UK: Reform Reports Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Over Instagram Post
Is reporting Polanski a matter of equal justice or is Reform guilty of selective outrage?

The Spin
Left narrative
Polanski mistakenly accepted a 20-post social media collaboration without seeing the full content. Meanwhile, Reform councillors have openly called for people to be shot or hanged with zero consequences. Reporting Polanski while shielding their own members from accountability exposes Reform's free speech stance as nothing more than selective outrage.
Right narrative
The law must apply equally to everyone, no matter who you vote for. Lucy Connolly faced prison time for a deleted post seen by fewer people than Polanski's, leaving no acceptable outcome other than jail. For all the cries of far-right extremism, this post once again proves it is really the radical left that continue to endanger the lives of British politicians every day.
