Minister who serves Starmer has the gall to call Polanski 'unfit'

Given that Heidi Alexander thinks Keir Starmer IS fit to hold office, should we really care what she thinks about Zack Polanski

Polanski

Despite serving the UK’s most unpopular PM since polling began, Alexander had the gall to describe Green Party leader Zack Polanski as “unfit” on Sunday 3 May:

.@Heidi_Labour says Zack Polanski is unfit to lead a political party.

Unlike Zack, she supports & arms a regime thats murdered journalists, bombed hospitals, burnt people alive in tents & slaughtered tens of thousands of kids

So, what was it that made Polanski “unfit” in the eyes of this genocide-supporting monster?

Also, if she thinks Keir Starmer is fit, should we really care when she thinks someone else is not?

Disgusting and abhorrent

First things first, when we say Alexander supported a genocide, what we mean is she served in a government which provided material and political support to a country waging a genocide. We appreciate she got a bit sad about the victims on Question Time that one time, but words and crocodile tears mean nothing if you’re literally facilitating the thing you claim to be upset about:

Alexander said Polanski is “unfit” because he criticised how the police handled the alleged knifeman who attacked three people on Wednesday 29 April.

.@Heidi_Labour, if retweeting someone questioning the behaviour of police is disgusting & abhorrent, how would you describe a politician who’s supported & armed a regime thats slaughtered tens of thousands of kids? You think you’ll ever be able to wash the blood off? pic.twitter.com/3AN6UwZ6my

To be clear, when we say ‘handled’, we mean ‘repeatedly kicked in the head’:

We must stand with @ZackPolanski at this critical moment. The Establishment and their minions are telling us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears. https://t.co/zmKRrKrDH9

Initially, it was believed the man was an antisemitic terrorist. We’ve since learned the man also allegedly attacked a Muslim person earlier that day, and that he has a long history of mental illness. The fact that the situation ended up being less clear demonstrates why we train police officers to not use potentially lethal violence as a first resort.

Back to Alexander, she also described Polanski as “abhorrent” and “disgusting”:

Polanski retweeted a person who questioned if the police should be repeatedly kicking an attacker in the head. And it’s a fair question. The point of having trained law enforcement agents is they’re supposed to be able to enforce the law in a fashion which suggests they’ve been trained at some point. Repeatedly kicking a prone and tasered suspect instead suggests these men were terrified and didn’t know what to do.

Polanski vs the Starmer government

When it comes to Starmer, there are far more reasons to call him ‘unfit’ than his support for Israel’s genocide. For a start, there are the endless paedophile scandals linked to key operators in his administration (as summarised here by Skwawkbox):

There’s also Starmer’s:

As such, is it any wonder Keir Starmerrecorded the lowest approval rating of any PM since polling began?

Understanding what Alexander thinks is ‘fit’, Polanski really shouldn’t care if she thinks he’s ‘unfit’.
