General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
Very funny that they dug this up the day the Mandelaon files dropped. I can't wait to hear about the hypnboobs thing the next time Labour fuck up.
The fact that this is really the only thing they've got on him as well.
Straws have never been clutched like this.
I think it's clear that he did, in fact, believe that he could hypnotise women's breasts bigger. And then backtracked when he became a politician and realised this would look bad for him.
Right now I would still vote for the Greens but my god can't we have someone with good policies AND who has never tried to hypnotise women's breasts bigger??
PS. Here is what his website looked like a year after the Sun article was written: https://web.archive.org/web/20141025071852/http://www.zackpolanski.com/page/1/. The main page doesn't advertise breast enlargement, but the blog does mention positively the Sun article. He clearly wasn't ashamed of it, or trying to "defend" himself from misrepresentation. I think we can safely conclude that the guy genuinely believed in hypnotherapy -- him being a professional hynotherapist charging £200 a session and all -- and that this extended to breast enlargement. Whatever he currently believes, I don't like the left denying this apparently basic truth.
Oh ok so he was a professional hypnotherapist grifting about making big booba with his mind waves.
I mean 
a man’s gotta make money some way, I guess? At least it’s not him having poor judgement and being wishy washy on the topic of Corbyn being an anti-semite, which he was
What do you mean by that last bit? Was he wishy washy on Corbyn's anti-semitism? I saw that he was wishy washy on the "Zionism is racism" motion.
He lent tacit support to the accusations iirc
Lmao what the fuck?
If believing in hypnotherapy for breast augmentation is the worst dirt labour are digging up on him then I am unfazed
And some people call this leadership material.
Not only was he lying then, but he seems to still be lying about it now. That’s a problem.
Its certainly a problem, but its a lot less damning than what you could say for other parties' leadership
