The ambulance man asked the Essex girl who had been in a road accident " where are you bleeding from?" and she said "I'm from bleedin' Romford"

Invariably they are people who justify - or at the very least do not challenge - economic power. Steven Pinker is a stand-out example.

Seeing lots of this tonight after that party political broadcast.
The Green Party are on track to overtake the Tories in membership.
Let's make hope normal again.

Better pay for ordinary workers is good for the economy because that money gets spent.
High pay and tax breaks for the wealthiest are bad for the economy because that money gets squirrelled away in offshore tax havens

It looks like this Labour government have got the politics wrong again.
Breaking: over 3,000 people joined @greenparty.org.uk over conference weekend.
Membership now stands at over 86,000.
We’re just getting started.

Amongst everything else that can ,(and should) be said against this - it's clearly, surely not sustainable or workable from an enforcement perspective.
It's madness to arrest people for objecting to a proscription.
BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.
Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month
bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/b...
I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.
And then refused a second time!
Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Zack on Bold Politics podium
I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

100% worth the long journey from Shetland to Bournemouth for @TheGreenParty conference.
With @ZackPolanski’s leadership, the atmosphere is electric. The party is unified, energetic, confident and growing fast.
Great too, to see an old friend. Keep it up Zack 💚💚💚
Not good enough...

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.
05.10.2025 09:33 — 👍 1033 🔁 248 💬 38 📌 13Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Essentially it was win-win-win.
