Polanski comes out swinging against Labour smears

Continuing his laudable approach of taking smear campaigns head-on and taking no prisoners, Green party leader Zack Polanski has shredded Labour’s feeble attempts to smear him. Other politicians might hide, deflect, or deny. Polanski posted to his social media that Labour is attacking him to try to distract from their own chronic problems with paedophiles and corruption.

His post points out:

• Starmer’s decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as a senior adviser and UK ambassador to the US knowing Mandelson was a fan-boy and close friend of serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson has now also been exposed insider-trading and leaking government information to Epstein.
• Starmerite MP Dan Norris’s second arrest for rape and sexual assault. Norris was also arrested for alleged paedophilia – just the latest in a long line of Labour Zionists.
• Starmer’s former front-bencher Tulip Siddiq’s prison sentence in Bangladesh for corruption.

He also includes a composite image of Labour’s smears to leave no doubt just how feeble Starmer’s party has become:

Questions about Mandelson, his heinous crimes and how much Starmer knew.Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested – 2 counts of rape.Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years.I wonder why Labour have made 3 attack videos about me in the last 24 hours?They’re done. Finished. Toast.

Unlike Polanski, Starmer has an appalling record

And Starmer’s personal record is appalling, from his time as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) through to what passes for his leadership of the Labour party.

Starmer was an awful DPP, according to staff who worked under him. But his awfulness went beyond merely being a bad boss. He relentlessly pursued Wikileaks founder Julian Assange over what turned out to be spurious allegations ultimately dropped by Swedish prosecutors. The CPS then destroyed the records of Starmer’s involvement, but he flew to the US to discuss Assange’s extradition with US officials.

Starmer also notoriously failed to prosecute serial rapist Jimmy Savile. Those around him have issued ‘non-denial denials’ that Starmer was personally involved in the decision not to prosecute. However, it stretches belief to think that a serial rape case against Britain’s then-most famous entertainer would not have crossed the boss’s desk. Regardless, as boss the buck ultimately stopped with him anyway.

Starmer was also DPP when, according to departing Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in 2024, Welby informed Starmer’s CPS about the child abuse committed by paedophile church barrister John Smyth. Welby said that he:

believed wrongly that an appropriate resolution would follow.

It never did. Smyth was never prosecuted and, just as with Savile, the scandal only broke after his death. Now to Starmer’s blighted tenure as Labour ‘leader’.

Not much better as Labour leader

Starmer welcomed London MP Neil Coyle back under the Labour whip despite Coyle being found by Parliament to have sexually harassed a staffer, as well as racially abusing a Chinese-British man – and when-Chester MP Chris Matheson was under investigation by Parliament for sexual harassment, neither Starmer nor the party machine suspended him pending the outcome of the investigation, as would be usual practice to protect the women around him.

Matheson resigned only after he was found guilty by the parliamentary panel of ‘threatening’ sexual misconduct. Starmer also protected at least two further alleged sex pests on his front bench, despite ongoing investigations.

And while Starmer’s cronies were deselecting or blocking potential left-wing parliamentary candidates on any pretext it could find, they were ignoring legal advice to let their mates stand. Labour’s National Executive ignored the advice of its barrister that it needed to thoroughly investigate allegations of ‘serious’ sexual assault brought against then-Redbridge council leader and slum landlord Jas Athwal. Athwal is a right-wing Labour figure close to Starmer’s Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Instead, the NEC dropped the case and reinstated Athwal, who is now a Labour MP after a questionable vote to select him as the party’s candidate in Ilford South.

Rotten

Perhaps most seriously, Starmer and his then-sidekick David Evans covered up Jewish whistleblower Elaina Cohen’s allegations of serial abuse of women by a party staffer.

Cohen repeatedly warned Starmer and Evans that a staffer working for then-Perry Barr MP Khalid Mahmood – and allegedly Mahmood’s lover – was engaged in ‘sadistic’ and ‘criminal’ abuse of vulnerable Muslim women. The victims were fleeing domestic violence, through the now-defunct domestic violence ‘charity’ that she ran.

Warned time and again, Starmer and Evans did nothing. Mahmood remained on Starmer’s front bench as long as he chose to be there. Cohen was sacked from her role as a parliamentary aide.

One of the victims gave evidence, at Cohen’s successful wrongful dismissal tribunal, of the abuse she and others had suffered. This included blackmail and sexual exploitation. Her evidence was not challenged by Mahmood or his lawyers. Mahmood admitted under oath to the tribunal that he had also personally made sure that Starmer was fully aware of Cohen’s allegations.

Despite the abundance of evidence, this mountain of vileness has been almost entirely ignored by ‘mainstream’ media. It’s time for that to end.

Go on, Zack Polanski. Go to town.
