@cns-theatre.bsky.social's secondary account for stuff not related to theatre. As before, likely to be crap jokes, politics and infrastucture.

Liked the way that the game includes no witness statements or crime investigation or de-escalation tactics and goes straight to the shooting. There again, it is set in America.

And just a reminder. Whilst I am interested in the outcome of the trial, I'm more interested whether anyone (either individuals or organisations) is exposed as complicit. There must be no mealy-mouthed apologies or slaps on the wrist if that happens. There must be real consequences.

Okay, got it Yanny-boy. The Nazis invading the entire world for no reason at all and the EU enabling an invaded country to fight back are exactly the same thing.

If the Greens insist on repeating all the mistakes (and moral repugnancy) for the Corbyn era, they could at least learn the lesson of what happens when you ignore polls turning against you. So far, however, they seem dead-set of going deeper into denial the worse it gets.

This polling trend for the 16-24 age band should worry the Green Party, but it won't.
A peak of 32% last December and a downward trend since.

If the UK adopts televised executions, they won't follow the American model. They'll get the public at ease with a host who is trusted, relatable, lightens the mood - and will do anything if the fee is high enough. There's only one choice for the job ...

(Also, in my experience, the opinion people claim to have been thrown out for is different from the one the actually got them booted. If you, say, support net zero and killing the Irish, it probably wasn't net zero that got you booted however much you claim it was.)

So, how long do you think before Trump introduces Real Life Hangman as a game show? Every wrong letter gets another bit of the scaffold built. 6th wrong letter and the trapdoor opens. ICE agents get an easy word with lots of vowels. Patsies shooting at Trump get a hard word with a Q or a Z.

The harshest summary I can make of Polanski is that his core support base is people who see him as a useful idiot. Who they will dispose of once his usefulness is spent. And that time is coming soon. And, deep down, I think Zack knows that too.

No sympathy for Trump on this one, but if you think this is okay, you hand misogynist journalist the excuse they need to do the same to any female politicians getting a bit lippy. Be careful what you wish for and all that.

This does not prove you are on the side of the hardcore antisemites. But it does prove - be it through weakness or botched political calculation - you've allowed them to overrun the party. For that reason, you are unfit to be a party leader.

You could easily have used your influence to get the motion amended to separate Jews from the ideology of the Israeli government. As leader, you would probably have swung the vote your way. You didn't.

Don't like kicking politicians when they're down, but I'm afraid this is too little, too late. In the run-up to conference, you were peddling exactly the straw-man definition used as a pretext for blanket harassment of Jews. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

URGENT CLARIFICATION: When our organisation resolved to build a giant machine to mince all the kittens in the world, that did not mean we intend to mince all the kittens in the world. We only voted down an amendment to not mince kittens is because we won't mince kittens so there's no need for it.

The excuse that they're not going to punish anyone is not good enough. You branded the vast majority of people in one religion as racist. That's discrimination. You may as well argue it's okay for an employer to say homosexuality is sinful just because they didn't actually discipline gay employees.

There is one other problem the Green Party leadership have: as trustees of an organisation, they are legally liable for breaches of the law - even if the sovereign body of the party voted for it. Unlike 2018/19 Labour, it isn't individuals within the party - it's Green Party policy itself.

So it turns out the token Jews - who the cranks counted on as the acceptable face of their unhinged fig-leaf Jew-hatred - do actually have a line after all. And we've learned where the line is because the Green Party have finally overstepped it. Even Corbyn never achieved that.

The other possibility, of course, is that the leadership - as Trustees exercising their duty in legal compliance - step in and declare the motion void. But Zack Polanski will be out of his arse faster than you can say "Zionist stooge" if he does. I don't see any way out.

Expect a lot of journalists pressing all the Green MPs and leaders and deputy leaders to press for answers on whether they believe the policy is legal - and (optional nasty bit), if they said it was and they lose in court whether they will resign from public life in disgrace.

I don't see how they can explain themselves out of this. If they say they're not responsible for member-voted policies, tough titties, vicarious liability says they are. If they try to claim it's just ethnonationalism they oppose, it's discrimination that they don't oppose it for anyone else.

A comparable act would be Reform adopting a policy that the hijab is misogyny, based on a dogmatic interpretation of what the hijab's origins, and ignoring what any Muslims who wear the hijab actually say.
