Arrived in Russia today. A lot of litter along the roads, which are in pretty rough condition. People living in the country seem to be pretty much in poverty. I am surprised at the hardship I see. I guess it will take a lot longer to recover from communism than they have had.
Nothing has changed since I was there 42 years ago? Best we don’t tell Cindy that her nirvana is not working. I guess she’s so blinded by stupididy that she doesn’t want to know.
Russia is a pretty big place. Moscow?
I went from Nakhodka to Moscow on the trans Siberian train at the height of the Cold War. It reeked of poverdy then, so not much has changed.
I did the trip in 1070. I forget a lot as we were with some Aussies and were drunk most of the trip as were many of the crew on the train.
I wonder what Emma Thompson did to piss off journalists? Normally this stench of hypocrisy goes un-reported by the media.
https://www.msn.com/en-nz/entertainment/celebrity/emma-thompson-the-first-class-hypocrite-actress-is-pictured-dining-on-champagne-and-beef-in-£18000-personal-booth-on-carbon-spewing-ba-plane-jetting-to-new-york-days-after-lecturing-us-all-to-stop-flying/ar-AAAW09J?ocid=spartandhp
I’ve quoted the piece in full sans pictures. This is something I’m not wont to do but have done so that there is a full record…in case it disappears whenever Thompson has redeemed herself to Leftards. Quite frankly, I’m amazed. Perhaps this will become another example of the Left eating itself?
Emma Thompson the first-class hypocrite! Actress is pictured dining on champagne and beef in £18,000 personal booth on carbon-spewing BA plane jetting to New York days after lecturing us all to stop flying
Left-wing actress Dame Emma Thompson was branded a ‘first-class hypocrite’ last night after jetting to New York just days after backing climate protests that brought chaos to London.
The Jeremy Corbyn supporter took her personal booth in the luxury cabin of a British Airways flight from Heathrow to JFK on Friday morning after earlier demanding: ‘We should all fly less.’
First-class BA flights to New York cost up to £18,000 and generate nearly two tons of carbon dioxide – the main driver of climate change – for each passenger in the elite cabin.
Onlookers claim the multi-millionaire activist also drank Laurent-Perrier champagne and dined on beef carpaccio – even though cattle farming is also a major contributor to greenhouse gasses.
Dame Emma has also previously called on people to eat less meat in the name of ‘preserving the planet’.
Cows produce methane – which is 23 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide – while clearing forests for pasture and to grow feed for livestock also drives global warming.
Just two weeks before her 3,400-mile flight, lifelong Labour supporter Dame Emma, 60, joined the Extinction Rebellion protests that shut down swathes of Central London, climbing aboard a pink boat the activists had used to blockade Oxford Circus.
The group wants to curb air travel and even made an abortive attempt to close Heathrow Airport, from where she departed at 11.20am on Friday for the eight-hour journey. Her share of the carbon dioxide generated by the flight was the same as that emitted by heating an average house for nine months.
Dame Emma was spotted in 2F – one of the most exclusive seats on board the Boeing 777-200, which accommodates just 14 wealthy passengers in the first-class cabin.
An onlooker said Dame Emma – who has previously championed the Meat Free Monday movement which aims to raise awareness of the environmental damage caused by eating meat – was ‘tucking into those bovines who produce all that methane’.
Extinction Rebellion believes that there is now a ‘climate crisis’ and has suggested that flights be used only in an emergency.
Dame Emma was previously criticised after flying 5,400 miles from her 60th birthday party in Los Angeles to join their protests over the Easter weekend. On Good Friday, the Hollywood star, who lives in Hampstead, North London, but regularly flies to and from the US, addressed protesters at their makeshift camp off Oxford Street.
She told them: ‘I am so proud and thrilled to be part of Extinction Rebellion.
‘We have to be here, we have to do this. It’s inconvenient for people sometimes but it’s much more inconvenient to leave a planet that’s so completely destroyed.’
At the time, the group defended its celebrity backer. It insisted that the tons of carbon her flight produced for her to be at their protest was an ‘unfortunate cost in our bigger battle to save the planet’.
And addressing the charge of hypocrisy, Dame Emma added: ‘It’s very difficult to do my job without occasionally flying, although I do fly a lot less than I did.
‘Yes, it’s unhappy and an inconvenience and we’re often involved in situations where we will be hypocritical, but if we don’t address this we are failing our children and our grandchildren.’
