The Green Party might want to look a little more closely at the social-media activists who spring into action and swarm whenever they or Polanski are criticised. They may find rather too many retired political obsessives spending their days attacking women online — because punching us in the face would get them arrested — alongside, as a friend put it, angry young men who want to like Andrew Tate but also want to be cool.
It’s ugly, and a nasty political culture to have flourishing around a party that was once the exact opposite.
