We do have some diabolical party leaders, but Polanski has to be the weirdest. Not really sure what he stands for, but I don't care - I won't be voting Green, or any other party if they don't buck up their ideas. What a shower.

Who they going to snitch to, when one of the Green MPs wants to defund the police?

We've already got police knocking on doors because of posting-on-social-media-without-care-and-attention (non-crime hate incidents – if it's not a crime, why are the police involved at all?), mainly, I suspect, because that's less hazardous than tackling drugs barons.

Crime prevention?

The Green party made sense back when Caroline Lucas was leader. It's gone rather strange in recent years. They've doubled their membership in recent years I believe and I've seen a theory that the new members are taking it in a more radical direction, as if it wasn't radical enough already (at least as a mainstream political party).

I have yet to find one pair that meets all my use cases - five different set of circumstances at last count

Back when I had to be on conference calls etc I used a bluetooth earpiece - the type with a built in microphone - far better than being tethered and I could stroll around while on a call. Useful for taking calls when driving as well (I didn't have a BT equipped car back then).
I use high quality BT earbuds for music and podcasts, the quality is very good - no doubt not as good as wired buds/headphones but as I'm using my phone as an audio source, even though I generally use FLAC files, I'm not sure the difference is significant in that scenario. When I used a wired set when pottering around the house with the phone in my pocket I was forever catching the wires on things so wireless was a must. But for making calls not having a microphone means you don't hear your own voice very well which I find disconcerting.
