Farage calls in cops over Polanski's post on social media

REFORM boss Nigel Farage, floundering under the impact of repeated funding scandals, today reported Green leader Zack Polanski to the police over a social media image.

Mr Polanski had shared an image of a man wearing a T-shirt with the words “we’re only making plans for Nigel,” alongside a picture of a guillotine, before unsharing it.

The police said they were “conducting inquiries” into the image, as indeed they are into concealed multi-million pound donations to the grifting Mr Farage from sundry crypto-capitalists and fraudsters.

The Green Party said: “Zack condemns the image on the T-shirt. He was tagged in a post with 20 images and clicked accept without realising there was more to it than he had seen.

“The T-shirt is clearly in poor taste, especially at a time of heightened fears for the security of public figures [and with Mr Polanski] having experienced multiple threats himself.

“He and the Green Party call on everyone involved in public discourse to show kindness and not encourage more division.”

But Reform’s permanently over-excited home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf accused Mr Polanski of “inciting murder,” while Mr Farage called for his arrest.

Labour minister Pat McFadden called on politicians “to be careful about what they post” while adding “it’s not the first time Zack Polanski has done something like this.”

In May, the Green leader apologised for sharing a post criticising the police response to the Golders Green stabbings, saying he had done so “in haste.”
