National to launch campaign over second Mt Vic Tunnel for Wellington. Chris Bishop an Wellington list MP Nicola Willis will team up to committee to a second Tunnel if National are elected at the next Election. The Tunnel issue has been kept alive by the Julie Anne Genter secret letter hoo hand subsequently the ousting of the one term Labour Mayor Justin Lester.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/article.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=12292291
The Labour Party could get hurt in Wellington as shown with the arrogance of Lester and others over this blatant lies of Twyford and Genter.
I haven’t heard but I hope there was no Muslims in the death toll at White Island as the PM seems to take fatalities as a chance to play dress up games with the public and use it as a means for votes.
I think I just heard Ardern say that there may have been one person from Malaysia.
So she may need her hijab.
More Australians by the sounds of it, so I don’t know what sort of cultural appropriation she’ll adopt in that case. Maybe a hat with corks.
More like jandals and a VB !
Will they hold her beer?
Along with a hat over the tent with corks hanging from strings!
She’s an ambulance chaser, and she and her team will once again be evaluating how to gain maximum traction from this tragedy.
Isn’t it sad to think that of our own.
It is, but she’s given us cause.
They’ll also be worried now that this news is going to overshadow Robertson’s Xmas infrastructure announcement tomorrow, which was supposed to leave us with warm fuzzies over the break.
Yep, she’s done it in the past and will do it again in the future!
Will she out do that Phool Goof in the shiney shoes scooping oil from the Rena!
Yes, but they did not get hurt at the local body elections, Lester only just lost
I was expecting labour and the Greens to be wiped out.
Too many woke government servants there I suppose.
As soon as Lester lost he was identified as an independent by Ardern who prefers not to be associated with people who lose.
So Lester will not be on any BBQ or Labour party invites!
Justin no mates!
It seems the recent DHB appointments were a joke also – more coming on newstalk ZB with Michael Woodhouse.
Rick Barker apparently says is going to do the West Coast Chair job over the phone from Hastings.
RB..trougher extraordinaire.
Man, he must be good!
It’s amazing what a good Labour man can achieve!
Just as well they never put him looking into PMs own office rapist! Might have fixed it already!
Not likely Sooty but as a sycophant extraordinaire he would have got Ardern the result she wanted.
Which is sweep it under someone elses carpet!
I see what you did there…..
Cactus Kate writes an interesting piece on the *cough chortle* Attorney General David Parker and his ‘community lens’.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AsianInvasion2019/~3/Snps9HfV1Uc/david-parker-and-his-community-lens.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
She’s good. Certainly can poke the borax at Cindy bin Lying and her minaginary of blood sucking friends!
The former mayor who used to run tours and dive trips on White island speaks out about his greatest fear – that Wellington will come and take over.
Just like Pike
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/118068556/local-man-dead-after-white-island-eruption
Geonet shut down the cameras with the absurd excuse that it’s because of a search and rescue operation underway. They don’t say how cameras hamper a search and rescue ???.
Two lies:
1. The police stopped any search and rescue.
2. The police wanted the cameras shut down in case someone saw survivors stumbling around, who then died.
Just as the police hid footage from inside Pike.
I think the folks who were close to the eruption would have been overcome with heat and fumes fairly quickly.
Those that were further away near shore have pretty serious/fatal burns.
Yes Maggy.
Now why did they shut down the cameras?
That would be the inconvenient truth, now wouldn’t it.
I could be so crude as to detail the nature of what steam, acidic gases and hot ash do to your skin/flesh /lungs, but I figure you already know that.
Some things no one needs to see.
Agreed Maggy. But the cameras were on during the eruption. It was all done when they shut them off.
So again… why did they shut them down.
