Zack Polanski is typical: a failed actor, a failed hypnotherapist, a failed Liberal Democrat, who kept failing upwards. I can't watch another video of him "dancing" in Trafalgar Square. Emperor, you don't have any clothes on.

@borofergie @UKTogetherAll Stay safe and enjoy pissing on the Fascist's chips.

No one tell Steve Tierney…
The Spectator@spectator
You might describe it as the Polanski paradox. The party which calls itself Green, which has concern for the environment as its raison d’être, has never been more popular. Four Green MPs returned at the last general election. Victory in the recent Gorton and Denton by-election. Local election gains in May predicted to be sweeping. Running second in many national opinion polls, and in the projected seat tally for the Scottish parliament. ✍️ The Spectator Article | spectator.com/article/the-to…

I saw Zack in Peterborough. Those aren’t the only things that he talks about. I have more influence over local social justice as an executive councillor than I would have as an MP. I’ve also worked on several projects (at CCC) to help rural communities wean themselves off heating oil.
English
@borofergie But not any of the things that I mentioned. Which are the things Zack seems to keep talking about. So what is the price of Heating oil in St Neots?

And I say this as a product of Catholic School who got an A for GCSE RE.

Personally I’m not keen on teaching any religion in schools. I’ve had so many conversations about “Adam and Eve are not real” to my kids who went to non-religious state schools. Even when it is framed as “respecting all religion” it often amounts to low-level indoctrination.
John Cleese@JohnCleese
This is wrong and should not be happening, unless all the other religions are being explored in the same way

@opaqueentity @borofergie The big issues don’t matter at the local level other than how the party’s policies might sway cllrs on things, but personal dedication, effectiveness and individual qualities and experience are more important which they both have plenty of. I’d vote for the right Green cllrs.

We’ve done big things (in my portfolio): reducing council tax for the 4000 least-well-off families, in most cases to zero (2) bringing empty houses into use as homes (3) putting care leavers and victims of domestic violence to the top of the social housing register (4) reducing the wait for disability improvements to homes (5) dealing with serious anti-social behaviour in St Neots, Huntingdon and Ramsey.

@borofergie So you can solve Gaza, solve the cost of living, solve the cost of train, cost of petrol, workers rights, nationalisations, etc etc. Lots of big things that are fine to sell when approaching a GE but we are coming up to local elections and those big thigs are not council things.
English
@opaqueentity How do you mean? Lara and I have both been on the cabinet at HDC for four years and made lots of positive changes. facebook.com/share/v/1KSrxM…
English
@borofergie So if Greens win the council what will they change? Not heard that, just more the bigger issues that councils don't have any say in atall.

@borofergie The annual cycle… Easter rage, poppy rage and Christmas rage.
English
The eggs literally say “Happy Easter” on the top of the box. This annual-faux-outrage-propaganda is tedious. As if anyone real gives a shit about chocolate packaging anyway.
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK
Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@johnosborne1979 @Lara4StNeots Democracy not your thing then “john”?

@borofergie @Lara4StNeots You and the rest of the Green Party are a danger to the British society

Cllr Lara Davenport-Ray (@Lara4StNeots ), Sam Booker and I got to meet THE Zack Polanski at a campaign rally in Peterborough today.
Zack is every bit as charismatic and inspirational in person as you’d expect. His message was simple and powerful:
“we have so much more in common with the everyday concerns of real people than Farage and his billionaire backers.”
We choose hope over fear. ✊🌱💚

So excited to welcome Ingrid Flaubert - who has just defected to join the Green Party.
She's joined us because we're the party of hope - with a plan.
Let's go, Cambridge! 💚

A little while back, Kathryn and I cleared out some old stuff from Naomi’s shed in preparation for the upcoming local elections 🗳️ I found some of my leaflets from 2023, which got me nostalgic - I’ve grown so much over the last few years! I’m excited for what I’ll do next ☺️

How desperately sad is this video?
The @LibDems are over and out.
Yet another established political party that has treated its voters as though they are brain dead idiots.
