The Green Party

A 'scooby'?  What's a scooby?  A bit like a scooter? 😉

Scooby do - clue. 😁

I don't think it is only the young who 'don't have a scooby' ..
That was proven by the voters who flocked to the polls last time and voted for Labour..
because they thought the only other choice was Conservative ..
They now realise that there or other parties.. But are worried of 'wasting' their vote..
This result has opened their eyes to the Green party.. and .. blindfolded they will follow...
... because they can not think for themselves..
This is the worse result for Reform because the public now see that they are  not the only (newbies) in the running..

Scooby do - clue. 😁

Worrying article in today's Telegraph.
Don't vote Green!

The disturbing rise of sectarianism in British politics
The Gorton and Denton by-election gives a taste of the "vicious future that awaits England", says Nick Cohen in The Spectator.
To win the Muslim vote, Green leader Zack Polanski gave an interview to 5Pillars, an Islamist outfit that has been reprimanded by the press regulator for encouraging "hatred and abuse" toward Jewish and LGBT people. (Polanski is Jewish and gay, "but you don't get the sectarian vote by opposing racism and homophobia".)
He also put out an ad in Urdu linking Labour with India's Hindu PM Narendra Modi and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, overtly stoking religious tensions – in Manchester no less, where Jews were murdered in October "just for being Jews".
And don't look to Reform UK for help: Nigel Farage is pursuing a mirror-image of Green sectarian politics from the right – or, to be plain, the far right.

We are facing nothing less than the "collapse of our democratic norms," says Jake Wallis Simons in The Daily Telegraph.
Sectarianism is "poised to become the new lever of British politics".
For years there was talk of a "red-green alliance" between the hard left and Islamists.
Those old fears now seem "pitifully naïve".
What did our elites expect after decades of importing whole communities from non-democratic cultures and "neglecting their assimilation"?
Today, a not insignificant chunk of voters is so consumed with hatred of Israel that it is the dominant issue for them, even during a cost-of-living crisis.
This foreign priority highlights the "ghettoisation of modern Britain" and suggests that communities increasingly "define themselves by their religious affiliation".

I fear we're heading for a future of more bigotry, more fury, more extremism and less democracy.
"Britain is fighting for its life and frankly, the odds aren't good."

Yes - amusing that they were labelling Reform as the party of division too. 

I doubt there are enough Muslim constituencies for them to get anywhere close to becoming a government and they are obviously stealing only Labour votes as muslims, wokes, and other loons surely rarely voted Conservative in any quantity. I see that result as the death knell for Labour if one was even needed.

The longer Labour hold on to power the more will forget just how crappy the Conservatives had become.

muslims seem intent on adopting the Green Party for their own aims and when there are enough of them that will be their party. Any woke lefties still in it will be daft enough to welcome them. But over 50% of the electorate didn't vote. is it apathy or disgust, we may not know.

Thanks Granny.  I didn't have a scooby.

Lack of British community leaders I fear. It seems if you have a community leader you can get 150% turnout.

[GrannyMac]

Of course! And no challenges.
