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.

States a desciple

It's disciple (weren't you the one attacking a previous poster's spelling when they used the Scottish spelling of schill?). Maybe learn to spell correctly. Also a "disciple" of what? Womens rights? As opposed to being a disciple of the Mens Rights Movement. Talk about hairy handed!

'to smear'? How's that a smear? Are you sure you don't work for The Sun as you are great at the sensationalist, fictional posts!

Then explain what it means. If it's not a smear, you will.

It’s disciple. If you’re going to use it to be insulting at least spell it correctly.

Yes it is, I hold my hand up, I made a spelling mistake. I think it's the tiredness and boredom.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 09/02/2026 20:38

Calling those who agree on points regarding women’s rights ‘hairy handed disciples’ is not a smear now 🤣. Brilliant.

SpringTimeIsRingTime · 09/02/2026 20:51

How any woman is giving this snake-oil salesman the time of day I do not know, but many young women seem to lap up his kind of pat.
They give women a bad name.

Young men don't fall for this kind of nonsense - why do so many young women?
No wonder men think we're stupid.

@Goldenbear You are gassing on about women's rights and the Green party

Just read this post- @Goldenbear , do you really think that this kind of thing is going to be a winning argument on a forum that is majority women? If so, you're very much mistaken. You're simply making the argument that the Green Party has serious a misogyny problem for your opponents.

How is the battle won when Starmer, and the Scottish government, won't implement the Supreme Court clarification? How is it won when women are still to this day, losing their jobs for speaking out? How is it won when corporations, and even organisations like the Womens Institute, would rather disband than exclude males? We got an SC ruling. But what has truly changed since?

Agree. There are so many organisations that are still up to their eyeballs in this nonsense. Look at the puberty blocker trial. Using mentally ill kids to perform medical experiments on. It’s really chilling.

If you really dont believe the pendulum is swinging the other way and all these issues will be dealt with, then that's your perogative. I have seen plenty of change in the right direction. A way to go? Yes, but it will happen.
The other issues mentioned are getting worse/ under threat. I choose to prioritise them.
Insulting people for having this view doesn't help your cause

I hope you're right, but I live in Bristol and the behaviour of the (majority) Green Party councillors about trans issues has been absolutely infantile. We're talking sub sixth-form debating society stuff.

Unfortunately there are no signs of a return to reality here. Although one Green councillor did actually have the decency to resign due to their behaviour. And tbh, witnessing the childishness of the councillors on this issue gives me zero faith in their ability to deal with any other issues.

Yes, I understand that such is their commitment to democracy, and rational adult debate, that Green Party councillors in Bristol have taken to walking out of council meetings and refusing to listen to constituents if there is any danger of them hearing an opinion they don’t agree with.

How is this dereliction of duty, disrespect for democracy and utter contempt for the people they’re meant to be representing in any way enticing for voters?

A disagreement is not this. You are gassing on about women's rights and the Green party, you are literally arguing the same points as Kemi and Farage both of whom want to be rid of the ECHR which protects women's rights.

I have looked back at my posts as I thought I was either drunk or you'd pulled it of context, it was the latter.

To be fair, pretty much every post of yours on this thread that I have read is rude and dismissive of PPs concerns (admittedly, I haven't read all of them, you seem to have been posting constantly all day). I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, you're definitely not giving the impression that the Green Party is not full of misogynists.

What are your thoughts about the behaviour of GP councillors in Bristol btw? I'm assuming you're a party member.

Skinnysaluki · 09/02/2026 15:49

do you account for the survivors of rape, dv and sexual abuse who are not transphobic?

It’s not anything-phobic for a rape or CSA survivor to not want a man in a woman’s space.

You really are as bad as an MRA - making out that even when people have been raped, they have to put the interests of men and their dicks before themselves

I am a survivor of both rape and CSA. I comment give a flying fuck about the feelings of transwomen who want to force their way au into my safe spaces. And I’m not acrid of your name calling either - I’d rather be called a transphobe than be an actual living rape apologist.

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 09/02/2026 22:46

And those of you hand wringing over “Waaaah what if people vote Reform”
Here’s an idea - have a word with your local Labour MP and Green MP and tell them this - women, 50% of the voting population, care about safe spaces. Look what happened on the US - women felt Trump an ACTUAL RAPIST was the lesser of two evils than a party who were happy to do away with single-sex slaves.

I’ll be honest - I’d vote Tories before I voted Green. At least they recognise men can’t be women and they don’t hate Jews. Unlike Green, Labour and pretty much every left leaning party. It’s proven time and again that people vote on single-issue subjects. And to so many of us, having safe spaces away from predatory men (and yes this includes transwomen, as they are men trying to force their way into our private spaces knowing we don’t want them there) is a huge priority for me and many others.

Agreed. If ‘transphobes’ are against men in women’s spaces are they the bad guys? Because it seems to me that men who demand to enter women’s spaces are the bad guys here.

Some people on this form seem to be saying that men should have a right to access women’s spaces. I hope we can all agree that this is not a good thing to be fighting for.

For me it’s simply that if a politician is prepared to lie and say a man is actually a women and women can have penises, what else are they prepared to lie about?

I know they do I am one! So you think you represent 51% of the population with your short-sighted goals and your collective thick!

Oh you’re back! Yay. Looking forward to a thread full of more question evasions and banal insults.

So tell me - why don’t you care about women’s rights? Why do you try and silence women who do?

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 09/02/2026 22:54

Goldenbear · 09/02/2026 18:10

Do you really think gender ideology is the sole concern of half the population, you do represent me, in fact, I don't want anything with the own goal, collective thick!

I know you are really proud of your “collective thick” moniker, but it’s quite embarrassing seeing that you have lied, misquoted people, and wrongly accused people of incorrect spelling.

And yes, despite your weird assertions to the contrary, be vast majority of women do want single-sex spaces retained.

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 09/02/2026 22:57

Yes, so wtf would you advocate voting for Maga, perhaps tap into any pulse of imagination you may have and don't vote against your own interests.

There you are again talking in extremes and making accusations that people must be aligned with X Y Z because they are gender critical. It’s entirely pathetic, like a child in fact. How do you live day to day if you just go round saying “Well Trump thinks the same so you must support him!”
As a PP pointed out Hitler was a dog lover.

I don't need to persuade women of anything, I'm not even a committed Green party member, I'm telling you, the seemingly smugly ignorant that not 'all' women see this is their number one voting issue, in fact some of us understand the broader purpose of democracy. I appreciate that some have devoted their retirement to exploring this issue but some of us younger crowd understand the existential crisis we are currently facing with fascism abound!

I am in the younger crowd.

And you’re very wrong - most women want single-sex spaces.

Youre embarrassing yourself with your continued assumptions

And I’ll let you in on a secret - some people care about more than one thing <mind blown>
