I had a delightful day in Hay on Wye yesterday visiting a specialist bookshop in order to get a present for a relative. On the way into Hay, probably about five miles or so from the Town itself, I noticed that there were a plethora of election posters calling for people to vote for the local Green Party candidate. As an aside I noticed that these Green posters were adorning some very very posh and upmarket properties as if to underline the fact that support for the Greens is generally not coming from Britain’s hard pressed working classes or the striving lower middle classes, but from the upper middle class and the quasi aristocracy who would without a doubt be shielded by their own personal wealth, from the disastrous policies that the Green Party espouses.

But do those who call on others to vote Green even know what the party is up to or the sort of Mosleyite light (or worse) candidates that the Greens are not just putting up but getting behind?

An article in the Times newspaper has shown that the Green Party appears to be incredibly relaxed about promoting the sort of candidate whose views about Jews would not have been out of place in the National Front of the 1970’s. The Times article claimed that Green Party candidates in this General Election have variously claimed that they support Hamas as ‘the resistance’, have dismissed complaints about Jew hatred and that on the 7^th October 2023 Israel not Hamas attacked, murdered and carried off into captivity Jews and others.

Those who might be tempted to vote Green because of their claims of support for the environment might do well to read the Times article and see just exactly what sort of extremist nutcase the Greens are reckoning would make good political representatives for their area. It used to be the case that a vote for the Greens was a vote for incompetent economic management and energy policy but now it seems a vote for the Greens is also a vote for the shade of Oswald Moseley.

Here’s the archived article in question from The Times
