A really good summary of where we are at.
DOUGLAS MURRAY: How did the world lose its marbles?
Identity politics is where minority groups are encouraged to simultaneously atomise, organise and go on the attack. Tied into this is something social justice warriors call ‘intersectionality’ – the notion that there is a hierarchy of oppressed minorities and society should organize itself around correcting this.

Brain waves detected in mini-brains grown in a dish

OMG NZ. Poll on AM. ‘Would you prefer scones or muffins for morning tea’. This is the burning question while Rome burns.
I won’t be voting, how bloody puerile.
Jacinda with David Clark spouting about their cancer Agency that still won’t come in to force until Decmber, what they forget to tell people is if had not been for Simon Bridges putting in place a promise if National got Elected in 2020 they would immediately fund Phamac 50 million to purchace medicines that would help those Cancer patients the Labour promised over to years ago to help.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=379500132686311&id=45300632440&_rdr
It takes more than one press conference to forfil a promise so action is what is needed, so let’s see if you get it all up and going by December or you will carry on with blaming something else for it not being ready.
Could there be more of a polar opposite to NZ?

How ridiculous, it sounds like a good plan to test lteracy and numeracy separately.
Tell me again what teachers do for their money?
A child passes through how many teachers on average during their schooling? 8? Before they get to college and then have one per subject?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/115336067/taking-credit-from-other-subjects-scrapped-as-students-not-literacy-numeracyready
“Tell me again what teachers do for their money?”
Preach Climate Change nonsense and spout racist diatribes against ‘Old White Men’ to impressionable children?
Involving the children in their union activism by making protesting part of their classwork.
It is a lot of failure by a lot of teachers. is mainstreaming stacking the odds, should mainstreaming be canned?
Our local teachers were enjoying another “mid-term break” to give them a long weekend recently. I think they rest. A lot.
Surely women don’t take ten years to go through menopause? A year would seem realistic.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/397876/the-link-between-hormone-treatment-and-breast-cancer
The step-mother-in-law reckoned she had hot flushes for well over 10 years… (and unlike the M-in-Law (yes, I was doubly blessed), she wasn’t prone to exaggeration or moaning).
I’d love to make a comment about menopause sometime after the last few years of my life.just finished a big battle. Not nice.
People will always find a way around regulations. Lightly carved?

