The Green Party and the word ‘female’

[BackToLurk]

Omnicause veteran Eli Folan (who tweets as Stats for Lefties) has been elected to the Green Party’s governing council. Eli, as they tell us twice, is a ‘female’ rep. I don’t know whether this phrasing is the Green’s or is Eli’s special contribution.

Google tells me there's a Scottish food cafe near Angel. Morning rolls are on the menu. I will investigate and report back.

Reported in the Times "Greens elect supporter of Iran to powerful party council"

If they're going to Unesco anything it should be Lorne sausage. They used to sell them in Blackpool. They were called square sausage there. Bloody lovely. Not had one in decades.

I've educated myself a bit. It seems morning rolls can vary depending upon where in Scotland you buy them.

Good to see quotes here from Lesbian Greens, Sex Matters and Shahrar Ali.

Agree that this individual is worthy of and ripe for the most cutting satire. Sacha Baron Cohen, where are you??

As for anyone applauding the Iranian regime - no words for their sheer stupidity and ignorance. Why doesn’t he move there and see how long he lasts before he’s thrown into jail?

I will never vote green again. A disgusting bunch of people now, how did it all go so wrong?

At a global level, the party has long been associated with some very nasty stuff

I think Elliot (ah that's his name. A sort of reverse Ellen page situation) was identifying as Irish for a while because the spelling of Eleanora had the fancy fada accent on it from Gaelic.

Does he not realise that quite a lot of the crescent side of the green rainbow crescent coalition see the Alphabet pronoun people as innately Zionist?

That deranged Palestinian surgeon went off on one about it last year, and it's what split the Gaza flotilla.

It's only a matter of time before he's accused of being a Mossad plant

I used to vote Green but there is no mention of the environment at all. It all seems really toxic. Surely a trans woman (man) calling themselves a lesbian would not last 5 minutes in either Iran or Palestine. The world has gone mad.

Ell does seem to be unable to not appropriate other people's stuff, whether that be Muslim phrases, womanhood, or even 'I welcome their hatred", which was lifted from a Franklin Roosevelt speech.

And he really, really either doesn't see how daft and offensive it is to do so, or enjoys trolling.

This person is an absolute loon. How on earth has not only the Green party but British politics come to this? He shouldn't be anywhere near a ballot box of any kind.

The article sensibly deals separately with the antisemitic and transgender issues.

The comment from the GP at the end sounds rather threatening to those who don’t agree with Folan:

Asked if it endorsed Folan’s comments, the Green Party said: “Green Party council members are elected to a local region under a single transferable vote system. The Green Party has processes in place to look into views expressed by members which may not align with Green Party values.”

I thought the opposite!

But apparently the GP is swamped and overwhelmed with internal complaints.

Unsurprising- bad faith complaints have been used as a way to attack and suppress for years.

You would think but Iran has one of the highest rates of gender reassignment surgery globally. It's a way of controlling homosexulality which is illegal in their warped world and punishable by death. Trans is accepted if the individual undergoes state surgery. But yes you are right someone like El wouldn't last 5 minutes in Iran unless he chopped his genitals off and had a relationship with a man.

Absolute nutter.

Inflammatory language with huge anger and unwarranted entitlement, and no sense of humour. Toxic waste of space. "Female" my arse.

Ah, but Ellie is a trans lesbian.

I wonder if he might bunk up with the Aberdeen polycule

That's illegal and criminalised in Iran. Lesbian relationships are illegal and two men legally recognised as women who were in a sexual relationship with each other would be treated as if they were lesbians.

Aren't they all 🥱

Green Party spends over £1m on legal costs in a year

(I'm sure there was a thread about these legal costs, maybe a month ago but cant find it - so added it here as sort of linked!)

Elliionrarrara is now claiming there's a smear campaign against him and he never said anything anti Jewish

Nice clear manifesto.

What has that got to do with the people of East Anglia 'she' wants to represents & the females 'she' wants to represent. How does 'she' feel about representing a group that includes actual females that live their lives as actual females & want to protect their rights.

It’s now impossible to ignore the climate crisis yet the UK GREEN Party is spiralling away into an inward looking obsession with their own identities and with anything and everything else not connected with the CLIMATE. If only this were TV satire 🤪

C'mon, be fair, Polanski has just hosted a podcast with Magic Grandpa, we should all be reassured the alt left have all the answers. Easy answers are best, that's why they're easy.

Who’s Magic Grandpa? [Daren’t google]
