of the people with the big white banner have got TRA flags. The one with pink hair probably identify as trans.

The omnicause strikes again.

Thanks for taking the time to make it out.

I wonder if some photo library sent the Jerusalem Post some random demo outside Hackney Town Hall or that was linked to the vote about Haifa.

But yes, omnicause is as plausible as Green logic!

It was probably the one where trans rights activists stabbed an effigy of Andy Burnham in the eyes.

Left-wing councils have launched a co-ordinated effort to defy rules on single-sex spaces, with some refusing to make staff run services on the basis of biological sex.

Labour, Green and Liberal Democrat authorities said they would resist implementing the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) code, which came into force on Wednesday, as women pushed legal action to force public bodies to comply with the law.

The leaders of six London boroughs — Lambeth, Hackney, Haringey, Lewisham, Southwark and Waltham Forest — made a joint commitment to keep their services “inclusive” and warned the rules “will feel like an attack” on transgender and non-binary residents.

In a joint letter, they said: “Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary identities are fundamentally valid.” They described the code as “harmful to the rights of trans people” and said: “We won’t put our staff in the impossible position of policing entry to public spaces.”

I found it bizarre that Hackney proudly displayed an Irish Traveller flag over the town hall, but has trouble flying the English flag! That added with their insane choice to stop the twinning of Hackney with a diverse town in Israel and giving them a deadline of the 7th October! WTF has Hackney become! I lived there for 25 years and this woman is so out of touch about the actual community! It’s always been a diverse and flourishing place, where different communities lived safely side by side! She doesn’t realise her extreme left way of thinking could ruin it all!

"We will defend and protect the rights of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities and continue to campaign for full legal rights and equal access to services for trans people, particularly in the wake of the 2025 Supreme Court ruling."

Zoe seems to be unaware that trans people already have the same legal rights and equal access to services as everyone else.

That’s brilliant! Campaign for something that already exists, then you can take the credit when your dim-witted followers find out they have these rights!
If I ever stand for political office, I’ll promise to make arson illegal, ban the police from shooting carol singers and give pedestrians the right to cross the road at pedestrian crossings. I’ll be onto a winner.

They're like the Monster Raving Loony Party, but with zero SOH and even less practicality. I would genuinely trust Howling Laud Hope to run the country more rationally than them.
How about talking about the environment...y'know, the clue is written on the front of the tin, the <Greens>.

Quite a slap in the face for women to know the Greens will campaign for just about anybody but women.

I didn't realise there was an Irish Traveller flag. More research needed but I strongly suspect most Travellers are unaware of this too. Like other posters I think it would make more sense for the Greens to pay more attention the environment and other more pressing issues.
