Zack knows that all manner of people with anti-semitic previous are going to become Green candidates. This is all he can say.

Is being punished for life for your mistakes a progressive position? There’s plenty of anti-racist activists previously involved in fascist groups before repenting. Admittedly signing up to be a councillor for a Farage tribute act Tory Party is an odd route to redemption.

There was an IRA member who became a Tory councillor, I recall. I guess that's a special case because of the peace process.

Generally, I would expect this chap to get a life ban. There's a lot of it, over a long period.

He's not some foot soldier seduced into a far-right group when he was a misguided teenager, he was trying to set up his own explicitly Nazi Party - not the EDL, not even the BNP, actual Hitler-was-right Nazis.
A teacher or a police officer holding such views would face a life-long ban, I have no issue with politicians being treated the same.

Yep.

And his main thing now seems to be posting unpleasant AI images of politicians not in Reform or the Tories. That alone ought to have raised red flags.

Agreed.
Although he does actually have a go at Reform, only this morning I saw one portraying them as Dad's Army, it wasn't complimentary.
Or funny.
