As I said you are an actual moron. One second you say the ''British'' next second you criticise ''lefties''. Are none of these lefties British? Reform may be polling at 29%. I wish to assure you that this number is quite short of 100%.
This is why people shake their head when they read your garbage. If brains were gunpowder you wouldn't so much as manage to blow your own hat off.

Zack Polanski is the 'I can hypnotise you into having bigger boobs for £200' guy, isn't he? Sounds perfect for the Greens.

Get some facts. You always lie. What is the matter with you? Seriously you are always so far detached from the truth.

And then in 2013, the Sun newspaper got in touch. It wasn’t quite my big break. I was working as a hypnotherapist by day, still performing in theatres at night before often going on to collect peoples drinks in nightclubs. I was asked if I could do a very bizarre article about hypnotherapy and breast enlargement. I agreed to it under the specific understanding that it was not something I charged for; and a chance for the Sun to include more science and research around hypnotherapy (which has seen fantastic progress in recent years, particularly around anxiety in NHS studies) in their health section.
I wasn’t given any editorial sign-off, didn’t see the finished article ahead of publication. The clinic works around anxiety, self confidence, building body image, self esteem and helps veterans with post traumatic stress disorder to help them reintegrate back into society.. I was concerned. The article didn’t communicate that. And I was more than surprised that it included the prices that the clinic charged for our work. I made a mistake which misled people about the work I do with people on body image, and I apologise unreservedly for that. I am horrified to have been involved in an article that perpetuated societal pressures over idealised images of women’s bodies.
I went on BBC Radio that very same week and made it very clear I never had or would offer this service, outside of the context of the article, that I want women to feel comfortable about their bodies whatever they look like. I expressed the need for more evidence based research into talking therapies. I received lots of emails from women of which I always replied that it wasn’t a service we offered but I’d be happy to have a conversation about positive body image. I also received, even more emails, from men who wanted to know if it worked on other body parts. Needless to say — the answer here again was that it wasn’t a service the clinic provided.
A lot of politicians come straight from PPE degrees at Oxbridge and go straight into politics. It’s all part of a plan for them and they live life stage managing what their political career might look like. You’re probably realising by this point that was never my intention — and it is through living a life full of unique characters and London experiences that I started to see the massive injustices in our city. I never dreamed years later I’d be running to be a candidate for Mayor of London. At this point I was not a member of a political party and certainly had never stood for election for anything! I was however already acutely aware of the rising levels of homelessness (which have got much worse ever since) and the complete lack of a support system for anyone finding the city brutal.
Now, lots of elections, and a few more years of life experience later, I am much more cautious about what I do — elected or not, I represent a whole group of people whom I’m asking to place their support in me . But this does not change the fact I think it is fundamentally important that our politicians have lived a life outside political chambers. That we don’t train a generation of new up and coming politicians to spend their entire lives never willing to do something odd, strange or a little bit unusual.
With the caveat of course to make sure they’re doing nothing either immoral or illegal.
I stand by the intention of the article — that rather than going under the knife, people can feel more comfortable with their bodies as they are. I also stand, without condition, for equal rights and challenging stereotypes and perceptions of negative body image.
None of this is to say that the journalist did a bad job or misrepresented me. When I saw the article it was clear the attention on body image and being comfortable with exactly how you are was not given the focus I wanted. But that’s a lesson learned.
But these societal prejudices around how people look is exactly the sort of prejudice I want to spend my time in political office correcting. And at the same time, without turning into yet another robotic politician.

Sounds like Zack doing a bit of reconning there.
He's an NLP practitioner - Neural Linguistic Programming - just like hypnotist Paul McKenna, and 'Imagine yourself with big boobs and you'll get big boobs' is very much their kind of thing.
(Some NLP techniques are useful but it's mostly pseudo science imo).
Here's an archive of the article. You're suggesting the direct quotations from Zack are made up I assume.
https://www.markpowlett.co.uk/myblo...ries-out-hypnosis-for-breast-enlargement.html
“This is an extremely new approach, but I can see it becoming popular very quickly, because it’s so safe and a lot cheaper than a boob job,” says Zack.
"Over the next couple of days, I feel relaxed. I’m eating foods I’ve never really liked, such as bananas. I email Zack to ask if this is related to the therapy. He says it is part of the process, drawing me to high-energy foods to encourage tissue growth".
I do hope he gets elected as the leader of 'the party of science'.

So does it work on other body parts - asking for a friend.

Let's hope so - a couple of folk around here could do with brain enlargement.

So you should retract your earlier claims. He was not offering services to increase the size of women's (plural) breasts. Neither was he charging £200.

It's interesting how right-wing binburners are entirely comfortable with absolutely any flavour of charlatan, psychopath, crook or nutter - just as long as they're hateful, evil bastards who love to punch down.

Well in effect he was, as he seems to admit. The £200 was the standard charge that such a session would cost at his clinic. No doubt it was free for the young woman from The Sun. Perhaps hypnotherapy might help you get over your inability to cope with having the Green Party mocked in the way that other parties are.
