You apologised to Corbyn & admitted that Anti-Semitism Had Been Weaponised – Yet Today You Are Doing the Same

Greens disgraced by suspension
Dear Zack,
When you apologised
to Jeremy Corbyn for saying that no Jew could vote Labour and said that complaints
of anti-Semitism were weaponised to damage him and that
lots and lots of examples.. (are) very clearly criticism of the Israeli government and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and isn’t anti-Semitism.”
it was as if the heavens had fallen in. When you doubled down and said that there was a ‘perception of unsafety’ among British Jews, the Zionist lobby went apoplectic.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism spoke of its ‘shock’ that you’d said that the antisemitism allegations against Corbyn “were essentially bogus.”
Jake Wallis Simons, ex-Jewish Chronicle Editor & Soft Porn Novelist Says Polanski is the Foremost Exponent of Antisemitism
The Jewish Chronicle was as bad. Former
editor Stephen Pollard called you a ‘court Jew’. Another former editor, Jake Wallis Simons
said you
were ‘"probably British politics foremost mouthpiece for antisemitism’.
Polanski is 'probably British politics foremost mouthpiece for antisemitism', says JWS, and yet were we to look for a single instance of this 'antisemitism', we would find nothing at all.

They did the same with Corbyn.
I doubt they'll get away with it twice.#ItWasAScam https://t.co/mzAYvQcvxu
The fact that you are
Jewish is no bar to attacks by the Zionists and their supporters in the British
media. The Daily Mail, which supported
Hitler in the 30s and campaigned against the admission of Jewish refugees from
Nazi Germany, is to the fore in these attacks.
Polanski on BBC Breakfast TV Accepts the 'Antisemitism' Narrative Instead of Challenging the Framing
I am therefore
surprised that you now seem to be backtracking and repeating all Corbyn’s errors.
On BBC
Breakfast, when challenged about newspaper reports of anti-Semitism in the
Green Party [GP] the first thing you should have done is to ask why the same racist
Islamophobic press are concerned about anti-Semitism but no other form of
racism.

You failed to point out the history of these ‘anti-Semitism’ attacks in the Labour Party and how it led to the support for genocide of Keir Starmer. You are in danger of taking the same path as Corbyn. There is no appeasing Zionism and the genocide supporting BBC.
Saying ‘one anti-Semite
is one too many’ is the same trite slogan that Tom Watson and Corbyn mouthed.
How about one Islamophobe or one racist is too many? How about using the
opportunity to call out racist attacks on asylum seekers?
Was it too much to say to the BBC that it is no
coincidence that the GP is being attacked as ‘anti-Semitic’ because of its
stance on Palestine? That just as ‘anti-Semitism’ disappeared as soon as
Corbyn, a noted Palestine supporter, was expelled, so it is your statements on
Palestine that are behind these ‘anti-Semitism’ attacks.
No-one was more pleased than me when you overwhelmingly defeated the conservative Establishment Greens, Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay last year. Under them the GP had adopted the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism which labelled opponents of Zionism as ‘anti-Semitic’.
These smears won't work.

1) Lecturing the only Jewish party leader on alleged antisemitism in his party looks batshit to most people.
2) You were forced to apologise over antisemitism.
3) Everyone knows you're trying to weaponise antisemitism for party political reasons. https://t.co/1b8M6RVQQW pic.twitter.com/2ENGeE9ZCv
Particularly welcome was your willingness to do what no other party leader was willing to do and that was to call Israel’s holocaust in Gaza a genocide.
Nothing has been more shameful than the refusal to name
the murder of
hundreds of thousands of people as genocide. The destruction of 90% of
buildings, the deliberate
starvation of its population, the flour
massacre and killing of starving people queuing for food and the ecocide
– the deliberate destruction of agriculatural land. All of this is a genocide as
per the Genocide
Convention.
In August 2024 Mark Smith, a Foreign Office Official
resigned. His resignation
statement said
that that:
“Ministers claim that the UK has one of the most
‘robust and transparent’ arms export licensing regimes in the world, however
this is the opposite of the truth.”
Every single
international human rights organisation – Amnesty
International, Human
Rights Watch, Israel’s own B’tselem
and Physicians for
Human Rights, the Association
of Genocide Scholars and the Lemkin
Institute, named after Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term ‘genocide’, has
called this out as a Genocide. Yet Starmer, Lammy and Cooper have instead closed
the Foreign Office unit that collates information on Israel’s human rights
abuses.
As a fully
cleared officer raising serious concerns of illegality in this Department, to
be disregarded in this way is deeply troubling. It is my duty as a public servant to raise this.

