We are going to need at least another 40 pages about this shit show of an anti-Semitic woman hating party...

We started these threads back in May 2025. It keeps getting worse.

You know when you watch a drama and it starts by being comic, then gets darker and darker. The threads started with the rise of Zack Polanski aka Hypno Boobs, Water Titty, ZPy before he became leader watching as he got elected in September 2, 2025.

The Hypnoboobs scandal was of course kind of funny, but what was very revealing was his attempt to paint it as a plot by the media against him. It was gradually revealed he used the drama to his advantage to advertise his business and he did claim to have weird powers over boobs from BBC footage.

It wasn't just he lied. humans and especially politicians do that. It is rather he refused to take responsibility, and ducked out. He has kept doing it again and again. Exaggerations and lies over claiming support from charities, ducking out of paying taxes, talking over women saying they don't deserve sports or any spaces, about why he swapped from Lib Dem to being Green . It is all very similar to the way many behave particularly blokes from other political parties.

Now the crazy anti Semitism within the party has been growing and ZP has failed to stop it. He did try to block it behind the scenes, but was very reluctant to face it head on. This cumulated in the Greens Conference 2006, when ZP failed to fight against the racist anti-Zionist motion in person. Instead he went to campaign in London for the byelection. Meanwhile guess what the fight back was lead mostly by 4 of the 5 Green MPs, mostly women.

Looking back at the last thread the horror is everything we predicted has come to pass. This is what headed the last thread in May 2006.
Now in the last week or so after a longstanding spate of anti-Semitic rhetoric from some Greens during the election campaign and ZP downplaying it. We have synagogues, schools, ambulances attacked, two Jewish people dead and ZP berating unarmed police for risking their lives in fighting a violent killer who was still armed with a knife things have come to a crisis point.
The Greens are becoming ever more sinister with dozens of candidates sounding like they are seventies NF supporters with comments about uppity women and Jewish power.

The October Conference 2026 was as dark as predicted. The racism was crazy. They banned the words mum and dad. Apparently women have to dress modestly to win Muslim votes. Not only was Green's Women's Declaration banned, but some Greens have now decided that women's biology is so icky they protest talks about it.

Besides ZPy, we also have documented Mothin Ali as deputy Leader who clearly doesn't believe in trans thinking, but cleverly sidesteps round talking about it. He has always had a issues with encouraging racist violence and one look at his wife shows what he thinks about women. He is also a landlord in a party which is supposedly anti landlord. Ali has been very loud talking about how bad racism is, but also loves being racist.

The other deputy leader Rachel Millward represents the posh rich faction of the Greens who manages to sounded like Reform when opposing Asylum Seekers in her area, but at the same time saying we are too harsh on immigrants in general. Obviously she also doesn't believe women are a thing. She also is a landlord as well, or rather her partner is. Yet she is the least crazy when violence and racism is concerned compared to ZP, and Mothin.

All of these people are up for re-election in 2027. The drama will be epic.

The media is paying increasing attention to what Mumsnet have been noting for ages. Mumsnet was there during the Challenor scandal which showed how awful the Greens anti-women rhetoric could be.

Their sexist nonsense has also raised protests in Hackney under the control of Zoe Garbbett with effigies of Andy Burnham being burned.

The fight back from Green Women's Declaration, https://www.greenwomensdeclaration.uk/ continues and they are now taking the Greens to court for banning them from the conference twice for being women. The court cases against GPEW from Emma Bateman and Shahrar Ali are developing, both getting through legal delaying tactics as they move to trial. Gardening is needed. These cases if successful could be dramatic in their impact.

First thread - where you can follow the rise of ZP and lots of other scandal May 2025

Second Thread:

Third thread - the run up to the Greens Conference in October 2026
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5524462-sexismother-issues-in-the-green-party-england-wales-discussion-thread-3

Note the Scottish Greens which are a separate party to the Green Party England/Wales have their own thread for all their sexist/racist drama. They split off because GPEW didn't hate biology and women/gays enough at the time.

