Zack Polanski telling it like it is

[Daygloboo]

Just seen party political broadcast by the Green Party. Zack Polanski telling it like it is. Billionaires taking rhe pee out of the rest of us while they make money for doing nothing. And if we tax them we get told they' ll leave. Well good. I'll buy them a ticket and give them a map. At last a politician who isn't mealy mouthed. Am I right or am I right. Stuff Reform. Long live Zack.

@ShesTheAlbatross I was obviously giving him too much credit! He's a misogynist and an idiot it seems!

We all hate rich people but they do provide employment, build businesses, create brands, pay the majority of taxes and donate to multiple good causes. We would not have free galleries, museums, universities, music venues, theatres and sports coaching without the philanthropy of the wealthy. It's incredibly naive and short sighted to start attacking billionaires. No business HAS to be based in the UK.

Greens should stick to environmental policies.

You’re laughing but he did actually say that.

And now he thinks men can be women in their own say so.

The man is an anti-science fool doing colossal damage to the environmental cause, as are most of the senior Green Party leadership.

I would never vote for them.

Quite! Or more likely, telling people what they want to hear in the full knowledge they'll never have power.

He's an awful man.
Misogynist fool.

im not happy about his stance on woman, but believe he’d protect woman’s interests far better than some other party’s

the disparity between rich and poor is so vast now that the gap needs closing, which party will do that, feed up with Cost of living crisis

That's a bit of an exaggeration..

In what way did you find him "realistic"? Because in all honesty, I found him to be quite the opposite.

I saw a clip of him saying he would legalise all drugs including heroin and crack so he lost all credibility for me.

I think he’s great.

He stands out to me as being a real politician with views & principles who’s in it because he wants to make a difference & has actual policies - as opposed to the other so called ‘politicians’ who are basically just third rate actors, corrupt grifters pretending to the gullible electorate that they have any interest in anything other than feathering their own nests.

Starmer for instance clearly cares only about what opportunities he will be offered when he leaves office- non-exec directorship at Boeing? NATO role? Mega bucks NGO like Tony Blair? The political role is just a useful stepping stone to the real money for him. That’s why he clearly cares so little about re-election prospects.

Zack on the other hand has actual views and policies and principles - whether or not one agrees with them. (I don’t agree with all of his, including the madness about women’s spaces.) He’s not all about the money and the freebies, & sadly in UK politics today that makes him very unusual.

I don't trust men who change their full names (see also Tommy Robinson). It's like they're creating a persona they can use to act out.

YOUR party it is then..

This. The Greens hate me, why should I give any credence to them? Their #bekind shtick is a one way deal!

That there ia greater inequality in this country now than ever. I dont believe we can all be equal, and I know you need wealth creators, but it has got ridiculous. The greed of some people now is more like a disease than judtifisble economic phenomenon.

He talked about requisitioning ownership, ie just stealing it back from shareholders without payment. Sounds mad.

Then again he might get younger voters.

Welll you can't do that obviously..

He is an absolute loon, who doesn't think that women exist. But it will be fun watching him split the Left vote for those who fall for his schtick.

Oh yes, I absolutely agree with that. That's like saying you support the family, that children are the future and that the rich are too rich. However, they are not policies.
There is nothing realistic about his plans and how they could possibly be enacted. It's easy to tell people what they want to hear.
Supporting migration and refugees? Fine. How many? What's the policy? How do we integrate people better.
It's just yadda yadda yadda to me. I used to vote Green as well!

They don't pay the majority of their taxes, they PRETEND to be based here, while putting all their money offshore.

And they can afford to be bloody benevolent because they don't pay their taxes!

Views like yours really boil my piss.

He can say all these things, he has absolutely no idea of how they can be enacted.
Of course he's anti Israel, that's predictable. Also, most of us would like an end to the terrible war etc.
However, not sharing intelligence with Israel? What possible good could that do?.
Nope. Not realistic in the slightest.

Frankly I don't see a lot of difference between him and Farage. Two chancers out for themselves.

Yes but when you

think just a few companies allegedly control the property portfolios of much of the housing stock in this country and that they are only answerable to shareholders, then you realise something has to be done. It's the reason your kids can't buy flats. Because the profits are bring creamed iff in astronomical service charges by greedy property companies..

He’s a horrible misogynist and has no grasp of science. It’s incredibly easy to state all the amazing stuff you’d do when you have no chance of ever being in a position of doing it, so you don’t have to provide any actual details just the soundbite headlines.

What, like Reform.you mean

I know something has to be done. I agree that something has to be done. The inequality enrages me.
However, I have not heard or read one sound policy for how the Greens intend to do that. He's just talk.
