Zach Polanski is evil

It’s a shame that ZP decided to take this route, I was hoping that the popularity of the Greens would act as a course correct for the centre. Unfortunately that’s not been the case and he’s now making things worse. I am involved in local politics and it’s a weird battleground between reform and greens here!

but she said she's seen how discriminatory the NHS is in allowing Jewish communal organisations to have input while refusing to deal with black church pastors

Funnily enough, hospital staff tend to take the input from medically trained personnel more seriously than a church pastor when looking at patients.

When my GP sent DD to A & E, she called ahead and we went straight in. It’s mind blowing casually you smear the whole NHS as racist.

Another is Jewish only housing associations - funded with state money - that are legally allowed to prioritise Jews over non-Jewish in allocating housing:

It’s legal though. Is it only Jews and poor people you have a problem with receiving public funds? No other religious groups?

There are many other examples of Jewish communal assertiveness in London. One is the coronor's service. Essentially, Jewish people wanted bodies processed by the coronor more quickly as they wanted to bury them quickly for religious reasons.

Jews are not the only religion to benefit from this and are the far smaller group. You seem to only have an issue with Jews though. Why is that?

And there have been a number of unfortunate cases where Jewish communal leaders in London have punched down on other ethnic and religious minorities. About a decade ago

So now you are scrabbling around for ‘bad stuff Jews did’ and had to go back 10 years. Ok.

I agree with you, it's a real shame that it's gone this way, I was hoping for something different for the Greens! I don't think ZP is evil, but he's taken a wrong turn.
It must be a strange time in local politics. It's probably quite febrile at times. Good luck with it, though 👍

@CornishDaughteroftheDawn - you're doing well challenging that poster's points, your rebuttals are spot on, but I don't think they're going to pay attention. I think they're too much in a certain mindset.

Dear Zack,
I was disappointed to have seen your recent post on X amplifying a post that Met officers were "repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was already incapacitated by taser".
I am disappointed because it is this kind of inaccurate and misinformed commentary – with its associated casual disregard for the incredibly challenging and dangerous work police officers do to protect the public – that is contributing to the rising tensions we are seeing in society and undermines officer confidence to act.
It is entirely possible the author of the post you retweeted had direct experience from the scene, or has years of experience handling complex, violent situation. Yet I suspect the more likely scenario is that they another armchair critic, who thinks they could do the job, possibly more effectively than the brave officers who successfully detained that individual.
Those officers are nothing short of extraordinary. They were on the scene within a few minutes, and their actions undoubtedly prevented further injury and saved lives. As I said yesterday the officers confronted a dangerous man, they believed to be a terrorist, who refused to show his hands, who was violent, and who continued to pose a clear threat. They were not armed officers, and they feared he was concealing an explosive device.
Using only their training, equipment and a substantial level of bravery and courage, they detained him while he continued to try and attack and stab them. Without their efforts to stop him I dread to think what the outcome could have been.
Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.
London’s Jewish communities are scared. They have experienced a series of targeted attacks on the community, and they expect out officers to act, protect them. That is exactly what our officers did yesterday. Your decision to criticise these officers, using your public profile and reach will have a chilling effect.
Officers need to know that when they act to protect Londoners decisively, they will be supported. Officers know they must be accountable for their use of force and there areprocesses for this to happen. Your use of your public profile to call their actions into question, hours after a terrorist incident is not the appropriate route.
Free speech is an important facet of a democratic society. We both agree on that. But against a backdrop of global instability and heightened tensions, the right approach in this situation is to show compassion, lower tensions and not inflame them further by amplifying more ‘us and them’ rhetoric.
We have significantly stepped up our activity across the capital in recent weeks, and in the hours and days following the attack in Golders Green three weeks ago we have seen communities come together to reject hatred and violence.
That solidarity matters, and at this moment we need politicians and community leaders to be at the forefront of it, not only condemning the horrific attacks but by taking leadership in confronting antisemitism and permissive rhetoric, lowering tensions and backing those who are willing to step in to protect the public and reassure the public.

To add insult to injury the same people not only don't think they are being antisemetic, but they don't think there is any antisemitism. Oh the irony.

@Whatifitallgoesright thanks for posting that. I hope helps people understand what policing is like.

Same.

Dear Zack,
I was disappointed to have seen your recent post on X amplifying a post that Met officers were "repeatedly and violently kicking a mentally ill man in the head when he was already incapacitated by taser"

I mean they were, and the perpetrator had recently left left a psychiatric hospital run by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust in recent days. Earlier that morning he tried to stab someone in South East London but we are not hearing much about that.

Frankly if there is a murderous lunatic man trying to stab and kill others on our streets the police can kick him anywhere they like, more power to them. Polanski is a pathetic wet wokey bro who just likes causing trouble. Personally i can't believe anyone takes hypnotits seriously, he's a clown.

Lots of deletions. Well done mnhq, showing anti semitism will not stand even if wrapped up in long winded sentences and 'I'm posh me' announcements.

It was absolutely shite writing. I can't stand "bloviated word salad mean me clever" text. Antisemitism, ignorance and misinformation are worse, but they're definitely aggravated when you're made to suffer twice by terrible prose.

I hope the poster is actually banned.

😂too true!

👏Excellent letter, and not populist bullshit ZP and cronies are happy to disseminate 👏

The Welsh greens rep (though green party covers England and Wales) has also (mildly) criticised him. Also the other deputy leader Rachel Millward has distanced herself from it and the "abhorrent" comments from candidates

Polanski is very online and very thin skinned about critiques. This came out mid week and by the afternoon he was already seething about it on twitter and Bluesky

Not enough to do a bit of throat clearing over it. They need to kick these people out and make strong statements against it - none of this slimy "perception" of unsafety stuff (that aged well, didn't it, Dave?) - and then act with it.

But they won't. Mothin Ali is now urging people to sue the party over the suspensions. What priorities does that show?

Thank you, that’s very kind. I think we’re all rather shocked at the blatant anti semitism with an attempt to mask it by being nasty about many other swathes of society. Quite scary to think that people with such firmly held views walk among us.

I see it’s been deleted now, but I agree with you.
What a strange post that was, blatantly spreading misinformation.
And yet it’s exactly that kind of made up nonsense some people base their opinions on.

Why do you keep saying the Hatzola ambulances are NHS funded?

“London Ambulance Service loans ambulances to Jewish community following devastating arson attack”

Did you miss that last bit?

Because Claire is obsessed with spreading an antisemitic trope (a lie, in other words) that Jews control money and services and get better care than other people, even very rich and clever middle class Londoners who hate "native British specimens". It's like listening to a shit and racist David Attenborough.

Yes, I think he can see that their are some people who are so blinkered and hard of thinking that they soak up ZPs pronouncements as if they were fair and true.

I know what you mean. Starting their first (?) post on this thread with 'many people on here can’t afford to live in London' was somewhat bizarre, to say the least.

Agree 100%. It's nothing to do with sympathy for the terrorist (zero here).
Police need to be in control and their responses appropriate to the level of threat. It takes a certain type of peron to kick someone in the head. A stamp to the wrist, for example, would seem more appropriate if trying to disarm.

native British specimens

That tickled me. As a Cornishwoman with a long list of Cornish ancestors, I may well be a genuine ‘native British specimen’ but it is an odd way to refer to an actual human being.

We are generally pretty easy going and welcoming though, contrary to that PPs claims. It is generally only uppity and entitled people from elsewhere who treat Cornwall like their personal playground, while sneering at the locals that we get a bit tetchy about. And even then it’s often more of a wind up than hostility from proper locals. Some settled incomers can be a bit more defensive I guess.
