Just wondering last night what had happened to Golly grab and run.
Wondered if she would be the new poster girl for the Greens,
Truly, they’re that demented it’s exactly what they would do.
She and Kiri are starting a stealth and evasion SAS type school. Should do well under a new government.

British-made drones have struck deep inside Russian territory for the first time, hitting 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐠𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐥, 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐰, according to a report in The Sunday Times citing Ukrainian and British government sources. The weapon behind the strikes is the “Nyan,” a jet-powered, carbon-fiber drone built by Britain’s Callen-Lenz and BAE Systems.
The Nyan is designed to do a cruise missile’s job at a fraction of the cost — it has stealth features, backup navigation to beat Russian jamming, and can be mass-produced fast. It has already been catapult-launched from Royal Navy ships, and Britain plans to send Ukraine 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟏𝟓𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.
Moscow’s response followed its usual script. Russian state media ran the headline “𝘜𝘒 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘯𝘶𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘜𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘩-𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘜𝘈𝘝𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢,” while the Russian embassy in London branded Britain an accomplice to what it called Ukrainian “𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘴” and warned that “𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵… 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦.”
It’s the same double standard Moscow always runs — its own strikes on Ukraine are “measured” and “necessary,” while Kyiv defending itself with Western weapons is “terrorism.” 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝, even as Britain has already armed Ukraine with tanks, artillery, and cruise missiles.

Sending money and weapons to Ukraine is what the British have been told but now British drones striking oil refineries deep into Russia, do the British people realise they are in a full blown war with Russia?
Of course not. They really are that dumb. They will be heading this way for sure.
but rol will tell you for the 1394th time that russia is winning and ukraine is on the verge of collapse.
1395th … Your missus says “Hi”
im suprised any woman talks to you, clearly your wife dosent. dont blame her either
I prefer it that way. As does your missus.
Yawn.
i rekon youre gay or sexless/ asexual/ micropenis tbh. youre over compensating for something thats for sure.
Hmm, you may be on to something. I’ll do some investigations and get back to you. I would hate that you have diagnosed some serious issue with my wellbeing, and I totally ignored it. Now do have a lovely evening….
Well, if you engaged your tiny mind, you would see that Russia has never attacked Britain. Indeed, they were for a time allies with Britain against the nazis’. But the poms and the Catholics are determined for some 300-year-old reason, to attack Russia. Bomb the city of London and the Vatican and see the world get peaceful.
but youre ok that russia was using iranian drones on now north korean munitions?
then what about all the american weaponry ukraine uses against russia?
youre a dumb fucktard that ignores other shit to support your feelz on an issue.
If you say so. It all goes back to the religious nutters in the holy never see peace.
And people are blaming trump for the price of diesel , maybe the poms are keeping their north sea income up by destroying russian refineries pretending to be Ukraine
I have been informed by my spies in the deep south the real reason the American plane heading to Antarctica turned back was they were denied entry into Maori air space as they approached Antarctica. Apparently they had not paid enough Koha and the captain’s credit card was over it’s limit. Pictures at eleven.
You may well snigger my friend but Maori do own the Air Space not over their ancestral homeland of Antarctica, but everywhere and I mean, everywhere..
Try getting a Fishing License in Taupo or becoming a Fishing Guide there. Tuwharetoa claim they own the Air Space (and therefore the air you and I breath) above Lake Taupo, its Tributaries and broader catchment.
Section 4, of Tuwharetoa’s Fact Sheet on becoming a Fishing Guide (apart from the extortion aspect) states:
“4. The space occupied by the water and the airspace above the water is also part of the Taupō Waters.”
Now pay your dues T and you can go by the the Maori Invention “Te Flutta Flutta” to one of their traditional Homeland’s of Antarctica.

The hysterics from some of the usual suspects are mildly amusing.
From your Post, Mike Smith said this, “Tuesday 18 August 2026 would be remembered as a “dark day for democracy, the rule of law and climate accountability in Aotearoa New Zealand.”
Is this the same Mike Smith who chopped down the tree on One Tree Hill in 1994 and could not give a fuck about “Democracy” then, but is concerned about it now?
Hypocrite!
That’s OK Mike, those of us who live in NZ are not to worried about your mythical Aotearoa New Zealand.
The very same. A piece of shit then, and a piece of shit now.
How anyone ever looked at Jason Arday and didn’t immediately think ‘the lights are on but there’s no-one home’ and then continued to give him credit for any rational thought beats me.

