Ill fares the land. Ominous tidings abound, such as MPs giving ministers powers to restrict the entire internet, World War III breaking out, and Winston Churchill being replaced by a badger.
But who could fail to feel hope stir in their bosom when the headline “Zack Polanski repeated claim hypnosis can increase breast size, BBC interview reveals” is a serious and genuinely consequential piece of political news?
Polanski the politician can be judged by the fact that he wants to arrest the president of Israel and build a relationship with Vladimir Putin. It becomes ever-clearer that before Polanski was a charlatan in politics he was simply a charlatan. But I am not convinced that his claim to have inflated women’s breasts by mesmerism is truly culpable. He seems to have half-believed it himself, alongside a more plausible theory that what he was actually doing was increasing the women’s self-confidence. There do not seem to have been many complaints from his customers. At some level I expect they understood that what they were buying from him was an hour with someone who would listen to them and then say soothing words. He should have stuck with his previous, more honourable profession. “With my help you can wish your boobs bigger” is less of a lie than “This time, rent control will work”.
I’m not familiar with the idea that hypnosis can increase breast size. The only thing that has ever done that for me was beer and whiskey.
David Paulden “Zack Polanski” (the chap who thinks he can encourage the wiping out of millions of Jews without his “friends” remembering that he-himself is of Jewish origin), had a reasonable business idea – hypnosis can convince people of things, for example it can make people like various parts of their body better – make them think they are larger than they used to think they were.
Where this slips into fraud is if “Zack” makes the claim that he can physically increase the size of breasts – rather than just convince some women to be more happy with their breast size.
But the whole thing does remind me of a character from the works of P.G. Wodehouse – Mr Spode (was his name Roderick Spode?) the leader of a Fascist organisation called the “Black Shorts” (a parody of Sir Oswald Moseley’s “Black Shirts”) who was blackmailed by a threat to reveal that his money came from the sale of ladies underwear.
Perhaps British voters do not care about the destroy-the-economy and reduce-the-population-to-starvation policy of the Greens (and the get-rid-of-the-Jews policy may be quite popular, it has been a popular policy, in various places, for many centuries) – but they will laugh at someone who was in the “I can increase your breast size with hypnosis” business.
By the way – the policy of the Liberal Democrats (led by “Sir Ed” Davey), both on “Net Zero” and on the “Jewish Question” is the same as that of the Greens – which is why, for example, at a recent town council by-election a few miles from me, the Greens quietly urged their supporters to vote Liberal Democrat – which they did.
In a chat room I’m in he is dubbed hypnotits.
One of the founders of modern “liberalism” was John Atkinson Hobson (1858 – 1940).
Even before J.M. Keynes, Mr Hobson was pushing the “under consumption” theory of unemployment – ignoring the actual cause of structural unemployment in Britain, the powers given to the Trade Unions (“picketing” and so on) by the Acts of 1875 and 1906 – and urging the creation of lots of Credit Money and spending as a, supposed, cure for unemployment.
Mr Hobson also (very much like “Sir Ed” Davey) could also be relied upon to support the enemy in time of war, claiming that various wars were caused by economic interests and falsely claiming that most of these “capitalists” (who, supposedly, were behind the drive for war) were Jews.
However, Mr Hobson did not just want to get rid of Jews – he also wished to get rid of various other ethnic groups, and urged that a World Government be put in charge of this task, and other tasks. H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw (and other Fabian socialists) had similar opinions – fans of World Government and also fans of government getting rid of large numbers of people – both on an individual basis (Mr Shaw argued that people who could not “justify their existence” to the satisfaction of a government board – should be executed), and on an ethnic basis (Mr Wells wanted various races exterminated).
Mr Shaw and Mr Wells are considered cultural icons in Britain – the fact that they supported mass murder is glossed over, if it is mentioned at all.
Mr Hobson was very much a “liberal” Internationalist – and, of course, a journalist for the Manchester Guardian (as it then was) – which covered up the deaths of millions of people in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The position on “Collective Bargaining” in Britain has become utterly absurd – for example the rubbish collectors in the city Birmingham (historically the second city in England after London) have not gone to work for over a year – yet they are not held to have resigned, they are described as being “on strike” – a practice by which people can just choose to not go to work – but not be dismissed.
Unemployment is, tragically, going to start going up again, and investing in Britain, under the present circumstances, would, sadly, be very unwise.
“He should have stuck with his previous, more honourable profession” is my quote of the year, and it’s still only March.
“Zack”, of course, supports government backed “Collective Bargaining”, including obstruction – “picket lines” (a military term), yet pretends to care about unemployment.