But she insisted: ‘We should all fly less, the future of this planet is at stake and that’s perhaps more important than our own reputations.’
Dame Emma says she plants trees to make amends for her globe-trotting, claiming: ‘I’m in the very fortunate position of being able to offset my carbon footprint, but most people can’t.’
An Extinction Rebellion spokesman said: ‘If Emma Thompson wants to come and help out, that’s great – she’s using her platform which is incredibly valuable to anyone. If she has to fly around the world like a climate lawyer might have to fly around the world, it seems counter-productive in the short term but we are looking at the bigger picture.’
But last night critics branded the excuses nonsense.
Tory MP David Morris said: ‘This is typical Left-wing “Do as I say, not as I do”. Dame Emma Thompson is clearly a first-class hypocrite and a champagne socialist.’
Dame Emma’s agent declined to comment last night. It is not known whether her flight was a free upgrade.
Probably nothing.
Why? Arch-hypocrites like Al Gore, Prince Charles and Leonardo di Caprio do not get this level of scrutiny by the media for their hypocrisy.
Arch-feminist Germaine Greer was a darling of the media until her comment that males suffering from gender disphoria cannot be female. Now she’s persona non grata.
I’d say Thompson has failed some Left purity test…
According to her Wikipedia profile she has said some negative things about the Koran.
I’m an atheist … I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It’s not enough to say that I don’t believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing: I am offended by some of the things said in the Bible and the Qur’an and I refute them.
I suspect being offended by things in the Bible is more than okay (a plus in the purity test) but the Koran? That’s probably a step too far.
It’s always different when the lefties do it
LoL, I fucking love it, but it’s ok cos Ems planted a tree once somewhere and that indulgence grants her immunity to commit all manner of other crimes against the Climate.
For some reason, you mentioning a tree reminded me of the One Tree of Yamal, and nobody better interfere with that tree from Siberia!
In the Land of Yamal where the Briffa lie,
One tree to rule them all, one tree to find them,
One tree to bring them all and in the larches bind them,
In the Land of Yamal where the Briffa lie.
YAD06 is the most important tree in the world.
When Michael Mann’s dodgy analysis of bristlecones was a bit of an orphan, Keith Briffa stepped into the picture to produce his own hockey stick graph…based on the One Tree (he eliminated all the other trees in his study).
But of course, climate scientology is above reproach.
If you aren’t aware, bristlecones are amazingly accurate historical thermostats. Well, so long as you don’t use them for thermostat readings after 1960. You have to ignore those bits of data as they’re a bit inconvenient. But before then, they’re absolutely correct. Oh, and ignore data from bristlecones before Mann’s hockey stick starts as well. All of that needs to be swept under the carpet. But other than that, absolutely correct. Well, so long as you use Mann’s algorithm to read the data. You know, the one that produces hockey stick graphs from random data, like Canadian telephone numbers. Then it’s all sweet.
Oh, and just don’t bother the One Tree of Yamal. Briffa’s paper totally affirms Mann’s work if you leave that One Tree alone (and don’t include the other trees, those are evil trees).
Climate Scientology is so not dodgy like phrenology.
I meant thermometers.

When you climb aboard the pink climate change boat and tell others how to care for the planet, it’s best not to be seen on a gas-guzzling aeroplane.
Emma Thompson has been called out for rampant hypocrisy and rightly so.
Draining the SWAMP. One rip off at a time.
The Trump administration on May 2 finalized a Medicaid rule that will cut off states from skimming Medicaid payments from home caregivers and diverting them to labor unions.
While federal law requires Medicaid payments to be made directly to the service providers, several states began flouting the requirement in the 1990s, by diverting portions of the payments toward union dues.
In 2017, eight states took approximately $150 million in Medicaid payments from the wages of more than 350,000 caregivers, according to a report by the Freedom Foundation, a non-profit that has led the fight to curtail the practice.
“Caregivers deserve to be able to choose how to spend their wages after they’ve been paid in full for their services,” said Maxford Nelsen, the director of labor policy at the Freedom Foundation. “If they wish to support a union, that’s up to them. But giving unions access to caregivers’ paychecks has enabled them to exploit caregivers, using an array of unethical and illegal schemes, up to and including forging signatures on membership forms.”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-administration-blocks-states-from-skimming-medicaid-payments-for-unions_2907345.html
We need a leader like this.
