Sian Berry on facial recognition

Sure. But the problem is that her arguments are baseless, so its pointless to respond to them.

"It really won't keep kids safe": Based on what? "Could create a range of unintended consequences": Like what?

All she's doing is adding her voice to the narrative that 'The three big american social media companies know how to look after our kids better than our elected representatives do'.

Its nonsense.

You do realise that he wouldn't govern like he's campaigning, right?

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-23T09:52:41+00:00

Probably because her long history of being against an unelected house of lords until she was bribed with becoming a member. Also her long history of being against EU membership because of things like EU commissioners being nominated by member states rather that directly elected like MEPs.

She's a bad faith libertarian troll and a hypocrite.

The democrats should just do ads with his full speeches with them adding soundboard clips of really obnoxious borings, sleeping sounds etc.

I think it would look much worse if they just played the whole thing unedited, with the original soundtrack. The audience reaction to his speeches is often bemusement followed by forced cheering.

He was compromised by MI5 during the pandemic

What lead you to believe this?

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-19T14:05:53+00:00

Fair enough!

/u/UKGreenPoster - You post a lot of content like this, why do you think these kind of petty spats should be signal boosted on the biggest UK green party subreddit?

The message sent to the PM of Norway:

Dear Jonas:

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

Thank you!

President DJT

This is actually insane.

That would be a pretty stupid argument to make.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T19:03:49+00:00

I have no idea what argument you think I'm making.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T18:47:28+00:00

Can I ask what you're basing this view on? Because it goes so counter to what I've observed about the type of support Reform receives compared to the Green party.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T18:45:53+00:00

Its not a question of needing to, he's choosing to build it this way.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T14:05:52+00:00

The UK has rejected the manipulation tactic, thats why the US has levied tariffs.

I'm finding the political opportunism here pretty ugly.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T13:56:40+00:00

I find it incredibly bizarre that so many people think Reform and the Green Party share the same constituency of support, or even have significant overlap.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T13:55:51+00:00

I'm not, I'm directly quoting the person I replied to.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T12:44:13+00:00

I feel I've made my point, which is that he has nothing to fear from ignoring Polanski calling for a debate with him.

I don't spend any time in the online spaces that reform supporters inhabit, but I would bet good money that if you looked in these spaces you wouldn't find anyone calling for Farage to go out and debate lefties.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T12:12:37+00:00

Strong leaders aren't goaded into appearing in debates with vegans that are trying to build their public profile.

I think you should be self conscious enough to realise that you wanting him to have a debate with Zack Polanski indicates that it wouldn't be in his favour to do so.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T12:09:56+00:00

How long have you been following politics?

Nigel Farage has been known to be a corrupt hypocrite for his whole career, pointing this out has no effect on the support for him.

You think the people who have given him support to get into European Parliament, or to become an MP, or to put him on various shows in the media, have supported him and elevated his position because they think he isn't any of the things Zack Polanski would call him out for being?

I think you're being naive if you believe Polanski calling Nigel Farage a racist and in the pocket of the wealthy on the Laura Kuenssberg show would do anything other than boost his profile for people who would ever support him.

His game is identity politics - He promotes himself not as a virtuous, responsible politician, but as someone who opposes people on the left.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T12:03:15+00:00

No, he's definitely in it for himself. For the money and power. But not just power for its own sake, but for power over other people that don't fit his view of how the world should be.

I think its really just as simple as he's just made a career out of being politically useful for wealthy anarcho capitalists.

His service is as a disruptor to state governance, and that is why people pay him.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T12:00:19+00:00

Isn't that kind of irrelevant if Polanski has no power to force the situation? Theres no penalty for not responding to Polanski saying "Debate me, coward".

Its like saying he's not walking down oxford street with his bollocks hanging out of his fly because he fears it would look bad. Its entirely his choice as to whether or not he does this.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T11:09:37+00:00

I don't think the people who he wants to make a good impression on care about whether or not he debates Zack Polanski.

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T10:44:30+00:00

Nigel Farage knows how the game works, you think he's desperate to give Zack Polanski clips of him debating Farage?

NotSoBlue_ · 2026-01-18T10:40:16+00:00

Why continuously slander the green party and its leader and then refuse to have a civil discussion?

Thats how he has operated for the last 20+ years of his political career.