Why does the Zack having been a titty-whisperer matter? Because if he could make a living doing that then maybe he is convinced wind mills will generate base load. If you enable someone who has made such outrageous claims about breasts then God knows what else he’ll try. Perhaps more importantly people might even believe him…
When the traditional political parties continually prove to you that they are self-promoting, incompetent, and only interested in keeping their taxpayer funded jobs, who do the voting public turn to? That is the problem. At times like that, grifters gotta grift, and promise you a world of peace and plenty (or bigger boobs) if you vote for them. Manifestos aren’t promises and I suppose I could submit a manifesto that I would stop the boats, deport illegal immigrants, lower taxes, cure cancer, and bring peace and harmony to the world, if you vote for me, not realising I would have no clue on how to do any of these, and you would only find that out when I’m elected. So we vote for the person or party we consider the least worst, until we eventually elect a party that will stop future elections. In short, as Pte Frazer used to say, “We’re doomed”.
Penseivat – it is indeed horribly easy to fall into despair, and not just about this nation.
For example, the government of Hungary kept its word to the people – for 15 years it has resisted terrible international pressure, and has kept out mass Third World migration – but there is a massive propaganda campaign against this government (organised by the “International Community”, the international Corporate State, including “conservative” organs such as the Telegraph newspaper) aimed at bringing the opposition to power in April and pushing Hungary into the same grim fate as Britain, France, Germany, Austria (see the demographic transformation of Vienna – what was defeated in 1529 and 1683 is happening now) and-so-on.
Also “ending mass immigration” in nations such as Britain would no longer be enough to save the nation – as the situation has changed (as some people, such as John Enoch Powell, predicted, as far back as the 1960s, that it would eventually change) – it is now natural increase (births) which is the main engine of transformation.
What to do? “I would not start from here” is, I admit, a flippant response – but it has a lot of truth in it.
Penseivat,
You wanna keep out illegals. We’re an island nation. I’m beginning to see a solution – the Royal Navy. Oh, buggery! I suppose they eventually got the foot-pump working to re-inflate HMS Dragon! Can we all have a whip-round and get Keir a bottle of whisky and a revolver. The gun and ammo ought to be good and true but I don’t think we need to stretch to a single malt or even a “sipping whiskey”… We should, though, get Mandy in just his Epstein Y-fronts to be the bar-steward and put the video on TikTok.
Paul,
I was thinking in the shower. I do a lot of that because I can wash myself without too much mental horsepower. I think you are wrong (up to a point) about birth-rates. Yeah, immigrant rates tend to be higher but they also “normalise” if your country has a viewpoint on immigrants from Teddy Rooseveldt. I am, technically, half Irish* but I don’t feel it. I am English. You know the quote from the Duke of Wellington. If a society/government actively encourages non-integration then we collapse.
As to the overall birth-rate. I think the issue here is it is naturally multi-modal in terms of the number of kids. Some people want families, some don’t. Some want large families and increasingly that is prohibitively expensive (housing costs mainly) and don’t have them. Consider “The Simpsons”. Dad with a mediocre job, stay at home Mum, three kids, two cars, nice house… That situation was joked about in that show in the ’90s. In 2026 it is beyond risible. It wasn’t when the show’s creator, Matt Goening, was born in 1954.
The people who really want to have kids can’t afford it. That is tragic.
*Yes, I have the “Paddyport” which eases travel. The only reason.
My emphasis. Of course he does. He has to. Otherwise he’d be leaving himself open to charges of fraud.
Does it work with dicks? Asking for a shy friend.
Anonymous,
Tell your friend that it works exactly as well for unpleasant people as it does for pleasant people.
NickM – I do not agree, but I hope you are correct.

Anonymous,
Paul,
Whether I am right or wrong about family-size choice is irrelevant to the simple fact that it is practically impossible to have a large number of children these days. A friend of mine has two children. Both he and his wife have professional jobs (translator and physiotherapist). They struggle with costs. Perhaps one of them could have become a titty whisperer. Then they could afford a tribe!
NickM – many families in Britain tend to be large (have lots of children), but they do not tend to be British families.
@NickM… LOL.
Thamks, Fraser, but alas it isn’t funny. Skilled people with proper jobs simply can’t make ends meet. My Grandad could. He went to school without shoes (his family were that poor). He got a job, got promoted, and bought a nice house. That is getting to unthinkable in the C21st. You know the century when we should all have jet-packs. I mentioned “The Simpsons”. This ought to have been the era of “The Jetsons” but it is looking more like “The Flintstones”. I guess they were righteously net-zero.
Those alternative medicine gimmicks never work. Stick with the tried-and-true.
Nick M “it is practically impossible to have a large number of children these days”
Nonsense. If you are on benefits and have never worked a day in your life, then Big Daddy Government will subsidise you to have as many kids as you can pop out and indeed you will receive more in benefits the more you have.
