Polanski is a buffoon

1000 replies

Bertiebiscuit · 07/02/2026 18:28

How anyone can take the Green party leader Zac Polanski seriously is completely beyond me. He has zero grasp of economics, beyond conning women out of ££££s by pretending he could hypnotise them to increase their bust measurements. He is the worst representative of gay men who worship the men pretending to be women, with no regard for womens and girls' right to privacy, dignity and safety. The man is a 24 carat buffoon.

Agree. I can't bear to listen to him.

PurpleLovecats · 07/02/2026 18:31

I’d rather 10 of him to one orange buffoon.

Jenry · 07/02/2026 19:04

Why do you think this?

No she isn't. Just because he is gay doesn't mean he is not a buffoon (and a dangerous one, at that).

BunfightBetty · 07/02/2026 19:14

He’s financially and economically illiterate, presides over a party that’s more interested in what’s going on thousands of miles away than it is in pursuing an actual green agenda in the UK, and doesn’t believe women should have any rights.

Any one of those issues would be enough for me to dismiss him out of hand. All together? Zero credibility. I hold nothing but utter contempt for him. The man’s a prize fool.

Have you looked into the actual story about the hypnotism/boobs thing? I'm guessing not if you're repeating the headlines...

May I ask Who you do admire, and compare him to? Just so I can get a level understanding of your politics...

I think we'd struggle to find anyone to admire in Politics currently. No one inspires me.

You are doing the man an injustice!

He is going to sit down with Putin and persuade him to give up his nuclear arsenal - having first ditched the UK‘s nuclear capabilities to prepare the ground. Can‘t wait for world peace to break out under his leadership.

Bit homophobic to assume a gay man cant also be 24 carat buffoon, no?

ilovesooty · 07/02/2026 19:23

I don't think this thread is about politics at all - or at least not about economic policy.

How could such a top-tier plan fail? The man’s clearly highly expert in human psychology and negotiating tactics.

I expected this to be about a different Polanski and my first thought was "He's much worse than that!".

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 07/02/2026 19:25

I don't like any politicians but Polanski is a special kind of stupid. He thinks women can have a penis and is more concerned about bloody Palestine than this country.

What rubbish!

Is there not a single woman you dislike? If yes then you must be a misogynist.

Have you ever been slightly irritated by somebody not white? Or white if you are not? Racist!

KillTheTurkey · 07/02/2026 19:32

I know someone who has been a member of the Green Party since it was the Ecology Party, who has resigned her membership over his blatant hatred of women.

It’s not homophobic to observe this, it’s just the obvious truth of the situation.

It’s the economic illiteracy that’s really worrying. He hasn’t a bloody clue!!!

And you are a misogynist

Ionlymakejokestodistractmyself · 07/02/2026 19:50

Where's the evidence he hates women? I've not seen that.

He's the only political leader I've seen getting traction with the message that the rich are getting richer, and running many of our services into the ground, while the rest of us feel the pinch.

I think that's a message worth broadcasting and getting behind, and I wish more politicians were on our side and saying the same thing.

We need politicians who are willing to hold corporations and services to account, properly.

He's nowhere near government at the moment so I'm less bothered by his economic know how (or lack thereof). Of course if and when they get closer to power the Greens would need a fully costed plan.

Not that I'm confident in any other party economically - the Tories were a disaster, not sure things are much better with Labour and Reform based on their councils (and Brexit campaigning rhetoric) are willing to outright lie about spending and savings.

"He's the only political leader I've seen getting traction with the message that the rich are getting richer, and running many of our services into the ground, while the rest of us feel the pinch"

it's one thing to say that that's happening. We all know that it's happening. But he has no solution for dealing with it. And he doesn't know the difference between debt and deficit.

I'll leave you to figure out what the woman issue is.

What do you think about open borders and legalisation of all drugs?

GingerBeverage · 07/02/2026 20:04

It’s odd he chose the surname Polanski when it’s so associated with a child abuser.
So many names to choose from and that’s the one?

Polanski is his original (Polish) family name. Nothing to do with Roman Polanski at all.

He's a complete dickhead who thinks men can magically become women

there are no decent politicians in
this country
