We are going to need at least another 40 pages about this shit show of an anti-Semitic woman hating party...

We started these threads back in May 2025. It keeps getting worse.

You know when you watch a drama and it starts by being comic, then gets darker and darker. The threads started with the rise of Zack Polanski aka Hypno Boobs, Water Titty, ZPy before he became leader watching as he got elected in September 2, 2025.

The Hypnoboobs scandal was of course kind of funny, but what was very revealing was his attempt to paint it as a plot by the media against him. It was gradually revealed he used the drama to his advantage to advertise his business and he did claim to have weird powers over boobs from BBC footage.

It wasn't just he lied. humans and especially politicians do that. It is rather he refused to take responsibility, and ducked out. He has kept doing it again and again. Exaggerations and lies over claiming support from charities, ducking out of paying taxes, talking over women saying they don't deserve sports or any spaces, about why he swapped from Lib Dem to being Green . It is all very similar to the way many behave particularly blokes from other political parties.

Now the crazy anti Semitism within the party has been growing and ZP has failed to stop it. He did try to block it behind the scenes, but was very reluctant to face it head on. This cumulated in the Greens Conference 2006, when ZP failed to fight against the racist anti-Zionist motion in person. Instead he went to campaign in London for the byelection. Meanwhile guess what the fight back was lead mostly by 4 of the 5 Green MPs, mostly women.

Looking back at the last thread the horror is everything we predicted has come to pass. This is what headed the last thread in May 2006.
Now in the last week or so after a longstanding spate of anti-Semitic rhetoric from some Greens during the election campaign and ZP downplaying it. We have synagogues, schools, ambulances attacked, two Jewish people dead and ZP berating unarmed police for risking their lives in fighting a violent killer who was still armed with a knife things have come to a crisis point.
The Greens are becoming ever more sinister with dozens of candidates sounding like they are seventies NF supporters with comments about uppity women and Jewish power.

The October Conference 2026 was as dark as predicted. The racism was crazy. They banned the words mum and dad. Apparently women have to dress modestly to win Muslim votes. Not only was Green's Women's Declaration banned, but some Greens have now decided that women's biology is so icky they protest talks about it.

Besides ZPy, we also have documented Mothin Ali as deputy Leader who clearly doesn't believe in trans thinking, but cleverly sidesteps round talking about it. He has always had a issues with encouraging racist violence and one look at his wife shows what he thinks about women. He is also a landlord in a party which is supposedly anti landlord. Ali has been very loud talking about how bad racism is, but also loves being racist.

The other deputy leader Rachel Millward represents the posh rich faction of the Greens who manages to sounded like Reform when opposing Asylum Seekers in her area, but at the same time saying we are too harsh on immigrants in general. Obviously she also doesn't believe women are a thing. She also is a landlord as well, or rather her partner is. Yet she is the least crazy when violence and racism is concerned compared to ZP, and Mothin.

All of these people are up for re-election in 2027. The drama will be epic.

The media is paying increasing attention to what Mumsnet have been noting for ages. Mumsnet was there during the Challenor scandal which showed how awful the Greens anti-women rhetoric could be.

Their sexist nonsense has also raised protests in Hackney under the control of Zoe Garbbett with effigies of Andy Burnham being burned.

The fight back from Green Women's Declaration, https://www.greenwomensdeclaration.uk/ continues and they are now taking the Greens to court for banning them from the conference twice for being women. The court cases against GPEW from Emma Bateman and Shahrar Ali are developing, both getting through legal delaying tactics as they move to trial. Gardening is needed. These cases if successful could be dramatic in their impact.

Note the Scottish Greens which are a separate party to the Green Party England/Wales have their own thread for all their sexist/racist drama. They split off because GPEW didn't hate biology and women/gays enough at the time.

Hard to keep up with the galloping multidirectional clusterfuck that is the current GPEW.

Is Speitan the ex YP entryist?

RedToothBrush · 06/10/2026 07:21

Shall we talk about Lubna Speitan?

She has interesting friends.

The British wife, sister, close friend, former boss and mental health counselor of an accused al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula militant cannot boost his insanity defense via closed-circuit TV testimony from across the pond, a federal judge ruled. Arrested earlier this year, Minh Quang Pham plans to tell a jury that he has bipolar disorder to escape charges of aiding the U.S.-designated terrorist group at his trial on Feb. 1. Nearly four years ago, British authorities searching Pham at Heathrow International Airport found armor-piercing ammunition associated with a Kalashnikov rifle, according to his indictment. Pham is believed to have later returned to Yemen, where a government informant claims to have spotted him with two well-known propagandists behind Inspire, a glossy magazine associated with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. The informant claimed to have spotted him with the author of “I Am Proud to be a Traitor to America,” an article associated with Pakistani-American Samir Khan, who was killed in a drone strike with New Mexico-born militant Anwar al-Awlaki. Four people close to Pham paint a very different picture of the Vietnamese Brit accused of turning to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, according to a Dec. 4 order. Huyan Pham, his sister, says she remembers her brother as “a passive individual [who] never expressed any interest in committing violence or terrorism” and had an “interest in creating a peaceful Muslim Village,” court records show. Unable to obtain a visa to travel to the United States, Pham says that she wants to boost her brother’s defense with “testimony concerning mental disorders of family members and physical and emotional abuse sustained,” the order states. Pham’s wife Eema Nawaz requested safe passage to travel to the United States to testify on behalf of her husband. His close friend Lubna Speitan claimed to have a medical condition preventing her from air travel, and his former boss Bola Sobowale did not respond to the court’s attempts to reach her to discuss the possibility of testifying. Mental health professional Rachel Thomas insisted generally that her commitments to her unspecified clinic would keep her too busy to travel to Manhattan Federal Court.

Spoiler. He plead guilty and was sentenced to 44 years.

That's the same Lubna who is on video saying that Zionists should be hunted down. And is in another video where the person sat next to her talks about liberal zionists as demonic whilst she (literally) nods along (actual quote here is way worse).

Interesting she has a medical condition that prevents her from flying to the United States. I wonder what that might be.

Well, we've had the thoughts of the GPEW's leader.

"Zack Polanski has said he will not accept anyone being excluded from the Green Party "because of the religious or communal body they are part of", after members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism.

The Green leader said "no-one will be made unwelcome because of their background, their faith, or where they worship"."

And what are you going to do about it, Zippy?

I won't accept exclusion within Green Party, says Polanski after criticism of Zionism motion

Labour MPs and the European Greens have demanded clarity from the Green Party over a "Zionism is racism" motion.
