And the Government, media and others attack Simon and National for there stance on the gangs.
In Nasheys home territory that him and Angry liddle Little want to vote for and not send to prison! Labour voters the lot of them!
Do they really vote?
Sooty – I’m in that electorate.
I don’t know if Nats have even found a candidate yet.
My party vote definitely won’t be going to Labour, but if no one can field a quality candidate what am I supposed to do?
Act havent,which is probably good news for Mr doyouknowwhoIam Nash
The Mongrel pups have been into the P stocks.
Oh its alright Racheal , Nash says the gang warfare is under control
Are white folk the most woke?
Paying for most af the bennies and Maori kick backs!
The donations mess reveals a vacuum in our political system, who will fill it so Danyl Mclauchlan gives his take on the problem.
Different Journalists but same shit with the media happy to point out all they see wrong with the opposition and gloss over the facts that we have a corrupt Coalition Government.
If this Government committed murder this political corrupt media would still find a reason to support the Government as they only want Jacinda Ardern as there Leader and Prime Minister.
https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/17-02-2020/winstons-latest-antics-have-redefined-the-choice-architecture-for-swing-voters/
How could anyone from the media come up with a argument to support Leaders from the Coalition turning a blind eye to support a long standing politician with form on gaming the electoral system for this blatant breach of the rules concerning donations.
NZ First Foundation saga : Greens break silence on “chilling” on photos of Journalists.
The Greens have broken their silence and expressed alarm on photos of ex NZ First President with Journalists who have been on the story of donations to NZ First , but James Shaw stopped short of asking questions of their Governing Partner.
Simon Bridges had this to say about the Greens and Labour, if this had been National that was involved in such a thing Labour with the Greens would be shouting from the rooftops for all to hear.

Weak feeble Leaders that dont want to lose the big pay packet that they get for being absolute hypocrites.
Where’s Hager?
You’d think he’d have a thing to say on this.
Nah the Warehouse has stopped buying his books. It ended up costing them too much in losses in the bargain bins. even at 50 cents they chucked most of them out.
Do you? I can only assume sarcasm dripping from your keyboard lol.
Yup
Torrents of it!
Should bottle it and send it to Northland!
And here’s Jacinda Ardern saying that the NZF and her Deputy PM’s behaviour has NOTHING to do with her
https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/morningreport/audio/2018734421/jacinda-ardern-washes-hands-of-winston-peters-photos-fracas
(from 3:00 min)
I listened and took the view Ms Ardern cannot expect the line that she has no responsibilities for the behaviour of Coalition partners will be accepted.
The issues strike at democratic process being correctly handled and confidence in government. The minimum would be for the party involved to stand down, or be stood down if they have hesitation, until the issues are examined and reported.
The response in relation to any similar issue being faced by the Opposition party has no relevance when it is a part of the Coalition government, headed by Ms Ardern that is implicated.
Those implicated carry senior ministerial and cabinet roles. That connects their actions directly to Ms Ardern as PM. The party affiliations do not.
I consider Ms Ardern should re examine her position on these matters.
What position? If you don’t like the one I have now, Don’t worry, I have many more. I will even don the old head scarf to show my concern with your position.
How come she never donned the grass skirt and swung the poi at grievance day or ratana party?
Muslims, must be worth more!
Because Tarrant said he hated the scarf.
He also said other insulting things about her.
The scarf was to tell that person whose name she won’t mention who’s Boss.
Then she rammed through the very gun controls he said she would.
It would be hilarious if it weren’t for the loss of life.
Yes , and she could do like those big burly fellas and have her bare arse hanging out
Will she stand by all her statements as PM when she is on the opposition benches? Like hell.
So is the ptpm saying they can do and say what they like and its nothing to do with her? Wow, that is a different sort of an attitude. Think it’s time we returned to First Past the Post voting system.
Is there a part of the consumer gaurantees act that covers concerts?
Or are our hard earned funds going offshore anyway?
Emotional Sir Elton John ends Auckland concert early after being diagnosed with ‘walking pneumonia’
Can some learned person tell us what that is.

Never mind. Here it is. a mild form of pneumonia or like a bad cold.

