Do you believe in magic?
Zack Polanski hasn’t always been a rising-star woman-hating political hopeful. Not all that long ago he was a hypnotherapist, who…
Zack Polanski’s claim to have immediately apologised for saying that hypnosis could increase a woman’s breast size has been thrown into doubt by a newly unearthed interview.
Before entering politics the Green Party leader worked as a hypnotherapist and offered a session in 2013 to enlarge a newspaper reporter’s bust. Polanski has since said he was misrepresented and never believed it was possible, claiming he spoke to the BBC the day after the article to apologise.
BBC News cannot find evidence of such an interview, but six days later he spoke to Radio Humberside to stand by the theory saying “the evidence is growing”.
It’s a “theory” is it?
How would it work? What’s the link between the mind and the breasts that would enable the mind to puff up the breasts? I wonder if he’s explained it, with citations to the BMJ or similar.
A Green Party source said: “Zack has repeatedly apologised for an interview he did with the Sun more than a decade ago. Now, Zack is focussed on the issues that really matter to people: bringing down bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services.”
Do silly lies that exploit women become less creepy over time? Do they in particular become enough less creepy to make people want a Prime Minister who has that in his work history?
A 2013 article in the Sun featured Polanski offering a reporter hypnosis to increase her cup size. The reporter claims the session, at Polanski’s Harley Street consulting room, had the desired effect, to her surprise.
Since entering politics and becoming leader of the Green Party of England and Wales in September 2025, he has distanced himself from the claim. He has repeatedly said he was misrepresented and claimed that he appeared on the BBC to apologise the day after the Sun article was published, on 12 June 2013. The BBC asked the Green Party to point us to the BBC interview in question and also searched programme running orders but could find no record of it.
Well…maybe ask him to hypnotize you until you can find them.
That reminds me of Peter Tatchell and his insistence that it was all a giant misunderstanding, his decades-long association with the men’s-right-to-engage-in-sexual-behavour-with-young-boys-because-it’s-perfectly-harmless-and-all-the-fuss-about-adult-men-abusing-young-boys-is-a-social-hysteria movement.
The evidence of Tatchell’s decades-long close affiliation with virtually all of the world’s most prominent “intellectual” advocates for men to sexually abuse boys with impunity was always just a “misunderstanding” or a case of “misreporting” on the part of the media.
Ugh.
