- Comment on UK ministers explore raising price of water for industrial users amid shortages 1 hour ago:
Making industry pay more for water to encourage them to stop on site leaks is actually good and deals with the problem far better than increasing charges for individual consumers. If they did that and also nationalised water I think people would be 100% on board beside absolute wonks.

They weren’t quite as organised as Militant but there was a clear semi-coordinated push by ex-corbynists on social media in particular to join the Greens in the shambles of Your Party’s first bambi-like steps before it hemorrhaged its brains after falling.
I’d say this was definitely entryist in attitude, to take an existing party and flood it with new activists that would attempt to strong arm the party’s democratic structures to their own ends. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it per-se but I think entryism describes what was happening.

And the anti-semitism was what? Her support for Iran against the genocidal US and Israel?
You really should have to qualify smears like this without just vague posting about it. Let others see what you think was anti-semitic and let them judge for themselves.
- Comment on Ed Miliband rejects chief rabbi’s claim that West Bank sanctions put UK Jews at risk 1 day ago:
Chief Rabbi makes a false equivalence between all British Jews and a policy against Israel, isn’t that anti-semitic? That’s what they keep telling us!

Eleanora is amongst many others who flooded into the Green party after the fall out of Your Party hoping to move it to a more explicitly socialist position.
- Comment on 1 day ago:
For a little context that may be useful, Unison, the trade union, got into a legal dispute over one of their women officer roles having a trans woman stand for it. She didn’t even win but some transphobic weirdo raised a dispute because her votes could have gone to someone else and maybe potentially caused someone else to win. The complainant won after a lot of fighting Unison, and Unison have had to have a re-think about how the women’s officer works in light of the new transphobic laws.
The greens probably panicked and didn’t want a legal battle. The entryists have hit their first major roadblock it seems.

You are clearly the one doing purity testing, what else could your little soap boxing be?
- Comment on Revealed: the insiders who filibustered the 'Zionism is Racism' motion at the Green Party conference 1 week ago:
“Somewhat on the left” - an embarrassed conservative pretending to be less of a ghoul than they are so they aren’t socially ostracised.
- Comment on 'Stats for Lefties' elected to Green Party Council, backed by Greens for Palestine 2 weeks ago:
The “little you do know” is western propaganda and you shouldn’t be voting on guesses and assumptions learned from reading and watching western press-titutes. Fence sitting liberal.
- Comment on Thames Water creditors accused of ‘shuffling deckchairs’ with plan for new board 2 weeks ago:
They basically already seized the Chinese steel company running Northern steel by doing something similar (and actually in that instant a massively scummy move that punished a company that actually held up its side of the investment bargain).
One is OK because it ‘punishes’ a geopolitical rival, and the other is a no-no because too many British pensions are invested in these private utilities.
- Comment on Under-fives and pregnant women told to avoid runny eggs when eating out over salmonella risk 2 weeks ago:
American eggs that we were told were totally healthy and definitely not going to be a health risk post-brexit.
British eggs bought from the supermarket still considered just as safe as they have been. Restaurants are cheating out and buying shit infected eggs from abroad.

- Comment on Reform UK unveils massive £50bn welfare overhaul to scrap PIP 3 weeks ago:
This is the kind of shit that ultimately gets more politicians killed. Lots of people have disabled family members or will become disabled in the future. This will be a dramatic increase in their cost of living as they have to support their family or watch them become homeless or die. That will lead to a massive increase in class-based rage that is more and more likely to bubble over into massive violence against the perpetrators.

It’s too expensive to be an alcoholic these days. The sin taxes did their job.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Love when politicians come out and say what they are, managers of the capitalist system, who basically never have to actually “govern” and instead just fiddle and poke around at the edges.
“The law is the law” is code for, “we have no intention of challenging a judicial decision with a political ruling, which we are perfectly capable of doing”.
- Comment on Jeremy Clarkson shares worrying Diddly Squat update after UK heatwave 4 weeks ago:
“Common” farmers are all multi-millionaires who hire farm labourers to do 90% of the work on their farms. Tenant farmers lease chunks of land off of “common” farmers, who are the aforementioned multi-millionaires.

“Super fetch”, how’s that boot taste? Maybe it’s a burnout prone job because they know 75% of what they do is acting as the bully boys of capital and the state, and they’re full to the brim of racists and misogynists, who don’t make very good co-workers.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 2 months ago:
Cuba is a “tankie” state and the most principled groups in support of it against the genocidal American blockade are “tankies”. You are advancing US imperialism by chatting nonsense about so-called tankies, doing the hard work of the red scare for your supposed enemies.
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Daughters Are Still Receiving Rent-Free Royal Accommodation 2 months ago:
China is currently on track to beat the west at its own game, and this is post maoist land reform. So regardless of whether you believe China is communist or not, their land reform has functioned perfectly well and has produced a system that is at least as functional as what we have in the west.
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Daughters Are Still Receiving Rent-Free Royal Accommodation 2 months ago:
Communist and anti-colonialist land reforms show that such a proposition is not unrealistic at all you are just a bootlicker monarchist.
