Zack Polanski condemns weaponisation of Manchester terror attack

WWW.THECANARY.CO

---

Zack Polanski said it's "problematic if someone is trying to weaponise" the Manchester attack to "silence protest against the genocide"

 

now that is quite well articulated 'problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the Manchester attack to silence protest against the genocide'

Well done Zack - only problem is they are only projected to win 5 seats last time I looked. Maybe you can boost them up to 7.

That support of Palestine when everyone is railing against antisemitism is commendable in my view.

The IDF killed hundreds of Palestinians this week, not just two

Greens won't win next election, Reform will get it, most likely. I reckon Greens will do better than expected, though.

Marijuana taxation is one of the hottest policy issues in the United States. Twenty-one states have implemented legislation to legalize and tax recreational marijuana sales.

 

I wouldnt like to see weed legalised in the UK. Ok maybe legalise it but make it illegal to smoke it in public. I have no problem with people smoking it, I did but not for a long long time but these days it fookin stinks to say the least! I can do without going around my day to day business without gagging on the smell of skunk.

Start a new thread with a poll, could be interesting until it descends into chaos!

 

I dunno who I would vote for tbh.

If I do you can open a sweepstake on how many pages it manages before descending to chaos.

 

I'll go in at only 3.

Aye, it would be better if they were smoking decent Morroccan. Far less intrusive to everyone. If you drive into Walker, in Newcastle, the car ends up stinking of weed just by using its vents. 

But, there are medical cannabis users, who are allowed to smoke what they want. So be tolerant.

In Victorian times it was fine to get whacked right out of your skull

Sherlock Holmes, the most famous consulting detective in literature, used occasionally cocaine and morphine to escape, as he said, from “the dull routine of existence.” This was nothing unusual in Victorian times because sale of opium, laudanum, cocaine and morphine was legal. Victorian users took these dangerous drugs as self-medication and as recreation.
