Just watched @zackpolanski.bsky.social speak without fear on
BBC Question Time.

Stuck to his principles and never shrank from saying what needed to be said.

Zack was himself under extreme pressure and I've never been more proud to be a Green.

Where's my rosette at?

I've just finished my night of putting on a film for my local community in our town hall. Couldn't agree more.

Apologies, not trying to bait. The UK is also looking at the 1950s as some kind of utopian world. There were problems then as we have problems now. Sinatra, Hope et al. Springs to mind. CEO'S weren't as over remunerated as they are now.

Whilst it is likely true that cooperations paid a fairer share, the biggest earners (and tax avoiders) were the stars from the entertainment industry. I'm also wondering about equality back in the States in the 1950s.

Other than a rise in prosperity for one segment of the US in the 1950s, I'm not sure I understand why it was at its finest?

Something is shifting with the Greens, long overdue, and the change we need.

We have recently installed solar panels on the local community hall. It has made a massive change for the chances of our survival.

USA: Remember.
You lost your nation in 2024.
Everything after that moment will show your demise.
For ALL the world to see.

You sold out to Citizens United.
And corporations governing the world is a BAD idea.
That's greed ruling the world.

FUCK YOU.
