Vote Green in Gorton and Denton

Oh FFS. Here we go again with the rotten core of the British establishment brazenly shielding its own from the real horrors they’ve inflicted.

In capitalist Britain, power protects predators.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — the nonce formerly known as “Prince” — gets hauled in on his 66th birthday for “misconduct in public office,” a typically slimy, bureaucratic catch-all that basically comes down to him leaking some trade secrets to his paedo pal Jeffrey Epstein back when he was playing trade envoy.

It’s a charge that might land him in a cushy cell for life in theory, but we all know it’ll end in a slap on the wrist, a quiet settlement, or some sausage-fingered royal intervention to make it vanish like those military titles did some years ago.

Call me a cynic, but this appears to be a deliberate sidestep by the police and the Crown to avoid the elephant in the room — sweaty Andrew’s well-documented alleged abuse of Epstein’s underage victims.

Think about it, the old bill has dusted off some ancient misconduct law about sharing memos with a dead sex trafficker, instead of charging him with the rape, exploitation, and paedophilic predation that’s staring them in the fucking face.

It’s class war, motherfuckers

From where I’m standing, this reeks of class warfare at its most disgustingly insidious. The ruling elite get to play by an entirely different set of rules. While poor and working class people rot in prison for something like petty theft, selling a bit of pot, or protesting against genocide, these billionaire parasites dodge accountability for systemic abuse.

At what point do we consider revolution to be a just and necessary course of action? Personally, I don’t think 99% of Britain has the balls for anything like that.

The French had the right idea, and I don’t mean tractor blockades but the guillotine blades dished up to their parasitic royals in the late 1700’s, shortly before Reform UK’s founding conference.

Okay, maybe we don’t need to see literal heads rolling into a crested wicker basket. There are still plenty of uninhabited islands where we can drop off the predatory elites, or better still, feed the Great White Shark population with some billionaire nonces.

See, I’d make a fucking great Secretary of State for Justice.

Nobody actually believes this is law enforcement, do they? Surely they also think it’s a grubby cover-up, a way to placate the public with a performative bust while ensuring the nonce never faces the full weight of his depravity?

My position on the British monarchy isn’t complicated and couldn’t be any clearer. Let’s get every single skeleton out of the closet, including the already-dead Duke of Kent, return the jewels, seize the estates and seek justice for the victims of the predatory elite. Let’s drag every single complicit aristocrat into court for their actual crimes against humanity, rather than tiptoe around naming the paedophiles and their enablers in statements, treating them like fragile glass instead of the filth that they are.

Meanwhile, let’s go after the Greens

I put the radio on in the car earlier, fully expecting to hear a heated debate between royalists and republicans. A former Prince being arrested is pretty big news, after all, even if it is no different to a serial killer being arrested for a minor assault.

Instead, they were discussing the Green Party’s position on the legalisation of drugs.

Funnily enough, I originally planned to write a thousand-word piece on why a Green victory in Gorton and Denton would be a victory for common decency, the British left, and bigger boobs for the many, but along came the misconduct distraction, and here I am, distracted.

Anyway, Gorton and Denton…

Be in no doubt, the Greens absolutely must crush it in the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday. This isn’t an ordinary by-election as the Green candidate, Hannah Spencer must not only smash the rotting facade of Starmer’s Labour betrayal, but also block the fascist-adjacent Reform UK from poisoning the well.

Labour and Reform must lose the Gorton and Denton by-election.

Hannah Spencer, a no-nonsense local plumber and councillor, is my kind of candidate. She’s not some polished elite, she’s from the trenches, pushing for public energy ownership to slash bills and reclaim profits from offshore fat cats.

A two-horse race

The Labour Party cannot win this election. Their best hope was with Andy Burnham, but they blocked him from standing, rigging their own NEC to protect Starmer’s cushy Westminster bubble, prioritising party machine hacks like Angeliki Stogia over actual fighters for the people.

This is a two-horse-race between the Greens and Reform UK. The Greens, under Zack Polanski, are surging as the true anti-Reform bulwark and the myth of Labour Party invincibility has been well and truly shattered.

While the emergence of the new Reform splinters such as Restore and Advance are likely to have damaging implications for the Farage party in the long term, here and now, the red part of Gorton and Denton need to do the right thing, and vote Green.

The choice really couldn’t be any clearer. Enable the far-right with a vote for a discredited, deceased Labour Party, or deliver a seismic, historic victory for the left.

Vote Green, please

On the off-chance of a Labour voter in Gorton and Denton reading this now, please, put party preference to one side and get behind the Green candidate. And if you don’t like her, you’ll have the chance to vote her out in three years.

Will you have that chance if your constituency becomes a solid base for Farage photo-ops for weeks to come? Do you really want to see that fucking horrible piece of shit in every supermarket, pub and petrol station forecourt while you’re just trying to get the school run done, just because there’s something you don’t quite like about Polanski?

If the people want to send a clear message to Keir Starmer, the only vote to consider is for Hannah Spencer and the Greens.

Any other vote is an endorsement of Reform UK and their super-rich string pullers, and that revolution I mentioned earlier — however it may look — will get buried under Reform’s boot and it will be full steam ahead for Farage’s hateful mob to metastasize nationwide, dragging us toward a dystopia of borders, bosses, and yet more bigotry.

Vote Green.
