No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.
Our media class is rotten to the core.
Motion passed. Condemning proscription of Palestine Action. "The Scottish Green Party has a long history of supporting Palestine and campaigning against apartheid and the injustices of imperialism and colonialism. We, therefore, should stand against this authoritarian move by the UK state."
Our Autumn Conference has voted overwhelmingly to oppose the anti-democratic proscription of Palestine Action and the criminalisation of peaceful protest.
