While we await the incoming Zack surge (eeeeeeewww), this is background on the name he chose when he stopped being David Paulden

Also references "Walter Titty",

He's had his online output analysed. On Bluesky he reacted to 35,000 posts in the last year. And vanity searches references to him

https://www.economist.com/britain/2026/04/28/zack-polanski-is-britains-first-digital-native-party-leader

It's why he can't detach himself from the Online base and comes a cropper when he ends up being asked to explain his positions to normie votes outside his echo chamber. He's as much influenced by the likes of Mukhtar Yassin and Shola mos as influencing Others

Why am I unsurprised by the evidence suggesting that the Tit Whisperer is a screaming narcissist with the maturity of a sweetie shovelling 3 year old?

Hasn’t he also been exposed for dodging council tax?

Lefties really don’t like to pay tax, do they? While expecting everyone else to pay for their freebies. à la Angela Rayner. Another tax fraud.

Polanski is now saying he was "traumatised" by the film of officers restraining Essa Suleiman (not triggered?). Although he also claimed on R4 that ES had been handcuffed at the time, which was not the case.

It's all about putting himself at the centre, and using the language of the victim and the oppressed.

Saying 'I'm a victim wah wah' is very, very common in today's culture.

I guess it was only a matter of time when an actual party leader will take on a victim mentality. Strange he didn't say he was traumatised by seeing footage of the stabbing. Or about 7/10.

We all know now that he can never be leader his mental health is clearly not up for it.

Unbelievable. Also, why is there no basic fact checking? He has a very distant relationship with the truth.

It’s like he Read “The Secret” and decided this was his best way forward. He seems to think that if he says things are true enough they will be. It’s complete magical thinking

That's not much of a surprise to me as they are both groups that lean more towards the right wing and small conservative views than the Green party.

Yes exactly/- I’ve never really understood the Left/Muslim alliance beyond social disruption. Most of the Muslims I know just want to live quietly getting on with their lives within their faith, like most other people. The Muslims I know are fed up of extremists screaming and shouting (on the Left and Right making their day to day lives difficult).

Well yes. Ali has already said there Islamophobia in the green party. He ended up being mobbed by TRAs including India Willoughby as he's still not signed the LGBTQ pledge.

Another (who seems motivated by Gaza) is already grumbling that the greens and Keffiyeh left are happy to take votes and support on Gaza from the Muslim community but don't want their views on say drug legalization or prostitution

He's fine with the Jewish nation state in the land where Jews originate from being the only one in the world declared as racist, though. Even with 20% of its citizens not being Jewish and still having full equal rights (as of course they should).

Interestingly I asked AI to compare the beliefs and values of Islam and Conservative policy it appears apart from some economic and foreign policies Islam is actually my of a bedfellow with the Tories than the Greens
Key Alignments

  • Social & Family Morality: Both generally prioritize traditional family structures and the sanctity of marriage. There is shared skepticism toward progressive social reforms, particularly regarding LGBTQ+ curricula in schools and gender theory.
  • Religious Freedom: Conservative emphasis on protecting the rights of religious institutions to operate according to their tenets aligns with the Islamic desire to maintain a religious identity in public and private life.
  • Traditional Education: Both sides often value a traditional approach to education that focuses on moral development and parental involvement in a child's upbringing.
  • Law and Order: There is often shared ground on maintaining social stability and a structured legal order to prevent social unrest.

Key Differences

  • Economic Justice vs. Capitalism: While Islam supports private property, it explicitly prohibits usury (riba) and mandates wealth redistribution (zakat). Conservative policies often favour unregulated markets, whereas Islamic economics emphasises communal welfare and ethics.
  • Nationalism vs. Global Ummah: Many conservative parties adopt nationalist or "nativist" rhetoricthat can be exclusionary. This often clashes with the Islamic concept of the Ummah (a global community of believers) and can lead to hostility or perceptions of Muslims as a "threat" to national identity.
  • Social Safety Nets: Islamic principles strongly advocate for care for the poor and vulnerable as a divine mandate. This aligns more closely with left-leaning social welfare policies than with conservative fiscal austerity.
  • Foreign Policy: Tensions frequently arise over Western conservative support for certain geopolitical alliances or interventions in the Middle East, particularly regarding the Palestinian cause.

It would appear that a more centrist political system would align better with Islam than the kind of extremism advocated by Polenski and Farage.

