Yes it is a pretty good thing.

I have read this and lots of Erin's stuff before. Unfortunately Erin is neither a journalist or a scientist and thus their debunking is usually erroneous and full of the usual trans lies.

There is so much misinformation in this space and Erin only adds to it.

Black female footballers are praised for their strength, white players for their intelligence: what our study shows We analysed 2,905 comments of praise given to footballers during 80 hours of BBC and ITV coverage.

Interesting to see a data analysis of the problem. Judging by the comments under this article, we still have a long way to go.

An 8% drop in national food bank use under the Labour government.

I’d put some of this down to free childcare, some to uplift in min wage & pensions, some to breakfast clubs and some to reducing interest rates/inflation.

This deserves massive applause. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I completely agree with you.

Unfortunately i think we may end up with Nigel Farage as PM and Zack Polanski as leader of the opposition (presuming Polanski gets elected as a MP).

β€˜Multiple failures’: Urgent review after triple killer found living with foster children The NSW state government has ordered an urgent review after a convicted triple killer was found living with foster children – despite the department being informed in December.

"Reginald Arthurell, who now goes by Regina, was convicted of stabbing HER stepfather to death in 1974, bashing a man to death in a robbery in 1981, and beating HER former partner to death while on parole in 1991. SHE was released on parole in 2020."

Fuck this shit.

I'll say one thing for the replies on this: they make clear, as if there was any doubt, where the incredibly annoying online Corbynites have gone.

No idea what the polling is but it’s always a possibility.

It’s why I thought the idea of doing a commission in lieu of supporting Ash Regan’s bill was a promise that they may not be able to keep.

When I asked Zack Polanski about his brief if memorable career as a breast size-enhancing hypnotherapist, he told me that it was never about actual breast size, just body image.

This was not the case, and this new BBC article - and audio clip – makes that plainer.

Zack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claim A newly unearthed interview from 2013 casts doubt on the Green Party leader's claim to have apologised.

"Actually increasingly more and more as I work with people, there's starting to become anecdotal evidence, at least, of a growth in breast size," he told presenter Peter Levy." πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh dear. So he lied. Again.

Just another grifter.

β€œWhen I was growing up, the story of Israel was always ever-present in the family home and in the school,” he says. β€œAs I got older, though, I was always really aware of socialist Zionism, a small group of people that were always against the eviction of the Palestinians from their homeland, and [non-Zionist Jewish socialist movement] Bundism as well.

β€œSo, there’s lots of different aspects of what a Jewish homeland would look like. It is a complicated, sensitive and nuanced conversation. What is clear to me, though, is what Zionism is under Benjamin Netanyahu – a genocidal regime.”

β€œZionism is racism” is the title of a motion that is being sent to the next Green Party Conference and that Polanski has not opposed. Would that statement not flatten the nuance he speaks of? β€œIf we’re talking about Benjamin Netanyahu and the genocidal regime, then that is obviously racist,” he replies.

But β€œZionism is racism” would be labelling as racist those he grew up alongside – family, friends – who consider themselves Zionist.

β€œI think all statements and slogans are complicated because there’s always more nuance behind a sentence, and so that’s why I think the sentence needs qualifying to talk about the present day and what’s happening right now.”

He would not consider them racists for being Zionists, though, would he? β€œWho, sorry?” Zionists he grew up around, for example. β€œI think if someone supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide, then I think there’s no other definition of that than racist.”

But he has mentioned different kinds, such as socialist Zionism? β€œYeah, and so that’s for that person to define what their Zionism is. That’s why I’m defining the Zionism that I’m talking about. And that’s the problem with labels, right?”

This is also a fucking word salad response. 'It all depends what the definition of Zionism is' - except this motion (which he refuses to condemn) literally does not make any distinction! You could be a left-wing Histadrut organiser who hates Netanyahu, this motion would still define you as a racist.
