Your Party is a pretty good name I think. Though yes. Funny to be in there along with our party.

And the greens have absolutely eaten their lunch. They're pointless.

You can totally see this bunch executing each other soviet style if ever gained power via a revolution.

Judean People's Front should be on the short list of names.

I have seen that there's a growing trend of calling Corbyn insufficiently pro-Palestinian and disrupting his meetings over this.

I think part of it is generational. So Sultana has said she is anti-Zionist, while Corbyn still frames his position as being in total solidarity with the Palestinian people and taking his lead from there. Sultana had a pre-conference rally last night and there were leaflets (not from her) on every seat questioning whether Corbyn was really anti-Zionist (eg he has praised the PA and talked about a two state solution in the past).

At Corbyn's pre-conference rally he was sharing the stage with Len McCluskey (former General Secretary of Unite, a very big powerful union) who's a close ally. There was quite a lot of disruption prompting McCluskey to shout (jokingly) at the disrupters "Saboteurs! MI5!" :lol:

Some Sultana supporters have since said they've been barred from the conference and said there's a purge underway.

As I say I think there is a generational angle which is  interesting - but generally I just think it'd take a heart of stone not to laugh.
Let's bomb Russia!

Probably. Corbyn was around back when zionism wasn't a toxic ideology, back when there were big left wing links with the kibutz movement and all that.
Sultana is young enough she's only ever known zionism in it's modern sense as the expansionist Israel far right.

But funny to attack Corbyn for not being anti Israel enough when being too pro Palestine and not hard enough on anti semites was a big thing that brought him down.

I am glad their main focus revolves around what truly affects British people.

Richard Hakluyt

They are irrelevant, best not to dwell on them too much unless it gives you entertainment.

See the greens.
I'm loving Polanskis approach of ridiculing woke to focus on actual issues.