There’s no chance that Wellington will interfere in any negative way in case the White Island happenings have an effect on the Labour voting special people. From Google (the website it links to is down because of the tragedy):
About – White Island Tours Limited
https://www.whiteisland.co.nz › about
… Ngāti Awa commenced with the 2017 purchase of White Island Tours by Ngāti Awa Group Holdings Limited, the commercial arm of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa, …
Funny how Ngati Awa did not change the name of White Island.
yet Ardern and TVNZ are trying to change it!
How about Black Island?
Because it is still privately owned.
Or did Ardern order rescue to stop until she arrived with her production crew to film her greeting survivors arriving for PR?
Kea, I get that you don’t have much respect for Police, but a little decorum wouldn’t go amiss today.
By decorum you mean don’t question authority?
And I respect good cops. I’m Anti the police not anti policemen.
No, by decorum I mean dial back on the wild and unsubstantiated accusations until the smoke has cleared, nothing at all to do with questioning authority.
Do you have any evidence to justify claiming that Police stood back waiting for Ardern to arrive with her production crew to film her greeting survivors arriving for PR? Didn’t think so.
You may have respect for ‘good cops’ but mindless screeching shows none at all for innocent victims of this tragedy.
I like this. There isn’t a hint of “ban the bird for being a dickhead”. You addressed it, exercising your right to express yourself even though you have a different view to Kea. And that, to the woke left and socialists, is how it is done.
Harvey I asked it as a question. Not a claim or statement. So you dial it back and moderate yourself.
Let’s look at some facts, Harvey.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/393075/pike-river-mine-black-box-data-of-no-use-police
..Families of the Pike River miners are accusing police of hiding the existence of the Scada data between the first and second explosion at Pike River Mine in 2010.
Families have only recently found out the black box data continued to record data after the first explosion.
They said police had denied for months the existence of the Scada data that could show what happened between the first and second explosion that killed 29 men….
also
…Two miners walked out after the first blast, but there was a second explosion five days later. Dunbar and Monk believe the data could hold crucial information about the cause of the second explosion, which effectively ended all rescue hopes….
and
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/06/police-admit-not-looking-at-pike-river-black-box-after-first-explosion.html
…”The best analogy you could make of SCADA is it is exactly the same as a black box in an aircraft,” electrical expert Richard Healey says.
SCADA monitors all the cameras, the communications, the pumping stations, the gas and fluid levels and the electrics. It holds all the clues to what causes mine explosions.
But police have admitted to Newshub that they’ve only looked at it up to the first explosion.
… “Emails day after day after day, deny deny deny, it’s a classic defence,” he says.
Initially, Read denied having any SCADA beyond the first blast, but after the Pike River Recovery Agency said police had SCADA up to the second explosion and considerably more, Read confirmed they actually have data from before the first blast until after the second.
He said the server it was saved onto was obsolete, so they had problems accessing it…..
Blah blah blah.
The culture of that swamp in Wellington is to deny and lie.
The cops lied.
They lied about Peter Ellis; Arthur Allan Thomas; Christopher John Lewis; Teina Pora.
You lie once to the cops and they will crush your balls.
They can lie repeatedly with no repercussions.
The chances of the cops lying and do a cover up is about 95%.
They can’t even keep hold of guns they take off legal registered owners who kept them safe under lock and key under threat of fines and losing their gun licence
..but in Palmy Nth they lost them in days – they are that incompetent.
The Napier Siege was a massive cock up by the police with fatal repercussions.
They were not much wiser 6 years later in Kawerau.
The Erebus search and rescue was under a specialist Ron Chippendale, Chief Inspector of Air Accidents. The police were under him. They should be subordinate to a specialist.
Some (many) things the police are not competent to handle.
They are attempting to disarm the population while arming themselves; having roving armed bully boy squads; and getting massively armoured vehicles which has completely thrown out the balance with the generally law-abiding community.
The balance has been lost since the beginning of this year.
Very quick. Fast and brutal would be another description.
They are making it clear they will shoot on sight, no questions asked.
Stasi elements are being put in place. Not surprising under Ardern, Robertson, and Little.