I mean it’s a marriage made in hell. If you’re a devout Muslim and live an Islamic way of life how on earth could you vote Green? I just don’t get it. People are entitled, of course to hold whatever private beliefs they want but if drinking alcohol and doing drugs, and engaging in homosexual activity are prohibited in Islam why would they vote for a party led by a Gay man in a homosexual relationship ( I have no issue with that myself obviously) who what to legalise drugs. As a matter of interest I asked AI to summarise the conflicts and alignment of the Islamic Faith and the Green Party manifesto. There certainly appears much more conflict than alignment - how on earth do you square that circle without compromising on faith?
AI summary

  1. Social and Ethical Policies

LGBTQ+ Rights and Self-ID: The Green Party actively supports self-identification for trans and non-binary people and advocates for LGBTQ+ rights. Islam strictly prohibits homosexuality and adheres to traditional binary gender roles, with many Muslims finding gay marriage and trans rights against their religious tenets.
Assisted Dying: The Green Party is in favor of legalizing and regulating assisted dying. In Islam, all life is considered sacred and predetermined by Allah, making euthanasia or assisted suicide strictly prohibited (haram).
Drug Legalization: The Green Party supports legalizing and regulating all drugs, including Class A substances. Islam prohibits the consumption of intoxicants (drugs and alcohol) entirely.
Decriminalising Sex Work: The Green party supports the decriminalisation of sex work, while prostitution is considered haram (forbidden) in Islam. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

  1. Legal and Financial Policies

Interest on Debt (Riba): The Green Party focuses on economic changes such as wealth taxes. Islamic law strictly prohibits Riba (usury or interest) in all forms. While not directly contradictory to a tax policy, the mainstream financial systems promoted in Western policies usually involve interest-based banking, which is forbidden in Islam.
Gambling/Lottery: Green policies generally manage or regulate the lottery and gambling. Gambling is a major sin in Islam. 1, 2, 3, 4]

  1. Religious and Civil Liberty Tensions

Public Expression of Faith: While the Green Party often defends religious freedom, such as the right to pray publicly, recent political debate has highlighted tensions between secular, progressive values and the public manifestation of conservative religious beliefs (e.g., gender separation in spaces). 1, 2]
Shared Goals
Despite these conflicts, some areas align:
Environmentalism: Islamic principles emphasize Khalifah (stewardship of the earth), and Islamic scholars have issued fatwas against activities that cause ecological damage.
Economic Inequality: Both parties are generally critical of extreme wealth disparities. 1, 2, 3]

Religious freedoms are the foundation of our democracy say Greens - Green Party

Despite being a shield for their perverts and antisemites (obviously he isn't a pervert for being gay, but many modern types of perversion try to gain validity and respectability by hanging on to the coattails of LGB), he does seem to have led them off a cliff somewhat. I guess the antisemites just couldn't control themselves, and it does look as though Jew hatred is starting to become a bit less fashionable.

I think they massively miscalculated. They wrapped it in feeling sad about Gaza, or turning that attacker into a victim. Decent people, however, are horrified at the increase in antisemitism and how it's been enabled. The Met Police incident wasn't a George Floyd moment and the attacking of British Jews isn't anti colonial or an "act of resistance".

I mean it’s coming to something if the Guardian are criticising the Greens Party.

Im glad it’s transpired he wasn’t a registered hypnotherapist meaning he probably had zero training or oversight - he was bringing the profession into disrepute. The man is a charlatan, he’s an arrogant twat that thinks he can persuade people of anything. Lying doesn’t seem to bother him, how can anyone trust what he’s saying. Mothin has distanced himself, Zach was always going to be the sacrificial lamb. He’s basically Del Boys evil twin!

I was thinking exactly the same. The Guardian are being critical! Things can't be good.

More and more people are dying of dangerous drugs so do we want to have them dying or going to somewhere they can take drugs more safely if you gave a serious addiction

There are several liabilities in the Green Party, all those antisemites aren't helping. The men in dresses are women brigade dont help either.

Any of them actually care for the environment?

I just can’t understand how anyone is contemplating voting for them. Their leader appears to be a minimiser (except when it comes to breasts, I bet he got off on that session talking to a woman about her breast getting bigger and bigger), all the appalling antisemitism recognised by everyone except Zach the anointed one and his disciples (it’s all in the imagination don’t you know).

Pretending he had a role in a charity and using this to raise funds via go fund me appears to be fraud (wonder if the police and GoFundMe will investigate - allowing lies will certainly undermine the company’s credibility).

What is his view on those in his party arrested for anti semitism

Lying about being a member of the General Council of Hypnotherapy- surely this is fraud again, wonder if they are looking at legal action having brought the profession into disrepute (no registered hypnotherapist would have done what he did and totally contravenes training and guidelines)

Look at the distance LGBTQ refuser Mothin Ali is creating from him.

The man (sorry if I’m assuming his gender) is utterly ridiculous and clearly (now by his own admission) is a fraud.

Bye bye Zach (will miss the comedy but not the antisemitism enablement or the misogyny)
