AIBU to question Zack Polanski’s credibility and political suitability?

[Bertiebiscuit]

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?

But interestingly Farage will do anything to avoid him. Refuse to debate him and cancelled an appearance so that he didn’t have to be face to face with him.

@Martymcfly24 If you (as someone who lives in Ireland I think?) can complain on British social media about elections in the UK, I guess I can go on Irish social media and complain about Irish Elections. But i don't as it has nothing to do with me, just as Polanski and the Greens and the number of threads on MN the day before the local elections here has little to do with anybody not living in the UK.

@SunnyAfternoonToday feel free to complain about the Irish Green Party any time because they are fecking useless

Yep I reckon there are some political peeps running scared right now so the campaign is on to blacken him.

So many sodding threads with the same title and theme.

Weird that we never see the same volume of posts attacking Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage

What about Mothin Ali the deputy leader he’s equally dodgy. He shouted Allahu Akbar and said when he won his seat in 2024 that it was a win for the people of Gaza.

This is the U.K. not Gaza.

The Greens have been heavily infiltrated as they are not the party they were a few years ago…far from it!

The Greens are truly useful idiots.

Heavily infiltrated by British citizens who wish to see an end to war and conflict and replace with a focus on de-escalation and diplomacy.

Tommy Robinson isn’t an MP and nearly every bloody thread in here is full of people attacking Farage.

Work away dear. Complain about whomever you want, I most certainly do. You should hear my father giving out about the Green Party and cycle lanes!

I couldn't give a shite who ye vote for, I'm only making an observation on the amount of same topic threads I have to go past when I'm doom scrolling.

@Greyblankie not recently. It’s ridiculous now.

A guy who is even talking about the size of women's breasts gets an automatic No from me. Seriously

I mean I used to spend my time as a teen moving my arms back and forth saying "I must I must I must increase my bust" and genuinely believed it worked.

Also he wouldn't be the first or last politician with a name change, Ted Cruz in America, Boris Johnson in the UK even Benjamin Netenyahu surname is from a name change by their father before him.

I also dont think there is anything wrong with someone saying Alluah Akbar and I would love someone to explain what is wrong with it.

But let's be realistic its unlikely that he will have any momentum so im not sure why the smear campaign, its pointless. Just let people go and vote and hope that they dont vote for Farage.

But what do I know? Im only Irish and its not like the politics of our nearest neighbour has any impact on us at all.

omg I've just remembered I used to do that too! In my own defence I was only about 13 though and not charging people to increase their bust size just indulging in a bit of wishful thinking.

It's way more cynical for an adult man to get women to pay for the delusion.

ZP's response to the hypnotits situation sums him up. He says it wasn't a service he routinely offered, and he only agreed to it because it's what the journalist asked for. He's a grifter who tells people what they want to hear. Much like the other cheek, Farage.

It’s so weird. Starmer has no convictions or real beliefs- a cardboard box would be more passionate that him. Farage as we know is massively problematic, and his Jewish classmate has said Farage regularly used to say to him that ‘Hitler was right’ but I’ve never seen threads about him 🤯 but yeh Polanski said something about making boobs bigger….

Polanski is the 'new boy' in politics so the focus is on him rather than Farage.
I've seen plenty in mainstream media about Farage and his 'Hitler was right' comments to his fellow students at Dulwich College. He's been in the public eye for far longer than Polanski and only last week the fact that he was given £5 million by a donor was well publicised as is the fact that his partner is the actual owner of Farage's home in his constituency (Clacton).

Yep - Polanski and Farage - both opportunistic grifters and charlatans.
It’s genuinely worrying how so many people are gravitating to the extremes - far right and far left - two sides of the same coin.

But the thing is, farage should also be the ‘new boy’ in politics. Up until July 24 he wasn’t even an MP. However for the last, say 15 years he’s been given a platform on mainstream programmes like question time. So he’s absolutely not treated the same as Polanski and is not under as much scrutiny. Even when he was a nobody he was somehow making front page headlines and being treated as a legitimate voice.

He is a dreadful man.

The fact that Farage has been on the political radar for years (even when not an MP) means that he has had huge amounts of publicity that Polanski is only now being subjected to (and let's face it, Polanski has made a rod for his own back spectacularly last week when criticising the police in Golders Green).
Farage was instrumental in the success of Brexit. You can't get much more political than that.

Give it time.

It's because there are elections tomorrow in large parts of the UK, so politics is obviously a hot topic at the moment!

He’s also a complete weirdo. The kind of guy you would cross the road to avoid, and someone you use a reference to scare the kids. How do people vote for him with a serious face?

It's so weird that people who can see Farage for the grifter he is can't see the same in Polanski. I mean this is a man who left the Lib Dems largely because he couldn't get selected as an MP.
