Bit more than the top 10%, I reckon, but yeah, this is what they should say. They're not a Green Party any more.

So a potential force for good heads around the u-bend as its leader parrots Corbynite bollocks. :roll:

Since Polanski took over they've been heading downhill. Now they're trying to out-twat Your Party, and it's looking increasingly possible that they will succeed in that.

He's dreadful, but on the evidence of Bluesky this morning, there are lots of people who are massive liars who lap this sort of stuff up.

The opposition to prisons tends not to be too strong in areas where violent criminals live.

What's their plan? Dop all the wee schemies on St Kilda?

Stick all the thugs on a boat to America and tell Trump they're oppressed Christians from the Londonistan caliphate. Worked for Castro.

We could massively cut the prison rate by legalising all crime.

It's the same people moving from Labour, to YourParty, to Greens and leaving an unelectable trail of destruction in their wake.

Jez ran "for PM" promising a lot more cops to bang people up. And quite rightly.

Specific policies change but they dream up new ways to repel the electorate.

I did read what one such group was going to have instead of prisons. Put simply, it was "Get everyone to be nicer."

Reminds me of the days when "defund the police" was a thing. Lots of that was sensible about funding social services more, but there was a side to it that wasn't. One proposal was along the lines of 'gang war? you don't need cops! pay some self-appointed group to persuade the gangs not to fight!"

I remember debating with a police abolitionist once, and in the end, after much back and forth, he said what should replace the police was, wait for it, a citizens' militia.

I once interviewed a very amiable libertarian guy, who'd written something about privatizing the Police. He was to say the least a mixed bag, but he approved strongly of the Human Rights Act, and had respect for libertarian leftists.

And another. What are the chances?
The husband of Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha, who is a Green Party local election candidate in south London, has ranted about “the chosen people” posing the biggest threat to the planet, the JC can reveal.

Mark Adderley, who is standing in Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood, also suggested some drones fired at Gulf states could be Israeli “false flag” attacks and blamed Benjamin Netanyahu for the Hatzola ambulance attack.

In a video titled “true cause of the anti-semitic [sic] ambulance attack,” Adderley attributed responsibility for last month’s attack on Hatzola ambulances in north London to the Israeli prime minister.
He also did the "Jewish ambulance" shit.
Adderley continued: “It strikes me that if most of your top brass in your cabinet are receiving tens of thousands of pounds from lobby groups from a country that’s committed genocide and started an illegal war against Iran…”
British Jews aren't "lobby groups from another country".
