Zack Polanski telling it like it is

Hypnotits, is a creep and a sexist one at that.

Hypnotherapy. I think that might be through the power of their own minds but I'm not 100% sure how it works.

Oh right. I’m finding soundbites full on rn but I agree Polanski’s policies are nutty.

Yes, Polanski isn't "telling it like it is". He's detached from the realities and speaks in sound bites.

No, no idea what you mean by that.

I meant we should stop being swayed by personalities, vacuous slogans and blue sky ideas. Focus on practicalities and implementation.

Or maybe people should sort out their own problems rather than expecting some politician to do it.

Do you mean the trans / women’s rights stuff? None of these people introduced it.

@Daygloboo Owen jones? No he lives in London - are you on about Polanski ? No idea but wouldn’t suprise me

It's horrific that some women's idea of politic action is either simping after this incompetent self-interested misogynist who'll Save Us or that incompetent self-interested misogynist who'll Save Us. Polanski, Johnson, Farage, Corbyn, Robinson, Sturgeon - same product, different packaging. When will we ever learn?

The breast thing, I searched for evidence and amazingly found a bunch on this site https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00029157.1977.10403876?src=recsys

Nor me, I couldn't have dreamed it would end up like this.

I think he’s creepy and if he thinks he can grow women’s breasts, maybe he could fix his teeth by magic thinking.
I would rather stick pins in my eyes than vote for him.
Twenty years ago I use to vote green or Lib Dem I don’t know what went wrong.

Your position is identical to the one held by most of those the green party would call transphobes. They have kicked people out of the party for similar views.

Worse, he used to be a Liberal Democrat 🤢🤢🤢

We are in Owen jones territory , the guy who doesn’t like the bourgeoisie etc and who my son frequently sees shopping in Waitrose on Finchley Road - personally I find polanski creepy as hell too - stage name and all

From Zack Polanski declares unwavering support for trans community: "Solidarity is non-negotiable" (in Scenemag)

His leadership comes at a time of heightened debate around trans rights in the UK, particularly following a controversial Supreme Court ruling that defined “sex” in legal terms as “biological sex”. Polanski responded to the ruling by calling it “thinly veiled transphobia” and pledged “unconditional” support for trans people.

Polanski also criticised recent advice from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) suggesting transgender people be excluded from single-sex spaces, calling it “horrific”.

From Polanski's Insta, quoted in Pink News (Where gay Green Party leader Zack Polanski stands on trans rights)

“Deep irony that they call this ‘practical’ implications when it’s anything but. A consequence of the awful reporting around the Supreme Court often missing fundamental facts from the ruling. This is just more thinly veiled transphobia. The mask is off.”

And he believes that LGBTIQA+ suffer more from the climate crisis than others so sees no conflict in standing up for trans and other rights (Pink News, ibid.)

Asked if he acknowledged wholeheartedly that fighting for LGBTIQA+ liberation goes hand in hand with fighting the climate crisis, he pledged: “Yes. Our LGBTIQA+ siblings often face even deeper inequalities from the climate crisis. Both through fighting fossil fuel barons or anti-lgbtiqa+ hate, it’s the same systems of violence and exploitation that we must oppose.”

He’s an opportunistic weirdo , except at the opposite end of the spectrum to Farage - basically telling a load of mainly 20 somethings what they want to here without any practical experience of financially how society pays for it - take his idea of no landlords- council has to buy all the property up again - how exactly does fe think that would be funded apart from borrowing money, which then has to be paid back - we rent, and rent an extremely nice house too - I’m sure the council would be delighted to have to buy our £900,000 k value house !! And we’ve got quite a few like that round here- and no we don’t want to rent a 1 bed flat off council either - I’m not a Tory but I am a realist - my son is 27 and centre left and he profoundly disagrees with him too but thinks an awful lot are naive enough to go with it - I think living for a few years in Bristol made my son realise what happens if you let unrealistic people have power, however well meaning.

Of course you should. When you vote for a party, you should surely consider all its policies. You should also look at their track record.

He has said similar things on many occasions. He pushed for the decision to allow GWD to have a stall at Conference to be reversed and long before he was elected leader, he said that GCs weren't welcome in the Green Party.

I used to be a member and have many friends who have been suspended or expelled or have resigned in disgust because of what has happened to the Green Party.

So women shouldn’t concern themselves with other parties’ policies that are damaging for women?

Why?

I don’t know how you can say he’s not a snake oil salesman when he literally said he could grow women’s boobs with hypnosis. He’s not got a hope of taking the Greens to election success, and I can’t believe the party voted him in.