Lanes closed on Auckland Harbour Bridge after crash
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/09/lanes-closed-on-auckland-harbour-bridge-after-crash.html
It happened at 4.45. AM made it sound like it had just happened. What happened to the medians being able to be shifted?
Oh dear, I do feel for the comutors, see you should be using the train!
We should find out by midday if the trial of the alleged Labour Youth Camp sexual predator is going to take place.
If there is one thing Labour are very,very good at it is burying scandal (i:e Protecting the Party).
Good luck Chuck but I think you may be flogging a dead horse…
I suspect the deal has already been done.
Well, they have had plenty of practise you know and have at it for years!
How’s the PMs personal rapeist getting on?
It seems DPF is protecting KB from undue speculation today about said trial. There is no GD today….
….and posts are getting very delayed in moderation….
More like ‘the alleged trial’, even less proof than the charges.
Yep – agree. Please keep us all in the loop Chuck, and best of luck !
I will not give up if it does not go ahead. Mark Mitchell will be the guest speaker in my electorate at the Huntly RSA at 6 pm this Friday. He spokesman for justice. I will be asking him about this. I hope others may come along.
Where is Miss Pies today?
Is her apointment book published?
So it turns out the ‘Free Lunches’ in Schools are likely to be Vegan!
The kids won’t even bloody touch them….Holy Christ this Government couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery!
Surely you jest?
The beef farmers in NZ will love JA for her support.
Has anyone else wondered how much the invited panelists and commentators are paid for appearing on the AM show? They turn up for 5 minutes or half an hour, have an opinion, rarely independent and then wander off.
Yeah, I really care what Verity Johnson and some of the others have to say! //
Yep, real earth shattering news. Some of them should never have left school!
Cindy visits one of her favourite safe places, the local kindergarten
Child: “I want to be Prime Minister of New Zealand one day.”
Cindy: “Are you stupid? Are you an idiot? Are you out of your mind?”
Child: “You know what?- I’ve changed my mind. Those are too many requirements.
“Show me the money” was a catch phrase from a movie. I am asking this COL to do the same for pharmac funding on cancer drugs. They have given so much taxpayers money away to their useless overseas causes, that when it comes to increase the budget for pharmac there is no more money.
Now when they announced their world breaking Cancer strategy, they also announced an increase of $60 million. It now turns out that this money is NOT all going to be spent on cancer treatments, but spread over many pharmac drugs.
Lying to these cancer patients is lower than a snake in a shallow puddle of water.
Not so much a new cancer strategy as a measly increase across the board. Were you expecting the COL to have an effective plan? Their ability in the past gives us pause for concern and once again our concern has been proved correct.
I think that Labour is getting short of our money!
Why else would you delay something like this?
Have they spent too much?
In all of the wrong places, absolutely. What was National’s promise 50 m for cancer drugs
of course the cupboard will be very bare when they get back in plus Labour will have borrowed.
Could have made it $100m if the lunch in schools bribe had not come first. How does lunch in schools get any priority whatsoever?
Because half of them get breakfast allready and are hungry by lunchtime!
To Andrea Vance and those who employ her: how about moderating your extremist language as evidenced in your Stuff column today?
Yep, I get it: Labour and the Greens good, National bad.
Jacinda and Shaw heros, Bridges and Collins wreckers.
But your personal attack on farmers is shameful.
For those who havn’t seen the column, here are a few of the terms used by Ms Vance to bash farmers (and the Nats/Collins):
Rabble
“Catastrophise”
Angry, dodgy, extreme
Rural rump
Paranoia
Cynical dog whistle
Many of us in the farming/ rural sector are really over it.
Imagine if this rhetoric on Stuff was directed at other sectors of our society?
Thank you Gravelroad and all our rural neighbours for the hard work you do every day to feed the ignorant and ungrateful. Andrea Vance should take her vitriol back where she came from, she does not have an ounce of credibility to be speaking on behalf of NZ’ers.
Waikatogirl – I lived through the Douglas economic “reforms” of the 1980’s when farming and individual farmers and families were similarly vilified and demonised. This resulted in anxiety,depression and suicide issues – but these weren’t talked about as today.
Looks like we are going down that same road again now ………….
Who died and made her Queen, perhaps we should boycott the publisher’s advertisers?
Give up on Stuff and Andrea Vance and life improves as mindless clutter is set aside.
I got your back any day of the week and every election Mr Gravelroad. Keep up the good work you do. That woman and her vile views are only a stupid trend. Rural NZ will stay alive and well. We’d starve otherwise. The dry stock in the paddocks next to me look happy, fat, and docile. I don’t see the world coming to an end FFS.
I’m not a farmer but I’d sure rather have a beer with honest, hardworking farming folk than any feral Labour voters from South Auckland or weirdo pothead Green Party types…
Keep fighting the good fight Gravelroad! I salute you mate..
I’m with your gravelroad. Got to go and bottle feed some motherless lambs now, scoop them, abandoned, out of the paddock and raise them by hand, poor little buggers.
What would you expect from a “journalist” (I use the term loosely) who learned her trade in the journalistic institutional equivalent of a diseased rectum – she came to New Zealand as a refugee from the News of the World.
Yes the NotW, the “newspaper” that was so void of principle or integrity in it’s journalistic practices that it had to be closed down. In the News of the World, journalists were found to have hacked the cellphones of schoolgirl murder victims and the families of killed British soldiers – strange practices which I’m sure NotW hacks somehow believed was all part of “speaking truth to power”.
With the penchent for the UK trying to rehabilitate murderers and terrorists turned informers by shipping them off undercover to NZ, the uncharitable reader might presume that ex-NotW journalists are basically unemployable in the UK these days and the moving to the other side of the planet was the only way Vance might continue on as a hack.
She’s just another type of refugee from a shithole dumped into NZ. And lest we forget, who provided the ‘honey-pot’ for silly old Peter Dunne and who was considered an unacceptable security risk in Parliament by parliamentary services before her mates in Labour came to her rescue?
Given all the above why would you be surprised by any shite this arsewipe produces.
See you have a new poll up. What a bloody stirrer you are Ed asking purile questions like the AMShow’s poll scone v muffins this morning. ?
But that’s an important question. It will keep the public servants busy most of the day!
Me, I do like a curry pie. But I will have a scone with jam and cream, preferably straight from the oven. Have been known to have more than one too!
That’s my lunch menu sorted. Thanks Sooty!
Consider me stirred lol.
Poll answered in the only way i know how – smart assed
Colour me surprised..
New Zealand secondary students were performing “well below” students in other countries in core subjects, Ministry of Education officials said on Wednesday.
“People assume if someone is passing essay or exam assessments they must be literate, but that’s not always the case.”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/115336067/taking-credit-from-other-subjects-scrapped-as-students-not-literacy-numeracyready
So how was the latest round of salary increases justified then? Come to think of it, how are previous increases justified along with the cost of the Ministry that is responsible for the crumbling edifice.
Preformance pay?
No. Not under the COL and unions.
But i bet they know all about climate change, colonisation. gender issues and the other assorted bullshit that has zero relevance to the skills they need outside in the real world unless you want to PM of course that bar is now set incredibly low
Anti-vaxxers target new parents, while others nurse their critically ill kids
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/114545019/antivaxxers-target-new-parents-while-others-nurse-their-critically-ill-kids
Is the taxpayer funding these whackos?
As a single man im all about dating anti-vaxxers 5 years of child support sure beats 20
Measles can KILL, especially little kids and old folks. So-called anti-vaxxers need to be quarantined on an off-shore island forcibly. I wouldn’t want my kids anywhere near those wackos.
clever idea

