    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    The Green Party has entered an omnicause phase. There is now an orthodoxy with clear this side right that side wrong rules. It is typical of what tends to happen when the unthinking left gets to set policy in a party. Every answer is simple, no flexibility is allowed and pragmatism is akin to...

    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    Oh absolutely there was an article I saw on The Guardian site by a columnist making the point that this resolution by the green party essentially tells Jewish people what they think. 1791187822 What this whole thing shows is how Polanski is reaping the populist whirlwind he showed. He wanted the...

    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    I Am not denying grey areas exist. In the case of say Sinn Fein they don't argue that the UK shouldn't exist but rather that it shouldn't still contain Northern Ireland. The difference I guess is that a regime can always be changed again whereas it is a lot more difficult to regain the status of...

    Rhodesia still exists, just under another name. There is a difference between wanting a change of government or system of government and actually saying a UN recognised country shouldn't exist.

    The Green Party of England and Wales now under Zack Polanski

    It is quite extraordinary to have a political party calling for the abolition of another country. You can condemn the actions of the Israeli government, just as you can of the Russian government and the Iranian government but to declare that country has no right to exist definitely goes beyond...

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Be careful he might have eyes on uniting Ireland with the US.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    The numbers might be different but the water companies seem to be managing this. The fact is he knows full well that regardless of the midterm results no money is going to be paid, see the promised DOGE cheques.

    Reform UK discussion

    Except that Lee Anderson, who is Reform Chair, has essentially said they would get his support if they didn't wear balaclavas.

    Reading the thank you post to the membership the one group this womens group representative doesn't appear to mention support for is women.

    Products and services where the new version is not as good or has significant disadvantages as the old

    I remember back in must have been the late 1980s telling someone about carbon tets use in fire extinguishers, he was dumbstruck as he had always assumed it was inflammable. For years after the Montreal protocol we actually had a dispensation as nothing else was suitable for the chemical analysis...

    Products and services where the new version is not as good or has significant disadvantages as the old

    Indeed, I think a lot of degreasing products used to contain carbon tetrachloride, which was not only hazardous to the user but also wasn't doing the ozone layer any good.

    Products and services where the new version is not as good or has significant disadvantages as the old

    Pathclear weed killer. Used to contain paraquat which if course was banned.

    Thoughts on the Trump presidency

    Trump does something momumentally inane. In other news, the pope delivers a speech indicating his belief in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and bears seen doing their business in a wooded area.

    But it isn't about there being a male only club but that he chose to be a member of a male only club.

    Reform UK discussion

    Apparently Reform are saying that Nigel Farage has beaten the Establishment candidate. Now when I was younger Establishment brought up thoughts of bowler hatted senior civil servants or landed gentry in tweed suits, apparently the Establishment is now, checks notes, a man playing a character...
