Your latest Green Party candidate – from the JC:

The husband of Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha, who is a Green Party local election candidate in south London, has ranted about “the chosen people” posing the biggest threat to the planet, the JC can reveal. 

Mark Adderley, who is standing in Crystal Palace and Upper Norwood, also suggested some drones fired at Gulf states could be Israeli “false flag” attacks and blamed Benjamin Netanyahu for the Hatzola ambulance attack.

In a video titled “true cause of the anti-semitic [sic] ambulance attack,” Adderley attributed responsibility for last month’s attack on Hatzola ambulances in north London to the Israeli prime minister.

“To what extent has Benjamin Netanyahu made the lives of Jewish people all over the world more dangerous by committing a genocide?” Adderley asked.

In the caption, he added: “Benjamin Netanyahu is single-handedly responsible for endangering the lives of Jewish People THROUGHOUT the WORLD … and just for the record … if a Muslim community had their own Ambulance service we would have never heard the end of it …”

Five people have now been arrested in connection with the arson attack, which police are treating as an antisemitic hate crime.

It comes as another Green Party candidate in London reportedly withdrew from local elections after sharing a conspiracy theory about the same incident.

Tope Olawoyin, posting on her now-private X account, allegedly wrote: “I can say with almost absolute certainty that the men arrested are white, probably even Jewish, because we all know for a fact that if they weren’t their names and pictures would be EVERYWHERE.”

There seems to be something of a pattern here.
