That's very special ♥️

It is sectarianism, which is a really strange stance for the Green party (as is traditionally understood) to take. I don't understand it at all - and this is evident in their UK and O/seas policies

Who you vote for locally directly can affect the Government - so it's wise to understand what that part would do if they had a majority. The local candidate with the most votes becomes the MP. The party with most MPs becomes the government.

Politician's moving from one party to another, especially when local is worth discussing. You have to wonder what they are driven by, and particularly in this instance, as their new party is moving in strange directions.

Some people are all of the above. Would happily ban them, or send them to training school

Yes - indeed. Should we be choosing our own political parties based on their stance on Israel and religions?

or - don't talk politics in a political discussion Polanski's stance (and that of Greens) absolutely needs talking about. Seems that politics has become very race-driven.

Definitely a contender for the biggest scandal - I think the unquestionable winner is Blair's lying about WMD and starting a war in the Gulf.

God forbid it's Labour (or the Tories for that matter

This is precisely why the government should impose the fines and order the work. It's a disgrace.

because they are not liable for the costs or fines ?

Perhaps your first review comment should be - "batteries not included and awkward to locate"

You're forgetting that the Labour Administration under Blair - while not directly responsible for privatisation - actually reinforced the privatisation by changing their licences and basically cementing the agreement, ignoring warnings, failing to return the industry to the public sector, and there were in fact tenuous links of the Labour Administration to the private profit making sector. It's like saying the bathroom flooded because Thatcher turned the tap on - but not mentioning that Blair put the plug in and turned the tap on full

what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.

When the news is alarmist, the reaction matches it.
