Polanski claimed he could use hypnosis to enlarge womenโs breasts, was a Lib Dem but was rejected as a parliamentary candidate so like Liz Truss moved party.
Hardly the same.

The young have so little hope theyโre fertile territory for a populist chancer who offers them everything they want except reality.

Weโre polarising, which is tough for those in the centre.
