You mean how can you try and get rid of him collectively as a media

Considering that the media used underhanded tactics like systematic attacks against Zack and even banning his Facebook page in an attempt to stop him from taxing the rich, it's not surprising that enough voters were conned into voting for a worse party.

It is time to seriously talk about dismantling the illegal state if Israel. The experiment has not worked.

Zack Polanski is an anti Zionist Jew so it was entirely predictable that he is being portrayed as Public Enemy No 1. Meanwhile a genocide in plain sight given diplomatic cover and military assistance by the government's of Sunak, Starmer and now Burnham (with some window dressing) with almost all the media class being complicite.

Of course Polanski will "stay on" as you put it. There was never any doubt that he would continue as leader of the Greens. There is still no doubt no matter how much the MSM may repeat that there is.

"Polanski Says He Will Stay On As Green Party Leader" - MSM moves en bloc to ensure he doesn't.

Wall to wall ant-Zack reports on BBC this morning too. Operation Corbyn Ver 2.0 on full spin - same means and motive!

My politics are centre -right and would never vote Green - I consider their economic policies harmful. However this is not democracy or winning a political argument. It's transparently a concerted and orchestrated smear campaign.

Some things the British media and political class have reacted hysterically to during Israel's genocide:

* The Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban
* Bob Vylan
* Gary Lineker
* The Green Party motion

Something they have not reacted hysterically to:

* The genocide
