@Nickiquote Why does the "Beware the Green Menace" sign in the middle remind me of Nazi propaganda posters from the 30s?
I also wonder how adopting policies that focus on real world harm reduction, instead of creating a fostering environment for black markets counts as pro-drugs.

I've seen variants of this trope circulating in various European countries since the 90s. -

@Nickiquote Time once again to tap the 'there's no such thing as illegal migration unless the migrant has individually been found to have breached a law and then failed to leave the country within the designated period' sign. Someone who arrives here irregularly will have their case assessed and the majority are given leave to remain, etc etc etc.
Still, if the Mail are terrified of the Greens, that must be a good sign, right? They wouldn't have bothered otherwise.

@RolloTreadway They are terrified, and it’s great.

Doesn't it ever make people feel small to be this easy to rile up?
Like this is so ham handed. It's that "he might take your cookie, mate!" meme.
Maybe I have too much faith in people, but even if they have ideas about immigration I don't agree with ... shouldn't it feel bad to see people being so obvious in their manipulation. IDK.
I suppose it might be easier to see with the distance of an ocean between myself and this paper. We do of course have it over here too.
@futurebird @Nickiquote I wonder the same thing all the time! And this paper has been doing it for *decades.* The entire time I lived in London, you couldn't get in a black cab without the driving immediately reeling off Daily Heil headlines at you, and then preening themselves on their quality cockney cab banter

@Nickiquote can we throw some drugs in as well? Maybe free gym?

@Nickiquote but imagine having such a void skull between the ears! The lightness! The peace, the limitless self-esteem, never to be interrupted by doubt... I envy them SO much.

This, apparently, although the Mail are not publishing the apparently secret policy document so you can read it for yourself.
@Nickiquote the weird thing is how views have diverged so far that people take opposite meanings from the same thing
Their article includes a video of Zack being perfectly normal and reasonable in a way that presumably gets DM readers riled up in anger

@Nickiquote oh fuck right off daily mail. And the donkey you rode in on.
@capnthommo @Nickiquote I'm really not sure they've thought through the impact of tagging the Greens as pro porn and pro drugs, I suspect there's a strong segment of their readership who will respond with "how do I vote for the pro drugs pro porn party?"

@Nickiquote Surprised that the Daily Fail aren’t pro-porn because that “article” is a load of wank. 🤮

@anominominominous The Daily Mail specialise in synthesising moral panics and they are not subtle about their intention to do so, down to aping old moral panic terms like “Red Menace”.

Ah, I'm not from the UK, but unfortunately I know the good old Daily (giggles) Fail

@Nickiquote is the "pro-drugs and porn" meant to be consumed together? Does paracetamol count?

Sounds good to me.

In very simplistic terms, I think a Green win in Gorton and Denton tomorrow would surely be the best option overall.
Starmer could get the boot as a result and in any case Labour might start trying to appeal to the left rather than endlessly chasing racists who would rather vote for full-throated fascism anyway.
A Reform win would be very bad news, of course, and a Labour win would only be seen as support for the miserable status quo and a “vote for fascism lite” message.
