Ladies and gentleman I give you the Greens! Mad as a box of frogs!

They could well do Svejk, do you think they feel wanted here?.
We treat them like Fosters lager :-)

[BlackadderV]

Surely that's against the Geneva Convention

[jim360]

I might have sympathised with her if she'd stuck to "it shouldn't be illegal to express an opinion in support of terrorism," because thought crime isn't really a thing. Possibly. But she's gone way too far.

Still, at least it's a genuinely different position from any other part so gives the voters a choice.

[Svejk]

and our 'ooman rights'.

[1ozzy]

Probably is BAv, please don't "dob us in".

[Svejk]

They say you can't under-estimate (or is it over-estimate?) the stupidity of the electorate. We'll soon find out.

Some years ago my club changed its brand of lager to Foster's. A member said to the steward, "You're taking the ***", to which the steward replied, "no, we're not taking it, we're selling it"

[jim360]

Foster's ads often said "think Australian, drink Australian". Before noting in the small print that it was "brewee in the UK".

[Svejk]

can't over-estimate, never under-estimate. (I think, ;))

[Svejk]

can't over-estimate, never under-estimate. (I think, ;))

[jim360]

Brewed, dammit.

[BlackadderV]

The only thing to be said in favour of Foster's lager is that it wasn't Harp lager, for those who are old enough to remember it.

[1ozzy]

The best thing about Fosters lager is....
.....um.....er......
well...
....still thinking...

[Vicasso]

I recall that a New Zealand prime minister was asked to comment on the emigration of New Zealanders to Australia.
He replied that it was a good thing as it raised the average IQ of both nations.

[1ozzy]

That's probably correct Vicasso.

jim, //"it shouldn't be illegal to express an opinion in support of terrorism," because thought crime isn't really a thing.//

Once a thought is expressed, it is no longer simply a thought. If these people want to make to legal to express support for our enemies, I can’t really see how we can continue to deem any expression of thought in current ‘no go’ areas illegal.

Synonyms and related words for this sense of green
Having little experience or a low level of education: inexperienced, uneducated, untrained, unqualified, illiterate, uninitiated, unskilled, untried, be unused to (doing) something,

Very appropriate.

[Svejk]

^Very, Danny. Surely no-one over 20 would vote for these weirdos.

[jim360]

I suppose not, Naomi. Perhaps a phase should come where views that we now label as racist or what have you should -- well, still carry that label, but not before the law and only in an open debate.

At any rate, the idea that membership of a terrorist organisation should ever be OK is bizarre and taking libertarianism to an extreme.

And where is Gromit, our resident green? Would love to see his comments.

This woman is very clearly deranged.