Flock Cameras Are the Shallow End of the Pool | DarkHorse 338
Bret Weinstein shares why Flock is the shallow end of the privacy pool with Toka, an Israeli firm backed by Andreessen Horowitz and co-founded by a former Israeli prime minister, which sells governments the ability to reach any internet-connected camera, alter what it recorded, and conceal that anything was altered. This is based on Josh Walkos’s research pulled together on an X thread. …

Hooray for ending the fifteen-year failed experiment on children. ‘Modern learning environments’ or open plan classrooms were always a fad that have done enormous damage. Let’s not forget how we got them though.
In 2012, the then National education Minister Hekia Parata said “we are also doing a lot to invest in 21st century learning environments. This includes setting aside the first $1 billion from the Future Investment Fund to create modern learning environments.” That was after the 2011 School Property Strategy put Modern Learning Environments front and centre in Government policy.
It’s good to see Government ditching that policy now, even if it will cost millions to fix.
Education should be about a knowledgeable adult standing in front of one class of students, transferring valuable knowledge from one generation to the next. It’s not about three teachers in a massive barn like environment with noise and distraction that is particularly hard on some students.
This episode shows the danger of educational fads, and why politicians and political parties must be consistent in facing down bad policy from the bureaucracy, while promoting good policy that unlocks New Zealand’s potential.

Tripped and fell onto his ribs – oh, come on, I’ve seen pictures of MB and if he fell forward onto his ribs he would have bounced straight back up again like those toys that can’t be pushed over.
Look more like someone he may have allegedly defamed gave him a talking too – and nice of the media to insert a picture that must be decades old and 50 pounds lighter.
Hate to rain on your parade but it was all the work of the doll. He got the slow and painful part right but slipped up on the death bit. Never mind it’s definitely an improvement compared to past attempts. The other slight problem is he refuses to answer questions about Frank Beard from ZZ Top who is no longer with us.
so you get the targeting right for once but you dial back on the dead thing, wtf cunt! the one time the doll couldve went full blast on the right target and you fucked it
Apologies T I should have known that Darwin would need your help. Keep up the good work.
Impressive that the doll zapped the actual target this time. 😂
More luck than good targeting

Guranteed this is just about the number of themometers or lack there of. Africa has hardly any, yet seems to be getting warmer than other parts, mostly because of filling in the gaps with crap. Maybe India does have a robust network and reflects the true state of warming. And the temperature according to satelites has only risen 0.5Deg C or there abouts, not 1.4Deg.

The Government’s creating a role for what it’s calling an “independent economic umpire” who will be tasked with ensuring councils have competitive urban land markets, RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop and RMA Reform Under-Secretary Simon Court say.
The role will be an independent statutory officer within the Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport, and be established via an amendment paper to the Government’s Planning Bill.
Bishop and Court say this ‘urban land market officer’ will develop and publish a framework for assessing urban land market competitiveness.
“Using the framework, the Officer will make formal determinations on whether a land market is competitive and publish the reasons for those determinations. Councils will be required to respond to any determinations that find that the council has contributed to a lack of competitiveness,” they say.
Below is the full statement from Bishop and Court.

ANZ’s new disaster.
ANZ New Zealand, the country’s biggest bank, is set for more changes to its leadership team.
It says a Chief Operating Officer role will be introduced, with this person reporting to the CEO. And the roles of Managing Director for Customer Propositions and the General Manager of Strategy and Execution, will be disestablished.
“Current Managing Director, Customer Propositions, Astrud Burgess, and General Manager, Strategy and Execution, Keren Roberts, will leave ANZ NZ on 27 November,” the bank says.
ANZ NZ previously announced Ben Kelleher, its Chief Risk Officer, will succeed departing CEO Antonia Watson on October 1.
Before becoming Chief Risk Officer in April 2024, Kelleher was ANZ NZ’s Managing Director for Personal Banking from 2019 to 2023, and has also led ANZ NZ’s private banking and strategy teams.
Watson became Acting CEO in May 2019 after the abrupt departure of David Hisco, and was confirmed as permanent CEO in December 2019.

The brother of the late Princess Diana, says he has penned a book “to tell the truth” about his sister and her life as the 30th anniversary of her death looms.
Charles Spencer “tells the astonishing story of his life with Diana and the tragic week of her death”, Penguin Random House said in a statement, adding it marked “the first time that Earl Spencer has spoken openly and at length about his sister”.
Swan Song: Diana, My Sister will be published in Britain and other countries on September 22 and translated into 12 languages.
“With the 30th anniversary of Diana’s tragic death on the skyline, I’ve been inundated yet again with requests for interviews about my sister,” Spencer said.
“This has convinced me to write down my own thoughts and memories, once and for all,” he said, adding that many opinions were “based on untruths that have become accepted over time”.

