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.

Apparently online far left leaning Starmer sycophants and handmaidens deserve to decide what’s debated. Anyone who doesn’t fall over with glee at a man declaring “I’m one of you! Accept me!” Just needs to STFU.

Posters on this thread probably don’t realise that GC MNers have been told to STFU for over a decade. And what did we do? We formed groups that led to the Supreme Court ruling. What makes these posters think they are the ones to finally silence us.

'Starmer sycophants' my goodness where do you find this material from- are you a comedian?

YANBU, he would be a massive risk to national security and seems to have no grasp on anything at all bar ‘we have love, we have hope…’ etc

When did I state it was- it my opinion and yours is very much the balloon of delusion that needs popping if you think that a majority of the voting public care about gender ideology.

Balloon of delusion? How. Explain. Could you go into specifics as I’ve asked a few times how I’m “wrong” and you agent answered

But I think the only person holding a balloon of delusion is the person who says nobody in the public cares about women’s safety and single sex spaces

And mine isn’t an opinion actually, mine is based on facts given there is actual data around these issues. Would you like to see it?

You don’t think women’s rights should be prioritised - we get it. how old are YOU that you think male violence isn’t a problem

But generally people vote for what affects them personally. People with mortgages and jobs won’t prioritise housing issues, but they may prioritise VAWG because that affects them.

Id really like to ask you if you genuinely think people don’t care about women’s rights and safety? And if you have a source for this?

Edited

You think people with mortgages and jobs care about gender ideology with the same level of interest as growth in the economy, unemployment levels and interest rates. I think you must be one of the lucky windfall generation that can indulge themselves with this politics.

JonesTown · 08/02/2026 20:29

Yeah- he’s similar to Farage on the opposite side.

He doesn’t believe government debt needs to be paid, thinks Putin can be asked nicely to give up his nukes, wants to leave NATO and believes hitting people with sledgehammers is fine as long as he agrees with those doing it.

No thanks.

Yes I do.

I don’t think, I know.

Again - are you going to answer anyone’s questions questions or just keep rather pathetic little barbs at what other people have said?

Go on, answer a question, I dare you. Let’s started with: why don’t you care about women’s rights more?

Women's safety and women's rights is not wholly about gender ideology. It is so ridiculous to suggest some regular men no gender issues are not a risk to women are not the biggest risk to women. How's that helpful to any women.

I guess, if Russia or any country was attacking the UK today what advantages would NATO membership bring?

I do agree about forging better links with Europe. We already made progress with the Nordic countries -important because of the Arctic and the North Sea. The problem is, right now, do we work with Franse to buy their Raphael planes? Or work on a joint product? Or continue to build parts of the American F-whatever number.and buy the finished product for ourselves?

The US still is a major defensive power, the only one rn who can match the Chinese etc

Ignoring all the noise on it they are still part of it. Ukraine dropped nuclear weapons and isn’t part of NATO and the poor people are deep in war still.

Just stay in NATO, Europe isn’t a patch on the US for defence. If they were they could counter Russia alone. They will only commit to ‘peace keepers’ if the US provide security.

Opposition to gender ideology IS wholly about women’s safety and women’s rights.

What do you mean by “regular men”?

no gender issues are not a risk to women are not the biggest risk to women

Of course they are. There are rape victims living with trauma right now because gender ideology pushed sex predators into their safe spaces. Or do these victims not count if they’re not raped by the right kind of person?

Not to mention most women want single-sex spaces. Around 94% - but he it’s only silly women, if only they knew about the environment theyd just STFU

Fundamentally women’s rights don’t exist under gender ideology as we are unable to define ourselves as a sex class separate from males. It’s ceding back to males what little women have carved out for ourselves and allowing males to speak over and for us once more. It’s utterly regressive.

Where did I say I didn't care about women's rights. Your obsession and culture wars over gender ideology are a massive deflection from the issues that really impact women's rights and pushing women away from voting from mainstream parties is dangerous and stupid. Getting rid of the EHCR is not going to help a majority of women. A lack of opportunities for women due to a lack of economic growth is damaging to women as no financial independence, this has been accelerated by the years of economic decline caused by Brexit, caused by that bloke Farage, the party you with your gender ideology focus are pushing women towards to vote against their own interests!

Well yes many of us have mortgages and jobs and are not so selfish as to only vote for parties that suit our narcissistic whims, preferences and familial concerns.

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

I agree golden bear.
I am biding my time over the green party. Climate change is the most important issue in my mind. Hand down. And I can put up with the populist approach, its not my bag but its getting attention. And I think they should of course have policies other than about the environment. They are moving further left though, some of them may be red lines for me, given trumps antics. But I will wait and see. Anything but reform basically
But I am sick to death about the comments about boobs. And knowing what a woman is.
The left went too far there by oushibg this issue. I dont care if its one of their policies it won't happen again. Lid is shut. But its nothing compared to what could happen to women's rights under right leaning parties. I can't believe US supporters seem to care more about stopping trans rights than women's abortion rights. Its ridiculous what they did. So ridiculous
Its what happens when you focus on a single issue (trans, immigration) and dont look around
. Madness

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 20:40

Who is “pushing” anyone to vote for Farage? Has a single person on the thread expressed support for Reform?

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 08/02/2026 20:41

I wonder if Goldenbear is actually a secret TERF as actually it’s thanks to them that this issue has been discussed so much on this thread. Telling us to STFU has Kinda backfired on you hasn’t it?🤭

But how could you possibly know how any of this would affect women?

if the definition of women under the Green Party or indeed under labour is

adult human females and men who feel like women but not adult human females who feel like men

any data you want to gather about women, any policies you want to implement to benefit women of the adult human female variety, any programmes to increase women's representation or women's experience at work or women's experience of the NHS. None of that is possible if the definition of women includes "and some men but not all women" because if gender ideology

you cannot measure or defend that which you cannot define

NeverDropYourMooncup · 08/02/2026 20:46

'Buffoon' was last used regularly in the media (and therefore by people who picked up on it as a new-old timey word to use in exactly the same way) to describe Boris Johnson.

We all know how that went for the country.

Don't give the slightest time to encourage this one to be seen as a slightly hapless, vaguely endearing silly boy, rather than a hardnosed self advocate with his eyes on the prize.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 20:46

Voting for the Greens is a bit self indulgent, don’t you think @Goldenbear? They’re going to split the left vote, why would you do that?
