Polanski is a buffoon

[Bertiebiscuit]

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.

Even though they hate women?

No, that's not my view. I'm not really interested, my concern is that this shouldn't dominate public debate, it's a cultural problem and it distracts from the debates we should be having over policy and public administration. I think it is 'wrong' to do that, I think it is morally wrong to do that.

You think it’s morally wrong to want to talk about woman’s rights? Really? 👀

Sorry and all, but it’s an important debate. It’s not run on your whims, as you were quick to say earlier. Again, you can persuade left leaning parties that women’s sex based rights are non negotiable and I’ll vote for them. Otherwise, I can’t.

Gender ideology doesn't feature as a debating issue or a concern for most people in any form, it literally is a zero % concern for most regular folk.

And you can call me “morally wrong” all you want, it doesn’t bother me because IMO its morally wrong to prop up this lie.

It's morally wrong to deflect and distract away from the rise of many issues that really do impact people's lives like poverty, homelessness, the rise of fascism. No one cares about gender ideology in the real world.

I agree most people don’t care deeply about this issue apart from having a clear preference for single sex toilets and changing rooms.

What it does is make politicians untrustworthy. They are lying, and everyone knows it. Everyone knows men aren't actually women. If you can’t see that, you’ll never understand why people won’t vote for parties you want in power.

“Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you”. Analysis found this campaign did cut through in swing states. Bill Clinton was concerned by it apparently.

Hypnotism is a valid therapeutic technique. I’ve received it on the NHS ( in a hospital) for a chronic health condition and also privately.

Only a total money grubbing chancer would think it can grow tits.

What mainstream parties? The Labour party are in power despite Starmer not living up to your standards on gender so it just goes to show people don't give a shit!

We are in the real world, we’re not holograms 🙄 MN is full of women who care.

It was one of the top reasons for swing voting that gifted Trump his win. You are very wrong if you think this doesn’t matter.

The Labour Party are in power because people wanted the Tories out. At the current time they may not get a second term.

This is true. US elections are won on small numbers of undecided voters and Democrats focus on gender ideology did influence undecided voters to vote Trump, according to analysts.

The U.S. is an entirely different culture, particularly in politics. Unfortunately we are following in their footsteps with politics being about cultural wars!

Astonishing. Women’s rights are pretty fundamental to women. No we will not stop talking about them despite your bizarre assertion that it’s “immoral”. 🙄🙄🙄

If you want this to stop then tell the men in dresses to stop appropriating and colonising our rights. Then we can move on.

So if we are following in their footsteps we’d better not make the same mistakes, had we?

They don’t have any concrete argument. “It’s immoral”, “you’re wrong”, “it’s a distraction so shut up about it”. Not convincing exactly, is it?

So tell Labour and the greens to stop prioritising trans rights over women’s rights.

The Green Party are the ones that have made it so important to them that they will expel members over it. Tell them to wise up and move on.

It’s an issue of basic human rights and equality for women ( half the population of the UK). If you think human rights can be dismissed as a mere ‘cultural issue’, you may be better suited to a far right party.

This. I’m not engaging with this derail any further. I don’t care that people disapprove of my political red lines, any more than I care that people think I’m mean because I don’t believe men are women and I think it matters.

Even 18 months ago I would have agreed with you. By now I think he's the more realistic of the bunch on this. Its very clear that Trump is not just indifferent to Europe but actively hostile. That means NATO functionally isn't there already. But worse than that, if politicians have their head in the sand and keep trying to play Weekend at Bernie's they also continue the dependency on Americas goodwill by buying American weapons systems, AI products etc etc. That same dependency which means we can't easily do without America. Buying in services like Palantir is making the problem worse. Not better.

Americas essential for intelligence etc. Especially high resolution satellite imaging. And so much of our stuff is meshed with them. But basically Europe/the UK will either have to work out how to replace what America provides or work out how to do without. Accepting NATO as nonfunctional means accepting a much more threatening reality. But it's better than - la la la la la laaaaa. Everything's fine. Special relationship. La, la la la la

Exactly, they 'are' in power despite Starmer's apparent position on Gender ideology. So proves people don't vote on this issue.

Starmer has taken a customarily weak, craven position on sex and gender issues that pleases absolutely no one.
