Just get to know the thread, then don't read it.
To be honest I suspect some people would prefer some things were not
talked about, by anybody. So they threaten to leave the group.
But there have been no real unsubscribes in the title for a month, since
it's been much busier.
the last two real unsubs were after about 3 and 8 posts in the previous
two weeks.

You can run a filter on your inbox which takes out all the ones with

I though you had been leaving the casnnabis discussion in because prior
to that the group had nearly died.

Let's have a vote on whether we should have a vote about forming a group
called Cantabrians issues.
Or perhaps just putting some other word in the title.
The I can reply to Michael Campbell on this forum without bing outside
the guidelines when I say to him that from my attendance at a campaign
meeting recently (I am not actually a member)
the green party is democratic in its policy formation. That is unlike
the other parties isn't it?
I haven't seen the Investigate article, but if there are Communists in
the Green Party, then they would as

attempt to form policy, as would eco-socialists.
So would Capitalists.
Isn't Capitalism looking a bit funny now that it is being supported in
its present failure immediately by tax, when it's promises to support
the poorer people have been taking a very long time to eventuate?