The Supreme Court in 2014 struck down mandatory union dues requirements for home caregivers as unconstitutional. The same year, the Obama administration attempted to retroactively legitimize the practice by adding an exception to the direct payment requirement. The Trump administration’s Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) announced in July 2018 that it intends to undo the Obama-era rule. The final rule will be effective in July 2019.
So Obama paid for his votes with this.
This is just the first of many revelations that will be coming to see the light of day. Trump is out to get Obama and reveal to all that he was as corrupt as the Clintons.
The most amusing thing is idiots like her and extinction rebellion (lol!) actually think they are going to sink the airline industry. They either do not have a clue about how the real world operates, are retarded, or both.
I was walking through a field in Vietnam with my mate when I spotted a silver disc on the ground. As I bent down down to pick it up, my mate stopped and shouted “Stop! That’s a mine!”
I said “Bullshit. Finders keepers! Anyway why you suddenly talking like an Italian?”
Ockers have been telling me all his year that they expect a new PM after the upcoming elections.
Now the slime has finally caught up and is spouting the same thing.
The Ockers seem to change PMs with about the same frequency they change underpants.
Why can’t NZ be more like Oz for once?
Labour did their best to achieve that with Goff, Shearer,Cunliffe, Little and Ardern.
Their problem was they didn’t understand they were in opposition while doing the change the leader dance.
Academic accused of ‘racism’ for saying ‘Pākehā’ after championing ethnic communities
https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/112474316/academic-accused-of-racism-for-saying-pkeha-after-championing-ethnic-communities
“A prominent academic was accused of being racist for using the word “Pākehā” – moments after imploring the Christchurch City Council to improve its efforts over cultural diversity.
University of Canterbury Associate Professor Ekant Veer was urging councillors to be more considerate to diverse communities when he used the te reo term to illustrate how people can be excluded from what goes on in the city”.
So it seems this guy really got up someones arse with his speech but the bigger issue it raises is why does the council need to be considerate to diverse communities as he urges?.
If you come to live in NZ then surely it is your responsibility to fit in with the existing cultures and structures and not expect the host country to change it’s arrangements to accommodate you.
I mean lets be honest,most of these immigrants who ask for more understanding have left primitive shit hole countries so why would NZ need to adopt any aspect of their culture or their ideas as they are obviously inferior or their previous country of residence would have not been so attractive to leave.
Do you think it’s because they get all this free stuff in the name of inclusividy and posadividy?
This is the first time I’ve heard pakeha as being a term of affection:
Veer told the woman while he appreciated her perspective, such stories about the word’s meaning were not necessarily true, that the term is used with affection rather than racism or hate, and that he did so after discussing it with a mentor at the university.
While I have heard that pakeha meant insults like ‘white pig’ and that this is probably not true, I’d never heard of it being positive either.
Not even Maori News tries to paint the word pakeha as some sort of positive term. https://maorinews.com/writings/papers/other/pakeha.htm. It could even be argued that pakeha was somewhat demeaning in origin (if pakepakeha is the true etymology) with mythical creatures who are mischievous, human-like beings, with fair skin and hair who lived deep in the forest, coming out only at night.
At best, pakeha is neutral: neither positive (affection) nor negative.
I don’t have a problem with the word, but then it comes down to context, and in that context I might have taken umbrage. he might have thought that he was one of us by using common Maori words, without having thought about actual meaning, but common usage. Seems presumptuous.
As an American immigrant, I demand that Kiwis celebrate the 4th of July and Thanksgiving, out of respect for my cultural rights. All these years I have felt SO discriminated against…boo hoo hoo poor me….Oh yeah I’m a white guy so that doesn’t count lol. I’m lucky- people only know I’m a Yank when I talk! I blend right in 🙂
Whangārei people with disabilities join city’s homeless

More fake news by National Party stooges to try and discredit Jacinda.
Maybe she could show them how inclusive and caring she is though by bringing Neve up to “the carpark” for a meet and greet or maybe even hold the royal wedding here and feed the leftover scraps to the peasants.
It’s pretty bad up here. Even those with full time jobs have trouble finding anything suitable. I rent a 1911 farm house that is insulated, and has a wood burner. Such basic accommodation is worth more than gold now. Compared to a car or garage I live in luxury!
For those that are Maori, why can’t they return to their marae? I would imagine that ones crimes must be egregious indeed to be deprived of ones whakapapa and government funds them well.