The dynamic of unarmed police and a polite, moderately armed population has been scrapped under Mike Bush, the convicted drunk.
The criminals get mostly free pass.
Protesters can occupy land and harass people trying to go to work but they are untouched.
Imagine the likes of the Dunedin scum cop Jeremy Buis who bullied and terrorised a citizen while his fellow dodgies would not step in to fix it.
This will only get worse.
… A police constable has resigned after being found guilty of a two-year-long harassment campaign.
Jeremy Buis, 39, had been suspended from active duty since 2015 after he was charged with criminal harassment, threatening to do grievous bodily harm and intentional damage.
He was found guilty in a judge alone trial in April, and lost suppression of his occupation in July…
This was a complete scum bag who was paid for near three years while suspended and the cops tried to redirect by implying he was not a sworn officer.
The police LIED to cover up for their scum colleague who should have been thrashed with a rattan 100 times in the Octagon.
Be afraid.
This is your enemy.
The new Stasi.
Do you think the general populace in Germany thought things would get so ugly when they looked at the world in 1937.
Wake up Harvey.
You cannot defend the indefensible.
We are at crossroads with the police changing the imbalance in their favour very rapidly- it would appear a quid pro quo for not investigating the many dodgy events of the COL- Sexual assault; election activity; criminal associations etc.
In the next six months look out for more restrictions including internet access and free speech.
Well that’s off your chest.
Feel better now?
Not really
Policing is heading in an adverse direction following the blueprint from Britain.
Apologies for length but this is a must read. Any other country in the world, this cretin would be permanantly locked up.
“Donavan Scanlan’s conviction list takes up a third of the police file in court for him.
He ‘s only appearing for two charges but they happen to be his 548th and 549th convictions.
Scanlan’s in an elite group of offenders that includes New Zealand’s most prolific fraudster Les Orchard, with more than 1000 convictions, or burglar Allan Adams who has over 400 convictions.
But unlike them he does not specialise other than, as one judge called it, “relatively low level stupid offending.”
And he is most often drunk when he does it.
At 49 – he’s due to turn 50 on Christmas Eve – he’s been offending all of his adult life, at least one a month.
Wellington District Court judge Jan Kelly sat and counted out all 52 pages of his conviction list to get the total. She says it’s mostly violence and disorderly offences.
Scanlan’s a short man, dressed all in black, head shaved with a ponytail at the back. He appears relaxed in the dock. After all, he’s been here before.
Earlier this year he appeared in the High Court at Auckland. He was there for trial callover for indecent assault. It would have been a third strike offence.
He received his first in 2012 and his second in 2017.
However Justice Simon Moore noted the Crown had applied to amend the charge to doing an indecent act with intent to offend which did not trigger a third strike.
Scanlan then pleaded guilty.
Justice Moore said the offending was a continuation of Scanlan’s nuisance offending.
In November 2018 he was at Mission Bay, drunk, walking along the beach carrying a bottle of wine and pestering sunbathers. He was using a crutch. He went up to a woman lying face down on a towel. He put the end of the crutch between her legs and used it to lift up her skirt.
She yelled at him and ran off. He was caught shortly after.
“Your previous conviction history can only be described as horrific. It runs to 52 pages. I do not have time to analyse it but it is on any analysis appalling.”
He said home detention was inappropriate. Scanlan has no address and is usually listed as no fixed abode on court documents.
Justice Moore jailed him for 12 months.
Scanlan was out again by August when he was on Courtenay Place at a bar. He was approached by staff who thought he was harassing women. When he was asked to leave he hit a staff member five times in the shoulder.
He left and went to Timezone where he sat beside a 9-year-old boy and put his arm around his shoulder and held the boy to him. He put his cheek down against the boy’s.
He was initially charged with indecent assault for that too which would have set off the third strike but the police amended the charge to assault on a child. Again Scanlan avoided going to jail without parole.
