Explanation - one of the main concerns was that any Jewish member, or even any synagogue, supporting a two state solution, would be considered racist (because one of those states would be Israel). That's most left wing UK Jews. The amendment to address that concern was voted down.

Although it feels like I am shouting into the void about this sometimes, I want to share some further thoughts on the “Zionism is Racism” motion which the Green Party is due to debate in the next 16 hours. Just to address various points which I think people in general should know. A thread:

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

as ever i'm struck by the doublethink of these people, who feel the need to dress up their mindless longing for heirarchy and exclusion in the language of liberalism--"high trust," material prosperity, blah blah blah it's a form of magical thinking: "if we do enough racism, good things will happen"

What they tell you in Genoa about St George’s Cross.
The true story of the english's flag
In 1190, king Richard and the Court of London requested and obtained authorization to fly the flag of Republic of Genoa on their ships sailing in the mediterranean and Black seas.
In that periodthe English ships were prey to pirates and bandits, fling the Genoeses flag these episodes passed.
Forthis authorisation they undertook to pay an annual tribute to the Republic of Genoa.
Since that moment England has been represented throughout the worlo by the flag of Sansiorgio, the flag of

I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Not a novel observation by any means but the irony here, of course, is that it is precisely the UK’s successful approach to multiculturalism that has allowed us to generate a brown white nationalist.

It wouldn't matter IMO but for being yet another example of his tendency to yada-yada details, which for someone who leads a political party, a job that involves a large amount of "setting and applying rules to things", is a genuine failing

So this just misses the point entirely. Likely impact will be short-term before shunting the problem elsewhere in the system - like the mental health system with associated costs, when it will end up costing the welfare system more in the medium term. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.