— Stand Up To Racism (@AntiRacismDay) November 3, 2025
Having failed to attack you as a Jew, the
billionaire press and their Zionist friends decided that they would employ the
same smear campaign that they had run so successfully against Jeremy Corbyn in
the Labour Party.
The sharks are circling and you face two choices –
either you appease the supporters of genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing
or you face them down. If you do the former you will end up either like Corbyn
or neutered politically.
Appeasing Zionism is like expecting the lamb to lie
down with a ravenous wolf. Supporters of Zionism are not open to reason because
genocidal racism has no rationale or reason apart from the ‘logic’ of ethnic
cleansing.
So when you said you were being ‘nuanced’ in
differentiating between different forms of Zionism you were equivocating and
retreating, trying to reconcile the irreconcilable.
Historically all varieties of Zionism agreed on a
Jewish Supremacist state. They differed only on how to achieve it.
Today Labour Zionism is all but dead. The far right
have an overwhelming majority in Israel’s Knesset. Even the supporters of Brit
Shalom, Zionism’s peace wing ended
up supporting a Jewish State. Many, like Arthur Ruppin and Chaim Kalvarisky, aimed
to persuade the Arabs to peacefully accept Zionist colonisation. Brit Shalom disappeared in 1933,
never having had more than 100 supporters. It was the ideas of Jabotinsky, the
founder of Revisionist Zionist (now Likud) and his essay The Iron Wall
which won out.
My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. I suggest that they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent.
The native populations, civilised or uncivilised, have always stubbornly resisted the colonists, irrespective of whether they were civilised or savage.
And it made no difference whatever whether the colonists behaved decently or not..
Those who fondly remember the Cultural Zionism of Ahad Ha'am, who died in 1927, are clinging to an illusion. Zionism was a settler colonial movement whose goal was a Jewish majority. That meant ethnic cleansing and the Nakba.
When ethnic cleansing is not sufficient then
genocide takes over, as in Gaza. The same was true in Hitler’s Germany. The
Nazis made every effort to expel Germany’s Jews from 1933‑39 but when that
failed about a
third were killed.
Zionism is the guiding ideology of the Israeli
state. There are numerous Zionist organisations, most of them under the
umbrella of the World Zionist Organisation.
Zionism is not what is inside the head of some
fragrant teenager with an identity crisis from Golders Green. Zionism is what
is done to the Palestinians.
Israeli nationalists chant 'death to Arabs' during procession through Jerusalem
Zionism has inevitably meant the dehumanisation of the Palestinians. In the words of Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, they are human animals the same phrase that Himmler, the architect of the Final Solution called the Jews.
Any ethno-religious state will seek to ‘purify’ the
nation of non-believers. That inevitably means that anyone of a different
religion will be an untermenschen. Today
in Israel mobs chant
‘death to the Arabs’. In the 1930s
mobs used to chant similar
slogans calling for the death of Jews.
Palestinian Children are Barred by Soldiers from School in Masser Yaffa on the West Bank
In Gaza thousands have been murdered in the
cruellest ways possible. The enforced
starvation is reminiscent of the Nazi
starvation of the Jewish ghettos of Poland. The running
over of thousands of people by tanks – ‘everything
squirts out’ testified one soldier Guy Zakan.
The burying of children alive by bulldozers as
American Jewish Dr Perlmutter testified to. The refusal
by Israel to admit painkillers so that Palestinian children had to undergo
painful amputations without anaesthetic. The bombing of tent
encampments outside hospitals
and in so-called safe areas such as Masawari and the burning alive of
children and their parents in those tents.
Israel’s VILEST Crime Yet - The Evidence Is Overwhelming
There is no abomination that Israel is not capable
of. Alsatian dogs have been trained
to rape prisoners in the torture camp of Sde Teiman. This horror first surfaced
in Pinochet’s Chile under Ingrid Olderock, a
descendant of Nazis and herself a Nazi.
The Use of Rape by Israel as a Weapon of War
The Suspension of Green Party Candidates
None of this prevents the GP’s Zionists such as Elise
Benjamin and Andrée
Friez from defending Israel and accusing their opponents of
‘anti-Semitism’.
What is animating ‘anti-Semitism’ is the perceived
support of Jews for Genocide in Gaza. It is the Board of Deputies, which claims
that it represents all Jews, whose support for Genocide is such that it punished
the few dissidents in its ranks, which fuels anti-Semitism.
Naturally such claims cause political confusion as many
people then believe that Jews are to blame for the Genocide. Who can blame them?
Not everyone understands the difference between Zionism and being Jewish or
that those responsible are the Western governments that supply the weapons that
enable the genocide.

