Zack Polanski telling it like it is

OP you have been taken in by the belief that the rich are robbing everyone else. It's way more complicated than that.

I recommend the book Talking to My Daughter by the very left wing Yanis Varoufakis. His ideas on inequality in a capitalist economy are far more compelling than Zack P's ravings.

here is an excellent take down of Zack Polanskis claims about the idle rich-
its More or Less, which is a great programme where they fact check outrageous or maybe just puzzling statistical claims

Like I said before I do believe there is a problem with the super rich but when people like him make exaggerated claims it damages the argument

That is not true- near to where I live many places are over 50% second homes, air b&bs etc.
Why would anyone want the countryside built over in a crisis in the natural world? There are brownfield sites, empty homes and so on.
Council housing should never have been sold off and social housing needed to be built.

This ⬆️.

There are a tiny number of second homes.

Frankly, any type of housing needs to be built and the NIMBY whining about fields needs to be ignored.

Great, when they stop prioritising men's sexual rights over women's right to safety, privacy and basic human dignity I'll give them another look. Polanski literally said it was "horrific" that males would be barred from entering women's single sex spaces after the supreme court ruling and he thinks that any woman who has a problem with men gaining access to women's single sex spaces is a bigot. He's a misogynist who doesn't give a shit about women or women's rights.

I didn’t know drugs were legal in LA.
As for Gin Lane, most British cities look like that on a Friday night

The Green Party who support men's rights and trans women's rights are not a party for me. I support women's rights so cannot give them my vote.

Also there is a wise old saying: You cannot make poor men richer by making rich men poorer.

Zack Polanski makes Keir Starmer look competent. And that is some achievement.

However, it won't be Zack Polanski. The search continues....

Alcoholism is a disease. You don’t sound very compassionate about it. Addicts need treatment.
Alcohol and drugs are also two different things.
When you say the smell do you mean there was a smell of weed? I hate the smell of weed, it’s vile. But let’s face it you can smell it pretty much anywhere and everywhere these days and it’s currently meant to be illegal. Given the fact that people round here walk up the road smoking a joint I’d say the war on drugs approach is a massive failure and it would be far better to decriminalise and deal with the gangs not the users

Well that’s not entirely true. Second home ownership and landlordism are huge drivers of the crisis. There are also empty homes in a lot of places- whole streets full in some towns. Building more Lego houses on green sites and not building social housing are also bad answers to the problem.

he doesn't sound sincere to me, but even if he did, sincerity alone is not enough

Same here 👍

presumably somebody is reading this on behalf of Zack Polanski
I hope they take notice
especially of those posters like me who are members/supporters of the greens but will not vote for them

As a Green voter for years honestly I am now politically homeless.

Polarisation is eating everything.

I'm actually genuinely wondering if there's some sort of green party infiltration happening to completely undermine the party as it was, it was steadily growing and represented a threat.

Look at the 'Green Gathering' spy cops scandal if you think I'm mad to say that. Greens have always been seen by the establishment as a threat. Nothing would surprise me.

The Greens as they were were a minority yes, but added a voice that swayed conversation, now the Greens will become a voiceless rabid leftist extreme. A braying that people just tune out.

Extinction Rebellion in it's beginnings was intentionally a political, a very smart move and why it garnered do much support that did sheppard in change.

They are going for the yoof vote the greens. This is what young people want because they can't see the bigger picture.

Something I read on a GC Greens Facebook today which I thought, spot on...

"Democratic insiders thought people would vote for Kamala Harris, even if they didn’t like her, to get rid of Trump. But more people ended up voting for Trump, even though many didn’t like him, because they liked the Democratic Party less."

The Greens think half their party will hold their noses and vote for them but I think they've got this wrong.

Comments today about doing away with private landlords.. Both not possible and foolish

Please please bring back the party that put ecology and the environment first and leave the ideology at the door.

Rang my mum another long time green voter and supporter today. Can't see us voting green.

Yes, that's the problem. He'll draw people in because of his populism and empty sound bites

I don't think that is the only reason - the profit margin builders expect and lack of what they are willing to add in that doesn't make a profit for them is why so many don't want land near them built on. Lack of infastructure here has meant sewage overflows due to thousands of houses using old systems, traffic blocking roads, schools full, playgrounds never finished on the actual site - it's not helping communities but destroying them and adding costs on to the tax payer all for the profit of developers.

He’s a dangerous fool

Hypno-tits speaks!

When he says your boobs can grow bigger, for £50 and a stare into your eyes (not around his eyes).

When he says men can turn into women like magic.

That's why he IS a charlatan. Fact.
