I’m wary because the level of crazy I witnessed in my brief time as a member was high! So when he talks about leaving NATO I worry he’s a plausible loon - but the reporting on his positions seems so Gotcha! already that I also no longer trust it. Waiting to see.
What gets me is that he's actually called Dave. I get changing your last name to reflect your heritage but why would anyone call themselves Zack unless they were showing off? More ego than eco.
It’s not like “Dave” has a great recent history in UK politics
I think he changed it when he was an actor/hypnotherapist, but feels like bad faith for a politician. Writers are different....
Hah :) Well. I don’t really mind about the name thing; I definitely do care if he’s bonkers. I’m sooooo tired of the hope/yikes cycle
I'm a Labour bod not a green , but had a lot of respect for Ellie Chowns . She is definitely not bonkers...
The party has grown and matured a lot over the last decade. Its current incarnation might well not match with your previous experience.
So I’m told! Crossing my fingers.
I think as James says, the hypnotits story tells you all you need to know about him bsky.app/profile/jame...
Ech. I got taken to task over reposting that story, and I think probably rightly. The full version is stupid but a lot less discreditable, IIRC. As I said: waiting.
Nah. All politicians pander. It's what they DO.
We make them like that. If they all spoke truthfully, most of them would be cancelled by large groups of society.