Taxpayers Ripped Off? $2.4B Wasted On Public Sector Consultants

Labour’s candidate for Kaipara ki Mahurangi, Tracey-Lee Repia, has pulled out of the election race.
The party says Repia withdrew for personal reasons. Public policy professional Jolyon “Jo” Swinburn has been selected as the new candidate for the seat, which covers just north of Auckland.
Last month, Labour’s Selwyn candidate Nick Moody also pulled out of the election.
“Kaipara ki Mahurangi is experiencing these pressures directly. The cost of living and getting around is high, our growing communities are facing flooding and extreme weather, and we need smart planning and infrastructure to support the future,” Swinburn said.
“I am standing for Labour because it is the party that is best equipped to address the cost of living pressures we have today, as well as dealing with the longer-term environmental and economic issues we face as a country.”

EMERGENCY ALERT: LABOUR COUP ? – WILLIE JACKSON
According to reports circulating in political circles, Willie Jackson has allegedly been keeping Chris Hipkins “in the dark” while quietly working to build support for a leadership challenge.
The recent streaming-services tax has also raised eyebrows, with speculation that Jackson used the policy to “blindside” Hipkins and leave him politically exposed — a move that appears to have worked.
Could SLICK WILLIE JACKSON be positioning himself for the top job ?
One thing is becoming increasingly clear: all is definitely not well inside the Labour camp
Hope he doesn’t. Hipkins is the best thing for the Nats at the moment.
yawn, more bullshit from x.
Fox in the hen house💩 If he became leader Wilie would form a coalition with his “best mate” JT and TPM. 😮
On the off chance that our friend & religious nut ROL has finished spilling his seed I’ll post this link. https://expose-news.com/2026/08/17/nearly-half-of-measles-cases-are-among-vaccinated/
It would seem that the measles, mumps, and rubella (“MMR”) vaccine, widely cited as having ~94% effectiveness after two doses, is no longer offering protection from the virus.
#. “While the presence of vaccinated people among confirmed cases does not diminish the administration’s role of vaccination regarding reducing the severity of measles…..”
As I recall the same crap was trotted out to keep the unwashed lining up to be jabbed & rejabbed with Pfizer’s poison during the Covid scam.
#. “Questions remain on the matter of efficacy, however, when a large percentage of cases in a transmission chain are in the vaccinated.”
Amen.
Huge number of teachers down with the flu, real flu, Influenza A. They mostly line up like sheep whenever someone pulls out a needle for what ever vaccination is the rage at the moment. Some have noticed that those who have not been vaccinated don’t seem as sick…. I wonder why….
I heard a doctor today speaking about the Influenza A going around NZ. Apparently it is okay again to say once you’ve recovered from a flu strain you’re immune to catching it again.
Great how the human immune system has remembered that ‘trick’ now the covid strain has disappeared. //
Flu vaccine has negative efficacy in terms of catching it.
I’ve always held that if you don’t want to be sick then stay away from sick people & schools are petri dishes of diseases, both vanilla & novel.
But the mRNA vaccines along with the regular flu vaccines are a risk factor rather than preventative measure for the normal winter ills that plague us.
You say that but there are something like 250 trials over many years where they have attempted to infect people with disease by transferring mucus from infected people or enclosing infected people in the same room with healthy people with bugger all success. The most famous being done with the Spanish Flu. Here’s a summary.
https://www.unbekoming.com/p/no-contagion-2026?utm_source=substack%2Csubstack&utm_medium=email%2Cemail&utm_campaign=email-restack-comment&r=8t5o1&triedRedirect=true
I don’t know what the truth is here but I do know that healthy diet and exercise to avoid metabolic disease, staying away from vaccines and most of the other shit dished out by the medical industrial estate is a good place to start if your goal is to stay healthy.
You make a good point but I still assert that not coming in contact with diseases is a good strategy.
1) Personal health is not necessarily linear. We all have ups & downs in our ability to ward off infection for reasons as varied as diet or stress.
2) Viral overload. The body’s defence mechanisms may be able to defend itself against most assaults but it can get overwhelmed.
The only thing that stops me from accepting that viruses don’t exist is that I have yet to hear a plausible explanation for what actually causes a multiple people to get sick contemporaneously and why getting something like measles only happens once. The truth is out there I’m just not certain where to find it.
Just had a touch of shingles. Bloody painful.
Find some colloidal silver and take that for a reasonable period. Chemist Warehouse or Health House. Double what they tell you. Its kill viruses. Look it up if you need info about what it’s good for. Used to be a lot stronger but was putting docs out of business, so Pharmer cut the dose using funded pollies.
Been known for a few hundred years.
just dont go too crazy on the colloidal silver or youll end up like this chap 😂
nz stuff is weak as fark, 20ppm??? anyways its super easy to make, i used to make it quite alot back in the day for…. reasons.
anyways 2 silver rods/wires connected to 2 or 3 9v batteries and keep them seperated in a jar of distilled water. gotta wipe the crud off the silver every few hours tho but you can easily get 100ppm colloidal silver in a day.
good for festered cuts etc too.
Yep, you can. What kept the royalty from getting sick in the old days? Silver goblets of red wine.
at least Mthylene lue dosen’t do that. Bloody goo stuff though.
Blue lives matter.
Yup, I have a friend who swears by it for a whole bunch of ailements. And try horsepaste, you never know…..
Media Insider: Blogger Martyn Bradbury hospitalised with broken ribs and ‘a lot of blood loss’
A prominent New Zealand blogger has been hospitalised after suffering broken ribs and serious blood loss following a fall in Auckland’s Mt Eden.
The Daily Blog’s Martyn Bradbury texted the Herald overnight with a message and photograph from his hospital bed.
“So sorry no show tonight,” he said, referring to his weekly podcast The Bradbury Group. “I had a medical emergency – 3 broken ribs and a lot of blood loss.”
Bradbury told the Herald from his Auckland Hospital bed today that he had fallen while walking in Mt Eden Village on Tuesday last week.
Bradbury, meanwhile, is expected to be in hospital for at least one more night, if not more.
“They’ve introduced me to this wonderful thing called morphine, and so it’s chugging along, but it’s very frustrating.

