AIBU to hope the greens do very well today?

That’s it really. go Zack! 💚

There are many Green party members who have made hugely antisemitic posts on social media. The comments made are vile.

He says The Sun approached him and asked if he would do it for an article, he said he'd give it a try. He knew others that told him it could work. He said he thought he could use the article to get some press about how he'd rather people use hypnotherapy for body confidence, which he did. And he says he no longer believes hypnotherapy could increase breast size. Honestly yes I believe this version of events, mostly because I think the whole thing is a pretty minor incident.

I don't always believe politicians rather than media no, however at the moment the media is completely attacking him so I don't trust them to tell the truth about anything to do with Polanski at the moment. Some of the interviews I've seen recently are absolutely shocking and they should be ashamed to even claim to be journalists.

I think areas of the country will resemble places like Kensington in the USA where people are openly taking hard drugs in public, children wont be able to play in parks, im sure there will be drug paraphernalia laying around, no doubt discarded needles and pipes. It will be a dystopia and a hell you cant even imagine, as an ex drug user I see the only way to win the war on drugs is to be incredibly hard-line on dealers and users im afraid, its to soft, they need punishing not appeasing

Does that extend to acknowledging that antisemitism is rife and that Israel has a right to exist?

Open borders. Legalisation of drugs. Rampant anti semitism..
A batshit leader who hypnotises womens titicacas bigger.
Yeah whats not to like?

Do you think that we can comfortably accommodate up to 5 million immigrants per year indefinitely, given the current dire pressures on our public services and benefits system with an existing unemployment figures of approx 5 million?

What do you think our max population should be? There are about 900 million people who will probably want to come here.

Yeah loads of 💚 where I am.

So you don't agree with all the research that shows rehabilitation is more effective than punitive action?

No, of course not, but you’re being deliberately misleading. Where did your figure of ‘5 million immigrants per year indefinitely’ come from?

Also, I was saying why I liked some of the Greens’ policies, Obviously, you don’t like that policy. That’s okay.

A relative has been involved with the greens for many years. She is a lovely lovely person but certifiably bonkers. I would not want her with any sort of power! So that affects my views on them!

Yes just like most racists claim they have black friends.

Oh, he no longer believes it… That’s OK then…

And as I said it would depend if you are keen to see Hamas brought to book rather than just using it to slate Israel whether it is racist or not.
As you didn’t mention Hamas I guess that answers the question.

Indeed we need a change, but it can't be done by the UK alone. In fact it would be economic suicide for the UK to unilaterally change.

If we take net zero. The UK achieving net zero does precisely 1% over fuck all in effecting the environment. In the meantime we have the most expensive energy bills in Europe, whilst sitting on huge oil reserves. So ordinary Brits are struggling to heat their homes when Saudi Arabia is still selling oil and China is building coal fired power stations.

Not for me. Very worrying.

I don't see why not? You've never changed your mind on something?

He’s off his tits.
Did you see what I did there.

What do you propose we do with the oil reserves when our refineries do not process that kind of oil? The Greens would rather aim for energy independence with green energy, sounds like a better idea to me.

Leaked documents from the Green Party apparently.

How many do you think it might be?

You specifically named those policies, I am intrigued as to why.

Charming as always.

You know what's going to create an awful lot more refugees? The climate crisis. And the war in Iran.

But I’ve never been a con-woman.

So you’re telling me he honestly thought hypnotherapy could increase a woman's breast size? That’s up there with David Lammy believing men can grow a cervix.

Could you link to them please? That’s the first I’ve heard of those documents.

I like the Grees’ pro-immigration and pro-refugee policies because I think we - like other peaceful countries- have a moral duty to help refugees and our economy also depends on immigration (and I think a diverse society with immigrants is also a healthy one).

Dear God I hope it never gets to that and agree it needs punishing not appeasing.