Thought police at it on Sunday morning in New Zealand
https://youtu.be/4tKEjSVhj-Q
some seriously shady shit going on with this CoL
I could not make out exactly what the police wanted to talk to him about?
with Christchurch shooting and that he had been identified ……. (words I can not truly identify) …. but the police did not want to talk about things while on camera.
The police could also be easily surreptitiously recording.
He was on his own.
There were 2 police, so not only would one policeman have a better rating in any court, but verification of another officer that was there, listening first hand, gives the police a high rating in credibility.
All the time measuring and remembering your reaction, a smile, a laugh, a shiver, whatever, even if you said nothing.
As he wanted to keep on recording, and the police did not then want to talk or question, will it now go on his record as “hostile”?
Is it a pre-crime investigation? or soon to be considered retrospectively?
Above Utube link 4 min. 28 sec. is rapidly increasing in numbers and a few comments.
One can click through to his face book, and then pick up on the numerous comments.
Are the NZ police feeling like they are on shifting ground and not certain they have the law on their side? I don’t know what the bloke had said on FB, but I would like to know the answer to his question why officers of our NZ police force were not comfortable asking a NZ citizen who was non-threatening the questions they had come to ask while being filmed?
Less and less transparency is the camouflage of this COL and their police doormats.
The NZ police are not your friend.
They are very confrontational and are shadowing the discredited UK police.
Sorry, this is a bit long, 1100 words.
You have been so advised.
The UK police in recent times:
>>Completely ruin (multiple) guy’s lives based on unsubstantiated and a unsustainable lies from various women about sexual assault. The woman’s motive can be that they want to bring the guy down out of pure malice and the coppies do a good job of that. The guy will be named and shamed in the courts and media, lose their job, lose family and other relationships, incur debt and be unable to earn a living, while the lying accuser has name suppression. They are disgusting.
>>They work to embarrass people eg Cliff Richard- they informed the media they were doing a raid at his home in order to embarrass him and have the media record it. Cliff Richard was not accused of anything. it was a coppie shakedown. He successfully sued the grubby, leftie BBC.
>>They ignore reports of rape if the accusers are not ‘pure white’ but go after people who won’t support mentally ill people who are, say male, but think they are female. Instead of helping mentally ill people they go after decent people who won’t kowtow to nonsense.
>>They were dancing in the streets 2 weeks ago with the criminal perpetrators of the so called ‘extinction rebellion’ and allowed them to block people lawfully engaged and going about their business. This went on for days before pressure made them take legitimate action.
The point of no return has probably been achieved with Cressida Dick as head of The Met.
She is living in a lesbian relationship with an inferior on the force. If it was a heterosexual male….
In NZ it is a similarly subtle build up but now the coppies are weaponised (politically) ..and armed with guns (which are meant to be evil, huh! ) .
They will use crap like being mean to trannies and thinking nasty thoughts to harass people.
1984! Arrived!
They have been harassing gun owners for years to the point some gun clubs have banned them from using their facilities. Now they are armed ….and protecting us from what?
I contend that they are armed and dangerous and not your friend if you are a normal taxpayer.
They even get guns stolen from their own station but if you had guns stolen from your gun rack, imagine the grief.
Brenton Tarrant was a black swan event otherwise it would have happened before in NZ.
It has not. There have been no mass murders (4 or more people murdered) in NZ since Jim Bolger was PM. Only when Bolger was PM.
None since until 15 March this year and before 1990, going back to the 1940s.
There is no sense in making extra rules on one-off events so this is a political move for control.
Marxism is a Brand of Totalitarianism just like Persil is a Brand of washing powder .
A key ingredient of Totalitarianism is Control.
The thing the Russian Marxists had going for them in 1917 was there was an existing state of Chaos with WW1 and dissatisfaction with the aloof and rather bastardly Upper Class.
Otherwise Marxist/Totalitarianism need to create chaos to further their goals.
The 15 March event is a catalyst for this.
Just as people were not alert to the activity and motives of Tarrant, the general populace who watch mind numbing 6pm ‘news’ are not alert to the desire of the current mob for totalitarianism.
Shower heads and light bulbs have got nothing on this current mob.
Just as Obama weaponised the IRS on his political opponents, the COL will weaponise the NZ police to break their opponents.
The squeaky little unionist prick Chris Cahill will be loving this.
Mike Bush will be in, jackboots and all.
They have chipped around the edges in recent times with harassing New World Courtenay Place supermarket when crooks were in the car park during closing hours and the cops were too lazy to enforce the law. They simply went after a NZ owned, taxpaying business and harassed them.
