Inside Zack Polanski’s night in Heaven
From our UK edition
On Sunday night, the Green party booked out the famed gay London nightclub, Heaven, for what they said was going to be a ‘Green Party party.’ I paid the £16 ticket fee, donned my bright green Robin Hood outfit and trotted off to Embankment, where under a bridge the club resides. Zack Polanski was billed as the night’s headliner, and at 9:20 p.m. he arrived. He opened with typical Green party patter, asking the crowd whether they were ‘ready to take on power and wealth’, and then proudly reflected on his time working as a security guard for Heaven. When he appealed to the crowd to ‘big it up for security’, people shouted: ‘No!’ The buzzwords and soundbites kept coming From there, the speech slipped easily into monotony and repetition.