Yeah well…. anyone who paid out good money to watch that tired burnt out pretentious pooftah ‘singing’ deserved everything they got, frankly.
Not a fan eh
Nahhh
Walking pneumonia?! Haven’t heard Wuhan flu called that before.
Picked up in the jetstream from China on his way to sing at the Oscar’s!
That teach him to be a pretentious fit!
If he had stayed here, he would have been fine!
Well,he seemed ok at the Mission…
Ol’ reggie Dwight might have been crushed under the tonnes of carbon he burnt going to the back-slapping oscars to perform one song !
He could learn from those younger whipper snappers and do some lip synching like Tay tay and Beyonce.
They have no shame; why should he?
It can also be related to cancer.
Auckland mother says landlords won’t rent to her because of her six kids

“Auckland Action Against Poverty coordinator Ricardo Mernendez March said the plan was a start – but more houses needed to be added to the government stock.”
I see the latest Green candidate has plenty to say. When do his comments become electioneering?
And when does Newshub’s free coverage get declared as a political donation?
Every time he speaks.
The meat sack and its worthless spoor deserve nothing from us.
Why are we funding anything beyond a second child?
More than three tonnes of drugs seized at New Zealand border in 2019

“We are experiencing an evolution in the volume and craftiness of the criminal syndicates who seek to peddle these products in our communities,” she said.
While acknowledging the sale of drugs is a global issue, she said Australian deportees are part of the problem.
“This is partly due to the criminals who have returned from Australia as deportees, and have brought their know-how and international criminal networks.”
Oh No, our gangs are going to aust, to go to school!
It looks like New Zealand could be in for a bumpy ride economically if Economists are right.
Economist Rodney Jones is anticipating “quite a shock” for NZ in the fall out of COVID-19 Coronavirus and said Chinese Ambassador to NZ Wu Xi needed to ” over her calls pull her head in a bit” over her calls for the travel ban to be lifted.
“We are looking at a larger disruption” Mr Jones said ” if it lasts into March which is possible, then we are looking at quite a severe economic shock”
” Unless this resolves quickly in the next we have a problem”.

With all the scandals and a General Election in September to deal with the Coalition will need to be seen to be making good decisions to save what some think could be a mauling at the Election.
Dont worry, they are burning all the bodies in Wuhan

Election 2020: MPs get practise in for September
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/02/election-2020-mps-get-practise-in-for-september.html
Note: Simon Bridges is making an announcement on National Party policies today.
Oh God…. I can’t wait. Is the glorious dynamic Mr Bridges really going to make an announcement today? Like, really really?
Has he come up with a cunning scheme to reduce our ‘carbon emissions’? Perhaps a plan to make schools more’ ‘inclusive’ for transgender pre-teens? Or maybe he’s going to find a way to give what’s left of our country to the Maoris?
This is going to be an event worth bookmarking, that’s for sure. I don’t want to miss this…..
Don’t shoot the messenger Dave!
It doesn’t mean I’ll vote for them but at least National are organised enough to have a plan in place. When Duncan Garner asked Socialist Cindy this morning if Labour were planning tax cuts her reply was “give us a chance, we haven’t written our policies yet”.
But he’s not really any sort of ‘messenger’ is he? Neither Bridges nor his party have shown that they have any vision or ideas about NZ’s future other than dribbling left-of-centre wokeism. Socialism in drag. Pathetic.
What are the chances that this man will say anything meaningful about such things as freedom of speech, property rights, creeping totalitarianism, industry, firearms, education standards or the flagrant attacks on capitalism and landlords today?
I meant don’t shoot me, I was only passing on the message… 😇
Oops… my apologies!!! 😀
Good on National for been ready for an early election! At least they are out of the blocks! The COL is smelling and won’t see the distance! How can the Comrade electioneer with the stink surrounding them all! TAINTED I say!
Have they set up the specific election policy working group yet? Helen, Cullen…
Well his big release was hardly inspirational. I don’t believe National have any idea about running the economy .
I adhere to Mike Riddells approach and the first thing to do is stop mass immigration which is the root cause of a whole raft of issues.
I am sure the Nats have had plenty of feedback in response to their emailing members but they are hellbent on continuing on the same path they were on before .
Can you give us a link please wiseowl? I’d be interested to check it out. Did he mention ‘carbon emissions’, transgenders and giving our country to the Maoris as I predicted?
Oh I found a link on Newsscrub….. just meaningless waffle and platitudes. Total waste of time and space.
I am not your wrong but I would say that it is in Nationals best interest to.wait until Peter’s and Ardern release there detail from there deal with NZ First when becoming the Government and that looks like a bitch fight about to happen.
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2020/02/17/1034496/immigration-to-carry-on
I know National have been no better than Labour on this subject but they need to find out what Winston is promising before they release theres.
And no reply from Cindy , and blow arse Robertson said its bullshit , oh well , Bridges must have nailed it then
His God or Government is not so great for him.
….. nearly 90-year-old homeless man in Trelleborg. The man, Rolf Hansson, doesn’t receive any housing assistance from the municipal social services, and as a result is forced to eat, sleep and live in his car.
…… living his last days as a homeless person in Sweden since the municipality refuses to help him with a home or nursing home”,
….. urged his readers to “put pressure” on those responsible so that Rolf does not have to live in a parking lot.
……
According to the municipality, there is no place for Rolf in a nursing home, even though he is almost 90 years old.
…… visited the municipality office, the staff said that it is his own responsibility to find a place to live and that they couldn’t help in any way.
……
Within just one day, Lamotte’s film got over 1,500,000 views on Facebook.
The leader of the Sweden Democrats’ opposition council in Trelleborg, Helmuth Petersén, says that the party immediately after hearing about the case sent out people to find the elderly homeless man.
“He’s been found now, I got a call just five minutes ago that he’s on his way to a hotel where we will install him.
We will provide food and shelter until the municipality takes its responsibility”, Petersén says.
The SD politician says he is convinced that Rolf would have received help immediately if he had had “another surname”.
“It’s obviously the case that if you have a different last name, you get help earlier. He has a regular surname and then you may not get the help you are entitled to,” he concludes.