This was in the period when they considered burglary is not a crime but going 5 km/hr over the speed limit is a dreadful thing.
The recent mass road deaths in the Tokoroa/Taupo area were from unsafe cars and limited use of seatbelts. But 5 km/hr over the speed limit is so, so bad!
With no restraint after the New World carry on, they moved to actively oppose liquor licencing so instead of being arbiter they became a player .
See, no resistance, they get emboldened.
If you get pulled over on a road check their immediate stance is conflict. I was breathalysed 2 years ago and was under the limit but still got an aggressive lecture about how wrong it is to drink and drive. Wow stupid of the coppie.
If I was a Maori without a licence I would have probably got a hug and an warm cup of unicorn milk.
In the golden olden days of the separate traffic cops one of two things happened.
You were wrong and got a verbal bollocking but no fine. The ‘scared shitless’ approach.
Or you were fined and paid up. Simple.
Now under the new regime you get a bollocking even when you have done nothing wrong.
Be Afraid.
Prior to that I had registered and warranted a motorbike on a Friday in November for summer use and was pulled over at a checkpoint on the Saturday. The bike was legit with stickers displayed but the cop went agro because it was not on his clearly out-of-date records. It was only a Council worker in the joint operation who defused it. I was not going to admit to being wrong when I was not, but the coppies love intimidation esp. when there are a few of them around.
It was 2 years ago Anzac Day that the Invercargill cop Ben McLean murdered his (ex) wife and attempted to murder another man. Injured with a gun shot from McLean the second potential murder victim fought back and over powered an armed cop who had planned the assassination but was too useless to achieve more than half of it.
How many other homicidal maniacs are lurking in the NZ police force?
The NZ police have shown their true colours over the Teina Pora case. The kid was a dim twit with Foetal alcohol syndrome.
At no point did they let up on him and we the taxpayers forked out the multi million dollar settlement, not the cops.
Malcolm Rewa was convicted of the murder this year.
This underscores how irrational the cops are.
They won’t back down when wrong and a TV documentary shows this to the nation.
Now they can visit homes with no clear description of why they are harassing homeowners not in the act of committing a crime.
We live in dangerous times. The danger is from a politicised police force who have moved on to being thought police but don’t have very strong thought processes themselves.
Their firearm management is underwhelming and the armed, murdering P.O.S. Cop McLean was overwhelmed by a person he had already shot.
Speaking of light bulbs…
OMG just saw an ad on tv one of a larger polynesian man? in speedos and man boobs, why should bare man boobs be allowed on tv? Isn’t that sexist? If I see it again I will post what product, I didn’t even see, maybe it was an ad for tv 1 itself?
Judges ordered cultural reports ‘in error’
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/388555/judges-ordered-cultural-reports-in-error
“District and High Court judges have been ordering special reports on the backgrounds of mainly Māori and Pasifika offenders, apparently unaware the law did not allow them to.
Information obtained by RNZ under the Official Information Act shows the Justice Ministry stopped paying for cultural reports in June last year after realising they were not publicly funded.
Cultural reports are done by experts who do not work for Corrections and can cost anywhere between $800 and $6000”.
The article goes on to quote a whole lot of people who are campaigning to have these reinstated with public funding and not surprising really given it is obviously a nice little earner for a select group of “Maori and Pasifika experts”.
More racial troughing in our justice system.
So the judges who previously ordered these unfunded reports should now be required to reimburse the taxpayer.
So these reports contained factors about the perpetrators lives and what circumstances should be used to mitigate their guilt? So in essence a deeper pre sentence report with a cultural bias?
I was just over at KB and had a thought about Kokila Patel, and how they feel about having to put up General debate for the white sexist (for everone else), mysogenist(for women especially), patriarchial, oppressive old white people to make their racist remarks on?
Kokila Patel has survived through the good old days of uncensored KB without packing a sad so one would suspect she must be made of stronger stuff than a lot of our other delicate ethnic minorities.
A Training exercise will be held next week in case of Mount Ruapehu erupting. If you hear an alarm go off , don’t panic.

Thought of the Tangiwai disaster…watched a documentary about it years ago and it stuck with me.
There was a softback book published in 1972 which gives a very full account of the disaster & the aftermath. The Tangiwai Disaster by Graham Stewart published by Grantham House.
Well worth a read if you can buy, rent or half-inch a copy.

