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.

'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.

That’s a very good point.

@ForCyanGuide 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.

And this is a major part of why I will never vote for the Green Party while it's led by ZP. He advocates for leaving Nato, and for the UK to follow a policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament- and using that to try and persuade Putin to give up Russia's nuclear weapons. The man is a dangerous fool, and would be an absolute disaster for the security of the UK and Europe (and indeed, the rest of the world).

Exactly! Those are real reasons to not vote for the man.

I'm not sure if any of you can follow a coherent argument as I've replied with answers again and again. The reality is you don't like what you are reading, this isn't my problem.

Can you show me your post with the definition of what a woman is?

Thanks!

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.

You’re opinions aren’t backed by any statistics.

You’re an ideologue.

Do they do that. How can I tell them to do anything, I just voted for them in the last election.

In pretty much the same way you’re telling us to STFU about it. Write to them.

Goldenbear · 08/02/2026 20:50

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?🤭

I don't recognise your name sorry and I've been on here for years.

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.

I don’t give a shit about culture wars (whatever that means) I care about women.

And giving your assertion that “nobody” cares about gender ideology, I assume you don’t? But why wouldn’t you? When it’s so very harmful to women as a class?

caused by that bloke Farage, the party you with your gender ideology focus are pushing women towards to vote against their own interests

Mate if you wanna blame ANYONE for pushing women the Reform, blame the transactivists. Blame the men who are trying to force their way into our safe spaces. Dont blame women for refusing to put up with it and finding they have zero support from the main parties

Yes lack of opportunities and economic issues are a problem for women - but those issues don’t lead towards our rape and murder. Unlike men being in our single-sex spaces. If we cut out this gender nonsense it would be so much easier to address those other pressing issues.

I said earlier there is no issue that isn’t affected by gender ideology. Take women’s opportunities, something YOU have stated (rightly) is a problem. Do you know that women’s opportunities are being taken away by men as a direct consequence of gender ideology. In the arts, sports, politics, and everyday workplaces? Even in roles that are ABOUT women.

Which of those statements could be backed by “statistics”? They’re her personal opinions, not factual claims, and she didn’t say they were. Lots of us ideologues can give you facts though, just say what you want to know about? What do you find particularly convincing or compelling about random men’s claims to be “women”?

It’s their last resort. They’re losing the argument so have to resort to accusing people of being schills for the far right. 🤭🤭

You really haven’t.

You have persistently said I’m wrong, but haven’t stated what about.

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 08/02/2026 20:57

ForCyanGuide · 08/02/2026 20:47

Exactly! Those are real reasons to not vote for the man.

Why do YOU get to decide what is a “real reason”?

Not voting for someone because they hate women is very much a real reason

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 20:57

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?

I guess this is going to go unanswered, it’s not hard to see why.

Yes they are.

Men pose a persistent danger to women. Have you missed this memo?? How. I knew this as a primary school child.

Trans identifying men more so, they are over represented in sex crime statistics.
Women also overwhelmingly want to keep single-sex spaces.

And we don’t need statistics to know that men can’t be women.

We’ve been through this - maybe on your planet being called a Farage shill is the worst insult ever. But for the rest of us it’s just funny, especially given nobody on this thread has said they’re a Farage supporter or have ever implied they are.

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

I just watched him debate with an economist and a Labour MP. It was terrifying. He thinks the bond markets are something we can opt in or out of. The economist was looking at him bewildered at some of the nonsense that was coming out of his mouth.

It was like watching a A level student at debating club. Endless factoids and soundbites but a total inability to explain his position with any credibility.

The idea that he could run the country is as scary as when Jeremy Corbyn had a go.

Surely the clue is in the term gender ideology. That is the ideological viewpoint, and believers ideologues.
