'personal reasons' being things he'd personally done i guess. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

I just don't even know why people think this stuff... let alone decide to post it on social media. |  |

Out of interest is there anywhere that collates the number of candidates / councillors / representatives of all of the 'new' and also of the older established parties, who have had to pull out of elections or indeed out of elected positions as a result of social media tvvattery?
The obvious factor for both Green and Ref*rm is the need to field unvetted, untried, unknown candidates. Gut instinct would suggest that there would be more offenders from the right than from the left but I wonder what sort of shape the curve is once normalised for length of candidacy.
This data could help stop the attempts to smear a party or an ideology as a whole, but I guess you'd need to try to classify the 'offensiveness' of the posts as well, and where they are on a scale from self-stated personal diarrhoea to casually/stupidly shared without comment and context. |  |

I don't eat other people's puke, so I don't go on Tw*tter (unless it's something important that I absolutely need to know immediately on a match day!), but so far as I can tell it's like the wire mesh waste paper basket you reach for when you have the mental equivalent of a sudden need to puke and don't realise that the place you're depositing into is full of holes. A'holes.
Who was the tvvat of an original poster that this fool retweeted? | |

“Green by-election candidate Chris Kennedy shared posts on social media describing an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London as a “false flag”
He also shared a post by British ethno-nationalist Hugh Anthony which claimed that the response to the arson attack in Golders Green on March 23 made "no sense".
“According to Hope Not Hate, Anthony has been known to argue in favour of "remigration" to prevent the demographic “replacement” of white Britons, saying the policy should extend to “all Jews living in Britain”.
“ And he [the Green candidate] shared an Instagram video that described the arrests of two men over the attack as “total bullshit to keep the false flag flying” and featured another image in which parts of the word “Jewish” were blacked out” | |

They have until 4pm on Monday to come up with an alternative candidate.
I wonder if in the circumstances they will not bother which would also placate those Greens who are in favour of the Greens stepping aside.
As regards the vetting of future Green candidates, they ought to ask, have you ever expressed views on social media about the position in relation to Israel/Gaza/the West Bank, and treat with suspicion/fully investigate anyone who says they have? [Post edited 22 May 8:48]

They'll stand and not campaign too much - like the Tories and Lib Dems.
Why waste money and effort when you know you are fighting for 3rd place at best? |  |

Thanks. That looks pretty crap, and it's a good job he's no longer the Green candidate. It's obviously hard for the party to effectively vet the huge number of candidates needed for local council elections, but to fk up like this on a parliamentary candidate is pretty rubbish.
I, for one, will be glad if they don't stand in this constituency anyway. | |

1. The Greens would lose all credibility as a viable alternative to Labour if the didn’t out up a candidate.
2. There would be absolutely no issue with a candidate expressing views on social media about the position in Israel/Gaza/the West Bank. This (non) candidate didn’t do that. He shared an antisemitic conspiracy theory about the Hatzola fire bombings being a false flag. | |

1. No, that's emphatically not true in my opinion, subjective though it is.
Any decent political entity should put the country before the party at times of crisis, and the risk of Labour being rudderless and Ref*rm winning in 2029 is a monumental social, economic and environmental crisis waiting in the wings.
You have to ask yourself, is your view based on attacking or defending the Greens at any cost rather than wanting to avoid a catastrophe for the country. | |

1. You're probably right that they will put up a candidate.
2. I meant my words to include commenting on related matters in this country. And whilst what you say is correct in theory, the fact that they have had issues with several candidates suggests to me that they need to be on maximum alert, especially because of the risk of sharing or liking distasteful posts because if the Greens don't find it, the media will.

Yep the Greens need to get their actions together and fast on anti semitic members.
It's morally abhorrent.
Also their efforts to occupy the vacant left will come to nothing.
And the r wing comics that pass as papers will be delighted |  | | |

Yes thought provoking read.
Not sure I'm in 100% agreement with all off it.
But the Greens have really got themselves in a mess here.
The "guess" that Polanski is not dealing with this more pro actively because I quote
it would be because Polanski knows the views shared by Kennedy are not just popular among the Greens, they are endemic.
That is a big statement tarnishing an awful lot of people. | | | |

the greens problem is that they have acquired the corbynites and their bed fellows. they would have gone to your party if it wasn't too much of a farce even for them, so instead they have entered the green party. and they have brought all their baggage and nastiness. i agree it is very sad for the original greens to be tarnished in this way. | |

I can’t see the replies (nor would I give X clicks) but he’s got a point. Most of the problems are caused by conspiracies. Antisemitism is fundamentally based on a whole bunch of conspiracies. It would be foolish to think they couldn’t infect political thinking in government either. Trumps’s administration is built on conspiracies. Reform’s anti-environmental stance is based on conspiracies.
I preferred it when people online spent their time on whacky but harmless conspiracy theories like the flat earth and fake moon landings. |  |
