Wel, I think it depends on the context. So during an England football game, 1'Il paint my face in a Saint George's Cross quite happily. At another time though, where we don't nave a football tournament, I think it's quite imported from America this idea that we wave flags outside our house. If people want to do that then think that's up to them. But I think at times of heightened tensions, I would say patriotism is actually about loving your neighbour, whether they're from this country or not. Patriotism is about building cohesive communities. I'm really proud today to be an elected Jewish leader of the Green Party. My deputy leader is a Muslim man. I think that's patriotism. When we recognize that antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin, and actually communities are so much better when we're more creative and work together in solidarity. SR: It's interesting to listen tO what you're saying there -s so do you think that flying a St George's Cross outside your house at a time, as you put it, of heightened tension could be intimidating for some communities? Zack Polanski: I think people can experience as intimidation. And I think if those communities are intimidated, again the patriotic thing to do would be to have those conversations with your neighbours, have those conversations with the communities.
Look at this response from Polanski to Sophie Ridge's attempted gotcha on flags
To *finally* have a mainstream political voice standing up for racialised & minoritised communities being intimidated by the violent fash on our streets
It's really not that hard, is it?

This is the thing no one is willing to fucking say out loud: We live in a world where people accept you're supposed to be miserable. You don't like men? Too bad. Most of us don't like our husbands, honey, but you have to grow up and pop out kids. That's just life.

Hi everyone
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
Note to anyone who argues with transphobes. ALWAYS look up the obscure thing they are talking about as they are always, always wrong. Most of the time the example they give is a direct counter argument to their own point
