Polanski is a buffoon

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.

Yes, that pretty much sums up all your posts @Goldenbear

I don't agree with you, that is allowed.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:04

So? Who cares?

ForCyanGuide · 08/02/2026 19:05

The fact that this thread very quickly descended into terfs trying to out terf each other, just shows how ignorant people are of actual politics, policies and economics.

the world is literally crumbling around this. Ukraine is at war, Palestine is rubble, a facist is running the “free world” and almost invaded an ally a few weeks ago. But sure, let’s argue about whether Bob wants to Barbara. Even though it has no fucking effect on your life whatsoever.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:00

The poster hasn’t got any actual rationale for why you are “wrong”, it’s just a lazy way of not engaging.

I think I've spent quite a bit of time explaining my viewpoint and it isn't one you (generic you) like so there is nothing left to say.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:07

I’d like to hear you lay out why it’s not acceptable to prioritise women’s sex based rights, @Goldenbear- presumably that’s why @FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods is “wrong” in your opinion. Go on, maybe we’ll see the error of our ways and repent before the next election. Now’s your chance to do some good.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:07

Stop telling me what I am allowed to prioritise.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:09

And, if you really care, you’ll pop along to Reddit and tell the boys there that the world doesn’t have time for their nonsense, won’t you?

We see your attempts to belittle the issue of trans identifying men, but actually it very much does affect my life when predatory men want to come into the safe spaces of me, my teenage DD, my friends, family and all women. It affects all us women very much. Predatory men do enough damage to women already without opening the door for them.
Because Bob doesn’t just “want to be Barabra” - he wants to gaslight ACTUAL women into thinking he’s one of them and belongs in their spaces, he wants to take everything that belongs to women that we have fought for, and he wants to reduce womanhood to a sexist Steretype. And if we don’t clap along gleefully, plump the cushions in our safe spaces just for Bob and STFU like good little women do, the we get called names and it’s implied we don’t care about other world issues.

Nice try. But many of us have been fierce gender criticals for over a decade, we spot a misogynist when we see one and you most certainly will not be the one to convince us we are wrong.

I would quite like to hear your views about what I’m wrong on. I’ve given provable statistics and facts - is it that you don’t believe? You’ve never actually said how I’m “wrong”, just told me I am

Fundamentally for me it’s about politicians who will prioritise ideology over truth and reality. How can we except politicians to make laws that work for everyone if they deny basic truth and reality. It affects us all when lies are written into laws. It astonishes me that people can’t see that.

Goldenbear · 08/02/2026 19:14

Well you seem to only want people to post that agree with you, it's really quite arrogant.

Yes exactly

So few politicians seem to be able to tell us what a woman is, yet they expect us to trust them to write policies and laws to keep 50% of the nation safe and equatable - but can’t tell us what the 50% actually is

Absolutely and it contributed to Trump winning. Gender identity ideology is so batshit to most people, but genderists are in their personal filter bubbles mired in cognitive dissonance and they can’t see it.

@Goldenbearyou can see that calling anyone who doesn’t agree with you a shill is exactly this?

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 08/02/2026 18:54

it is very frustrating when people don’t actually engage in conversation or aim to gain something from a thread like this. Their stance is just “muh Farage” “Brexiteers” and any other words that, in their sphere, is akin to being called a cunt.

The problem is when people like us who voted remain and don’t support Farage, get called Brexiteers and Farage supporters, it’s just amusing more than anything

It is absolutely. Those posts say far more about that poster than they do about me - I’m so far past caring about nonsense like that.

It is ENORMOUSLY frustrating that we have no one to vote for. I know who I definitely can’t vote for and Polanski is one of them.

I read somewhere that we get the politicians we deserve - what on earth did we do to deserve this lot?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:17

I said I didn’t care what you think, not that you shouldn’t post.

I get very frustrated when the likes of annd Trump are the only ones to point out that men can’t be women. I wonder if left leaning politicians realise that’s exactly how Trump got in - because people were wanted an antidote to being told what to think, that they’re bigots, to being told how privileged they etc, and sadly because the gobshite old men of the world weren’t afraid of speaking out against ideological nonsense, it got people on side.
It’s madness that actual grown arse politicians are so afraid of upsetting 1% of the population

They’re in denial about it, as are a lot of people on MN.

I voted Lib Dem as a tactical vote in 2024, my MP is fantastic, and I’d probably go that way if there was an election tomorrow….but I hate to say it’s a bit grim when Temu Labour is the best out of a bad bunch 🫣

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 19:21

Temu Labour 😂

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 08/02/2026 19:21

They even have Temu colours 😂

I like him. The greens offer a real left wing liberal alternative.
