Morning all. Just remember you sensible, coherent righties, the COL is not our circus and not our monkeys. 🤡 🐒🐒🐒
We are living in Clown World so who needs a circus?
Corbyn promises free ultra-fast broadband for all of Britain
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/11/corbyn-promises-free-ultra-fast-broadband-for-all-of-britain.html
“Britain’s opposition Labour Party on Friday confirmed its plans to nationalise BT’s broadband network to provide free internet for all, a radical election pledge to roll back 35 years of private ownership that caught both the company and its shareholders by surprise.”
That seems to be the socialist way.
Free broadband, free tampons.
Look what happened to Venezuela one of the worlds richest countries and now they cant even afford toilet paper.
Gun City owner David Tipple warns MPs of ‘vigilantism’ caused by gun law changes
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/gun-city-owner-david-tipple-warns-mps-vigilantism-caused-law-changes?auto=6103949358001
Mr Tipple said he thought the Government had created “a whole lot more people who have less confidence in them”.
“By reducing trust in Government, we are dividing the nation and we are driving them away from the unity we need here.”
David Tipple is right about dividing the nation and falling, like a stone, confidence in the police especially the senior muppets in charge, the judiciary and the government in general, but I see no evidence of a rise in vigilante justice. Perhaps that is because I live a sheltered life.
What is vigilantism? People taking matters into their own hands rather than ringing the police? I can.
That would be right wing activst rather than left wing protester!
Come on Nash.
Just get all of the gangs guns, or as many as you can, and leave the rest of us alone.
I am not a gun owner, most legal gun owners are just hunters or farmers or gun club members who shoot for a hobby.
This is part of the New Zealand way of life.
Raid the gangs and get their guns, as they are hardly going to hand them in voluntarily.
I am sick of this attack on our way of life by a crazy government due to one lone attack by an Australian gunman.
I think they forgot the pizza, with coffee & doughnuts for ‘afters’. 🙁
Must get Ardern’s adhan call too, to give gravitas to the meeting up.
Whoops wrong country,
A powhiri and haka may help?
What did the police do for the gangs to have a meeting?
I bet it was just not an invite down to the local cop shop!
Nash is a vain dont -you -know- who- I- am dickhead. Outdone only by Curren, watching himself during question time on the monitor when the camera is focused on someone nearby standing in reply. I seen ya Nash, eyes flicking around like a bugged eyed loon.
A cussie of shifty Schift in the states? Now thats a swivel eyed loon
God help them.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/403363/four-year-closure-of-mt-eden-train-station-during-city-rail-link-build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAshrlLqv60
Amazing CHINESE automatic rail bridge building machine. NEWEST BEST TECHNOLOGY.
The Chinese wouldn’t take four years to construct a piddling city rail link.
Amazing.
China doesn’t have the RMA. Here you’d have to have all the workers contained within hundreds of cones and flashing lights and signs.
Amazing, and they’d build railines all over NZ in a few months!
We really are a joke
It took nine months to build to piddly roundabouts on Cameron road, Tauranga and ruin the rest of the with a cycle lane that is a death trap and that no one uses.
How to win friends and inflence commutors!
What a lose, lose, lose situation.
Get people to use trains but close a station for four years!
The cure is worse than than the disease.
Why would you bus people to Newmarket when most will want to be going to the city.
For the western line Newmarket is a folly.
It is about 7-10 minutes walk from the Mt Eden station to the top of Queen Street.
Surely an extra bus service or 2 to the CBD would make sense.
Or, for 4 years build a temporary station 150 metres away using the Horse and Trap car park.
Then a one year ‘partial’ closure of Mt Eden Rd. that is an arterial route with high bus use.
There are smarter alternatives so with all the disruption mentioned in this article the honest conclusion is that this whole process- just like a tram down Dominion Rd- is meant to destroy movement of people, not enhance it.
UN2030.
The Left can’t think outside the box. They can’t make a decision let alone find a solution.
NZ is not this bad, but in the CoL socialist world, Sweden is held up as the star to follow.
… Last year, more than 300 shootings resulted in 45 deaths and 135 injuries in Sweden. …. [much more this year]
Malmö ……… Some 29 percent of the people living in the city reported to have been victims of crimes against an individual. ………
……. They invited a dozen gang leaders – nine turned up – along for a sit-down chat with police, relatives of crime victims and legal prosecutors.
And there was pizza.
Again, needless to say, no-one was arrested. [no arrests for the crimes at the link’s start]
Dubbed “Operation Snowflake” by one wag on social media, the Malmö Chief of Police Stefan Sentéus declared the “call-in” exercise a success to Expressen newspaper, claiming the message they were trying to convey to the violent criminals they invited had hit its target.
“It was really appreciated,” said the chief, who admitted there have been 28 further explosions in Malmö in 2019.
For the country that considers itself a humanitarian superpower, this latest descent into “Absurdistan” is the result of a nation that finds it hard to be frank about what is really going on, after Sweden’s immigration surge in 2015 which saw 163,000 asylum seekers arrive in the country of 10 million inhabitants.
