As per my other response. The scale is far different. If the criticism was proportional to the alleged wrongdoing, all this would be buried. You just can't compare racism to saying something stupid on social media.
I suppose degrees of wrongness would always be technically subjective, but the difference is so stark it's not really worth arguing about; being corrupt to the core, a fascist, serial liar, or worse, are things that simply don't compare to saying something wrong on social media. The intent of the press is clear as day, they want to specifically hurt the Green Party in the local election, that's why there's this timing.
This isn’t true. As I said in my other comment, the reason you know about the many corrupt and lying right wing politicians is that the press inform you.
The scale is far, far different. If the criticism was proportional to the alleged wrongdoing, then all this about Polanski would be a needle buried deep in a haystack.
I have synesthesia and it's always been turquoise (green/blue) to me. Interesting how many people seem to agree with me since I thought it would be pretty individual.
I'm a big fan of GNOME for the opposite reason, I like the default workflow and use it completely vanilla. If you're going to tweak it you may as well use KDE, but the vanilla GNOME workflow is actually pretty great if you embrace it fully as it is.
EDIT: Polanski has now apologised, so he’s implicitly acknowledged he was wrong to make the criticism.
I bet that's going to be tomorrow's story that loosely ties the Green Party to antisemitism, I expect the newspapers will go hard with it in a way they wouldn't with Reform or any other party. Expecting this to be blown out of all proportion in fact, that's what happened with Corbyn, Ken Livingstone before that. It's so predictable. Happens to everyone deviating from Thatcherite economics within a shout of power.
Lots of very serious things going on in the world and they've put this right near the top for the best part of today, an editor chose to focus on this for one reason or another, right?
Looks like they've started to roll out the full tactics that were used against Corbyn now, right in time for the local election. I'm calling it, every day now we'll be drip-fed a new article making some connection or other, of varying degrees of seriousness, between the Green party and antisemitism.
Seems strange to me as well, I thought they were talking about ground coffee but apparently not. Why would you keep it? It will be awful even if it's technically safe.
For me, whether it was officially retracted or not there are plenty of options that don't come with the potential fascist endorsement so I'll just go with one of them instead.
I had thought of that but surely we didn't all have the same alphabet magnets.