Most if not all the social media posts that are
being singled out misspeak at worst. They are not anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitism is not opposition to Israel or
Zionism, however badly expressed. It is hostility or prejudice against Jews as
Jews. The OED
definition.
Unless there is concrete proof that a GP candidate
is genuinely hostile to Jews as Jews or espouses holocaust denial then they
should not be called anti-Semitic or barred from standing. You, Zack, have a
duty as a Jewish person, to stand up for the mainly Black or Asian candidates
who are being hounded by the feral British press and the racist anti-Palestinian
Jewish Chronicle.

because they are not racists.

Many prominent Greens like Laura Eccott are strong

continue to be suspended then your own commitment to oppose the Genocide will
be called into question. ‘Anti-Semitism’ is the go to weapon of supporters of
Genocide.

I’M STICKING With The GREEN PARTY Despite Them SUSPENDING My HUSBAND
The Case of Mark Adderley
The case
of Mark Adderley is a prime example of a false accusation of anti-Semitism.
Mark was the target of The Times and the anti-Semitic,
Steve Reed MP. If words mean anything then Mark must be reinstated. His charge
sheet read as if it was written by Netanyahu.
The basis of the decision to suspend Mark were 9
categories of social media posts and screenshots. They have nothing to do with
anti-Semitism. The racist jerk who compiled this McCarthyist tract, should be suspended
not Mark Adderley.
Charge
No: 1 - ‘Propagated conspiracy theories that war criminal Netanyahu worked
for Jeffery Epst ein.’
Epstein was clearly running
a honey trap, enticing public figures in sexual scandal and blackmail. See for
example US media barely touches Epstein links with
Israeli intelligence.
Epstein was close to Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, his girlfriend.
It
is a fact that Maxwell worked for Israeli Intelligence which is why he had the equivalent
of an Israeli state funeral. But even if Mark is wrong, what the fuck has this
got to do with anti-Semitism?

Charge No: 2 - Propagated conspiracy theories online
suggesting that all members of the Labour Government were receiving bribes from
Israel.
It would be interesting to know who in the Labour
government hasn’t received money from
a Zionist donor such as Trevor
Chinn? But what has this got to do
with anti-Semitism? Once again Israel is not a Jew.
Charge
No: 3 - Called Labour MP's "Fuckwads in ties".
Fuckwad I am told means a ‘contemptible, obnoxious, or foolish person’. It seems reasonable description of most Labour MPs but again it is not anti-Semitic.
Charge
No: 4 – Propagated conspiracy theories online. suggesting that NATO was
"instrumental" in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This is where the ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign leads. To
an attack on freedom of speech. The idiot who drew up this charge has clearly
never heard of Professor John Mearsheimer of
Chicago University nor Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire. This is no
conspiracy theory. The US funded far-right militias to the tune of £5 billion the
2014 colour revolution in Ukraine which overthrew the elected President Yanukovych.

5: - Made antisemitic comments comparing Israel to Nazi Germany.
There is nothing anti-Semitic about comparing Israel
to Nazi Germany. Was Israel Shahak, former Professor at the Hebrew University
and a child survivor of the Warsaw ghetto and Belsen concentration camp anti-Semitic
when he said
that ‘the Nazis made me afraid to be a
Jew and the Israelis make me ashamed to be a Jew’?