I have seen these at a rural show earlier this year and they are impressive. Also available from/through funeral homes.

didnt a guy who raped 2 girls get grounded as his punishment last week?
this will end in diversion and permanent name suppression
From the Stuff article and his defense lawyer, just drunken antics eh oh the amount of times i have had a few to many and started randomly putting my hands down people’s pants are to many to recall right now no wonder no one complained just some youthful antics lol
“This was a party, there is no criminal offending here, there may have been some drunken antics… but there is no criminal offending here at all,” she said”
Dime has been drunk many many times. never once have i thought – im gonna put my hands down that dudes pants and grab his cock and balls.
wtf
luckily for him labour people are wimps. many a guy would have knocked him the fuck out.
Comments likely to upset the complainants, who have great fortitude in following through with their complaints. It would be surprising if political pressure hadn’t been applied to them and their parents not to.
I hope they realise how much respect they have earned.
“there was excessive drinking”
Who has been held responsible for supplying alcohol to minors?
Well that’s a good start.
You would think that media could be consistent around the 20 or 21 age cited, are they trying to obfuscate?
They are saying that Cidy was there the day before!
Lying toadies!
looks like no-one wants to take the bait cant imagine why
Stuffed has to have 4 anti-Trump articles a day under their S.O.P. as leftie filth.
Anything less and they will be cut off from the 9th floor fake news feeds 🙂
Fruity Farrar has – what – 5 anti Trump articles per week?
I don’t go there now as I don’t need to catch the disease that Farrar has.
Farrar should have got a TDS vaccine on 8 November 2016.
Bloody anti vaxxers!
He really cannot accept democracy with the election of Trump and choice of Brexit.
Farrar and his ilk seem pissed off that Trump has sharpened up trade, redressed balances, and not started war in two countries as his two predecessors had done at this stage of their presidency.
Trump is a Nationalist while Farrar and his foaming mates are Globalists.
Diametrically opposed ideologies.
We can enjoy the US Nationalism while it lasts.
It is so funny watching these anti-Trump ‘Thornbirds’ wishing to impale themselves as Prez Trump sends them into fits of rage.
The recent wind up- can we drop a nuclear bom_b on a hurricane? – has them all in a tizzy.
It keeps the lefties all tied up in a foaming mess and the stress shortens their life so we don’t have to put up with the crap for as long.
All good.
lol what a fucking loser
Newshub article on trial:
Trial begins for man accused of indecent assaults at Labour Party youth camp
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/09/trial-begins-for-man-accused-of-indecent-assaults-at-labour-party-youth-camp.html
Actually more about the Labour party review of its processes, or how to sweep all commentary under that magic rug of theirs where everything remains hidden from public view.
Mike Hosking is linking to it on FB as well!
Newshub will no doubt get an angry phone call from Labour HQ- Interesting that the good little comrades at Fairfax are refusing to report this….
Just got back home. This is great news. I look forward to attending the trial. It is a little way to travel so I will probably only get one day in court.
Good work Chuck!
The Labour Party are as corrupt as fuck and WILL try to bury this- Keep fighting the good fight mate!
Quite a number of the 35 have been referred to the youth court.