Scanlan pleaded guilty to assault and assault on a child. Judge Kelly jailed him for eight months and imposed an impressive set of special release conditions.
They include he is not to go to schools, churches, pool or recreational areas, not to associate with anyone under 16, not to loiter or enter a place where children congregates, not to use illegal drugs and to attend a psychological assessment.
Scanlan has been in custody for four months already. He’ll be out not long after Christmas.”
Great, out in time to vote for Ardern again.
Vote for them? Hell no, he’s qualified to be on the team.
With that record he would be in Cindys office!
I bet he will time his offending so he is out to be able to vote for liarbour
All those restrictions, but he can use plastic and wear a hijab.
They are dumb. It appears a lot of criminal behaviour comes down to never having to grow their intelligence from basic survival levels, skipping much of their schooling, poor thought process, lack of motivation to improve, no polite social skills, acceptance of nuisance and criminal behaviour as normal among their family and social circle. Encouraging this lackadaisical attitude is the acceptance the state will house, feed and clothe you and your whanau without any effort. Shitting on the hand that feeds you also seems acceptable if not necessary by these ferals.
Anyone remember the day these words were uttered in the aftermath of the Pike River tragedy:
“Mr Key said re-entering the mine was not a practical option.
“We’ve spent millions of dollars trying to find a safe way in, but I can’t – either legally or morally – send people into something that could be a death trap … that would be lunacy,” he said.”
Then the sky fell in. Labour played it for all it was worth. John Key couldn’t be trusted,coverups, etc blah…….
Fast forward nine short years & Ardern’s merry men sat on shore while burnt victims died alone on an island because of (wait for it) risk. They probably were dead already, just like in the case of Pike River but it strikes me that sauce for the goose is good for the gander.
Labour will play this for all its worth taking away the other fiasco’s that’s now happening within the coalition..?
Unfortunately the Prime Minister won’t be able to play dress up when delivering the empathy !~
She’s tying corks to a wide brimmed hat as you type stigie. Never underestimate the low down cunning of a socialist PM with media training.
Your words ring true nasska.
In this case the government’s own agency had elevated the risk level due to increased geothermic activity on the island, but dear leader took no action, and even postponed the establishment of yet another working group until it was too late.
Somebody has to be the scapegoat for this disaster. It is simply not good enough for our leaders to continue their inactivity in the face of the most severe warning that their own agency can deliver. Although they will try their hardest to blame this on John Key, there is absolutely no link to 9 long years of neglect that will get them out of this one !
Lats do this? Well now you’ve done it, what’s the next plan Stan?
Maori interests ran the tours, it is hard to turn down a buck. Too soon?
So the maori interests will be ip for paying large fine and compo then!
As Mike Hosking said do the Greens realise that its going to create a lot of C02 shipping all our freight up and down to Northport.
I’d like to see a list of all the other possibilidies
This is startling. Shows the danger of these electric scooter things and lithium batteries……..or maybe it was something else, see what you think. Anyway it made me laugh!

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/118050475/doublebunked-prisoners-paranoia-if-his-cellmate-was-not-from-the-mobl
Would it help if he was from the other mob?
Just look how that sly judge appeared to accept that the 3rd strike sentence was not unjust, but worked around to discount the sentence by running it concurrently with his current sentence.
The wounding was Winitana’s third strike offence, so he had to be sentenced to the maximum for that charge, seven years’ jail, without parole unless that was clearly unjust.
Justice Francis Cooke thought it was not unjust although he said the sentence would start immediately, rather than waiting until Winitana’s current sentence for burglary and assault ends in August 2021.
So that seems to discount the 7 year sentence to about 5 years.
Another Dud judge!
Wonder what his links to the Labour party are?
Surely not?
Why would our media not tell us?
Do we have to read between the lines!
Brother gives heartfelt tribute to Whakatāne man who died in White Island tragedy
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/brother-gives-heartfelt-tribute-whakat-ne-man-died-in-white-island-tragedy?auto=0
“Marshall-Inman is from Whakatāne and News.com.au is reporting Mr Marshall-Inman was a tour guide on White Island.