“Our God is greater”, and works very well in Sweden // 🙁
Is it the intention that euthanasia could be practiced to make room for other followers of allah. // 🙁
He probably fought in a war too.
He’s old enough to have been in both world wars!
Sweden.
Generally neutral or at least officially ‘non belligerent’
Plus at 88 now he would have been 13 in 1945.
Sweden was not involved in Korea, Malaya or Vietnam.
So, most likely not.
Is anybody aware of proposed reforms or the electricity market?
Consumers fear proposed new electricity market could drive up cost of power bills
A new survey shows many New Zealand consumers are not on board with the Government’s proposed reforms for the electricity market.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/consumers-fear-proposed-new-electricity-market-could-drive-up-cost?auto=6132996600001
Yep, electricity is going to skyrocket in price.! More stuff in houses and a shitload of cars is Ma Woods plan to use electricity and not build more power stations! Brown outs coming to your house soon!
Just had an e mail from TrustPower telling me about the new prices from April 1st. Imagine my shock when I noted that they are all going up!
Need to get Max Bradford involved. He’s great on electricity reform. //
They were going to do something dumb with people paying on time (the discount was unfair to those that didn’t pay ontime, apparently) and shopping aroubd (apparently gettimg a better deal isn’t allowed under Labour either).
Basic Labour stuff up, again.
Universities are missing out on $millions due to coronavirus. Their solution is to call for an exemption to let in potentially infected students.
Universities want Chinese students exempted from coronavirus travel ban
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/02/universities-want-chinese-students-exempted-from-coronavirus-travel-ban.html
Only someone suffering from a special kind of stupidity could come up with an idea like that. What kind of people are running our universities and unfortunately our country until September?
They are frightened that they will need to take a pay cut or get layed off!
It just boggles the mind doesn’t it?
They can be sent their books, lectures can be via computer, how hard is it to be done by correspondence for a wee while.
By wee while I take it you mean almost indefinitely. This is a game changer and I think it is safe to say things will not be the same again for a couple of generations. For my kids sake I rather hope I am wrong but taken in conjunction with climate change – the Grand Solar Minimum – I don’t think I am.
Thats because China is paying western univesistes millions to tow the China line.
Universities have gone so woke they’re stupid now.
“Flippin Nora”, a white knuckle ride landing at Heathrow
Storm Ciara: Dramatic plane landings caught on camera in UK
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/travel/2020/02/storm-ciara-dramatic-plane-landings-caught-on-camera-in-uk.html
A prop plane looked like it just about landed on the nose wheel.
Air NZ plane last one on the clip, got a bit sideways. You would think after flying into Wellys, they would be us to a bit of wind!
These plane spotters should come over to Wellington during the winter. They would see that sort of landing, quite often.
Many years ago I was in a twin engine Cessna ( as one of about 6 passengers) landing in weather like that at Wellington. The pilot was a young 18 or 19 year old girl. She flew in over the end of the run way quite a bit higher than normal and then tipped the nose sharply down towards the runway. Ended up with a perfect landing —she was obviously really well trained.
Coalition landmine awaits in Residency range call
Labour and NZ First are considering whether to abandon a 20 year practice of limiting of total residency approvals at between 37,000 and 47,000 a year.

