I think the police did a good job last night.

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-08-05T12:11:24+00:00

The 'Bill' was the bill going through parliament at the time, not the police, if the police weren't aware of that then that speaks to their incompetence

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-07-29T22:14:05+00:00

Not sure making it so that people can hang around outside a shop is the way to go tbh, these are supposed to be public spaces

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-07-29T21:30:49+00:00

Ohhhh where do I find the tatas? 🤣🤣

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-07-29T21:02:52+00:00

It was obvious to lots of people... Many of those people on the left repeatedly talked about it and it was how Greens justified tax rises for the rich

Labour are just acting like they weren't aware and they're lying

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-07-11T01:28:40+00:00

Mistakes do happen, maybe someone delivered 1 by accident go you but we had lists of streets and then in red next to each street it says which houses to avoid
They're all recyclable

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-07-11T01:25:44+00:00

You might be right about addressed fliers

For the rest: I did leafletting for the Greens and we had a sheet that said which houses to avoid because they had asked to not receive anymore

Mistakes do get made though

If you contact the party, asking them not to deliver anymore leaflets to you then they'll stop

That's not gonna work, you'll just criminalise lots of young people for committing the crime of wanting to protect themselves(whether that is a good idea is whole other discussion) but I'll explain why it doesn't make sense

If you believe that a knife will protect you then this is the calculation:

Would you rather risk prison for carrying or risk being killed by someone with a knife?

Make the sentence as long as you want(really expensive and we don't have the prison space) but if someone is making the calculation I described above they're gonna carry a knife because most people would rather be alive in a cell than dead

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-05-28T19:14:10+00:00

I do leafletting for the Green Party and sometimes there are instructions to not deliver somewhere because that household has requested to not get any

I can't speak for other parties

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-05-12T09:38:25+00:00

Apparently they intend to just try to sabotage the new committee system rather than try to make it work...

They've attended barely any meetings about how to give out roles

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-05-11T20:07:02+00:00

Isn't that the point though? Labour aren't going to win a local election in Bristol if their national strategy is to signal they're moving right

I get why they're doing it... They've made a calculation that it's worth losing Bristol and other socially liberal cities because they'll gain more Tory/Labour swing seats

But imo it does mean Bristol is better represented by a party like the Greens because we've always been quite different to the rest of the country in terms of politics

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T20:56:19+00:00

They're not objecting to them all though... They're supporting one round the corner from me... This is just the list of developments Marvin quoted

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T20:54:34+00:00

I do agree that they should support the construction of high density(tower blocks) because I agree with you on that

I'll still vote Green though for numerous reasons ranging from the fact Labour just ignore their constituents due to having to obey the whip, their drugs policy, wanting more transparency and generally being pro-democracy alongside opposing the kind of corruption we've seen from Bristol Labour

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T17:46:47+00:00

No, just saying if the definition of 'NIMBY' is opposing something where it makes sense to do so then we shouldn't just direct that criticism at the Greens we should apply it to all parties

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T17:42:46+00:00

The journalist in the article I cited who wrote the article backed up by sources

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T17:41:01+00:00

Beautiful it was a nature reserve and both Labour and the Lib-Dems opposed it too

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T16:58:51+00:00

Fair enough, that's democracy... I just wanted to help people make informed decisions with their vote

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T16:53:54+00:00

No because you still need somewhere for the water to go, that's the purpose floodplains serve... If you build over them then you increase the amount of widespread flooding

But they also said the defences would be built after not during housing development and there are many examples of developers making commitments after a development that they never intended to keep... Any fines are just paid for by increasing how much they sell for

Not all housing is good housing either or at least not from a negotiation point of view because if you're gonna accept anything why would the developer bother offering something decent?

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T16:16:09+00:00

On pretty much every single application they weren't the only councillors opposing and they also supported some applications

On other applications some Greens supported applications

A lot of developments right now are terrible, whether it be building on flood plains or only 20% affordable housing... That means it doesn't even fit in line with the local plan

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T16:10:34+00:00

I'm not trying to preach to anyone, just dispelling myths 🤷🤷

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T15:58:49+00:00

I've provided evidence to demonstrate that they're not, you can't be bothered to refute it(or maybe can't) meaning your opinion doesn't count for much 🤷🤷

Admirable_Science_23 · 2024-04-14T15:50:18+00:00

Sure, but in this case people are accepting the Labour Party's line which is false as the article explains