…… unemployed young men under 30 years of age, with immigrant backgrounds, living in deprived neighbourhoods, who have failed to fully integrate into the Swedish way of life.
So rather than admit the
failure of its immigration and integration policies and the negative impact on their globally-celebrated humanitarian credentials, the Swedes try to spin it with yet another ill-conceived liberal approach of embracing criminals, in the hope that they’ll start feeling all warm and fuzzyand stop killing one another along with innocent bystanders.One of the experts taking part in the exercise told the gang leaders, as if they were unaware:
“You are the ones most at risk of being injured or killed.”
The reaction on social media suggests the soft-touch meeting did not go down well with those expecting protection from their police force, instead of platitudes.
“First they abuse and rob us, and then we taxpayers pay for their damn pizza!” was typical of the responses.
In a wonderfully practical approach, one other social media user suggested the police missed a golden opportunity to simply lock up the thugs while they had them all gathered in the same place.
That would have at least saved the cost of the pizza.
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/473446-sweden-police-gangs-pizza/
NZ socialists follow those ideas as we have already note in regard to guns & gangs.
It would seem that the ‘special task force’ favours pizza, and coffee and doughnut treats for later.
https://www.euronews.com/2019/11/12/swedish-police-to-create-special-unit-to-tackle-wave-of-violence-and-explosions
……”They invited a dozen gang leaders – nine turned up – along for a sit-down chat”…..
Wouldn’t work in NZ because the gang leaders the public see are NCOs at best. The real leaders hold university & professional qualifications. The police were slow off the mark & let addictive meth become widely used in NZ & the huge money attracted a new breed of criminal.
The smelly, half fried gang member with a sawn off shotty in the wardrobe is a pawn in the game.
Bill “Broken Windows” Bratton warned the government and police more than twenty years ago that the gang menace in this country was serious and that they had five years to get on top of problem. They did nothing and now, as you say, meth and the huge money the drug business attracts means the situation is out of control. All this is not helped by the fact that confidence in the police especially in the buffoons running the show, is plummeting. Alienating the most law abiding sector of society, licenced firearm owners, for mistakes the police themselves made is simply making matters even worse.
I agree with you, in part, the Chinese, now the South Americans, connecting to opportunistic “professionals”
Would the NZ policing on meths been so successful, that drove the price so high, that many other overseas gangs saw the opportunity of good returns.
The gangs can use colour, culture, ethnicity, that fuels a brigade of social justice warriors in academia, judiciary, media, education, health, etc.. so any “professional” can see how to use them as the cover and a few timely full well placed paper bags.
Pawns are useful, as cover, protection, bait & switch, and there is always another.
Illegal guns are remaining in the hands of organised crime as gang leaders refuse to give up their weapons.
Police have met with more than 50 gang leaders in an effort to get them to comply with firearm law changes before an amnesty ends.
But it’s proving to be fruitless, as the patched members remain “very reluctant”, Police Commissioner Mike Bush told the Justice Select Committee on Thursday.
“We have identified over 100 influential gang leaders and spoken to about half of them about how they are managing this and what their approach and attitude toward that [amnesty] is.”
After the committee meeting, Bush said communication lines with senior patched gang members had revealed they had a different approach to law abiding members of the public, in relation to the return of guns.
Police Commissioner Mike Bush and Deputy Commissioner Mike Clement told the Justice Select Committee 115 key gang members had been identified and police had met with 53, to talk about guns.
“They were very reluctant to be part of this.”
He did not think many patched gang members had handed in their guns.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/117242736/police-meet-with-gang-leaders-to-try-and-convince-them-to-surrender-guns-during-amnesty
Does not work here either, but some of the social justice warriors become knighted, like Sir Kim Workman.
“After the committee meeting, Bush said communication lines with senior patched gang members had revealed they had a different approach to law abiding members of the public, in relation to the return of guns.”
Who knew patched gang members don’t respect the law. WOW!! obviously not our police commissioner!! Is he really that STUPID! 🤡
Proscribe the gangs. Call a meeting of “senior patched gang members” arrest the lot of them and charge them with being members of a proscribed organization, 20 years in jail, no parole, in a special hard regime prison to be built for the purpose on Stewart Island. We could call the prison Guantanamo South.
Speaking of clowns:
Gang member with ‘Mighty Mongrel Mob’ tattooed across his face arrested
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/11/gang-member-with-mighty-mongrel-mob-tattooed-across-his-face-arrested.html
“Police have arrested a gang member in Waikato who is known for trying to evade officers.”
He doesn’t want to be noticed so he tattoos ‘Look At Me’ across his face. 😜
He should try Thin Lizzy?
A mongrel mobster wearing makeup. That may put him in more trouble with his bros than the cops. 😉
Seems like a good excuse to me.
What?
Sing ‘Whisky in a Jar’

