Green candidate quits after 'false flag' apology
A Green Party candidate ended their by-election campaign subsequent to an apology regarding offensive content they had circulated on social media. In the material he disseminated, Chris Kennedy labeled an incendiary assault on emergency vehicles belonging to a Jewish aid organization as a "false flag" incident. He deleted the posts, which concerned an incident involving four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green, north London.
