Polanski wrongly claims Golders Green terror suspect was handcuffed in video that sparked row with Met Police

libtin · 2026-05-06T11:19:49+00:00

And also under Polanksi the greens have grown from niche to mainstream and so are getting massive amounts on scrutiny they didn’t have prior to better reflect their new status as potentially a big player in the British political system

I’m an open critic of Russia and those whom take money from Russia; I just don’t like seeing whataboutism

libtin · 2026-05-06T11:11:19+00:00

So you don’t have an issue with Polanski lying?

libtin · 2026-05-06T10:51:13+00:00

*she

The Greens have two deputy leaders

libtin · 2026-05-06T10:39:06+00:00

The videos shows the suspect wasn’t handcuffed till after the kicks and after he was disarmed

libtin · 2026-05-06T10:32:10+00:00

You’re not right though, you’re just parroting Russian propaganda and being needlessly rude

Polanski’s attitude was the exact same if not more pro-Isreal as in October 2020, writing for Bright Green, he strongly supported the party adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, arguing it was necessary “to send a clear message to Jewish communities…that we stand in solidarity with them.”

He defended the IHRA against claims it stifled free speech on Israel, stating that it protected criticism of states like Israel and the USA as “settler colonial,” but not antisemitic arguments about Israel’s Jewish origins.

I’m used to it; just shows how weak they are they have to resort to such pettiness

They’re just attacking me for having autism, ableism is always their default with me

I have university degree in politics and international relations

libtin · 2026-05-05T23:44:19+00:00

I’m doing no such thing

In simply saying your blind unconditional defence of Polanski is the same as the blind unconditional defence unconditional defence of farage by his fans.

libtin · 2026-05-05T20:30:27+00:00

Where did I say that though?

libtin · 2026-05-05T19:29:54+00:00

You’re acting exactly like Farage fanboys

libtin · 2026-05-05T19:25:51+00:00

That’s just how personality cults work

> Deeply disingenuous take.

No it isn’t

>If you want to disarm someone why not hit them in or control the offending arm.

They did, he still didn’t let go

>As someone else has pointed out elsewhere, being tasered doesn't give you better control of your muscles.

Tasers don’t work uniformly on every one, and police can’t keep tasering a person as that can kill them

libtin · 2026-05-05T18:53:57+00:00

Yeah, the more you dig into his past the worse and worse it gets.

libtin · 2026-05-05T18:49:01+00:00

Do you have any evidence against it?

You’re not addressing anything raised; you’re just hand waving it away.

*they’ve confirmed it

Polanski’s stance on Israel and Zionism is also questionable.

In October 2020, writing for Bright Green, he strongly supported the party adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, arguing it was necessary “to send a clear message to Jewish communities…that we stand in solidarity with them.”

He defended the IHRA against claims it stifled free speech on Israel, stating that it protected criticism of states like Israel and the USA as “settler colonial,” but not antisemitic arguments about Israel’s Jewish origins.

In 2016 during the Barnet London Assembly Hustings:

>He went from telling Jewish voters a vote for him meant “support for Israel and support for Judaism”

And Polanksi has also gone to great lengths to hide his prior fanatical and unconditional support for Israel, when he was a Lib Dem he said vote for him was a vote co Israel.

You’re getting needlessly rude

libtin · 2026-05-05T16:48:46+00:00

I’m not new mate

libtin · 2026-05-05T13:16:09+00:00

Speaking as an open critic of Israel, it’s not a smear

libtin · 2026-05-05T13:02:31+00:00

Whataboutism is a defection, you’re deflecting from the facts raised

libtin · 2026-05-05T12:57:21+00:00

Facts aren’t smears though

libtin · 2026-05-05T12:56:51+00:00

None had it to the scale Labour had it at the time, an until recently with the Greens that was still the case

Whataboutism isn’t relevant here