“My bro Hayden Marshall-Inman has passed away doing the one thing he loved,” brother Mark Inman wrote on Facebook.
Police have not confirmed his name yet.
“It could be one of the great wonders of the world,” said Mr Marshall-Inman told the NZ Herald in 2013 about White Island.
“You get to walk right up close to a volcano – one of the most spectacular things mother nature has created.
“I’ve been out to the island more than 300 times and I still enjoy going out each day.”
At least they got him out before the police shut down the rescue.
Ardern is using the horrific deaths on White Island as a vehicle for an orgy of narcissist self promotion. Her production team are working tirelessly to get the most “empathetic” PR shots to send to media around the world.
What an evil vile little bitch.
The fake news are calling the cops who arrested Brenton “heros”
In fact he offered no resistance and explicitly said in his manifesto that he would not resist police.
Was the cop that threw a man to the ground and said he would shoot him in the face if he looked at him [the cop] again, also a hero? The man was waiting to pick up a kid from school wearing camo clothing. As he regularly did.
It was reported in the MSM but most of you would have missed it. I didn’t
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12213264
Kea, if this was a far right blog, I would tell you what I thought of the cops that arrested Brenton.
Diggy did you see the video. Including the little lady crying for help in the gutter?
That was stone cold.
No I did not
I bet Tarrants view of police has changed now. Also they charged him with murder of someone who was still alive, if it had of happened in America he would of walked already.
Brenton was a sicko. But more intelligent than his fellow lefties.
The double standards around his actions are appalling and exactly as he predicted. He understands the left.
You know what happens in sick societies? you get sickos, also..
A proliferation of laws with the resultant loss of freedom is a sign of, and
directly proportional to, spiritual sickness in a Nation. -David Lane.
We will never know as Labour baned his writings!
Must be too close to Labours manifesto!
You’re not banned from reading or watching anything, it’s against the NZ bill of rights and the UN human rights. You’re just not allowed to possess or distribute.
They don’t tell you this because they hope Kiwis are dumb and think if they read the manifesto they might break the law.
The cops who stopped BT did their job stopping an armed gunman. Those country cops deserve to be praised for their actions.
The cop who targeted the guy wearing camo gear made the wrong choice because of what he was wearing. He over-reacted.
Christchurch is not the country side. Where did you dream that one up?
Can you imagine the stink if police threw a muslim lady to the ground and threatened to shoot her for looking at her attacker while picking the kids up from school – because she wore a headscarf?
Good thing they just so happened to training for a terrorist attack on a mosque at the exact same time a few blocks away aye mate.
How any cop who was there at the time doesn’t think this was weird, is either in on it or has terrible low IQ i’m sure all of them have thought about it.
There is no fucking way that is a “cohencidence”
Hi Guys I’ve been out of action for a while (due to a few health reasons)
But I simply have to post about Ardern and her bloody camera crew milking this White Island horror for any political points she can- Jesus it’s making me sick the endless (blatantly staged) pics of her cuddling people with that over-exaggerated sad face!
As someone who was an Emergency Services first responder for many years I can tell you the troops on the frontline will NOT appreciate this vile woman strutting in and using the disaster scene as one of her bloody Woman’s Day photoshoots…
It is absolutely sickening. And she desperately needs acting lessons too.
The reporter on Magic Radio insinuated the same. Apparently the Emergency Services first responders were at home or heading home for a well deserved rest after a horrendously exhausting time rescuing survivors but had to all rush back to greet Cindy when she arrived in Whakatane.
We all hope that you are well on the road to recovery!
Cheers mate! Still a few rounds left in this journeyman yet…..
