Whenever racism is raised as an issue, white supremacists will stamp their feet and should 'No, YOU are the REAL racist.' Which is exactly what the BoD is doing to the Green Party. Make of that what you will.

Quotes filled with grunting about antisemites targeting a Jewish community centre...the protests are led by Jewish anti-Zionist groups and are due to JW3 hosting an event encouraging settlement in occupied Palestine.
The Met has but in place a designated restriction on protests in the vicinity of JW3, Finchley, today, Sunday, 25 October, as part of the policing operation to prevent intimidation and disruption to the local community.

This is extraordinary detail on how the 250 MP candidates on the Student List were chosen in Serbia. They are now projected to win about 140 of 250 seats. Incredible outbreak of direct, participatory democracy to product a Parliament of doctors, scientists, artists and activists.
Sırbistan'da öğrenciler doğrudan demokrasi yöntemini seçim siyasetine taşıdılar. Liderlere dayalı, yukarıdan aşağıya bir örgütlenme yerine, herkesin söz alabildiği öğrenci genel kurulları (plenum) oluşturdular. Kararlar tartışılarak, mümkün olduğunca uzlaşmayla alındı. Bu yöntemi üniversitelerin dışına da taşıdılar. Mahallelerde, kentlerde ve köylerde yurttaş meclisleri (zborovi) kuruldu. İnsanlar kendi sorunlarını tartışmak, çözüm önermek ve birlikte karar almak için toplandı. 250 kişilik milletvekili aday listesini de şöyle oluşturdular: 1- Önce 250 adaylık kontenjanı, öğrenci sayılarına göre altı üniversite kenti arasında paylaştırdılar. Belgrad'ın listeye hâkim olmaması için diğer kentlerin de üst sıralarda temsil edilmesini sağladılar. Ardından her kentin kontenjanını fakülteler arasında dağıttılar. 2- Ülke genelinde 80'den fazla fakültede öğrenci genel kurulları toplandı. Öğrenciler kendileri aday olmadı ama her biri aday önerebildi ve neden o kişiyi önerdiğini açıkladı. İsimler tartışıldı, önce uzlaşma arandı, gerektiğinde oylama yapıldı. 3- Mevcut siyasi kadrolara kapıyı kapattılar. İktidar partilerinin mevcut ve eski üyelerini, iktidar adına görev yapmış siyasetçileri ve bürokratları, muhalefet partilerinin üst düzey yöneticilerini aday göstermediler. Böylece hem iktidardan hem de yerleşik muhalefetten bağımsız bir liste oluşturdular. 4- Fakülteler birbirlerinin adaylarını da denetledi. Önerilen bütün isimler ortak bir listede toplandı ve tüm fakültelerin incelemesine açıldı. İtirazlar öğrenci kurullarında tartışıldı. Adayın elenmesi için kurulların yarısından fazlasının veto etmesi gerekiyordu. Tek bir fakültenin itirazı yeterli değildi. 5- Elenen veya çekilen adayların yerine yedekler getirildi. Böylece profesörlerin, doktorların, bilim insanlarının, işçilerin, sanatçıların ve aktivistlerin yer aldığı 250 kişilik liste ortaya çıktı.

In years of genocide hope came from the young In Serbia 2 yrs of youth-led protest -integrity, unity, perseverance- brought change Today that hope is a rainbow its far end in Brazil May it shine wherever wounds run deep and the young are fighting the old Humanity will prevail

I’ve just come off a Unison picket line for striking Camden traffic wardens. They were privatised by Camden Council years ago. I was on their picket lines in 2012. They work 42.5 hours a week on low pay. They are striking for an extra £2 an hour and to have their leave entitlement the same as the council workers, which means an extra 7 days. The company is NSL, whose top manager is on £619,000 - £330 an hour. Some wonderful supporter brought a solidarity chocolate cake to the picket line. The traffic warden service should be brought back in house. Solidarity. @unisontheunion

This is Labour Politician Lord Tom Watson being paid to be a salesman for Palantir, a highly controversial tech company that has Government contracts. This is a sign of a democracy in decline.
Nobody wants to buy a service they can’t walk away from. Palantir’s critics have long claimed we ‘lock in’ our customers. We don’t. This short film explains why. It’s the first in a series on the gap between the rhetoric about Palantir and the work we actually do.

Men laugh at the bad jokes. They don't call out bad behaviour. This is the "do better" we all need to do. The group needs to call out, not encourage or turn blind eyes to the extreme among them.

A man rammed a woman with his car to the point she needed her legs amputated. Fact. Men commit violent acts against women constanly. Fact. Men make sick jokes about women & their gym attire. Fact. Men need to do better. Fact. Men should be disgusted at the actions of these men.

Men will repeatedly drive their car into a woman MP, causing her to lose both legs, then get offended when a woman says men are violent 🤷‍♂️
BREAKING Teals MP Monique Ryan just said men are violent. She said it was a man that drove at Helen Hains. She said men need to do better.

In consequence, shouldn't the Green Party be proscribed? Surely we shouldn't allow a 'rascist' party to be included in our politics?

Just to be clear, as I don’t see a lot of folks pointing this out or acknowledging this: Bolsonaro also formally asked for polling stations to be kept open another two hours!
The optics are horrible