‘The Boys are Back in Town’

Australian bushfires: Hundreds of endangered koalas dead
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/11/australian-bushfires-hundreds-of-endangered-koalas-dead.html
Poor little koala but at least he survived.
And they’ve found a fifteen year old boy who lit one of the fires that burned 15 houses to the ground.
What punishment would you give him?
Birching, Singapore style.
Most caning sentences are far below the legal limit of 24 strokes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_in_Singapore
That way for a month or so, he will feel the heat!
The ‘reminder’ may stay there for years.
So how many wacks?
There have been 10 arrests for arson offences so far.
Lethal injection.
Isn’t that great that he seems to know they are there to help.
The burnt koala is definitely cleverer than the 15 year old accused of lighting a bush fire!
Being on the ground safer than being high in a gum tree? Hobson’s choice, they do not seem adapted.
It is not as if they can outrun the fire, any fire.
The police found him (finally)
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/11/gang-member-with-mighty-mongrel-mob-tattooed-across-his-face-arrested.html
Two things
You really are a bit stupid to commit cries if you have such a unique tattoo that can never be hidden.
How can you go anywhere?
Second there should be an offense for doing such facial tattoos as it really sentences that person to a life of crime for the rest of their life, unless they become an air steward on air New Zealand or a Kindergarten teacher or a volunteer at your local op shop
I just read The Washington Post, so you don’t have to.
It was frightening to see the level of bias and misrepresentation. It removed any doubt that the alt left are terrorists and that the West is under direct attack.
Go see for yourselves.
Watching the Trump Impeachment hearings or the Dems witch hunt. The Republicans are fighting back with great speeches quoting the dems/Schiff’s claims back at them and they don’t have any facts to back up those “carefully orchestrated” claims.
AOC has recently voiced what this Impeachment is about. “It’s not about what has happened in the past but what might happen in the future if we don’t do this, Trump might win the 2020 election.”

Gaseous maltruthed dead bodies, entangled and covered over, as the “journalists” firemen first fired then hosed down the books in 1951 “Fahrenheit 451” Ray Bradbury
November 14, 2019…..
…. Not too long ago, ambitious journalists, local and national, prided themselves on gathering information, and their editors prided themselves on publishing it.
About 50 or so years ago, however, progressives started to seize control of universities, J-schools included, and newsrooms shifted leftwards with each new graduating class.
By 2016, even major newsrooms had become firehouses. Their goal was not to report information but to manage it. …..
…… “Clinton.” The network firemen had to erase the word lest their audience see it or hear it during an election year, and that they succeeded in doing until Robach unwittingly revealed it. Indeed, “unwitting” is about the only way truth sneaks out of a newsroom today. …..

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive!” (Sir Walter Scott, 1808).
And the hidden mines, so many of them now, that have created a minefield, carefully covered over by the deceivers, that producers of these networks
ABC, MSNBC, New York Times, CNN, CBS, FOX, can not keep track of.
With all their big name “firemen,” “journalists” it became so difficult to not step on a dead gaseous malformed body, and how they are all inter-tangled.
Almost time lapse the changes, but not due to climate change, just the changing tides.

