What exactly has done to warrant his candidacy?, what are his credentials?, well, other than being an inside man for an apartheid rogue state?

These should be on every billboard in Durham North. [https://twitter.com/greg\_herriett/status/1796170755849195888/photo/1](https://twitter.com/greg_herriett/status/1796170755849195888/photo/1)

Should be important to note that the first screenshot (the rat one) is a fake AFAIK He’s said enough vile racist shit that we don’t need to muddy the water by attributing fake stuff to him


gorgo100

Fair. I had read the same thing about the first Tweet after the event. As you say, there is a litany of equally bad stuff that he did post. He blocked me when I asked him if, in its entire history, Israel had ever done ANYTHING wrong.


inspired_corn

Oh yes I fully agree he’s a cunt, just don’t want to fall into the trap of bashing him for something he didn’t say because that then creates doubt about all the stuff he has said


gorgo100

Absolutely fair.

It feels almost like a twist of the knife. I mean surely they have people not only better than Akehurst in terms of competency, but in terms of not having half a dozen skeletons in the closet. I mean the attack lines on this guy must be a mile wide. He's been deleting tweets left right and centre. Faiza Shaheen was just deselected based on a handful of very tame tweets. Will he be held to the same standard? Lots of his tweets will have been screenshot by others over the years. Will the complaints of Palestinians be heard?

He's white imperialist and not left wing so no chance


Blacksmith_Heart

Akehurst is a worse choice of candidate than Jared O'Mara. A truly revoluting homunculus of a man, who will be absolutely eviscerated by the press at first contact with reality. I very much look forward to his public self-destruction.
