The Greens not so Green after all?
The Deputy Leader of the Green Party since last September is Mothin Ali. According to the Times newspaper, he supported the Hamas attacks of October 2023 on Israel:
Ali was elected as a Green Party councillor in May last year. During his victory speech he promised to “raise the voice of Palestine” while in office and shouted “Allahu akbar”. He later apologised for those comments.
His social media history also revealed that he had supported the attacks on October 7, 2023, in a post defending the right of “indigenous people to fight back”.
The Sunday Times
"Polanski’s deputy, Mothin Ali, makes YouTube videos in a Palestine beanie teaching viewers ‘how to cut down trees for profit’. He’s a vehement supporter of a motion at this weekend’s online conference declaring that ‘Zionism is racism’. Other motions up for debate, which have gone unreported until now, call for the demolition of London City airport, ending ‘gender-based blanket bans in sport’ and leaving Nato."

I am Critical of Criticism
People should only criticise when they have a better solution. Criticism alone is not helpful, it's harmful. Unlike non democratic countries, people here are free to speak their minds so long as they don't incite violence. People seem to be increasingly critical of our way of life and the problem is that when you hear it every day from so many people, it can really affect what you think.
More recently, Brits and French people who have moved to the Middle East for better lifestyles and lower taxes have been heavily critical of the British and French governments' efforts to get them 'home' following the outbreak of war. A service for which they no longer pay. Justified?
