As we reported, home secretary Shabana Mahmood said she’d like to ‘taser and deport’ Zack Polanski on 20 April. Polanski himself has now responded by doing something which is inconceivable to Labour politicians — i.e. being normal:
My own answer to this pretty odd question would be that I wouldn’t choose to taser anyone.
Who would?
And framing this around political opponents is really problematic. pic.twitter.com/iojZKcqdak

Tase test
Mahmood was also asked which of the opposition leaders – Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Zack Polanski or Sir Ed Davey – she would either deport or taser. She replied: “You are talking to me so I want to taser and then deport… all of them.”
The problem Labour politicians have is they’re all seething sacks of grudges and insecurities. This quickly becomes obvious whenever they feel free to speak openly, because they say things like ‘I would assault and deport everyone‘.
Others had an even stronger reaction than Zack Polanski:
Keir Starmer’s Labour – what a disaster

Some argued it’s just a grim topic for the home secretary to be joking about:
I’m old enough to remember when jokes were about things that were funny.
“And we deported him to Afghanistan and he was murdered 2 hours after the plane landed, oh how we laughed!”
Demons.

Zack Polanski — War of words
When Polanski isn’t threatening to not tase people, he’s defending himself against accusations of antisemitism from confused gentiles:

The correct response was sorry. I’m being an absolute ghoul and I was wrong.
But you have no shame so I won’t hold my breath.

You’ll note Zack Polanski didn’t threaten to tase or deport anyone here.
It’s a low bar, but Labour politicians keep tripping over it.

10 years ago, Jo Cox the amazing Labour MP was murdered by someone convinced it was a reasonable thing to do. Shabana Mahmoods inexcusable stupidity must be dealt with. Urgently and hopefully ending her ridiculous career for good. Trump style politics has no place here.
