AIBU to question Zack Polanski’s credibility and political suitability?

Why are you using "childless" in a pejorative way?

As opposed to a Far right "Politician" like Farage, who does very little actual "practical and sensible" work, takes bribes from foreign-based billionairesand sees the UK as a profiteering playground. I can't believe people actually want to vote for a person who wants to get rid of the NHS. It's ridiculous how low the bar has sunk.

It's so patronising to dismiss the Greens as "sixth-form politics", I suppose you regard the Far right as "adult" then?!

@MyLimeGuide what work? I’ve heard Tommy Robinson marches being defended by politicians in the news this week as “not hateful”. The world has gone crazy. Posters in here calling Zack “evil”. When did Reform become so acceptable?

@icepopsincoming These are local elections about local issues bins, pot holes, community issues and concerns. Not foreign policy.

The Greens flyer I received was about Gaza the first thing they are talking about! Didn’t know Gaza was a part of the UK that’s news to me.

This is the UK and the Greens are more concerned about a country thousands of miles away than the UK economy.

Try this in reverse and less than zero chance you would be allowed to so this elsewhere; you wouldn’t be able to stand in most of those countries in the Middle East never mind put another countries interests at the heart of your concerns.

Are you a fan of his work then?

There are posts about Zack being evil. Seriously? With all that’s going on in the world, quite a few posters here need to go touch grass. It’s ridiculous behaviour.

Its not just that though is it. Hes extreme hard left with woke Bullshit. Extremely dangerous when in the hands of the vote of the simple minded brit.

Of course he's not suitable - he's an anti--Semite.

I don’t think he’s evil but like all the Greens, he’s a childless overgrown sixth former who sees the UK as a ‘project’ rather than a country that needs to be run practically and sensibly. He will have no descendants to actually live in whatever Petri dish they create, same as the rest of them. He has zero grip on the economy, he confused the debt with the deficit.

You've never seen threads about Farage?

Are you serious? Every second post was about them over the summer!

It's so weird that people who can see Farage for the grifter he is can't see the same in Polanski. I mean this is a man who left the Lib Dems largely because he couldn't get selected as an MP.

He’s also a complete weirdo. The kind of guy you would cross the road to avoid, and someone you use a reference to scare the kids. How do people vote for him with a serious face?

It's because there are elections tomorrow in large parts of the UK, so politics is obviously a hot topic at the moment!

Give it time.

The fact that Farage has been on the political radar for years (even when not an MP) means that he has had huge amounts of publicity that Polanski is only now being subjected to (and let's face it, Polanski has made a rod for his own back spectacularly last week when criticising the police in Golders Green).
Farage was instrumental in the success of Brexit. You can't get much more political than that.

He is a dreadful man.

But the thing is, farage should also be the ‘new boy’ in politics. Up until July 24 he wasn’t even an MP. However for the last, say 15 years he’s been given a platform on mainstream programmes like question time. So he’s absolutely not treated the same as Polanski and is not under as much scrutiny. Even when he was a nobody he was somehow making front page headlines and being treated as a legitimate voice.

Yep - Polanski and Farage - both opportunistic grifters and charlatans.
It’s genuinely worrying how so many people are gravitating to the extremes - far right and far left - two sides of the same coin.

Polanski is the 'new boy' in politics so the focus is on him rather than Farage.
I've seen plenty in mainstream media about Farage and his 'Hitler was right' comments to his fellow students at Dulwich College. He's been in the public eye for far longer than Polanski and only last week the fact that he was given £5 million by a donor was well publicised as is the fact that his partner is the actual owner of Farage's home in his constituency (Clacton).

It’s so weird. Starmer has no convictions or real beliefs- a cardboard box would be more passionate that him. Farage as we know is massively problematic, and his Jewish classmate has said Farage regularly used to say to him that ‘Hitler was right’ but I’ve never seen threads about him 🤯 but yeh Polanski said something about making boobs bigger….

ZP's response to the hypnotits situation sums him up. He says it wasn't a service he routinely offered, and he only agreed to it because it's what the journalist asked for. He's a grifter who tells people what they want to hear. Much like the other cheek, Farage.

omg I've just remembered I used to do that too! In my own defence I was only about 13 though and not charging people to increase their bust size just indulging in a bit of wishful thinking.

It's way more cynical for an adult man to get women to pay for the delusion.

I mean I used to spend my time as a teen moving my arms back and forth saying "I must I must I must increase my bust" and genuinely believed it worked.

Also he wouldn't be the first or last politician with a name change, Ted Cruz in America, Boris Johnson in the UK even Benjamin Netenyahu surname is from a name change by their father before him.

I also dont think there is anything wrong with someone saying Alluah Akbar and I would love someone to explain what is wrong with it.

But let's be realistic its unlikely that he will have any momentum so im not sure why the smear campaign, its pointless. Just let people go and vote and hope that they dont vote for Farage.

But what do I know? Im only Irish and its not like the politics of our nearest neighbour has any impact on us at all.

A guy who is even talking about the size of women's breasts gets an automatic No from me. Seriously