Was the former Israeli General Amiram Levin who likened
Israel’s military control of the West Bank to Nazi Germany also being
anti-Semitic?
How about Shlomo Shmelzman, a survivor of
the Warsaw Ghetto, who stated
that:
In my
childhood I have suffered fear, hunger and humiliation when I passed from the
Warsaw Ghetto, through labor camps, to
Buchenwald. Today, as a citizen of Israel, I cannot accept the systematic
destruction of cities, towns, and refugee camps… I hear too many familiar
sounds today…. I hear “dirty Arabs” and I remember “dirty Jews.” I hear about
“closed areas” and I remember ghettos and camps. I hear “two-legged beasts” and
I remember “Untermenschen.”… Too many things in Israel remind me of too many
things from my childhood.
According to the racist Green who compiled this
charge sheet Shmelzman is another anti-Semitic holocaust survivor?

There are all too many comparisons that can be drawn
between Israel and Nazi Germany. From the obsession with Jewish racial purity
to the pogroms in the West Bank, the genocide in Gaza to the torture camps and
the 60%
of Israelis who believe the
population of Gaza should be exterminated. Nazi Germany is the benchmark of
human evil and Israel is in close competition.
Synagogue in Tehran ‘completely destroyed’ in US-Israeli attack
Charge 6 - Made
antisemitic comments suggesting that Israel was responsible for terror attacks
against Jews.
This accusation demonstrates why the person who
compiled these charges isn’t fit to be a road sweeper let alone accuse others.
Israel bombed and
destroyed a Teheran synagogue just three weeks ago.
In January 1951 Israeli agents bombed the Masuda Shemtov synagogue in Baghdad. It is widely known and it is covered in a number of books notably Three Worlds by Avi Shlaim, Emeritus Professor at St. Anthony’s College, Oxford University. I guess Ms Eccott or whoever is as distinguished as the foremost historian in Britain of Palestine.
Charge 7: - Propagated conspiracy
theories online suggesting that Charlie Kirk may have been killed by Israel.
I don’t know if there is any truth in this but it
was so widely believed that Netanyahu went
on TV to deny it! Sometimes conspiracies turn out to be true and the fool
who wrote these charges is incapable of distinguishing between a conspiracy and
a conspiracy theory.
Charge 8: - Propagated
conspiracy theories online blaming Israel for the Bondi Beach terror attack.
It would not
be the first time Israel has mounted a false flag attack abroad against Jews.
Either way it isn’t anti-Semitic.
Charge 9: -
Called the UK Home Secretary a "puppet of the Zionist State" and
"Fucking Shameful", as well as adding
"You could seek to soften
your right-wing, fascistic-sympathising, Zionist-f*cking cosying up. Here's
your moment Labour and you're not taking it"
What is the problem with this? It is a matter of opinion. If anyone should
face a disciplinary hearing and be suspended it is the McCarthyite fool who
drew up these charges.
My Own
Suspension from the Green Party
When I joined the Green Party the mass media was
already running with the story that Labour ‘anti-Semites’ were now joining the
GP. First the Jewish Chronicle then The Telegraph did hit pieces on me.
Brighton & Hove GP’s Establishment were also unhappy.
Even before I joined the Green Discussion Group I’d been the subject of
discussion. When I criticised the i360 disaster councillor
Sue Shanks took exception to my remarks:
can we stop Greenstein slagging us off?! Who moderates this??
And then added
‘tony greenstein never agrees with anything. I will publicly defend that administration if needed!
Needless to say moderator Joe Skeaping jumped to attention.
Borrowing £40m in order to fund an elevator to the
sky is a touchy subject given that the Council has to pay £2.2m a year back
until 2040. See my blog.
Skeaping, who is the local party chair removed me
from the Greens Discussion group for questioning the motives of a Zionist who
objected to discussing Palestine and the Iran war. Skeaping did not dissent
from my suggestion that this had been discussed with others prior to my
removal.
Skeaping is currently the subject
of a complaint of bullying by a neurodiverse queer woman and member of the
local Executive, Syra Marshall. Skeaping allegedly retaliated by getting other
members to make a complaint against her getting her suspended - she has had no
chance to defend herself after 3 months.
Further allegations against
Skeaping include deleting messages that should have been handed over following
a Subject Access Request, a criminal offence under s.137 of the Data Protection
Act.
I was suspended on April 16 for 11
words.
Documented history of antisemitism, including court decisions and recent terrorism charges.
Despite sending 10 emails to Rossita Priestly, the
Complaints & Information Governance Officer I received no response. I
therefore decided last weekend to send a letter
to every member of the Green Party Council and finally received an email apologising
for having sent the wrong contact details. They are clearly overworked with all
the other suspensions.
In my letter I explain why I had been suspended on a
lie, in fact two lies. Up till now no one has explained the various forms of
suspension. I am told though that a 4.8
suspension is a fast-track to expulsion.

