The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

This descriptive quote from @acitrano.bsky.social says it all.
"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face."

So easy to spot many pro Palestinian terrorists, no balaclavas, no St George’s flags wrapped around them, not attacking the Police, not throwing petrol bombs..

They have control of almost everything.
Almost all your money goes to them, nearly 70% of people are employed by them.
They don't pay tax, they don't maintain the essential industries that they control, they get 12% richer every year.
You cannot just ignore them.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

Where “putting in measures to stop” Farage’s showboating media dominance amounts to the media just doing their job - ie refusing to amplify the torrent of hate-fuelled bollox that pours out of him, exposing his populist splutterings for the nonsense they invariably are and focusing on other parties.
