GrumpyOldFart
I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Key Takeaways:
- Green Party members voted 1,022 to 813 to adopt a motion stating that Zionism, as defined in the policy, should be treated as racism.
- The policy supports Palestinian liberation, the right of return, BDS, a full arms embargo and one democratic state across historic Palestine.
- Four of the party’s five MPs opposed the motion, while Israel responded by barring Green leader Zack Polanski from entering the country”
