Earlier today a racist troll posted posted an anti immigration rant on here.
I managed to remove it within about 20 minutes of it being posted because I was on line, and permabanned them.
Following this, they then DMed one of our regular users, challenging them to a ‘debate’. They then screenshotted the subsequent back and forth and posted it on a far right subreddit, where it’s had a fair bit of traffic.
As moderators we will try and keep this as safe a place as possible, and immediately ban or remove any hateful content or users. A lot of trolls target this community, and we have a zero tolerance policy for that behaviour.
But outside the sub we obviously can’t control what goes on. So I would recommend in the case of any future trolling that users here:
Report the post ASAP so the mods can see it. We get notified directly if there enough reports flagging it, so it’s really important everyone reports serious rule breaks so we can get to them more quickly
Don’t take the bait - trolls and bigots thrive on engagement and you may make yourself a target
If they try and engage via DMs block and report directly to the Reddit admins.
Always flag to us if you are receiving any abuse or harassment from content on here and we will take any necessary steps to ensure this a safe space for all.
Thanks all, and have a good weekend!

This is an alternate motion to Zionism is Racism, born out of attempts to reach a compromise and/or consensus between G4P and JGs. The language is notably softer in parts compared to ZiR, but it removes a lot of the internally contentious rhetoric.

Interesting to see someone actually model what the results would look like with current polls.

You might want to tone it down a little but Andy needs to know this information if he hasn't already. If he has a spine he will respond to a local resident.
Hi Andy.
As a [insert identifier] seeing Wes Streeting in any kind of ministerial role under your government is disgusting. That might sound like an overreaction but I want to prove that it isn't. I will now share evidence backing up the reason why I've made this statement.
None of this information has been covered in mainstream news or even across most independent outlets. The only person who has covered parts of it is PhilosphyTube who won an Amnesty UK award for their work.

I recently looked at the Instagram page of 'Greens for Palestine' and saw the following:
- Resharing of a speech by David Icke decrying 'Rothschild Zionism'. Icke is a Holocaust denialist who has previously endorsed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
- A collaborative post with the 'Anti-Zionist Movement' (AZM), which is led by Rahmeh Aladwan and David Miller. Both (especially the former) have a track record of making antisemitic remarks
- Describing accusations of antisemitism against Green local elections candidates as "smears". I don't deny some may have been, but many Green candidates were found to have made unambigiously bigoted remarks (e.g. describing attacks on synagogues as "revenge")
As someone who is both anti-Zionist and against all forms of bigotry, it really breaks my heart to see this. It's possible to oppose the Gaza genocide, the occupation, and Zionist apartheid without veering into antisemitism, yet Greens for Palestine have not done this. The fact that one of its co-chairs has been elected co-chair of the Young Greens makes the situation even worse.
To be honest, the organisation's conduct warrants some kind of disciplinary action, or at the least condemnation from Polanski & co.

The decision to start drilling again in Rosebank and Jackdaw. Both owned by private companies, sold on the international market that historically have produced no tax benefits whilst generating a tiny amount of jobs. Rosebank is even partnered with Ithaca Energy which is majority owned by the Delek Group (An Israeli owned energy company).
The decision to appoint Wes Streeting as the defence secretary. The man who helped destroy trans rights in the UK whilst accepting 60% of his political donations from private healthcare companies, allowing Palantir to continue operating in the NHS despite claims that the software was slow and unreliable anyway. This man has just been appointed defence secretary, one of the most important roles in government at the moment.
Yvette Cooper has just been appointed Health Secretary. The lady who decided to justify proscribing Palestine action within weeks of celebrating the suffragettes. The irony is not lost on that one. This person will now be in charge of the NHS. A person arguably more problematic than even Wes Streeting. On December 2024 a private meeting took place between three Elbit Systems representatives and three officials from the Home Office working under Yvette Cooper.
Mahmood is obviously remaining in her position. As a reminder she wants us to "live in an AI panopticon of surveillance". Was definitely an interesting choice of words when she said it. Especially considering she has repeatedly defended the extended rollout of facial recognition cameras, completely ignoring the risks in them identifying protestors.
Our favourite transphobic MP Bridget Phillipson is still the Minister for Women and Equalities which is going to cause further headaches for transgender people.
All of this screams of someone who has not been paying attention to what's actually happening in the UK. The last thing we need is another moderate who says one thing and does another.
Obviously he has scrapped digital ID but it doesn't matter now because the damage is done and the Android operating system is about to lock down everyone’s phone in September, requiring an ID. Scrapping dury trial is still on the cards and there are still not proper plans to ban arms exports to Israel. No discussions on sanctions either.
The decision to focus on ending rough sleeping is interesting considering the amount of rough sleepers has continued to rise in Manchester over the past few years. It should also be noted he decided to trust a private contractor to build apartments that had a council house quota attached. The man who built these just decided to flee to the cayman islands the moment he was required to build these council houses.