Put Islam at centre of post attack mental health support-social worker
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/388576/inclusive-mental-health-approach-recognises-muslim-needs
How about not do this as we are being told all the time “we are one” yet solutions treating muslims different from everyone else are constantly being espoused.
Besides anyone who believes in Islam and can’t see that it is also an integral part of the cycle of violence in the world obviously has mental health issues already so more religion is the last thing they need.

interesting article on Radio NZ about the cannabis referendum, would we want it binding any incoming National Government. When should binding be binding?
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/388537/little-guarantees-binding-cannabis-referendum-but-yet-to-define-binding
Let’s re-calibrate the meaning of “binding”says Little! I’m a smoker, but I’m not stupid. Much of the country will be appalled by the idea of legalization. This will be interesting…..like everything else these butt heads try to do, it will probably fail anyway.
oxymoron alert
I’m a smoker, but I’m not stupid?
Not for me! It’s been part of my daily routine for so long it’s as normal as coffee. It never burned me out, or affected my marriage, (my wife does not partake) employment etc. I became hooked so young I really can’t imagine a day without it 35 years later. I’m not promoting it whatsoever. Those are my personal circumstances.
Same as me. Smoked for relaxation, once a week or fortnight for fifty years with no issues. Wife & family don’t worry but I can’t say the same for alcohol.
I’ve been on the wagon for nineteen years but after three visits to rehab I sure know that I can’t handle the grog!
Stay clean my friend 🙂 I drink my share of booze but hate myself for it. Never felt guilty about tokin’ quality pot.
Even if you were promoting it, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Just because the moral zealots have deemed it evil does not mean we all have to fall in line.
Smoking is no more fucked up than going vegan in my book.
A bloke & his girlfriend were chatting when she asked him how many sexual partners he’d had before they met.
“I’ve been very unlucky, ” he replied, “only five. ”
“I wouldn’t consider five to be unlucky, ” she answered. ”
“It is when they’re all catholic priests “.
t Church one Sunday it was noticed that two alter boys were laying face down in the snow outside the place, with their pants down. When a churchgoer asked “What are you boys doing?!!” One replied, well Father likes a couple of cold ones after mass…

FFs that poor child, didn’t anyone ask him.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/112504681/toddler-dies-after-hospital-staff-failed-three-times-to-identify-possible-abuse
Apology to the family! What about a murder charge for the dead toddler?
I have a very politically incorrect theory about child abuse, especially amongst the racial group who seem to practise it most often.
It’s simple. We value gold & diamonds because they are rare. As timber we value kauri over macrocarpa because there’s very little of the former left. In fact I can’t think of bugger all examples where value isn’t tied to supply & demand.
The one thing that NZ’s no-hopers can produce in abundance is babies, probably because it requires no education, no work & immediate gratification. Lose one……okay……spread legs & breed another.
Welfare doesn’t protect kids……it devalues their existence!
How does a toddler end up with a broken leg? Four hospital admissions…family inflicted. Vermin.
Oh come on, they were just another loving whanau who was let down by the system.
The lack of the provision of “wrap around” support for the whanau is evident.
If they had have had proper training in how to thrash the hell out of the “tamariki” without causing serious damage none of this would have happened.
Institutional racism I reckon.
One dead on average every 5 weeks. Always such a loving whanau.
Any evil bastard who causes the death of a defenceless child needs to be taken out.
Goneburger.
The tolerance towards the perpetrators – hereinafter known as baby bashers- claiming to themselves being a ‘victims of colonisation’ has to stop if we are to be a decent society.
Stop getting angry at a footy players tweeting that homos, liars, and fornicators will go to hell – no-one got hurt except those cry babies so weak it is a wonder they can take another breath — and start getting ANGRY at this violent sub species.
The media are complicit in this. They actually facilitate the slack attitude.
Stop wasting column inches and yik yak airtime on Mr Folau who hurt nobody and come down like a reign of terror on these scum. Make it clear it is not acceptable by anyone at anytime.
Sticks and stones kill babies. Words don’t hurt. Tweets are just words. Harden up.
Don’t eight year old learn the rhyme ,sticks and stones etc?
The Nia Glassie case should have been a bright line test in NZ.
It was disgusting. Beyond that in fact.
It should have been the line where all elements of the community stop any fkg excuses and come down like a ton of bricks on any and all perpetrators.
If no-one owns up they are ALL guilty.

Have a toll free number from any phone that can work even if the is no money on a prepaid , is a starting point. No questions asked.
