Zack Polanski, speaking about a social media post featuring a guillotine-themed T-shirt linked to Nigel Farage, says the post was a “mistake” but does not apologise to Farage. In comments reported by the Evening Standard, Polanski says he is willing to apologise only if Farage apologises first for what he describes as times Farage has put other people in danger. Polanski therefore draws a distinction between acknowledging that posting the image was an error and declining to retract it directly to Farage. Yahoo UK News also reports Polanski’s position, stating that he admits the guillotine post was a mistake while maintaining his refusal to apologise to Farage. The two outlets present a consistent account: Polanski acknowledges wrongdoing in making the post, but ties his apology to a counter-claim directed at Farage rather than to the original post itself.
