Zack Polanski has admitted he was never a spokesman for Red Cross after the Times revealed he had claimed to be so on campaign websites. It just keeps coming…
Polanski repeatedly referred to himself as a “spokesperson for the British Red Cross.” On the Today Programme he admitted he “used the wrong word” but insisted that he would “go on stage and speak for them about the amazing work they do” and would “essentially take words on stage with me and speak.” Last night he posted pictures of himself speaking at Red Cross fundraisers and said “I’ve always admired the work of the British Red Cross.” Guido happens to be a spokesman for the local Wetherspoon on a similar basis…
Polanski’s new defence for his response to the Golders Green attack is that he was “traumatised to see someone handcuffed and repeatedly kicked in the head.” He wasn’t handcuffed, he still had a knife in his hands…
Speaking to Adam Boulton on Times Radio about kicking the Golders Green suspect, Heidi Alexander said:
“I thought that if I was in the shoes of that police officer, then if I’m honest, given the situation, and the fact that he had a backpack on his back, and they were worried about whether that might go off, I could, if I was a police officer, frankly, I could see myself having taken similar action.”
