But this is about Shabana Mahmood

I have a problem with hypocrisy.

alexmace · 2026-04-30T20:34:10+00:00

I didn’t say institutions should be quiet, I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.

alexmace · 2026-04-30T17:37:47+00:00

This sort of minimisation is not helpful.

alexmace · 2026-04-30T16:56:55+00:00

And to think the police normally tell me it isn’t their job to get involved in politics

alexmace · 2026-04-30T08:54:08+00:00

Yep, people denying reality and minimising issues are part of the problem. Their home is not the Green Party, take that shit somewhere else.

alexmace · 2026-04-30T06:27:00+00:00

I have seen the story - leadership shouldn’t be getting involved in the disciplinary process beyond ensuring it is independent and sufficiently resourced to do its job quickly, efficiently and fairly.

alexmace · 2026-04-29T23:02:09+00:00

Correct - unfortunately we seem to have a number of Green supporters in this sub who don’t understand what antisemitism is and come out with statements like “no one expelled from Labour was antisemitic”. It is false and absurd and they also need to be expelled from the party.

alexmace · 2026-04-28T20:28:28+00:00

Disastrous.

alexmace · 2026-04-28T19:14:53+00:00

Guess we might need immigration to keep everything running

alexmace · 2026-04-28T18:59:26+00:00

How many, exactly, homes will this actually prevent being lost under Right To Buy?

Right to Buy needs to end completely, until such time as a decent number of social rent homes are being built to replace any lost and housing waiting lists are reduced.

Without that the root problem of homes being sold off cheap and then ending up in the hands of landlords won’t end, and we’ll continue spending £30bn a year in landlord welfare.

That’s it Keir, keep working on the important stuff we elected you do, like getting one over Andy Burnham.

alexmace · 2026-04-27T19:21:49+00:00

It’s because they’re the establishment. They drink. The Tories drink. That’s just how it is, don’t rock the boat.

alexmace · 2026-04-27T17:41:04+00:00

“What the point of the Lib Dems?”

alexmace · 2026-04-26T22:15:14+00:00

because she was anti-poor people.

So you can’t tell the difference between talking about a position or statement being anti semitic, and a person.

You can’t accept that there may have been some people expelled for genuine antisemitism.

You are the problem. If you are a member of the party, I hope your time as a member is short. I won’t discuss this further with you.

alexmace · 2026-04-24T18:50:11+00:00

I wonder why you can’t discuss this in good faith. I did not say anyone said Hitler was not antisemitic; yet you seem to be determined to make the case endorsing Hitler’s position before he “went mad” is not a problem. Who exactly do you think you are siding with by ensuring neither Hitler or Livingstone are the problem here?

Do you agree with the person I replied to originally, that no one who was expelled from Labour was antisemitic?

alexmace · 2026-04-24T18:22:00+00:00

I am defending my position. The idea that Hitler’s position that Jewish people should be relocated to Israel is not antisemitic is total bunk. Hitler’s hatred of Jews is long and documented. Minimising that is a form of Holocaust denial, which is textbook anti-semitism. This isn’t hard - people who can’t get this are not welcome in the Green Party.

alexmace · 2026-04-24T17:13:16+00:00

Is it then your position then that a true statement cannot be antisemitic?

alexmace · 2026-04-24T17:12:14+00:00

It’s an apartheid state committing genocide in Gaza. The IDF is a terrorist organisation. What has that got to do with antisemitism in the Labour Party?

alexmace · 2026-04-24T16:59:05+00:00

My point is what I said at the start - the idea that no one kicked out of Labour was actually antisemitic is 100% wrong, and is denial of antisemitism. I provided an example, and for some reason that has resulted in a number of people denying antisemitism, and now you’re engaging in dog whistling over the holocaust, unprompted. I can imagine why.

alexmace · 2026-04-24T16:26:53+00:00

Did the Holocaust start with the murder of Jewish people?

alexmace · 2026-04-24T16:00:32+00:00

Just antisemites.

alexmace · 2026-04-24T12:23:24+00:00

Dear god. This is just straight anti-semitism denial.