I’ve started reading “The Departure” (2011) by Neil Asher. The writing is a bit stilted, but the first 10 pages of my first Polity novel is an eerily accurate feeling prediction of what life under a socialist world government would be like. Part of me just wants to put it down so I can ignore it, rather than further terrify myself.
The filth in this country are out of control and need to be stomped on – hard.
For years they have acted as a powerful tax payer funded lobby group continually demanding more power and control over their subjects (us). Their union also acts as an authoritarian lobby group , even after O’connor left to become a Labour politician.
They are highly political and are nothing more than Arderns goon squad. She has set up a roving police hit squad that even many on the left are decrying.
They are deeply corrupt and have conspired with politicians to hide serious crimes committed by the party faithful.
The pigs are way more of a threat to us than gangs and criminals.

Close bond between mother and daughter helps catch online predator

That predator’s previous was pretty dammed serious!
In 2013, when he was just 16, he was sentenced to four years in jail for a violent sexual assault, his first offence.
And it seems nothing has changed.
So what will the judge say in the 2020 February sentencing?
[2013] A psychiatrist reported …..
On one hand he was a “very introverted, quiet and polite young man who was described by others as kind, helpful, passive and caring”, yet other sources found him a “disregulated, impulsive and aggressive young man” with limited or no empathy.
The judge said courts had recognised that young people had lapses of judgment, but he labelled Jones’ offending as being “deliberate, violent and disgusting”.
He took into account reports outlining difficulties faced by Jones, his youth, and his guilty plea, then sentenced him to four years and one month imprisonment.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8942216/Teen-handed-in-to-police-by-parents
So did he just miss out on getting a First Strike?

https://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/117461627/police-fear-someone-could-be-killed-while-gang-member-remains-on-the-loose
If this person were a member of a white gang the pigs would use it as an excuse to raid the homes of countless innocent people on the pretext of a manhunt – with the dirty media running their cover story.
The media are getting all jizzied up over this dodgy bugger Behrouz Boochani
For a start he associates with Golriz Ghahraman.
No surprises for a criminal.
The media prints this crap:-
…He then paid a people-smuggler $5000 to take him to Australia. His boat was one of two found by authorities after being lost at sea for a week. Boochani was arrested and taken to the Manus Island Processing Centre….
So he was in Indonesia -the most populous Moozlem country in the world- but he wanted to leave and enter Australia illegally.
Does anyone NOT see a problem with this?
He wanted to pay criminals to get him illegally into another country where he was not welcome – and queue jump- by criminal means.
He is still associating with criminals
…Boochani is able to travel to New Zealand because of help from UN refugee agency UNHCR, which organised his departure and helped him get a visa, sponsored by Amnesty International….
What a piece of lying shit and all those that associate with this criminal.
Advance Australia Fair:-
..We’ll toil with hearts and hands
To make this Commonwealth of ours
renowned of all the lands
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share…
…but being a criminal no longer qualifies you.
And now more difficult in costly legalese to kick him out, if he wants to stay on.
Not far off the point where one will not even be allowed to discuss, debate about such things as per Peter’s, Ardern & Shaw signed NZ up to the “do gooders” UN Migration Pact.
Thanks Winston
All these people smugglers need to be locked up forever in a container as a warning to others.
The illegal immigrant themselves need to be towed back or dropped off the back of a Hercules over the nearest pieces of middle east desert

Breastfeeding woman outraged that ((insert offence of your choice))
Speaking of swimming pools, WTF is the matter with society. Wellington woman was outraged that she was asked to stop polluting the swimming pool by dripping biohazard tit milk and baby puke into water used by other human beings.
What is it with fucking breastfeeding mothers and their staggering sense of entitlement – I mean just about any woman with a vagina can have a baby, it’s not a special achievement, you aren’t doing anything selfless or heroic (quite the opposite if you contemplate the carbon footprint of having a baby) why do these vapid bitches think they should be excused all reasonable behaviour?
I’m sure we’re only weeks away from this headline in Stuff