Your Deputy Mothin Ali is under attack because there is nothing the Zionists hate more than
a Muslim Deputy.
Unless
you speak out against the McCarthyist Witchhunt and use your authority as
leader to put an end to the practice of trawling people’s social media in the
search for any hint of ‘anti-Semitism’ then you will have betrayed those who
voted Green at the Gorton & Denton by-election believing that your
opposition to the Genocide in Gaza was genuine.
You cannot
oppose Genocide in Gaza whilst saying nothing about the Zionist ideology that
motivates it. You cannot run with the Palestinian hares and hunt with the Zionist
hounds.
Anti-Semitism
today is a prejudice not a form of state racism. Nearly all the attacks on Jews
occur because people identify them with the perpetrators of Genocide. Who gives
them this idea? The Zionists who purport
to oppose anti-Semitism.
The
decision is yours as to which path you take. But if the GP continues to target
and suspend Muslim candidates then you can forget their votes. Racism pays few
dividends.

Polanski and Corbyn are capitalist reformists, not revolutionary socialists. They are acting in accordance with their chosen roles in the capitalist system. To demand otherwise is foolish. I suggest you return to socialism a.s.a.p. and perhaps join the Socialist Equality Party.
ReplyDeleteSpot on about Corbyn and Polanski.
DeleteThe idea that everyone who is not a revolutionary socialist is a Zionist is truly bizarre. Thinking like that will not help your cause, or that of the Palestinians.
DeleteNo one said not being a "revolutionary socialist" meant they're zionist, that's a strawman you came up with. The description of Zack and Jeremy being capitalist reformists is accurate though.
Deleteyou are joking. I have never left sociaism but the SEP is worse than useless. It makes a virtue of its purity and isolation. It will never build anything as its too sectarian and economistic too
ReplyDeleteZac, just in case you haven't yet got the message from this powerful letter from Tony, THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE FORM OF ZIONISM. If you do not bow to Zionists 100% they will destroy you.
ReplyDeleteJack, unless the Greens reinstate Tony to full membership, the Greens like Corbyn would have accepted that to criticise Zionism equals anti Semitism and as you correctly state, it would destroy the Green Party.
DeleteBetter, to discipline the member/s that made the complaint against Tony in the first instance.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the complainers are white Zionist.
Yes, agreed Maria, vexatious complaints should be punished with suspension at least.
DeleteHi Tony, I believe it would best to agree that: Zionism as implemented by the State of Israel is racism.
ReplyDeleteThe problem as I see it from the outside, is that they are Zionist that are appalled by the actions of the State of Israel but, still believe in Zionism and the right to a Jewish ethno State. However, this believe doesn't necessarily made them racists.
I am not Jew, but it took me over 50 years to understand that the logical conclusion of implementing Zionism leads to fascism and therefore racism.
Hence, I expect that it could take Jews brought up in the believe that Zionism granted them safety, to take longer to realise that Zionism is their enemy as it can be used against them.
However, the moment you are stating that Zionism is racism they feel personally under attack and then they retaliate. I am afraid matter, that in this case language does matter.
I understand your point of view, and those people should be offered support, counselling, training etc. However they are still responsible for their actions, and the targeted attacks against candidates mentioned above are inexcusable. I'm South African, and I'm not sure people are aware how many white South Africans did not think they were racist, or that many supported segregation but were against the inevitable inequality it creates or how it was implemented. It also made them feel under attack. Should people not have called apartheid racist, and somehow waited until White South Africans felt less defensive? I imagine it would remain an apartheid state to this day had that been the approach.
DeleteTheir is a difference between White South African from white European backgrounds and Jews. White European have never suffer the level of persecution and discrimination that European Jews have endured over centuries.
DeleteAntisemitism is real and antisemitism kills.
At the same time, let us not forget that many South African Jews were fighting in the vanguard against apartheid. Very much like many American Jews were fighting against segregation in America's deep South.
Hence, I believe that rather than engage in equating Zionism with Racism, to equate Zionism as implemented by the State of Israel as racism and fascism. On this basis to call for the dismantlement of Israel as a Zionist ethno State in favour of a One Democratic State from the river to the sea in which all its citizens independent of religion and ethnicity can have equal democratic rights.
