Zack Polanski, the Green Party’s human embodiment of a lentil smoothie and political contradiction, just dropped a quote so ironic it could power the UK grid during a cold snap. In a recent interview, he passionately declared that Greenland must belong to Greenlanders — because, obviously, sovereignty matters.

But when it comes to Britain controlling its own borders? Suddenly that’s “not pragmatic.” Ah yes, sovereignty is sacred… but only if you live near a glacier. ❄️

🌍 Greenlanders Get a Say — Brits Get a Side-Eye

Let’s follow the logic.

When Trump floated buying Greenland like it was on Amazon Prime, Polanski clapped back: “Greenland is for Greenlanders.” Bravo. Autonomy, dignity, resistance to foreign interference. Standing ovation from the Guardian comment section. 👏💚

But back home in the UK? Where 67 million people also might want some control over their laws, culture, and yes — who enters and stays? Polanski’s tune shifts to something like:

“Borders are a bit… problematic. Also, have you tried hemp protein?”

This is the same political party that argues Britain should keep the door open and the kettle boiling for all. No limits, no fuss, and if you bring your own reusable mug, you’re basically family. But if a Brit dares question this borderless utopia? Well, now you’re the problem. 🚫🇬🇧

So Greenland gets sovereignty.

Britain gets lectures.

One is a proud Arctic nation.

The other is an island that just committed a hate crime by voting for Brexit.

🎭 Peak Political Pantomime

Polanski’s take is like watching someone lock their front door in Nuuk while flinging open the gates at Dover and saying, “It’s just different, okay?”

It’s not policy. It’s posturing with a compost bin.

A border for thee, but not for me.

And before someone jumps in with “Well Greenland’s a special case…”

So is every country, Zack. That’s the point of sovereignty — it’s not optional, and it’s not only for fashionable causes or distant island nations with good lighting.

🔥 Challenges 🔥

Are we really okay with UK politicians defending sovereignty — but only when it’s someone else’s? Is it now considered “green” to surrender national control while cheering it abroad?

Tell us in the blog comments — has Britain lost its political plot, or are we just stuck in a parody of our own making? 🧵🇬🇧💬
