give over - believe it or not, I don't want to stab anyone. That was a hyperbolic expression of my irritation at the ex lib-dems who're now greens posting wide eyed bullshit like they did last last time. You don't figure in that number.
and... you. that doesn't dilute the conspiracy theorists and nutcases that much.
tbf I think there are also a fair number voting Green because, rightly or wrongly, they think they are the most 'old labour' choice out of the main parties.
So am I
Still - disturbing to read, even accepting that I am more sensitive to that word than most.
This.
They're not strikebreaking cunts - you're mistaking them for people who actually took that action.
TBH I'd completely forgotten you were standing, so low key has your campaign been on fb (this is a good thing). I'd have chosen my words with more caution had I remembered - apols if it upset you.
I didn't see a point in putting energy into anything on FB. Saved it for reality, for the area I'm actually standing in.
Caroline Lucas is in Brighton. The south. We are in the North. We don't do shit like that here.Caroline Lucas was picking up rubbish herself during the strike
I voted for them last time around but I'm not this time and it's mostly down to that - they way they behaved here was fucking appalling and there is absolutely no justification for it.

who'd actually looked to be a pretty good Green in many other respects.
Hehe - much has been made by my RL mates about a victory speech littered with fucks
Sure they didn't do something similar when in coalition with the tories running Leeds City council?
No, I'm not, but I AM sure you're just about dying to tell me. So go on - spill.
I don't know if they did anything equivalent to what they did in brighton - though for many joining a coalition with the tories would itself be equivalent. I just thought it was a pretty relevant point to bring up in response to the brushing off of concerns about greens actions when in power on some parochial basis.
I thought you knew something the way you posted. That's certainly what it seemed to suggest.
I certainly didn't say they didn't do anything equivalent in terms of actions (beyond suggesting that forming the coalition itself would be equivalent for many - me included) to what the brighton greens did. But a quick google reveals that they did in fact support the tories (and lib-dems) through a period of violent cuts against the poorest and most vulnerable.
Yes, from what I've read, they did that for two years, then pulled out. I've read that about Chris Rose now, so thanks for bringing it up. Shouldn't make such bold claims should I, in the bear pit? Not defending for a second a coalition which was part of making cuts, though as far as I can read no strikebreaking.
picking up some shit from outside your house isn't strike breaking any more than walking to work when there's a bus strike on is. Had she been collecting commercial waste - the stuff council's actually make money on - then that would have been different. If you've got dirty nappies and needles outside your home, you'd be a feckin idiot not to pick them up.Caroline Lucas was picking up rubbish herself during the strike