Bomber’s Injuries Revealed
WELLINGTON — Political commentator Martyn “Bomber” Bradbury is reportedly recovering from a bizarre altercation with his own reflection after what witnesses described as a “deeply unsettling encounter with a white cis male.”
According to Police, Bradbury entered his bathroom, looked into the mirror and was allegedly shocked to discover a white cis man staring straight back at him. The encounter quickly escalated, with Bradbury apparently throwing himself into a furious confrontation with the mysterious figure.
The incident reportedly left Bradbury with three broken ribs, several bruises and enough confusion to require a feeding tube. Sources close to the horrific scene claim he remained adamant that the man in the mirror had “started it.”
Doctors are said to be monitoring his condition, although medical staff have allegedly warned that further mirror exposure could be dangerous. Bradbury’s reflection, meanwhile, remains at large and has declined to comment.
Bradbury has highlighted what happens when a country’s primary health care system gets choked to the point where it no longer functions. He has been quoted as saying:
#. “I thought I’d just bruised them, and kind of put up with it for a week. I tried to get into a GP, but there’s just no way you can see anyone on short notice.”
So rather than a prescription from a GP for antibiotics he is hospitalised for a couple of nights minimum. The going rate for a NZ hospital bed is $1850/night plus drugs/treatment vs a GP’s government subsidy fee of about $25/visit. This is the real cost of the doctor shortage in NZ.
You’d get quicker primary care in Calcutta!
while in the south our hospital care and cancer wait is shit house at least we can call the dr or dentist and get in usually the same or next day.
funny thing is if bomber lived in the communist world he yearns for he wouldnt get treated and he be dead right now… fucking fat retard
Same problems in Calcutta I’m afraid lack of resources and long queues. The free trade agreement isn’t of much help in this case. But I do like the thought of Bomber being the test case. We could fund raise for his airfare.
Horncastle gets a slap.
The controversial plan to redevelop the former Pegasus Golf Course into 1000 homes has hit a snag – being declined for fast-track referral.
Property owners Wolfbrook Residential applied for fast-track consideration last month after purchasing the 77.66ha North Canterbury property north of Christchurch in a mortgagee sale in May.
A decision was released on the Fast-track website today.
“The Minister for Infrastructure [Chris Bishop] did not refer the project to the Fast-track on 19 August 2026.
“If a project is not referred, the applicant may apply for referral again. This is considered a new application, subject to fees and charges,” the decision on the government website read.
Local MP Matt Doocey has publicly opposed the development and he welcomed the decision via social media, congratulating the Pegasus Residents Group.
Wolfbrook has been approached for comment.
Today’s decision came just hours before residents of Pegasus were planning to attend a public meeting held by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon in Christchurch.