Get well Capricorn. Beautiful days to enjoy and you have to be in peak form for the fight to get rid of the COL at the next election. 😎
Strong earthquake 25km from Gisborne
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/12/strong-earthquake-25km-from-gisborne.html
“The magnitude 5.3 quake hit at a depth of 29km. GeoNet says it could have been felt on White Island, Whakatane, Gisborne, Hastings, Rotorua, Taupo, Tauranga, and other areas.
Has Taika Waititi taken up work on “Playschool”? //
That’s it! That’s what set it the eruption off!
LIVE: Jacinda Ardern says ‘scale of tragedy is devastating’ during Parliamentary address on White Island eruption
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/live-jacinda-ardern-says-scale-tragedy-devastating-during-parliamentary-address-white-island-eruption?auto=6114431734001
Maybe she could send in the new armoured vehicles and roving hit teams in black SUVs to make people feel safe.
This entire governments term is one tragedy after the next.
yes please tell me when its safe to watch MSN again
All I see is Ardern at Whakaari island.
Dear God! On Facebook some of Ardern’s brainwashed Labour Party Cultmembers are calling for a Nobel Prize again-
“Jacinda is stunning the World with her Empathy”
“The World has never seen a leader quite like Jacinda- That Nobel Prize awaits”
Stop the freaking World I want to get off….
Anyone else think Ardern and the Labour Party are actually revelling in this horrendous event?
I see in a report about Finnish minister Sanna Marin, 34, becoming the world’s youngest PM that “women MPs say abuse forcing them from politics”.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50709422
Sadly, Jacinda Ardern is not one of them.
Doesn’t she look youth adjacent, I wonder if she will look old and haggard after only two years of office!
I don’t think they have lawn mower sin Finland.
More likely vodka, which they drink to keep warm and drown their sorrows for livng in such a cold miserable place.
I pointed out yesterday that police don’t go to disasters to rescue people. They do it to gather evidence for a prosecution. Their primary goal is preserving the potential crime scene. Dead people are just evidence.
They just announced they are launching a criminal investigation/ witch hunt.
The suspect I presume is a bloody great volcano sitting 50k offshore.
It’s now a criminal investigation. FFS how will they charge White Island for farting?
This is why no one was allowed onto the Island. Timms is as fuckwit. He did the same at Pike river and now it’s all happening again.
I don’t think the United States victims are going to be very impressed with NZ’s way of dealing with accidents.
Having a criminal investigation will be a way of keeping information hidden for yonks… especially if anyone goes to trial.
I hope they sue the Maori owners of the tour company.
ACC limits liability and removes the right to sue.
That will be a difficult one for Yanks to swallow.
Perhaps Genter can explain it to them.
https://www.acc.co.nz/im-injured/financial-support/financial-support-after-death/
The kids taht were paying to attend lanuage school in the CTV Buildling in 2011 had payouts of, I think, less than $40,000 plus funeral costs and incidentals.
I heard “an expert” stating White Island is susceptible to water getting down into the magma and disturbing its stability. Could the heavy rainstorm that hit the country over the previous 24 hours also be implicated in the White Island “volcanic fart”?
What is really criminal about the White Island incident is the way the vile Ardern is milking it for every ounce of publicity she can get. Simply nauseating, even Helen Clarke was not as disgusting as Cindy.
The cops shut down the live stream cameras. Straight away I smell corruption.
Or a public relations effort on behalf of the COL. Can’t have international bad press now can we.
Must be some shit going down here. The COL has been told by the local iwi to shut down any speculation. They are taking thousands of tourists there annually. It’s all about the money.
The GeoNet app on my phone has been sending out Volcanic alert warnings for White Island since October 30. Then it was stage 1. On December 3 it was upgraded to VAW 2
After the eruption it remains at 4.
The question that needs to be asked of the Iwi owners of the tour boats is who decided it was a good idea to go out there and put these tourists at risk.
This is why the police have announced a criminal investigation. To shut down any speculation.
The cops hid the SCADA data from Pike River then denied they had it then said, yeah OK, but it is on an old server that is not very good. Lies and cover-up.