Massey University making stupid decisions again !!
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/117473020/massey-university-temporarily-closes-nzs-only-veterinary-technology-degree
I would have thought this was a really, useful, practical degree and fitting into the core part of what the University WAS set up for. Massey does not look anything like it was when I studied there many moons ago.
The University Council needs a total clean out.
People acting collectively, as individuals, can be a good thing.
But group think, where people submit themselves to group acceptance, is always bad. It is the source of the madness we see around us and all wars.
It is far worse among generation social media and their constant craving for “likes”
I’ve told this story before but years ago when I worked at Massey I had an order from the VC to put a gas gun by the Vet pond to scare the ducks off at the start of duck shooting season.
Fingers were pointed when the gun went off and I had to bat off questioning because no one disobeyed the VC in those days.
He drove around campus every week to check what was going on.
Now we have PC Thomas and the lefties in charge.
All you woke man hating imbeciles uncritically sucking up the prosecution’s claims in the Millane witch hunt – will be wrapped to know that a Bill was just past meaning lying rape accusers cant be questioned about their slutty behavior and lies, unless the judge says so.
But the accused’s history can be used against them.
Another leap forward in dispensing with innocent until proven guilty – just as long as the accuser is a woman and the accused a man.
Most rape cases before the court are false and should never have seen a courtroom. This new law is an attempt to get more innocent men convicted.
You say
…will be wrapped to know that a Bill was just past meaning lying rape…
Try
..will be rapt to know that a Bill was just passed meaning lying rape…
You spoke of raptures the other day.
Same word source.
Other than that comments in the right direction and another area we are following Britain down the rabbit hole.
The Brits have been hard at this nearly a decade now.
Angry Little Andrew is trying to rewrite the whole meaning and direction of Law.
He is a nasty despicable critter. A pure scumbag that wants criminals out of prison and replaced by decent middle class taxpayers.
He has the same warped outlook as Mao Zedong.
The voters have always seen through him in New Plymouth and as former Liebour leader.
Like his mate the fat fairy they do their evil redirection in dark rooms.
Oops thanks 😆
I always warned Labour would pass legislation targeting men, even as they apply radically different thinking to the party faithful.
Fact is most real rape victims don’t blab. I know plenty and none when to the cops. But convicting the innocent won’t remedy that. Nor will dispensing with proper legal process.
Our legal system and method is okay-ish if used correctly.
The “Great Replacement” is a conspiracy theory, no wonder Cindy bin Lying didn’t want us white supremacist proles to read Tarrant’s manifesto of the same name. I suppose we should be grateful to her for protecting us from ourselves. Latest video from American Renaissance, well worth watching.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKBRHE-pkM8
The manifesto was very mild reading and solidly based on statistics and fact.
No mention of killing anyone. No white supremacy.
He did not even hate Muslims. He targeted them for other reasons.
And so the politicians rule us, and sell out their original voters, as they seek power, control and riches, believing they have the rights from “constructed consent”, for your own good, or demise.
The try and fill us with fears,
but not named, like Voldemart, and/or islamophobia.
“islamophobia”
And anti Semitism.
If our vote made a difference they wouldn’t let us do it.
Just reading the latest on the theatre or should that be charade called the Impeachment Inquiry in the USA. What a circus . Schiff makes Twyford look like the brain of Britain.
My prediction based what has happened so far : Pelosi will pull the pin and it will not get to the Senate. They will just move onto plan 36 to get rid of the President.
BTW: I think the Roger Stone conviction will end up blowing back on the Deep State in a big way, over time.