This applies double for those with a better sun tan than you or I and who arrive in the UK with zero skills, cannot speak English and large families already.
30 or even 20 years ago, i would have felt uncomfortable with Phil B’s remarks; but now i have come to accept reality.
Mind you, i don’t blame “those with a better sun tan than you or I and who arrive in the UK with zero skills, cannot speak English and [have] large families already.”
I blame those who let them in.
Natlie Solent (12:51pm) loved your response. Made me LOL as the young people would say.
Phil B. wrote:

and I can say from direct family observation that this is 100%-true. And not only that – the very-same system that will subsidise you to have more children will actively incentivise you NOT to marry the father, and if you had a job when you started on this journey, will actively incentivise you to stop working. If you set out to devise a system to do the maximum damage to family life, the well-being and prospects of innocent children, and the general benefit of the economy and society as a whole, you could not do much better than the UK “welfare state”.

@NickM
But one thread to tease out is the change in expectations. When I was a lad, many decades ago, we lived in rented accommodation, with no central heating, no double glazing, no TV, no washing machine, no telephone, no refrigerator, no car and no ‘smart’ anything. Just a valve radio. My Dad worked and my mother did not. She had to shop almost daily and wash clothes in a copper.
So my conjecture is that one worker per family could still support themselves – but living in conditions without the trappings of ‘modern life’.
Phil B,
I think in my comments I made it abundently clear I was talking about folks with jobs – proper jobs.
DJ,
Are you from Yorkshire?
The Yanks are going nuts over legislation introduced to make all Operating Systems include age verification and require all apps (with somne exceptions) need to check this verification. There’s a very detailed explanation of the concerted effort to bring this about on Reddit that is quite horrific.
I don’t see this reaching the EU but as for the UK?
@NickM
I am not so blessed – I was born nearly 75 years ago (boomer) and life after WW II was a lot tougher than today. Most men still wore hats in the street, and women almost always wore dresses. I even recall the end of rationing (just) or at least the sudden appearance of sweets.

David,
This is not about the kiddies. That is a Trojan for general control. And control by idiots. What was Harriet’s password again?
DJ,
You are spirtually the fifth Yorkshireman!
My emphasis. Well that is interesting.
Apart from the obvious question of what will they ask for next I can see this (because gov IT systems are never hackable, right?) being a total gateway for pervs. They will know the age of who they interact with. Jesus wept. And suffer the little children to come unto the peados!
Of course this will cause “issues”. Those “issues” can only be dealt with by legislation.
Snorri Godhi – yes it is the people who “let them in”, indeed encouraged their entry with benefits, public services, and laws to crush dissent (with censorship and other persecution) that are to blame.
One would hope that other nations would learn, from what has happened to this and other nations, to avoid these policies – but, on the contrary, such nations as Ireland have copied these policies (with the same results).
Next month (April) Hungary will join the parade – a new government will be elected (due to an intense propaganda campaign by the International Community – the international Corporate State) and Third World “Asylum Seekers” (or some other name for migrants) will be encouraged to enter – “we have to do it, the European Union insists” will be the excuse the new government will use.
And, over time, Hungary will be destroyed – just as Britain, France, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands (and so on) are gradually (not so gradually now) being destroyed.
Notice that whenever the media deigns to acknowledge the existence of a certain Tommy Robinson, the report will invariably be careful to point out to any reader, who has somehow managed to remain unaware of the fact, that his ‘real name’ is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
Notice also that vanishingly few of the typically starry-eyed media reports on the activities of Zack Polanski bother to take equal care to point out that his ‘real name’ is David Paulden.
How very odd.
NickM – please note that would expose the user’s age to any application running on the system – so not just Government apps, anything. Your word processor, your Tetris game, your music player, the lot. Not to mention the occasional bit of malware that links back to Paedo Central of course. Then there are all the phone apps that everyone thoughtlessly downloads – for shopping, keep-fit etc. etc.; for the cost of a superficially attractive app, bad actors the world over will be able to scan the Internet by age group, and no doubt later by other “interesting” classifications, with no legal way to prevent it in affected jurisdictions.
Zerren Yeoville – yes.
Nick M and Barbarus – and that is the intention of the regime, and “regime” is the correct word.
Barbarus,
I am well aware that if the OS is compromised everything is. I think on of the major app issues on phones is not the ones people download. It is the ones that are pre-installed.
NickM – as Perry often says “the state is not your friend” – and vast modern corporations (who pre-install the things you mention) are, in effect, joined-at-the-hip with the state – they are, to some extent, part of the state, it is (to some extent) a Corporate State – an International Corporate State.