The odd thing about Speitans AQ chum (apart from "they got jihadists in Vietnam?!?) is that Islamists, at least according to Jeremy Bowen, are supposed to despise Islamic nationalists like Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad because under the glorious Caliphate there is no nation state. I remember from early on when Hamas took control in Gaza that an AQ cell was found and Hamas butchered all of them as an existential threat

My enemy’s enemy is my friend? Just until the enemy is gone. Then it’s every faction for themselves.

That’s gone well for Iraq. Insurgencies, al-Qaeda, the sectarian civil war, fighting ISIS, corruption, militias.

It depends on if the greens can smear her as a TERF. Or warmonger. She's said to be well thought of in solving constituents problems as a councillor and has worked hard to bring together communities, supposedly

Is she a TERF?

You won’t remember the Japanese Red Army terrorist attack at Ben Gurion airport in 1972. Three Japanese people killed 26 civilians and wounded 80 others. There’s no geographical boundary to this kind of stuff.

Over on Reddit, they want him purged because he’s a TERF.

Adam Ramsay MP
To be clear, I have no intention of leaving the Green Party. I am urgently working with colleagues who share my concerns about recent developments to get the party back on track.

I have been a party member for nearly thirty years, was elected as a Green councillor in my twenties, have served as Deputy Leader and Co-Leader and was proud to be elected as an MP for the Green Party in 2024.

I am proud to represent the views of the vast majority of party members and my constituents in Parliament as a strong advocate for the Green Party's core purpose: protecting and restoring the natural environment in the wake of major threats to society from environmental decline.

The need to push these core Green issues up the political agenda has never been greater.

ArabellaScott · Yesterday 12:33

They're gonna need a bigger purge.

So, he's happy to take it back to a GC women hating party, as long as it isn't a Jew hating party. Well, that's ok then.

Green Party member urges Zack Polanski to ‘start crushing dissenters’.
They are described as ‘old guard Greens’, a lot of whom are ‘transphobes or Zionists’

This is unreal.

I think this is a great idea.

All the Green members who care about the environment can join other parties that can actually make a difference, and everyone who really vibes with antisemitism and misogyny can join the Greens.

Ereshkigalangcleg · Yesterday 14:22

Yes that bloke wangs on about “single issue voters” and how they should go, presumably he means the boring old people who care about the environment and not people who vote based on important national single issue topics like Gaza and “trans rights”

Yes. There is a risk that any sensible remaining members leave and we end up with all the extremists in one basket.

Sub optimal planning and campaigning and lack of attention to detail by the Greens.

It’s done. And it’s historic.
The European Parliament has just adopted my resolution against Islamist entryism and the networks of the Muslim Brotherhood.

I’ve broken a taboo that Europe has been dragging around like a chain: this victory signifies a major doctrinal shift in the institutions.

Proud to have carried this text through to the end. Thank you to the negotiators from the other groups with whom I had the pleasure of working—excluding the socialists and the far left, who boycotted the text. We were able to transcend partisan divides on a major issue for our societies and our youth.

Interesting.

Apparently Reform's lawyers have gone to the High Court over the Gorton by-election now.

I think it might get crazy later which lots of accusations of electoral fraud later tonight by the sound of what I'm reading on twitter. Think it might explode as a story, not least because it suits Reform's agenda.

Also, worth keeping an eye on the percentage of the vote Reform get. Rumours are they are going to do better than expected in an unfavorable seat for them. This wouldn't surprise me given this week - people who want to punish Labour but want to put in a protest vote will put it somewhere. And by-elections do funny things.

I do love a good by-election, especially ones that get unpredictable. I just don't like the parties doing the unpredictable stuff!

Yes, very interesting. Likely to have our political parties looking very carefully at the Greens. Must be becoming a pretty big issue to get to this
