Everything about "zack Polanski" is fake - he was born David Paulden. He was never a "spokesman" for the Red Cross. He scammed women with fake hypnotism, He is a actor with a completely invented persona, he's no politician, he's a snake oil salesman. How can anyone vote for him?

Has Polanski been spotted in today?

Honestly he's been such a PR disaster area these last few weeks, his colleagues (the saner ones) have probably persuaded him to lie low. Probably afraid of being challenged on his batshit views by a journalist.

Paulden is the name his Polanski ancestors used to combat antisemitism. So he has now reverted to his original Jewish name.

That would admirable if he changed his name to show support for the Jewish Community- rather than changing his name to deflect from criticisms of antisemitism.

So Zack has been caught out not paying council tax for 3 years.
Bye bye Zack.

He’s apologised and said he will pay what he owes. It’s more likely a mistake than a painstakingly premeditated and executed plan. He didn’t even deny it like most politicians who have been in similar situations did.
Im sure next week we will hear that he once didn’t return a video to blockbusters in 1991.

We could all do that couldn't we? Not pay tax and apologise if caught.

Hang on ... that's what Angela Rayner did isn't it. She's sorry now too.

I don't really believe that someone could forget to pay council tax for 3 years, do you?

But everyone knows they’re male have to pay council tax unless they have an exemption. Why did he not check once in the 3 years?