Hence, I am not advocating to wait until Zionist Jews realise that Zionism equal racism. Rather, to push ahead for the dismantlement of the State of Israel without the need to call Zionist racists. Emotive language will make things more difficult. What we want is results.
British Jews cannot be made responsible for Israel's crimes whatever they are Zionists or no.
DeleteUnless a British Jew has served in the IDF and directly participate in war crimes, they are not more responsible for Israel's crimes than the average British person.
I agree that for many British Jews the dismantlement of the State of Israel would be very emotional and would be like a form of bereavement.
Hence, the need for reassurance that Britain is their home and that the wide community will protect them.
It is for this reason that anti Semitic attacks need to stop and by anti Semitism, I don't mean stop been critical of Israel.
The State of Israel is a terrorist, racist and fascist state and we should called it for what it is, while at the same time protecting British Jews from anti-Semitism.
I agree Maria, British Jews aren't responsible for what Israel does. The problem is that the Israeli state claims ownership of all Jews. it isn't a state of all its citizens it is a state of the Jewish ''Nation". In other words it commits its crimes in the name of all Jews.
DeleteBecause the Zionists captured the Board of Deputies in 1939 and then rammed through adherence to Zionist doctrines, the body that claims to represent British Jews is associating Jews here with Israel's crimes.
That is the problem.
Those who commit anti-Semitic attacks on Jews in Britain may be doing it out of rage at what Israel does but they should know that they are only helping the Zionists. Ziomism is strengthened not weakened by their stupidity.
Maria, Zio
DeleteMaria, you said "Zionism as implemented by Israel" implying that there is another flavour of Zionism. This is precisely the mess that Zac Polanski has got himself into by either not understanding the true nature of Zionism or by making excuses for Zionists he's close to. Because of his position, Zac is probably the best person in Britain to be able to get the anti Zionism message across in the media, but he has to be committed, and informed enough to do it from a position of strength and conviction. In Tony Greenstein, Zac has a fantastic resource on which to draw, as long as he takes advantage of it quickly before he is overpowered by the Zionist opposition.
I agree, Tony is a fantastic resource to the Greens and Polanski should seek Tony's advice as to how best to deal with both: ultra Zionism and sickening, real anti-Semitism.
DeleteAll the leaderships of the parties of the capitalist state - Labour, Green, YP, SNP, etc - are Zionist. In what sense do I mean this? In that they all support the existence (and its right to exist) of the Zionist state in Palestine. The so-called two-state solution - which is bogus and unviable - is the final refuge of the Zionist scoundrel.
ReplyDeleteThe Zionist State of Israel needs to be dismantled, their engagement in war crimes and genocide means it has forfeit the right to exists.
DeleteA new One Democratic State from the river to the sea in which all its citizens independent of religion or racial origin have equal democratic rights, I believe is the solution.
However, I don't believe equating Zionism with racism is going to get us anywhere near.
I believe it is better to denounce Israel implementation of Zionism that have lead to apartheid and genocide that to equate Zionism with racism.
You're fundamentally right, British Jews aren't responsible or representative of Israel. However, this can be complicated when, following the events in Golders Green, you have every corporate media outlet trying desperately to give credence to the idea that these attacks are linked to pro Palestinian sentiment and locals draping themselves in Israeli flags, not that that justifies attacking people of course.
DeleteThe real context of the Golders Green stabbing incident is;
Delete1. Mental health problems of the assailant. Nothing to do with “race” or “terrorism” or “religion”.
2. Inadequate treatment of that dangerous patient.
3. His early release from treatment against medical advice, due to the inadequate bed space of the NHS (which is now one third of what it was 30 years ago!)
4. Wes Streeting’s ongoing privatisation of the NHS.
5. The fact that the police deal with the mentally ill being “cared for in the community” more than the health service.
6. That this mentally ill man made an attempted murder on another Somalian man 2.5 hrs before the stabbings in Golders Green - and police failed to respond. If they had done, these attacks would not have happened.
7. That all this is being spun as “antisemitism” is an outrage. It is divisive, false and part of the government propaganda war on us, the general public.
