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?

Are you serious? Every second post was about them over the summer!

You've never seen threads about Farage?

I don’t think he’s evil but like all the Greens, he’s a childless overgrown sixth former who sees the UK as a ‘project’ rather than a country that needs to be run practically and sensibly. He will have no descendants to actually live in whatever Petri dish they create, same as the rest of them. He has zero grip on the economy, he confused the debt with the deficit.

Of course he's not suitable - he's an anti--Semite.

Its not just that though is it. Hes extreme hard left with woke Bullshit. Extremely dangerous when in the hands of the vote of the simple minded brit.

There are posts about Zack being evil. Seriously? With all that’s going on in the world, quite a few posters here need to go touch grass. It’s ridiculous behaviour.

Are you a fan of his work then?

@icepopsincoming These are local elections about local issues bins, pot holes, community issues and concerns. Not foreign policy.

The Greens flyer I received was about Gaza the first thing they are talking about! Didn’t know Gaza was a part of the UK that’s news to me.

This is the UK and the Greens are more concerned about a country thousands of miles away than the UK economy.

Try this in reverse and less than zero chance you would be allowed to so this elsewhere; you wouldn’t be able to stand in most of those countries in the Middle East never mind put another countries interests at the heart of your concerns.

@MyLimeGuide what work? I’ve heard Tommy Robinson marches being defended by politicians in the news this week as “not hateful”. The world has gone crazy. Posters in here calling Zack “evil”. When did Reform become so acceptable?

As opposed to a Far right "Politician" like Farage, who does very little actual "practical and sensible" work, takes bribes from foreign-based billionairesand sees the UK as a profiteering playground. I can't believe people actually want to vote for a person who wants to get rid of the NHS. It's ridiculous how low the bar has sunk.

It's so patronising to dismiss the Greens as "sixth-form politics", I suppose you regard the Far right as "adult" then?!

Why are you using "childless" in a pejorative way?

Childless? No descendants? What the hell has that got to do with anything? I mean disagree with him all you like but to criticise him for being childless is scraping the barrel!

Similar happened when there was a risk of Corbyn getting into power. There are forces at work here…

I’m no Polanski fan but in the context of modern politicians he’s no more a snake oil salesman than Starmer, Johnson etc etc. At least Polanski isn’t appointing known friends of the world’s most prolific pedophile.

It's already been 42 years in our town. They are all amazing community leaders.

Why would it matter if he's fake? The things that he openly says should be reason enough to never vote for him. In fact, the idea that maybe everything he says is a lie makes me feel more favourably about him.

I really think MNHQ need to do something about the reform bots on here.

What ‘forces’ are at work.

I don't know about where you are but this is the norm here when elections are looming. If you point out that there is an agenda, you get shot down. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's almost like people see this man as a threat - but why would he be, because nobody in their right mind would vote for him?! Very amusing.

Whether people like him or not, the antisemitic cartoons being published in the papers right now - straight out of the Philipp Rupprecht book of illustration - are absolutely horrifying. I haven't seen a thread started about that. It's all very strange and worrying that someone - anyone - could be so freely abused in that way and the level of cognitive dissonance on the matter is mind blowing.

I was responding to your post about Mothin Ali being elected in 2024 as well you know. I was not commenting on local elections. But now you mention it, I'd be grateful to have Mothin Ali protecting my community like he did during the riots 2 years ago. This is a man all about looking after the citizens of the UK - he also agrees with Green policy about diplomacy and deescalation. He puts this into action, literally, and has been hailed a hero for it:

Also he wouldn't be the first or last politician with a name change, Ted Cruz in America, Boris Johnson in the UK

Ted Cruz and Boris Johnson both use their middle names/variation of, so not really a name change, since they had those names already.

@icepopsincoming nope I didn’t know ..I’m not a mind reader!!

I thought you were talking about the Greens in general.

No need to resort to being so snippy, you are clearly very touchy and defensive.

I don't think reverting to a family name that was hidden by ancestors because of the anti-semitism of the time is fake.

He is a fool. But he has got the membership up. If the Greens do well tomorrow then just wait until the media start up with looking into his past.

He chose the name Zack from a novel.
