13 April - Turning green at the thought

Green leafletA Green party election leaflet has been added to the archive of such things and it is an entirely policy free zone. The excuse is that the the candidates act independently of the party, in which case why not stand as Independents in an honest fashion rather than hang on to the coat tails of a man famed mainly for tit whispering and dancing with drag queens?

This strikes me as cowardice; hoping to be elected on the transitory Green ascendancy without wishing to be associated with their party’s aspirations.

These include legalising all drugs including date rape potions, nationalising the big five energy suppliers which I suppose will see the end of competition and my five pence a kilowatt hour tariff. Wrecking the economy with a 55 m.p.h. speed limit on motorways when 80 has been shown to be the financially beneficial sweet spot. (The Conservative government sponsored the conclusive study.)

20 m.p.h. in all built up areas which proved to be such a rip roaring success in Wales and wealth taxes to ensure even more millionaires flee the country.

For good measure, halt all fossil fuel projects and build 150,000 new Council houses every year for which there are neither the resources or the skills.

In Longlands and presumably elsewhere the Green candidates may be Independent but they have paid their subscription to an organisation which is undeniably weird. Does anyone believe that they joined up and rose through the ranks but do not support the policies? Do you want to see weirdos running Bexley?

We saw what a protest vote did in July 2024; surely no one wants to be that silly again?
