    While voting Green in the local elections is one thing, I have serious concerns that decent, well-meaning people might be deceived into voting Green in a general election. The BBC, Guardian, etc seem to have been giving a prominence to environmental issues recently, and the recent climate protests in London also seem to me to have had a distinctly “Deep State” flavour to them (big prominence of Official LGBT movement, pink boat, identity politics, etc etc). I do wonder whether might be part of a wider plan to split the progressive vote in a general election, thus preventing Corbyn from becoming Prime Minister - which is quite clearly the Establishment’s main concern at present.


    Have you any actual evidence of 'deep state' orchestration? Of course, the voices of the establishment will do their best to co-opt and neutralise this latest manifestation of 'environmental concern'. They have been doing that for years. In Extinction Rebellion I rather see a genuine concern, not to say desperation, about the continued failure to do anything substantive about climate change.


    I don’t know what other people’s thoughts are, but I have always found Caroline Lucas to be a distinctly suspect character. NGO background, polished, and managerial - if she really cared about the environment, surely her strategy for a general election would be to encourage people to vote for Corbyn? I have strong suspicions she may be a security services asset.

    Strong suspicions? Any real evidence? Seems unlikely and rather ludicrous to be honest.