…SCADA monitors all the cameras, the communications, the pumping stations, the gas and fluid levels and the electrics. It holds all the clues to what causes mine explosions…
Posted detail above

Will the cops lie and cover up?
Does night follow day?
The island is privately owned by the Buttle Family Trust. It was bought by George Raymond Buttle, a stockbroker in 1936. Buttle later refused to sell it to the government but agreed in 1952 that it be declared a private scenic reserve
From ZB talkback last night.
He bought it for 1 dollar.
It is mandatory to register all visitors to the island.
The list of visitors was incomplete.

UTS academic charged with orchestrating fake harassment campaign against herself
While reading this article 3 things stand out:
1. A qualified climate change hoaxer.
2. Reluctant to give up Chinese funding
3. Pathetic fraud.
Professor Jolley joined UTS as Dean of Science in December 2018. She has PhD qualifications and a lengthy body of published journal articles on marine pollution and environmental toxicology and chemistry.
She is currently on leave with pay from the university.
Never mind. I’m certain that Massey University won’t pass up recruiting such valuable talent.
In her defense, she has expedited the closure of a woke university.
Well done.
Sorry forgot to post link. Long day. Neighbours pissed. Visitors intimidated etc, etc.

Tomorrow!!
I’m thinking of renting multiple bulldozers to cut a track through their whares so I can safely maneuver a packet of stale winegums to the glovebox of my car.
‘I can visualise the horror’– Former Prime Minister Helen Clark on White Island eruption
“Like countless thousands of people, I have been to White Island and walked to the crater rim, so I can visualise the horror of what happened,” she told the Herald.
FFS – doesn’t she have a broomstick to repair or something?
What a wonderful foreword for Jacinda’s next tome of drivel.
“Witches visit cauldron.”
Was there any truth to the rumour that she used to go commando to get a better grip on the broomstick Nostra?
Asking for Peter. 🙂
Nasska:
This isn’t my area of expertise, but Helen may have gone “commando with bush”, in keeping with the feminist ideology, so there may not have been enough grip on the broomstick? I heard a rumour that Peter was locked in the broom cupboard when H1 and H2 went out.
An Ass Prof from Auckland ( Media Studies !!!) who thinks Corbyn is a saint
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/@ideasroom/2019/12/10/940792/the-most-important-uk-election-since-1979#
“In response to a manifesto containing a fully costed set of policies that an austerity-riven and divided country so clearly needs, the British population are continually told that Corbyn is useless, and yet he has seen off two Conservative Prime Ministers, halted a catastrophic No Deal, and forced a third PM into an early election he didn’t want.”
How many times did Boris ask for an election ? At least 3 times Corbyn turned him down.
From Ross12’s link:
“As British voters cast their ballots on December 12 they will be doing so in the most important election since 1979, but this is not because the ramifications of a possible Brexit have such profound consequences. Rather, it is because this is possibly the last chance to stop the project that started with Margaret Thatcher’s election in 1979 and set the UK on its current course of dismantling the last pieces of welfarism and any remnants of the post-war consensus that still exist.”
*Yawn*
This “Associate Professor of Media and Communication” manages to squeeze in two references to “neoliberalism”. Someone needs to tell him that 1979 was 40 years ago FFS!
Morrissey on KB is asking after Waikato Girl
Should she be worried?
Maggy:
I liked this exchange over there:
Maggy Wassilieff: Holy Moley, I’ve scored 5 down-ticks in less than an hour. I don’t think I’ve ever had 5 down ticks before. I’m flattered, folks.
Captain Mainwaring: Morrissey, Stephie, Martin Williams, Milky and R must have been here.
I think they are all over here now, especially at night.
Should I be worried creepy Morrisey has remembered me? 😲
Very, very worried. He’s one sick unit!
