The Scottish Greens are revolting

At least, the Rainbow Greens are!

There's a petition for the Greens to leave Government, if anyone finds it please post the link or how to find it!

Great, now I want an Arbroath Smokie, which at 11pm in deepest darkest peru isn't going to be happening!

Peru-ah! That explains those funny fags you smoke.

😁

Reduxx now has a great article, though grim, with a summary of Sparkles background.

What form will the guidance take? "Delete all the problematic content on your social media and don't post any more"?

Two problems.

Firstly, people will have receipts.

Secondly, which content?
The polycule/BDSM stuff? Sparkles will go off on one about "kink shaming" and all sexualities being valid.
Or the insults/threats aimed at anyone who disagrees with Sparkles? Again, off on one about being "cancelled" and "silenced". Obviously Sparkles agrees with cancelling and silencing, but only for the correct people, not people like Sparkles.

Sparkles is Operation Let Them Speak in its purest form.

Even if Sparkles tones down comments for a short period he will return to form in a short while. Imagine running a general election campaign with Sparkles on your side. Remember Sparkles in on track to being defeated by a sane Tory woman Harriet Cross by over 10,000 votes.

That is going to drive him crazy.

Note I believe that due to the structure of the Greens they have few options between just talking to Sparkles and booting him out. That is why they had to expel the 14 biology knowers from the party. The Greens internal structures were designed round free speech and democracy. Other parties have stronger means for controlling crazies or dissidents.

How long did Melissa Poulton of the fetish content and jokes about paedophilia last?

Poulton announced candidacy 1st December 2023, and had gone by around the 12th.

Ooh, are we doing one of those lettuce-versus-whoever contests?

(Lettuces are green, of course.)

Gosh, Euan Weddell is even more unpleasant than I'd realised. I think the Greens have lost their collective mind, why on Earth do they think that people will want to vote for such an unpleasant, unhinged bully like that?

Well done Reduxx.

Sophie Molloy has posted 'fuck terfs' and even written a song about 'treading on terfs'.

Be good to hear the Greens explain this. Or do they support men writing songs about violently attacking women?

I think that's the only rational explanation, as they haven't sanctioned they for it.

That has massive 'terfs are trash' vibes. That turned out so well for them, didn't it.

Here's Sophie's partner Herbert claiming that Kellie Jay Keen, women's rights campaigner, 'deserves' a pie in the face.

These are deeply misogynist men advocating violence against women and obsessed with fetish.

Gosh, men singing about kerb stomping women who disagree with them. Genuinely horrible.

Welcome to the right side of history!

I laugh now whenever some short of critical thinking poster repeats the tired and laughable ‘look who else believes that sex cannot be changed- the far right!’ Yeah? Well, fuck! Look at the horrific shit the very people that you, if you are telling people that males can be women, are saying every single fucking day in the public sphere. And that doesn’t even include the heavily invested spokespeople that do not identify as trans. That doesn’t even scratch the surface either of the published works of the movement that prioritise gender.

That entire guilt by association is beyond ridiculous by now.

Only two things to add.

1. sea creature of choice, hammerhead shark to knock some sense in. The Greens may have some inflatable ones in stock
2. If Sophie is in a polycule, is his partner not a polyculi?

Longevity prediction?
Gone afore the next full moon, Thursday 23rd May.

As a word geek, I cannot help seeing the word 'polycule' as a mash up of Greek 'poly-' = many and Latin 'culus' = arse.

Many arses. Hmmm.

Sophie Molly appears to still be a Green candidate as of 6pm today.

I think by Tuesday 28th 5 pm. This weekend will see a gnashing of teeth incident and because of the bank holiday it will all happen later.

Well, I'll go for Monday 27th by 5pm, then. I think the weekend is likely to bring a lot of escalation.

Oh, and can't spell, nor use apostrophes correctly. (That's the least of the problems of course, but I am proud to be a pedant.)

If we are betting then I'm going for 3.47 pm on Sunday 26th May, give or take 10 minutes.

The 'tred' instead of tread annoyed me as well!