Dropping her phone in the bog makes for a great analogy.
Well I think there is a profound truth in that opinion piece that many would do well to contemplate.
We have lost our way. As our society has “succeeded” we have been confronted with an epidemic of depression.
The over prescribed medications for depression only serve to mask.
Why are we lost?
What is causing the extreme anxiety levels that require medicating?
My belief is, that the world isn’t moving at a faster pace, It’s the ability to adapt that is slowing down or being lost.
People are not left behind, they are left in limbo.
The answer used to be on the tip of everybody’s tongue.
Work hard, endure setbacks and learn from your mistakes.
Surviving no longer takes effort.
There is no need to work.
This, in part, is due to limited education and the unchecked raging socialist gospel infiltrating all walks of life.
Interesting points Bn, and a way to add over-stress to life,
The subtle changing and social engineering.
Art was the thin edge of the wedge, to open up and work society.
Art can not be measured, or is very difficult to, and then it is close to fashion changes..
After ww2 Joseph Beuys is considered one of the most important “cultural” artists
“Every man is an artist; on his way to a free formation of the social organism.”
“Expanded Idea of Art” and a so-called that the goal of an artist
should not be the production of traditional works of art, but the formation of the one and only important work, that is, society.
It doesn’t require traditional qualifications for craftsmanship,
as everybody who in any way influences the form of social life
or at least everybody could be — an artist.
This continues on into social creating social projects.
That leads onto rituals a form of worship, as after all some gain an income in this.
So there is no real knowledge, so the meritocracy system is pushed out, and easy for the elite to surf that wave. and work it to effect into sociological systems. They certainly do not know what they are doing, the effects, or consequences.
So now one can see why measures are considered superfluous. …..
….. This ends up so anything society actually needs, is totally stuffed up, but under a control.
…..This leads onto attacking the work ethic.
A part of destroying the “work ethic”. ….
A Polish commentator looking at “Semantic Marxism”
Sorry must go, some of this is quotes, and some my summary.
Will provide links later, and if you wish some more abbreviation of this thinking and where it leads…
A very good summary S1
I was listening to a chap recently espousing a study done by 2 scientists on 1600 individuals from birth. (Ted Talk.)
They determined 98% of the subjects from birth exhibited a creative level intellect of a genius.
By age 10 we reduce that to 30% of the population.
By age 15 down to 13% of the population.
From the ages 20 -30 it is reduced to only 2% of the population.
The revelation was, the cause was not aging but that it was educated out of us. Turned off.
We as adults live in a convergent thinking world. Deduction, logic, reason, yes , no etc.
For the first seven years of our lives we live in a divergent thinking world. Where make believe is real and hypnotic states are common.
That is when society forces the child to conform and closes that part of the brain.
In essence the manifesting of endless possibilities is shutdown.
I agree
A video to enjoy. Dr Jennifer Morahasy “fact checking” the bleaching and damage to the Barrier Reef. Yes the claims are all BS.
She says she is doing this to help Dr Peter Ridd in his battle. But also she may have picked up on the success of Tony Heller’s videos. I hope many more latch onto the idea of using videos instead of writing papers or critiques of papers etc. to fight the battle against the AGW BS.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/11/prince-andrew-admits-he-let-the-side-down-in-new-jeffrey-epstein-interview.html
“I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever,” Andrew said.”
So he was full of coke and molly when he met her.
Oh well, that excuses everything.
ACT wants to cut funding to universities that block free speech
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/11/act-wants-to-cut-funding-to-universities-that-block-free-speech.html
“Instead, he’s drafting a new one which would force tertiary institutions to “take all reasonable steps to protect academic freedom and free speech” or face funding cuts, following a number of events being shut down over claims of health and safety fears.
Our current laws are not bad – I think they could be improved, and that’s what my previous Bill would have done. The most pressing threat is that some people are genuinely concerned about their health and safety obligations as a person conducting a business undertaking, and they are not sure if they can let people speak on their premises. Others are abusing it.”
Never thought I’d say it but I’m likely voting ACT. Or maybe that new green party.
I’m a liberal green and always have been.
Good idea. It’d need to be carefully worded to avoid too much subjectivity, but I like the principle.
Hit the leftie, socialist authoritarians where it hurts. In the money provided by us rich, capitalist pricks.

‘There must be limits’ to what people can post on social media: Former NZ PM
While Clark says she is aware of the dangers of “heavy-handed regulation,” she is critical of what she calls the current “libertarian” approach to regulation: “There has to be limits, and so you have to look at how those limits will be defined, and then how will those limits be upheld,” she explained.

I wonder why she would say that. Take this blog and kiwiblog as an example. I set up YSB,because I was pissed off with the moderation of comments on Kiwiblog. Here at YSB, It is not moderated in any way,. I occasionally look at comments in the back end on the comments page. I have only had cause to delete comments because they didn’t conform to my ideals. Other than that, it’s been self moderating.
If you treat people with respect, not be heavy handed in moderating them, then they will respond likewise. This is a foreign concept to the left. Their default position is one of distrust for which they get ridiculed accordingly
Thanks Ed.
✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Ed has eliminated some of my wisdom nuggets but is largely doing it right.
Less regulation really does invoke better behavior.
You must have ruffled his feathers, or perhaps he was just thinking of the rest of us canaries.
I had a pig once that never shat where it slept. Clever piggy. Alpacas shit in a circle at the end of a paddock.Clever Alpacas.
So called homeless humans in cities shit in the doorways where they sleep. Dumb stupid humans.
You have the gift today Ed 🤣
Little Jack Horner shat in the corner, didn’t he?
Especially if it differs from her world view
If she had her way none of us would get an opinion or a vote.
I would say I post per day from Stephieboy on KB
Thats a good limit