https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2020/02/17/1034496/immigration-to-carry-on
NZ First makes Immigration one of its leading promises at most Elections only to let the voter down most times so this bill could end up as a cat fight between Labour the Greens and NZ First.
Yep, that’ll be a vote catcha!
Pork barrel politics!
John Armstrong’s opinion: Jacinda Ardern must stop ‘displaying all the backbone of a spineless jellyfish’ and remind Winston Peters who’s boss
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/john-armstrong-ardern-must-grow-backbone-and-remind-peters-whos-boss?auto=6132364039001
Rarely has the current prime minister looked quite so feeble as was evident during yet another turbulent week for her pockmarked, patchwork administration.
It was another week which witnessed Peters at his frustrating, selfish, perfidious and domineering worst.
In a perfect world, it would have been a week which ended with him having been relieved of the title of Deputy Prime Minister, if only temporarily.
This mornings interview of Cindy by Duncan Garner but it does not include the interview where he questioned her responsibility as leader on Wynstone Peters photographic saga.

She wants to tag on to aust, but that plane will be going to Christmas island!
Is she going to leave them there, or send her private jet to bring them back!
Once again, dollar down and a dollar too bloody late!

Actually, there needs to be a list of those whose judgement is so lacking they’d accept an invitation to celebrate another year on earth of the depraved Duke of York.
Free booze. Lots of schmoozing.
And plenty of under-age girlies?
Plenty of entertainment, weather watching or been the main act!
My invite must have got lost in the post.
Looks like Aus are kindly going to bring our 11 cruise ship passengers back from Japan. Good on them. After the stick Ardern’s given them, they could be forgiven for telling us to get stuffed.
They are going to Christmas island. Betcha!

Do you think they would have shown that photo if the suspect was brown, or ran with that headline?
This is an excellent read. All MPs and bureaucrats need to read it as well, although I would only expect a small percentage to understand and agree with the message.
https://breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2020/02/matt-ridley-britain-needs-to-rediscover.html#more
Excellent read indeed. But he includes a warning not to allow government to interfere with their expectations on what and what will not be successful. Cue the push by our current COL for alternative green technologies.
…”but his focus is on how to use the government to boost innovation, and that way lies danger. Except when setting standards, government has a habit of picking technologies it thinks we should want, rather than the ones we actually do want. As Oxford’s Professor Dieter Helm has put it with respect to energy policy, governments love picking winners, but losers are good at picking governments”.
For those who haven’t – check out ACT’s website.
Breath of fresh air.
Certainly different than the stink given off by Comrade Stinkys COL!
Man that’s starting to see to high heaven!
I got a copy of their weekly “Free Press” this morning. Agree Kea that it is breath of fresh air.
What impresses me about them is that must only have a relatively small team and not only have better thinking but also they get their message out better than the others, especially if you are not on Facebook like me.
Same here. I’m not on social media. And rarely comment on blogs aside from YSB
You’re not allowed on any other blogs! 🙂
Bwahahahahahaha
Smart arse 🤣
The third time in under a year that the Spinoff a left leading chair Leader of the Left have called our Prime Minister to task on her ability as a Leader.
Damage control : Jacinda Ardern faces torrent of Winston related questions. Across the PM’s weekly Monday morning broadcast interviews from four different media sites there was one overwhelming theme : The behaviour of NZ First and Winston Peters, who also happens to be Deputy PM.
https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/17-02-2020/damage-control-jacinda-ardern-faces-torrent-of-winston-related-questions/?amp
This is the third scenario of the Prime Minister passing the buck showing how weak and ineffective she is at doing the job. You can look back at the sexual deviate out her office and the lies that were told, then we had Ihumatoa where Maori activists have a occupation of land under dispute that really is a land grab curious of the Prime Minister for her inept handling of the situation and now the behaviour of her Coalition partner. Well there are just three instances that the Prime Minister need to stand up and address the problems have found how far and out of her depth she really is for the pay she has Paid to make decisions no matter how hard they are to address.
For goodness sake.

After reading that Bomber Bradbury has gone up in my estimation. Well done for having an alternative opinion but keeping it in perspective Bomber. That is all anyone asks. At least you can have a decent discussion with someone who doesn’t just explode opinion-wise even if they have opposing political views to you. 👏👏👏
Hasn’t Chloe called him boomer Bradbury yet?
But he is an e-bike salesman.