yeah get a sense of humour like paula!
the bitch who “will find a law to shut down these campervans” cause god forbid they had various slogans on them.
maybe this one got to her
” “Fat chicks are harder to kidnap””
maybe shes lightened up now shes creepy as fuck thin paula?
Well utu is a Maori thing. Reciprocity apparently not revenge, not from where I sit.
Which is apparently a white privileged seat, so I am probably not permitted to have an opinion.
Some of them were funny some of them weren’t. Subjective I know, but there are things that you shouldn’t need to explain to your kids.
I wouldn’t have wanted mine to learn about sex off of a filthy campervan.
yeah thats all good but she basically said – we will find a way to get rid of them. there will be a law we can use.
what an authoritarian bitch.
it was a direct assault on property rights. maybe shes on chompers side with the land thing? or do property rights not matter if the mighty paula doesnt like it?
there are plenty of things Dime doesnt want to see and doesnt want his kids to see. but they get plastered all over the tv. eg gay parade bullshit or “jimmy has two mums” books at every library
Measles has arrived at Waikato Uni.
sure its not chlamydia?
Would that be recent? A friend of mine who is a lecturer up there just posted the news on her fb. Not easily confused I would think.
Nah that was there when Cindy was doing her stuff
No doubt it was there when I was too, measles is far more communicable.
We were thinking of naming our youngest Chlamydia.
It’s quite a catchy name don’t you think?
Suffice to say, we thought better of it and my daughter is very….very…. grateful.
In fact, she’s sitting next to me right now, nodding her lovely head in agreement.
Do you have anything you would like to share with the lovely people on YSB Rubella?
Go on darling…. give it a shot.
The Socialism Disease has already spread far and wide :-
Massey; Otago; Waikato et al
It would be better to work on a vaccine for Socialism and then for Globalisation Syndrome.
They put down whole herds for Mad Cow and Mycoplasma Bovis!
There is plenty of mad cow disease in NZ concentrated in Wellington – the Green Party has 100% infection rate

Terminally ill man finds threatening notes on car
https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/terminally-ill-man-finds-threatening-notes-on-car/
As if life isn’t difficult enough without arseholes having a go at you.
A few years ago I had just been released from Auckland Hospital following a pretty scary illness. My wife (God Bless Her) came and picked me up and drove me home. I had to pop by a Chemist to pick up painkillers so we drove into a Supermarket with a Pharmacy.
I was on crutches and in a heck of a lot of pain- We decided to park in one of the Parental parks as I was unable to move very far and didn’t have a Disability sticker. (We drove around for a while looking for an alternative but it just wasn’t happening)
Despite my car having two child seats and me being obviously visibly incapacitated I came back to a note on my windshield “Where is your kids you lazy fat c*nt”
And my car had been keyed. (Over $1000 of damage)
People are shit.
I hope the police find prints on the note.
If you are talking about mine Chuck- Police in New Zealand don’t investigate things that ‘Minor’ apparently!
(*Though they now seemingly have enough time to door knock and ask ‘Right Wing’ people what Political Party they support!)
Mike Hosking: Treasury proves that blind ideology is no recipe for success
https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/opinion/mike-hosking-treasury-proves-that-blind-ideology-is-no-recipe-for-success/
What is it with these women with ideology, positions of leadership and their pointy finger!
The more I read of the Karangahake Kiddie Klutcher the more I reckon that emasculation must be a requirement of those joining Labour. How can anyone maul a couple of girls & stick their hands down two blokes pants without hitting the deck.
If some half pissed wanker had grabbed my teenage meat & two veg they’d probably have been hospitalised.
Scum like that would choose their target even if drunk. He would have been 2 to 4 years older and I bet he would not pick anyone bigger and likely stronger.
Posted this on the wrong page an hour or so ago.
A young man is accused of sexually assaulting four people at a Labour Party summer camp. Sam Hurley reports from the trial.
The trial of a man facing multiple accusations of sexual assault at a Labour Party summer camp has begun.
The now 21-year-old is charged with five counts of indecent assault against four complainants, two men and two women.
The accused, who has name suppression until at least the end of the trial, allegedly grabbed and squeezed a man’s testicles, touched another man’s genitals, kissed a woman on her neck and face and groped a second woman’s breast and bottom.
The criminal charges followed a police investigation into the events of the Labour Party youth summer camp near Waihi on the Coromandel Peninsula in February 2018.
But there was also excessive drinking, he added.
“It seems [the accused] more so than most had a fair bit to drink.
“It’s fair to say that Mr [accused] became very drunk.”
Priest, however, said her client “is not a sexual offender”.
“This was not criminal behaviour.”
She said the first charge, an accusation of squeezing a man’s genitals, was the result of the complainant wanting to be “part of the drama” created by other accusations.
Priest, however, said her client “is not a sexual offender”.

