Not sure how true this is!“So people keep pretending Zack Polanski and the Greens are squeaky clean… let’s not rewrite reality.Here’s a quick rundown, so keep this in mind if you're even considering voting Green and for that crazy party.So let’s start with dodgy Dave aka Zack Polanski having to recently apologise after spreading dodgy claims about police during a stabbing incident. Jumped the gun, got it wrong, then tried backtracking.• Made comments after antisemitic attacks suggesting fear might be “perception vs reality”… which didn’t exactly go down well.• constant issues in the Green Party with candidates posting antisemitic or outright unhinged stuff. It keeps happening, which raises questions about vetting and actual morals?? That old gem about hypnotherapy being able to increase breast size… yeah, that resurfaced for a reason.Very hardline rhetoric on Israel/Palestine, which some people who would most likely be stoned to death and chucked from buildings if they actually went to places like Gaza and spouted their nonsense .• Policies that are completely unrealistic things like all hard  drug legalisation, open-border-style immigration (although we basically already have that one), heavy state control of housing, and giving priority to migrants and people on benefits.• he Regular clashes with the media when they actually question his ridiculous policies. He’s one of those types. say it first, half-apologise later.And the rest of the crazy Green Party? Repeated candidate scandals Internal divisionsMore focused on activism than actual governing Deluded ideas… but not always clear how they’d actually work in realityMost of them don’t even know what gender they are and all come with blue hair, nose rings, and pronouns.So trust me when I say...They’re not the clean alternative some people try to sell. Damn most aren't even clean full stop! They’ve got their own serious deluded issues, contradictions, and controversies. This is a Jeremy Corbyn-style party but on steroids.If you support them, fair enough, but I suggest you wake up and seek professional help immediately. Let’s not pretend they’re above criticism. They are dangerous, crazy, anti-British, antisemitic, racist, far-left nutjobs.People acting like Zack Polanski and the Greens are some clean, wholesome alternative… really? Let’s be honest for a second.• Just recently had to apologise after sharing a misleading post about police during a stabbing incident. Even the Met called it “misinformed.”• Made comments after antisemitic attacks suggesting fear might be “perception vs reality”• Ongoing antisemitism issues inside the party not a one-off, this keeps coming up again and again.• Two Green Party candidates were literally arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred over alleged antisemitic posts.We’re talking posts like claiming attacks on synagogues were “revenge.” and basically deserved...• More candidates exposed for conspiracy stuff and extreme posts some even got suspended, or dropped.• That bizarre old claim about hypnotherapy increasing breast size resurfaced and won't go away and didn’t exactly help credibility . He even lied and said he never claimed that, even though there is actual evidence proving it.• Very aggressive stance on Israel, which his unwashed crazies support all that does is fuel division and overlap with the antisemitism rows.And he has the nerve to criticise Reform UK and Nigel Farage and call us on the right far-right and dangerous?? Zack Polanski and his crazy crew are nothing but hypocritical, narcissistic, self-serving, antisemitic, anti-British, racist, far-left haters that need to stay away from any sort of power...So my point is  don’t vote Green just to punish Labour, because you’re voting for literal hate. I get it if you don’t want Reform, so are just doing it to avoid voting for them. But maybe vote independent if you must, because I promise you Green isn’t the answer.Anyway, that’s another weekly Sunday rant from DTL. Happy Sunday.”

It tells us everything Cllr Lambert. Try reading the article or are you going to dismiss it as you do everything that doesn’t suit your increasingly narrow world view.It shows that Polanski is a chancer and that he’s dishonest. The very things you accuse Farage of being. Two cheeks of the same backside.As for Green activists being akin to Born Again fanatics, your colleague Jon Elkon is exactly that. He cannot understand why everyone isn’t instantly converted to the cause just from reading the pile of fantasy fiction posing as a manifesto. Maybe too much dabbling in mind-altering substances has affected his judgment.Here’s the text from the BBC article. Try reading it. It doesn’t even have very long words in so it should be easy for you.‘ Zack Polanski's claim to have immediately apologised for saying that hypnosis could increase a woman's breast size has been thrown into doubt by a newly unearthed interview.Before entering politics the Green Party leader worked as a hypnotherapist and offered a session in 2013 to enlarge a newspaper reporter's bust.Polanski has since said he was misrepresented and never believed it was possible, claiming he spoke to the BBC the day after the article to apologise.BBC News cannot find evidence of such an interview, but six days later he spoke to Radio Humberside to stand by the theory saying "the evidence is growing".A Green Party source said: "Zack has repeatedly apologised for an interview he did with the Sun more than a decade ago."Now, Zack is focussed on the issues that really matter to people: bringing down bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services."A 2013 article in the Sun featured Polanski offering a reporter hypnosis to increase her cup size. The reporter claims the session, at Polanski's Harley Street consulting room, had the desired effect, to her surprise.Since entering politics and becoming leader of the Green Party of England and Wales in September 2025, he has distanced himself from the claim.He has repeatedly said he was misrepresented and claimed that he appeared on the BBC to apologise the day after the Sun article was published, on 12 June 2013.The BBC asked the Green Party to point us to the BBC interview in question and also searched programme running orders but could find no record of it.However, six days later on 18 June, Polanski did speak to BBC Radio Humberside.In that interview he did not apologise but defended the claims."Actually increasingly more and more as I work with people, there's starting to become anecdotal evidence, at least, of a growth in breast size," he told presenter Peter Levy.Polanski said it was an "experiment" and needed further research.He added that he hoped people would decide they did not want to enhance their breasts but would "become more comfortable from the inside out".But he added "the evidence is growing" the technique could work."I believe that it can happen in theory and I think it's definitely worth investing the time of evidence and research into hypnosis generally."The interview contradicts claims Polanski has made since becoming leader of the Green Party.In September last year he was asked on Good Morning Britain if he believed at the time that hypnosis could enlarge a woman's breasts."No," he said."I was misrepresented, I apologised a day later," he added.The same month, when asked about the Sun piece on the Pod Save the UK podcast, he said: "I went out on BBC Radio the next day, so not twelve years later when I became a politician, but literally the next day to go 'this article doesn't represent me'."As deputy leader of the Green Party, he told LBC radio he "never believed that" women's breasts can be enlarged through hypnotherapy."I apologised immediately the day after the article 11 years ago to say that doesn't represent my work and that I don't stand by that article. I apologised because I recognised that would be offensive to people," he said.Commenting on the emergence of the Radio Humberside interview, a Labour Party source said: "Zack Polanski's ego might have got bigger, but nothing else has."It's now clear that his pretence to have been misrepresented over his breast enlargement hypnosis scam was absolute nonsense - he got called out years later, and he lied about it."You can't trust a word he says - he'll say whatever he thinks you want to hear."