Nasska:
I guess, like last year, Morrissey is offering invites to his “Chez Breen” swingers party. Stephieboy doesn’t seem to have any commitments between now and Christmas (according to the St Albans roster) so the fact that he’s likely to be there should give any normal person pause for thought!
I ignored that creepy invitation! 😳
Oh dear,
I left your contact details for him over at KB.
I thought I was being ever so helpful…
That’s okay Maggy, I can ignore creeps with the best of them. 😂
Haha..
I do recall a couple of weeks ago, he made mention of some “do” at Chez Breen after one of my posts.

Perhaps I should surprise him… and he could discover what a bundle of fun this old teetotaller (who loathes music, boring men, etc) is.
However,
he spelt my name incorrectly… and perhaps he was pining for maggie pie (who seems a bundle of fun, if she’d only dump that Partner of hers).
I didn’t think Morrissey would allow stoooopidboy to take his goat to the party.
He could of course use a bin liner and pretend it is cindy-bin-lying.
I’m certain that with pick up lines such as “Poppa, did your Dentist feel and squeeze your nipples?” he’ll be the life & soul of the party. 🙂
Nasska:
Imagine if Dennis Horne (the dentist who crash-landed his microlight on an Auckland beach) and Stephieboy were both at Morrissey’s party, and Stephieboy tried that pickup line on him!
Gosh,
I’m beginning to feel a bit sad for Morrissey if NO-ONE turns up to his place…..
BUT, I do recall he also told all you chaps that the booze would be flowing…

and I reckon that is just Lefty code for let’s stupefy 16 year-olds.
I have visions of Morrisey serving alcohol in an open shirt and a gold medallion, as if shiny things attract female “magpies” to his nest. Urgh 🤢
I think this is closer to the truth

Flights delayed at New Zealand, Australian airports due to IT failure

I saw earlier a story with a headline like “Police backtrack on White Island criminal investigation” (paraphrasing – I don’t recall the exact wording but I know what I saw) on the NZ Herald website. It’s been removed and I can’t find any trace of it. How interesting. Surely a supposed newspaper of record wouldn’t delete a story without leaving any trace of it. The appropriate thing to do would be to issue a “retraction”.
Edit: Ah I see what they’ve done. The text has been moved to (and buried in) another story: Police now say “to correct an earlier statement, it is too early to confirm whether there will also be a criminal investigation.”.
Source: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12292540
Yep,
I was watching an o/s news site, where the announcer backtracked on stating that there would be a criminal investigation.
Has Kea caught up with the fact that the CEO of the White Island Tour Company is an ex-MP (National)?
The world watched while the NZ police sat around trying to decide whether they could land on White Island or not. As Heather du Plessis-Allan put it:
“Even now, more than 24 hours on, Police haven’t been to the island yet. They haven’t set foot on the place. The people who have been rescued were rescued by private citizens, by a group of helicopter pilots and boat skippers who saw the eruption and rushed to the island to help, acting like absolute heroes, putting themselves at risk”.
And, to make matters worse, the NZ police announced a criminal investigation only to “correct” the announcement within an hour or two.
What a national embarrassment.
With that useless prick Timms in charge what do you expect. Has someone said something to him about all the problems this will cause to the maori owners of the tour boats?
Dunkirk style.
That’s how it is done.
Look after your fellow man..and woman
Do the risk assessment later.

Fox and Friends host Pete Hegseth is ‘BANNED from Twitter’ after sharing anti-American ‘manifesto’ of Pensacola shooter Mohammed Alshamrani
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7769709/Fox-host-Pete-Hegseth-BANNED-Twitter-sharing-manifesto-Pensacola-shooter.html?ito=amp_twitter_share-top
I can’t find any lies in Alshamranis manifesto, he’s 100% right about everything.
Arderns hatred of the productive regions is shining through after the volcano. No
practical help, just photo shoots of fake concern.
People were left to die so the pigs could get a conviction and Ardern could virtue signal.