Meanwhile.
Radio personality Jay-Jay Feeney has spoken after the taxi driver accused of indecently assaulting her was found not guilty.
Baljeet Singh, 29, was acquitted by a jury today after a week-long trial in the Auckland District Court, where he faced one charge of indecent assault.
Singh was charged after Feeney accused him of attacking her when she was a passenger in his taxi in the early hours of October 1, 2017.
Did anyone ask if there were complainants from other years who might like to come forward? That is why I do not like name suppression, does it sound like it was his first rodeo?
Peters is seeing his specialist within the next few days who will decide whether or not he has the all-clear to fly again.
“He’s hopeful by then [after the appointment] he would have received that clearance – he’s gagging to move outside of the bounds of [his home].”
Can we briBe the specialist to ban him from flying ever again?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12264185
Had to laugh at the spokesperson saying that Peters was gagging to get out of the house.
Peters and gagging would be wishful thinking.
So if Peters hasn’t spoken on his op what puppets have been poking the stick at Paula?
Is it weird to wonder why he has had the op now while in Government? Paula wouldn’t have had her surgery now if she wasn’t in opposition, or so I assume at any rate.
Same as those having babies, they didn’t expect to have to govern.
How can a Defence Lawyer call it a Political Storm when Labour went out of there to cover it up and if it is a sibling of someone in the Labour Party it makes it even more of a disgrace.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/content/tvnz/onenews/story/2019/09/02/labour-camp-storm.html
Labour have form on cover ups concerning MP’s or staff and you have to go back to Darren Hughes and the there is the staff member out of the Prime Minister’s office that has twelve staff that have laid complaints of sexual assault or sexual misconduct in which the Labour Party tried to sweep under the carpet until it was leaked to the media.
You could be on to something. Chompers flown to exile in North Korea, the Yank military police sorting out crime & we would probably qualify for the 21st century equivalent of the Marshall Plan.
Should return us to about the point where Grant & Cindy started their magic.
I was talking to The Donald about this recently over a round of golf. We agreed it would be much better to wait until the CoL completely trash the place so he can buy it really cheap.
Kea, you make sense, we are running out of choices.
The Queen won’t save us but she certainly wants us to save her.
We need help.
Good on the Principal for looking out for his students, the students understand the expectation he has of them. Why shouldn’t he use sniffer dogs looking for dope.

I’m definitely pro legalisation but I have no problem with a college insisting that it remains drug free.
Schools are for education……not for getting fried at.
When you point it out like that I guess they might as well get baked.
They won’t miss much that’s important.
Fried isn’t a word that I associate with dope but with meth, does the word cross boundaries?
My creaking memory recall is that of “fried” & “baked being part of the Californian hippy vernacular of the 60s Rachael.
But I confess that use of the dreaded weed has conferred on me the ability to see ten minutes into the past! 🙂
Blazed for dope,fried and baked (shit-faced)for most others.
No matter the term, the ideology will, from now on, be half baked.
Guaranteed!!
Blazed lol whatever happened to stoned? What was wrong with that?
If they’re really stoned they look like they’ve been looking into the sun too long without suitable eye protection.(Arc eyes)
Hence ” blazed”.
What I do know is that I’m far better off since I’ve been “blazed, baked, fried, drugged, doped, high, hopped-up, potted, spaced-out, turned-on, wiped-out, zonked”.
This contrasts with before I got on the wagon when I was “on the piss, besotted, crapulent, crapulous, drunk, drunken, inebriate, inebriated, intoxicated, sodden, tipsy, cockeyed, stewed, blind, bombed, boozed, boozy, crocked, loaded, looped, pickled, pixilated, plastered, potted, sloshed, smashed, soused, stinking, tight, zonked, drunk as a skunk, half-seas over, high as a kite, in one’s cups, three sheets in (or to) the wind.” 🙂
Yes, the wagon circled my old drinking hole regularly. One night I thought it was a taxi.
Never looked back.
Well done Nass. Great decision.
If bullshit was rubber you’d bounce off the moon. 🙂
But it reminds me of the the nadir of hope I plumbed when I took the doctor’s advice & hauled arse to the nearest meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. Belief in a higher being wasn’t in my dna.
Besotted? lol Sounds like a happy drunk, for a while anyway
I think that recording trial evidence to be replayed during a retrial is a good idea, good for catching out liars too not just to not re-traumatise the victims. Sexual history being off-limits will certainly shorten trial length.

