🇵🇸Greg … Proud Anti-Zionist & Proud Antifa

She got absolutely everything she wanted from that interview. It's naive in the extreme to believe that Kuensberg & the BBC are engaged in a disinterested exercise in discovering the truth. They are constructing a truth that sustains the status quo. Stategically, the Greens should be using high-profile interviews like this to disrupt, expose, question and unsettle the status quo; to express and highlight the multiple contradictions of our absurd moment. This interview did the opposite, casting rupture as "divisive" and anathema to "core" Green values, and giving the manufacturers of the status quo tools to undermine a new politics. Ramsay was either foolish or disingenuous if he believed it was a neutral forum to begin a discussion, as his answers gave them everything they needed to shout about entryism, Polanksi's "divisive politics", hard-left scaremongering and the threat of a future leadership challenge. He either knew what he was doing or he is a staggering naif. Either way, unless his intention is to beat down the membership through media pressure, this intervention will do nothing to help the Party navigate a tough moment, and only helps those forces that want to put the Greens back in their box. It means the Greens are having an internal fight online today instead of preparing to raise hell about Mahmood's new immigration plans today. My sense, btw, is that those who are sympathetic to Polanski should politely acknowledge Ramsay's concerns and move on. There's no need to rise to provocation..This isn't the Labour Party. There isn't a bureaucracy and nevertheless structure that means he can do anything more than carp. It will only help the right wing media if people call for him to be expelled or worse, as they will report on the cruel violence of the Green hard-left.
