Polanski is a buffoon

1000 replies

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.

Whilst I think the Green Party has turned into a populist party under this man and although I'm not keen on many of his policies

you have this completely wrong

beyond conning women out of ££££s by pretending he could hypnotise them to increase their bust measurement

In 2013, while working as a hypnotherapist in Harley Street, Zack Polanski did participate in an experiment with a Sun newspaper reporter, where he claimed he could help increase breast size through hypnosis. He has consistently insisted that he did not charge for that specific session, stating it was intended as an experiment.

are the two populist parties equal in leadership - bit harsh to claim Zach is as evil as Farage

It does show he is a bit thick though.

Yes it's an absolute joke that Reform would stand up for women's rights for a start they want to get rid of the ECHR which protects women's rights including the prohibition of discrimination, which extends to gender-based discrimination in various rights and ensuring equal rights in marriage for spouses. You'd have to be averse to the slightest pulsation of logical thoughts, if you think Reform stand for women!

But why do you assume that someone who does not approve of the Greens will necessarily adopt Reform?

Why bring it even up?

@Dappy777

You're not wrong.
The population has grown and grown and more people have been housed in what was once countryside. Without extra facilities to make everyone happy.

Exactly. Ridiculous whataboutery.

I loathe Polanski and Farage.

The difference is that I'd like to vote Green, but misogyny is my red line, so I can't. I'm probably angrier with the Greens for this reason; I expect very little from Reform and they consistently prove me right.

But that's your opinion and not the same thing as the hyperbolic right wing press articles about him. This is all what is wrong with politics now, no interest in the actual policies.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 08/02/2026 14:06

He seems more interested in Gaza and excusing attacks on police officers

He has mentioned multiple times about the state of the sewage filled waterways of the U.K. He has spoken about renewable energy. He has said many times how he doesn’t drive or fly. There is a clear emphasis on the environment but he has needed to focus on other issues to be credible as otherwise you’d all be saying ‘it’s all very well talking about the environment what about the real issues cost of living etc etc’ the man can’t win!

Have you looked into the actual story about the hypnotism/boobs thing? I'm guessing not if you're repeating the headlines...

May I ask Who you do admire, and compare him to? Just so I can get a level understanding of your politics...

The man is a buffoon. My politics have no bearing on my opinion.
His don't matter either in this context. He'd still be a buffoon no matter what his politics were.

DoraSpenlow · 08/02/2026 14:26

Regardless of their parties' policies I just can't see either Polanski or Rayner having the gravitas to hold their own the international stage with the likes of Trump and Putin.

Oh are you a Labour fan then? You do surprise me.

The Tories under Kemi also want us out of the ECHR so the same argument against stands I.e. their 'protection' of women's rights is comical and a fabrication.

I don't think its just an opinion that someone is a bit thick if they think they can hypnotise a woman into growing bigger tits.

And I say that as a big fan of hypnotism.

Of course, its also possible that he was just prepared to do anything to promote himself to make more cash. And that's why he agreed to the Sun article. But i guess admitting that doesn't fit with his new image as leader of the Greens.

Neither explanation makes him look good.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 08/02/2026 14:31

Protecting women starts with knowing what a woman is.

Cervices don't grow on trees, you know.

And let's be clear environmental damage frequently overlaps with greed and impacts those with the least so poor housing, poor health etc.

Many more women will be impacted by leaving the ECHR you know!!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/02/2026 14:33

I can suggest an excellent “growth market” (har) for him and his boob whispering talents, and it will mesh with all his stated priorities, and that target market are less likely to mind that it’s creepy and objectifying…

His ‘focusing on other issues’ seems to be limited to thinking women can have a penis, defending an attack on the police and supporting pro Palestine ‘protesters’.

I’m so tired of this shit. The threat to women comes from everywhere- with trans folk at the absolute bottom of a long long long long long long list headed up, as we have seen, by elite white men and the women who assist them.

Yes, yes, of course, nothing to see here, men are totally women and no problems occur with that idea at all.

Why have you ignored the part about his callous cheerleading of a man who hit a serving policewoman with a sledgehammer in the line of duty?

What a deflection. What happens to womens rights like the right to be treated equally in a marriage if we leave the ECHR ChardonnaysBeastlyCat? I'm sure your obdurate nature will mean there is no response just like there wasn't on the political party you do align with, presumably because it's the embarassing one beginning with R or C either way both don't give a crap about women's rights.

So, what is a woman?

You are claiming to be concerned about women's right, but you can't tell me what a woman is? How can you be concerned about something you cannot even define?

Start at the beginning.