Preserve our wildlife.
Pickle a Kea today!
In what?
Pluck it first or the feathers get stuck in your teeth. 😜
Too much information? They should pluck themselves!!!
😂
Kea are a taonga arsehole. It’s not their fault your sheep have so much back fat.
Is there another sort of arsehole?
I believe the taonga arsehole is suppository averse.
US man pretended to be disabled so care workers would change his nappy and care for him like a baby

Some men just refuse to grow up 😳
While all women never do.
You’re so big and strong Mr Kea!
Thanks for noticing- while saturated with woke beta pseudo men.
Speaking of which, has Tall Man [chuckle] been allowed internet access?
Your handbag must have done some serious damage. Bad Kea.
My man is FAR from being a beta male. Probably why I find you mildly entertaining.
Tall Man went all hall monitor with your posts Kea. 😲
No they tend to grow outwards
If you fail to provide them with sufficient work & don’t throw the chocolate biscuits in the bin they tend to run to fat.
What are the 3 rings of marriage?
The engagement ring, the marriage ring, and the suffering.
Four rings and it’s the cops. Don’t pick up!!
Of course all husbands, even the old ones, are such gorgeous specimens. 😱
Called junk for a reason?
Hanging junk! 😉
Puppetry of the Penis? I always meant to go to a show.
Such objectification.
Oh, WG – I didn’t think you cared. 😉
Not quite how I would put it lol
National’s Roads of National Significance
(That’s not really a good name for them)
I have only been there twice but there was a fatal crash on the Napier Express, is this the same bit of road that was down as the next tranche of roads of National Significance?
Ie the ones that Genter and Twyford cancelled in favour of some cans of paint.
No, its a nice 4 lane road for most of the way although like all express ways , goes back to a 2 lane road too soon.
Do we need a fat tax?
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/403431/govt-s-obesity-plan-fails-to-include-sugar-tax
Only if it applies to fat people!
Or just give them a higher PAYE rate.
There are so many lard arses and guys with huge tummies waddling around these days.
You’d think they’d have some p ride.
Or the inability to breed.
Man who misled Immigration NZ to get residency deported
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/man-misled-immigration-nz-get-residency-deported
“Adam Gan Bin Abdullah returned to New Zealand eight months after being deported in 2012 and was granted residence with his wife.
He was deported to Malaysia with a five-year exclusion on returning, but changed his name and came back the following year.”
Don’t they have buidling sites in Malaysia?
Glad too see immigration NZ is on to it. even if it takes 5 years!

I saw one farmer’s placard that was along the lines of “let them eat wood.’
Beats “let them eat cake”
Which Marie Antoinette was not the first to say, that is if she said it at all.
The farmer hating movement is the most extreme and dangerous of the alt left groups.
They want food banned.
Lab food is for Labradors. End of.
Let’s all hope for all the worst things for a perfect storm leading to a change of govt.

“While Ardern may see merits in legalisation for health reasons, she is very far from being some sort of pro-drug flag-waving leftie. Essentially the Prime Minister wants to be a citizen like everyone else in this issue, in all the difficulties it poses. The problem is that in the heat of a campaign, that could be politically difficult.”
Called sitting on the fence.
“she is very far from being a pro-drug flag waving leftie”
Ahem……Ms Ardern.
Rapid weight loss and a gaunt appearance….oh yeah, Jenny Craig. Shhhhh!
I wonder what NZ’s favourite munchie food is?
Snickers pods I think. Stuff poll says chocolate fish.

Good coffee is essential. Can you imagine when the coffee ran out. All those Swiss coffee addicts going through withdrawal at the same time. Headache and bad mood central! 😩

I had some man trying to talk intellectually with me many many years ago now. He stated to me that whoever Reuters was they were a very busy person with all of the articles that they wrote. 😉
Boy was he embarrassed when I explained, Possibly the last time he spoke to me, not that I cared.
Yes, good one. . Royters or Rooters?
Breitbart is not a clever Bart Simpson. 🙈🙉🙊
“I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.”

I suppose we’ll have to wait until next year when Simon Bridges says that he will announce National’s coalition partner strategy well before the election.
He did say there may be a new party. (may be its Vernod Tava’s party or the New Conservatives?)
Watching the Wire on Netflix Fuck that when they concentrate the druggies and dealers together with no law and order.
Oops Neon
Just finished watching “100 Yen Love”. There are some spectacular Asian films and this is another good one. Worth a watch if you come across it.
