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.

Oh I agree, this is laughably naive https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zack-polanski-says-he-would-try-to-persuade-vladimir-putin-to-give-up-his-nuclear-weaponsuk691060bbe4b004594276d633?origin=article-related-nonlife.
It's not that the Greens are hard-headed realists. It's just that compared to other countries they are the most realist in foreign policy. Which is terrifying.

I think the Greens have moved position slightly on nuclear in that the don't seem to be advocating for unilateral disarmament. ** Polanski's argument seems to be we will be wanting to get rid of our own nukes but it's OK because at the same time we will have persuaded Russia and other countries to get rid of theirs. (This makes them belligerent war mongers in the eyes of the real left of course. Sigh)

I just don't think that is going to happen. If anything, there are going to be more countries with nuclear weapons over the next decades which is scary but not something the UK can unilaterally fix.

**If there are recent quotes of Polanski on this please let me know. I looked and I can only find him saying things like in the article linked. Which is foolishness. But not as foolish.

Not every women requires an abortion. But EVERY woman needs to have female only safe space to go to the toilet or to change. It affects 100% of women.

Where as abortion only affects less than 20% of women.

Womens rights to female only spaces is by far AND OVERWHELMINGLY the pressing issue.

It's not 'good' or 'positive' to remove womens hard won sex based rights.

I'm so tired of this absolute bullshit. The threat to women is males. Transwomen are males. Trans Ideology means males can enter female spaces where RAPE SURVIVORS LIKE ME are. It has managed, in less than a decade, the upend society, to have women re-defined to 'front holes', 'birthing person', 'menstruators', 'cervix havers', to nurses not allowed to change menstrual blood-soaked pants away from a male gaze, to women losing their jobs to saying no to getting naked in front of males.

NEVER has an Ideology endangered womens lives more than it has this one.

Needing a female only space to go to the toilet and change affects 100% of women EVERY....DAY, and is a much more pressing issue than any whataboutery you could desperately come up with.

Come on! They abandoned the environment many, many years ago. And we all know this.

Why do you think it's one or the other? That if people don't vote Green they will vote Reform? Or even bother to vote at all? I get with extremists they ass'ume everyone else is one extreme or another, but really, you're clutching at straws. Reform don't represent womens rights and I don't think anyone has said they did. There IS a middle ground, you know. Or, simply not voting.

Why do you ass'ume that people who won't vote Green will automatically vote Reform? Why do you always deal in extremes?

It’s in their nature

They are indeed but just put yourself in the place of women who do need or desire an abortion please. 20% = 20 in every 100 pregnant women is not a small number.

That right, which women of my generation, (2nd generation feminists) fought so hard for, MUST NOT be stripped away. A major reason for women NOT TO VOTE for Reform under any circumstances.

I don’t believe anything written in The Sun, especially after Hillsborough.

Just have the guts and honour and decency to answer the question, don't be a coward.

You cannot defend the 'rights' of something you cannot define. You cannot defend 'womens rights' if you cannot define what a woman is, as that definition is what separates them as an oppressed class. How do you fight against oppression if you cannot define it?

Why do you automatically assume non-Green voters will vote for Reform?

Where did this come from?

I think Reform are the only party as morally corrupt as the Greens and that’s why the Greens point to Reforms direction. There are many more centrist parties we can vote for.

The Greens can try to justify their trans stance any which way they want, but it’s the number one issue for me and many female voters and I immediately rule out any party that thinks women can have penises.

Thr Lib Dem, Green and SNP manifestos are utterly irrelevant to me. I won’t be looking at them because there is no way in hell I’ll vote for them. I’m not alone.

Agree don’t think much of Polanski. Though they’re never going to win an election, at best part of a coalition. We need to give Labour a chance to sort the country out. The alternative is back to the Tories, whove already showed us what they can do with 14 years of utter failure on the economy, housing, immigration, public services and so on. Or Reform, basically the Tory reject party with an extra side of crazy, led by the racist and antisemite Farage.

This is getting more unhinged. 'You agree with Kemi and Farage on something so that must mean you support Reform'. Hitler liked dogs. He also drank water. Does that mean you support Hitler? Please grow up.

Womens rights is also a massive issue too. Strange how little you understand that point.

I didn't assume that at all. Not sure how you got that from my post. I'm just stating that no woman should vote Reform based on their lack of support for women's rights including that of abortion.

And I think that you are wrong and morally wrong to think that women don't deserve our hard won sex based rights and that people like you want to shit on the headstones of our foremother feminists who achieved those things that you know deem 'not necessary'. I have a particular hatred for Mens Rights Activists.

Name one party that cares for equality. And don't mention the Greens or LDP/SNP because I will burst out laughing.

But the topic of this thread is Polanksi and Greens. So why are people dragging Reform into it, unless they assume that people who don't vote Greens are Reform by default?

Why even mention Reform, at all?

The Greens 💚 laugh away.

It refers to the fact that he is anti womens rights.

You can be pro trans rights YET STILL think female only spaces should remain female only single sex spaces for women and girls and rape survivors and DV survivors. Yet somehow you and your ilk think it's only one or the other.

They are against equality for women. Try again.
