No matter how relentlessly 'The Shekels' Starmer works to represent Britain as a racist religitard scumbag supremacist genocide war crime land thief child murderer famine supporting embarrassment to every notion of humanity, he forgets: it is the people who make a country Great. Scummy self-serving governments will only ever be scummy, self serving, and bringers of derision and shame.

You may recall the threats of a military coup, in the unlikely event that Corbyn were to get too close to No. 10.

The Greens will get the message. Talk all you want about the environment, immigration, and pronouns, pronouns, pronouns, but do NOT touch Israel or The War On Russia.

The Greens were similarly neutered in germany.

This is why the establishment keep on winning. When faced with a setback, an electoral result that they don't like for instance, they do not throw their hands up in the air and say "well, I guess you guys just won, fair and square!".

Instead, they seamlessly shift to Plan B, they paint the opposition as weak or in thrall to shadowy foreign interests, mutter about dark money somewhere, chase conspiracy theories, sidle up to the new government and cut deals whilst undermining their ability to get anything done, call on the Americans, etc..

When, in aggressive and accusatory fashion, the leader of the Green party was asked why his party had published a pamphlet in Urdu, he did not shrink, or die of embarrassment, or deny that they had, or do any of the blustery things politicians from other parties would have. He simply replied 'To communicate with people who speak Urdu'. It is odd that such a small thing should be recognised as a masterstroke, but Zack Polanski has mastered a weapon that exposes establishment politicians for the slime they are. He doesn't bullshit. He says what he believes, despite the likelihood that some members of his audience might not like it. He stands for something. Halleluja. Moreover, he stands for Britons. Not Israel. Not genocide. Not billionaires. And of course all the sleazebags on the gravy train are going to do anything they can to damage him, and the Greens might themselves piss it all away by suddenly becoming obsessed with some fatuous nonsense, but this bold new strategy - caring for the electorate - is, surely, going to make it harder for establishment slime to stick? Surely governments that have embarrassed their people for so long, and the media that has done nothing to check them, will be seen for the self-serving lie spewing irrelevant parasites they have shown themselves to be? China has shown the world how quickly a government that puts its own people first can transform a country. Let us hope that the straight-talking Mr Polanski can remind Britons that a government that cares for them - all of them - might transform Britain too.

Keep in mind that the uk political class has two and only two interlocking goals:

1. Keep the Americans happy

2. Get the Americans to fight Russia for them.

Everything else can be jettisoned. Publishing a pamphlet in Urdu does not affect 1. or 2..

The motto of the US Green Party is "People, Planet and Peace." No war. People's needs first. Save the planet.

Hopefully the Green Party UK also has the same as a motto.

I could not care less about rhetoric. The Greens in germany and elsewhere have similar high-sounding slogans, but they learned that the price of power is slavish support for europe's War On Russia and War For Israel.

Wow - I would just love to be a fly on the wall at the next Labour Friends of Shitrael meeting. Perhaps they will just console themselves with noting that the winning party are lead by a chap who just happens to be Jewish.

Oy vey!

Poor old BBC this morning. Didn't know how to pitch it. Just came over as sour…

The Today programme were promoting the Farage trumpian line that the election was rigged. They were featuring the self proclaimed “independent” election observers “Democracy Volunteers” reports of high amounts of whole family voting. When I dug into this, the reported samples were tiny, and over very short periods, and from their reported methodology, were taken by two teams of two observers. As in other reports, the BBC claimed these observers were “official”.

I would have expected better of the BBC than promoting this poorly evidenced Faragist conspiracy drivel.

I agree with you. The BBC have had an appalling record for promoting Farage and his various privately owned, dubiously financed, limited companies. I am an optimist, always expect better of the BBC, but am almost always disappointed.

Mara Bryan's avatar

I have come to expect nothing but state propaganda from the BBC. It’s nice when they too, are handed their arses.

Can't we just proscribe the Greens as an antisemitic antifa t3rrorist group and put things back to normal?

What a complete and utter, out of touch nob Starmer is. He definitely should've let Andy Burnham run for the Denton and Gorton by election. But as usual, he made a completely wrong judgement call. When are the labour party going to wake up and accept that Starmer, is a complete and utter liability to the labour party.

Fantastic article. Lifted my spirits as did the brilliant victory by Hannah. Good heavens a young female working class plumber entering the halls for the elite entitled careerists beholden to lobbyists and corporate interests? Whatever next, anolishing the monarchy? Or a revolution?

Wonda4's avatar

"Hannah’s fiendish strategy involved standing for a party that has actual policies and a leader who cares about ordinary people. Disturbingly, Hannah comes across as a normal human" - the facts are hilarious 😁

Aww—does Sir Storm Trooper/Kid Starver have a butthurt that a Green Candidate beat his Corporate Clinton NeoLiberal "Labour" Party?

Maybe if Labour wasn't so fucking Hillary Neoliberal, they'd do better!

A mad thought, I admit....

Now, an honest question, how do the Greens stand on the War On Russia?

The election manifesto appears silent, which may or may not be a good thing.

Frank Macskasy's avatar

Russia's war on Ukraine is more concerning.

If you want to understand why Eastern Europe rushed to embrace the EU, try talking to Eastern Europeans. They have little trust or love for Russia.

"Strangely", Eastern Europeans have as much love for Russia as Latin Americans do for "gringo" Americans; Arabs for Israel/West, etc.

Superpowers generally have few fans amongst people they attack or instigate "regime change".

So you want to get dragged into someone else's ethnic beef.

I'm more concerned at Trump enforcing American hegemony in the Middle East through it's nuclear-armed, and US-funded proxy, Israel.

The genocide against Gazan Palestinians could only be facilitated by US-enabling war criminals in Tel Aviv.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine takes us back to the 18th and 19th centuries when the "Great Powers" (mostly France, Spain, and Britain) fought each other for hegemonistic supremacy. This included territorial gains - ie, invading other peoples' lands and adding them to Empire.

So you'll excuse me if I view both Russian and Amerika as different sides of the same Imperial Coin.

Russia and Ukraine were at peace until the American sponsored coups.

I have heard and read a number of interviews that reflect the same feelings. Thank you for communicating this.

And I got happy for a minute there…😕

So the will of the Establishment still has its iron grip.

Lisa's avatar

Me too 🤦🏻‍♀️

Feral Finster's avatar

Of course. Even if, by some miracle the Greens were to walk into No.10 today, they would be quickly brought to heel.

Feral Finster's avatar

Thanks. About what I expected.

I'm pretty sure that they are hard line supporters of gender woo woo too (and have hounded any "gender critical feminists" - also known as feminists - out of the party).

Feral Finster's avatar

Found on internet:

"I do wonder whether the Greens in the UK will escape the fate of their brethren in Europe, who have become part of the establishment themselves, a vaguely wokist, good-thinking, mildly progressive war-supporting home for those temporarily disillusioned with other parties of the Left."

Pretty much nails it.

Nowhere in the West are we voting our way out of this. Hostile alien occupation regimes are never on the ballot. You may have a choice of Jewish-supremacism and trannies everywhere or Jewish-supremacism and banning abortion, but whatever you order will come with a side of Jewish-supremacism larger than the main course.

A Goodwin staffer in Tameside, Adam Mitula's posts online are full of racist caricatures of blacks and Muslims featuring fearmongering and appeals to family values. Other posts include his suggestion that “60-70%” of transgender people were paedophiles, that he would “never touch a Jewish woman”, and use of the n-word. Nevertheless he is accepted as a reasonable choice for tomorrow's Britain.
