Love the replies to this that are saying things like “this is getting traction because the right and centrists want to attack the Greens”. No. It’s getting traction because it is, above all, funny. It’s funny that someone in their 30s would have this as their business!

This appears to be right, the full Sun piece on Polanski’s hypnotherapy is basically advertising his services in a wholly positive light. He suggests it was a hatchet job which he naively fell for but the copy doesn’t suggest that at all.

David Icke was, alas, a principal speaker for the Greens in the late 80s.
Oh, you wanted to be taken seriously as a future Green Party leader? My bad, my so very bad, nice tits tho...
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to mention Grant Shapps without making a joke about how his various assumed names feel about the subject.
I'm so glad Polanski's finally put himself forward to the extent that this story's getting its moment. It was too good to languish in obscurity.
"He was aged 30 and renting a consulting room in Harley Street.
Not exactly spur of the moment youthful folly."
I'm not any of those things but I vaguely remember that story. Obviously it's going to be mentioned when he runs for a leadership position.
Who is his biggest cheerleader saying this?
Quite why *this* was what he wanted that publicity to be on we can only speculate
Swift recantation and wheeled out by the Greens to kasher every antisemite they've had, since.
Reform wold run it