TERMS OF TRADE STABLE
In the year to June, the New Zealand terms of trade were unchanged from a year ago, so essentially our exports didn’t buy any more imports compared with a year ago. That was despite export volumes rising +3.5% and import volumes falling -3.5% in the year.
1: Buy yourself a party or politician
We all know New Zealand is one of the least corrupt nations around. After all, Transparency International keeps on telling us this, and we keep on proudly touting it.
But let’s say there’s someone out there who didn’t get the memo and decides to try and buy themselves a NZ politician or party. What, apart from our political actors’ sense of ethics, stands in their way?
Following some damn fine newspapering by Matt Nippert, a $150,000 donation given in 2017 to National from the Chinese billionaire owned “Inner Mongolia Rider Horse Industry (NZ) Ltd” is back in the news. While not necessarily raising any questions of illegality or impropriety, the sheer amount involved and the fact that it came from an entity controlled by an overseas national has focused attention on how our law controls (and doesn’t control) the use of money in our electoral system.

Paula Bennett says Simon is away on a trip to India and then China. Trying to drum up more donations?
This is the text of part of a comment made by Nostradamus (a lawyer) on KB GD:
Complainant 1:
[Defence lawyer Emma Priest] said the first charge, an accusation of squeezing a man’s genitals, was the result of the complainant wanting to be “part of the drama” created by other accusations.
Complainant 2:
The allegations relating to the second complainant, Priest said, simply didn’t happen.
She said her client “did something completely different which was meant as a joke”.
Complainant 3:
Priest said the accused had a complete defence to the fourth charge, an allegation of unwanted kissing. “She wanted it,” Priest said. “There is no indecent assault here.”
Complainant 4:
Priest said her client doesn’t recall any such incident but “is adamant he did not sexually assault her”.
So, in summary, the defence is: a me-too complainant (complainant 1); didn’t happen (complainants 2 and 4); and consent (complainant 3).
Might pay to keep a copy of this because after five days of bullshit defence & petty argument we (like the jury) could be excused for forgetting what year it is!
Odd that he has clarity of what and did not occur when on the other hand he claims he was too drunk to remember anything.
Don’t be surprised, it’s the Liarbours we are talking about here.
He’s like a trained seal. If only he could clap!
I read the article… and seem to have missed the bull-dyke and lesbian references… perhaps you could point me to the
indicator words that reveal the sexual orientation of the thieving bullies.
P.S. I meant the above post tobe attached to Kea’s post on the Dunedin Women’s refuge.
Fair question Kea. Nobody likes being pigeonholed especially if it is falsely labelled.
Don’t you mean Keaholed?
It was only a matter of time.
Conversation has devolved to the sordid & grubby mating habits of Keas! 🙂
I was just wanting to know if you had some specifics on the Dunedin scene?
I will concede that wherever there is funding it attracts those without scruples who can milk that funding for all it is worth. Stay vigilant, they are everywhere.
Please, go easy on our Maggy, will you.
She has enough trouble with that dirty little pervert over the road!
Thank you!
I am reconsidering having Dr Kea on my advisory board at Wiggles’ Retreat.
I think I’ll have a sulk for a few minutes (and a cup of tea) and then make a decision.
Set your cat on the wayward bird Maggy. Tell your kitty cat to be wary the stroppy bird doesn’t have his eye out though.
Well, in that case, I’ll promote you to Director- Abuse Practitioner Therapist, at Wiggles’ Exclusive Retreat.
Mr Nasca can organise some Plant therapies from my Garden (and the Lads down the road)
Whatever will Labour do to fix this inexcusable treatment of the vulnerable and dispossessed?

I watched the TV1 news to night to see if they cover Labours sex pervert!
Havin’t seen the news for yonks.
They had the mad queen on another piece, christ shes not looking good is she!
If she looks that bad with makeup on, just think what Jehtro wakes up to in the morning!
Thank you mate for taking one for NZ!
Yep, she’s here for a short time, thank fuck!
Thanks Sooty. For having the intestinal fortitude to watch that for us and reporting it here.
What was her attire though, Hijab, lei, grimace costume?
An ugly troll that lives under a bridge.
Bloody hell
Mel.
Don’t you find it interesting that the HRC and the EU flag have the same blue background, and the same yellow for their symbols?
And, that they both follow very similar guidelines. “Whitey not righty”
Almost as if they have the same……nah, can’t be.
Nice.
Sorry Mel. Human Rights Campaign Logo. The equal sign is yellow
Interesting that HRC Hillary Rodham Clinton manipulated them for her own personal gain.
She is one sick puppy.
The real nuclear moment of our time.
