Green Party leader suggested that hynosis could increase breast size by up to 4 inches! 😂

Boobgate. Is this Party just out for giggles? Lighthearted touch to round up disenfranchised voters.

Afterall, they also claim men can become women so 🤷

Because they're such a serious and credible party

They're at risk of getting a lot of MPs.
Which is terrifying.

Are you talking about something that has been dug up from 13 years ago?

It's quite funny how the Green Parrty's by election win has put the wind up so many people they are just desperate.to discredit the Greens.

I think they've done that to themselves. No one made Mr Tit Wizard make those claims. What's convinced you that hes not longer a pig?

Yes they are. The centre is collapsing and our political system is not fit for purpose. Worse, I believe we are becoming ungovernable and the Greens are just another absurd symptom of a serious serious problem we have brewing.

Zack Polanski (real name Dave Paulden) is, and always has been, a snake oil salesman, a scam artist, a fraud, a grifter and lying liar who lies.

He's just changed his scam. Upped the stakes but underneath, its the same old shtick. In another time and place he'd probably be a TV evangelist doing on screen "miracles" and selling Virgin Mary statues and bottled holy water.
It's so transparent, I find it concerning that so many people don't seem to be able to see it.

Sounds quite sensible compared to many political ideas out there- I mean Liz Truss tanked the economy and pissed away the GDP of a whole generation in 40 days- and you think the above belief is laughable- really, plus it's from years ago- is that the best you can do?

It's possible that believing what he did is ridiculous as well as thinking what Liz Truss did was awful. Both things are possible, it's not an either or 🙄

If you read the opening post, it was because discussed on TV yesterday, hence the post. 🙄

When you explain it like that, it says more about the journalist than it does about him! I can't believe people even clicked on the article or bought the paper. Is this our British culture? 🤣 Any old shit for a story.

Boring tits don't sell papers.

Boring tits don't sell papers

I dunno - Farage seems to sell a few!

HereComeTheKazoos · 14/03/2026 08:31

I also think Zack Polanski is about as trustworthy as Farage and seems like a grifter. My very left leaning dad feels the same as do most people I have discussed it with irl.

Just as well tbh as some of their policies are bonkers if not dangerous.

Onlyontuesday · 13/03/2026 14:31

Oh fgs. It was a silly piece in a tabloid. The Sun journalist approached him to ask about hypnosis to increase her breast size, and she reported it worked (!). The day after the article was published Polanski went on the radio to say the article misrepresented him and his work.

But if we're drudging up things from years ago, can we talk about Farage's repulsive racist and fascist comments please? I'm far more concerned about these.

Actually incorrect. The TV show yesterday said he didn't deny it the next day as claimed, and showed the entire interview. They looked for the claimed denial and there was no such programme in which he denied it.

Still, it's less harmful that he believed breast size could be increased by hypnosis, than men can be women by just saying so. That is also deluded. Strange what some people believe 🤔

Can they shrink them too? 🤔. Id rather have mine shrunk. 😆 🤣

Zack Polanski was formerly a member of the Liberal Democrats. He joined the party in 2015 and was active in various capacities, including running for Camden Council. However, he switched to the Green Party in 2017, where he has since held several positions, including Deputy Leader and now Leader.

He's a grifter! He joined the Lib Dems in 2015, a long time after the student tuition fiasco and all the other bollocks Nick Clegg did, and then left in 2017 apparently because 'they weren't left wing enough'? What a pile of steaming! He's no different to Blair, infiltrating a party he had no business being in because the career trajectory looks to be a clear one.

SadSadTimes · 14/03/2026 09:18

Exactly

@Onlyontuesday this was what was being discussed on TV yesterday, that he lied about correcting his claim in a subsequent interview. He didn't correct it, the fool believed it, made him sound a bit of a grifter, money to make pushing that, or a laughing stock.

Dave the Grifter does seem to have made himself look like an enormous dick...so maybe there is some truth in it. Wink

MrsHaroldWilson · 14/03/2026 09:44

What pisses me off about this is the assumption all women want bigger boobs. I would lay money on, if there were a poll, excluding women who were happy with their breast size, at least 50% would want smaller breasts. I know I would. I'd be an 'A' cup if I had the money for surgery and it was possible.

Dave the Grifter also pretends to believe men can be women and they belong in women's sports, changing rooms, prisons, etc. and the Green Party has spent £1 million so far defending this position in the courts.

The Hypno-Tits crap was a cynical money making scheme of his past life. This current pretence is actually dangerous and damaging for the rights of women and girls.

Very true the 'men can be women' and so should muscle their way into women's spaces is far more dangerous. Recording crimes as the chosen gender is nuts and skews statistics too.

I do wonder if all of those individuals who are sincerely concerned about the environment and have donated to the Green Party are also happy to have their donations spent in this way?

If this is the worst dirt the media has on him then he’s probably a pretty decent person… I’d rather a guy who did something stupid like this than a racist, antisemitic bully who tormented fellow pupils for years at school.

It's not either one or the other you know. Two politicians can be stains on society at the same time.

I'd rather a politician that was up to the job, not a grifter waster. How about that?

Its not an either or between those 2 though. Who suggested racist Farage as better then Dave the Grifter? Only in your head did that alternative happen.