From Rachael’s link:
……” He is in New Zealand as a guest of Family First.”……
Which says it all. Any mate of Bob McCoskrie is insane by association.
Good grief, I nearly choked on my bong reading that crap! 😂😉
What happened to the medical marijuana?
Lol, good question.
Well I would prefer that there is more than the government’s narrative put to the voters. When do the helicopters go cropping? Be the last big cash crop before the price falls out the arse lol. I don’t think drug growers will vote for it, there will be less money in it if legal. No?
I understand the gangs aren’t keen on legalisation, but I’m not sure how many of them vote. The choppers aren’t usually out until around this time but they were out a few weeks ago in some areas as they have realised a lot of growers are growing autoflowers now, which can flower much earlier.
There are so many hemp growers now in operation that it won’t be possible to grow marijuana outdoors in many areas in the future due to cross-pollination. So times will be a-changing, regardless of the referendum result.
Totally agree. You only need one male a kilometre upwind & it’s all over rover.
Not to worry. The rambos of the NZ Police have ensured that clandestine growing under lights in wardrobes will continue to be the favoured method of cultivation for the foreseeable future whatever the outcome of the referendum.
I don’t smoke enough nowadays for it to personally bother me one way or the other & in any case I have good connections. I favour the law change because it is going to get up the noses of more petty minded, know-all, Godbothering, conservative arseholes than anything else that has happened during my long & enjoyable life. 🙂
I just want to be able to grow a couple of plants and legally partake in the privacy of my own home. I don’t understand why so many people wish to deprive me of this.
This is easy to explain.
Just as weed makes you feel good, inflicting control and misery on others makes authoritarians feel good.
Would the cops really bother with you now? Isn’t it just that those such as yourself are caught up in the same legislation as big growers?
I can’t even grow tomatoes so world domination is not for me.
Nasska:- What is an 0 going for up your way if it’s not too intrusive ole chap ?
Down our way an 0 is going for $300 to 350 still about the same it was 25 years ago which was big coin back then for the stoners !~
Lol 😅
Last reports I heard stigie was $350/$400 for indoors. But that’s real good stuff.
I love visiting the West Coast of the South Island but there’s fuck all to do on wet days. As an antidote to caravan fever I’ve been going through https://westcoast.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/838 to give an historical perspective to the places we’ve visited. This item looked interesting:
……”Johnny Devlin was a Rock n Roll singer back in the 1950s.
At that time he was very popular and I attended one of his shows in the Regent Theatre in Greymouth. As he left the theatre by the stage door in Herbert St the swam of girls chased him towards the front of the Regent tearing his shirt from his back. It was amazing just how little resistance the stitching of his shirt took to tear to bits.”…….
As I still have my shirt it’s probably fair to say that things have quietened down a little over the past few decades. 🙂
Yeah well you insisted on giving up boozing. 👍
The missus will be pleased about that no doubt.
A sad day for drug dealers, bogans and police. Holden is no more.
……”Holden is no more”……
The best thing that GM have ever done for the motoring public. With the possible exceptions of the EJ & the HR they would be the biggest shitboxes ever to have littered the sides of NZ roads.
I guess they will now go with the Camero like Ford did with the Mustang !~
So you are not including the Ford Consul, Humber 80, Trekka, Hillman Hunter!!
Im trying to work out what was the most reliable in those pieces of shit howitis…?
Probably the Consul ?
I had a Mini & a Cortina stigie but the first real car I owned was a 63 Valiant. I bought it off the boss’s brother in 68 & it went like fuck. I had to recon the motor once but we were still using it to tow the girls’ horse float fifteen years later.
We had no idea what proper cars were until jap imports arrived.
The Japanese make the best cars in the world by a considerable margin.
Would have to agree there Kea, but i remember the motors in the Anglia 105e the 315 Consul Classic right through the Escort range until the Jap Laser’s were some of the best and reliable motors Ford of England made.
Valiants were great. Went like buggery and great for towing big boats. My yatch was a ton on the trailer and towed it lots of places.
One of the best cars was the Mazda RX7
Man that could leave the slow behind.
Naught wrong with the Hillman Hunter.
Out of all of the Pommie garbage that was dumped in NZ the Rootes Group line up was probably the best. Their only real disaster was the Hillman Imp.
But I’m sure you recall V2, that the Hunter was up against the Datsun 180B & the Toyota Corona. The little Corolla was unbeatable for reliability.
When it comes to manufactured goods you only have to remember one thing……made in the UK = shit.
Ford…….Fix or repair daily
If the electrics dont say – Made in Japan, they are broken.

Yeah, mother had an IMP. Wasn’t to bad to drive as I recall.
My Dad had a couple of Plymouths. The second one was aV* with push button gears. That could hall ass over the Rimutaka’s with a big trailer full of manuka on behind.
Had a Hillman Super minx. Last lot out before they went to the hunter. 1725 motor and that was a classy car. Did over the ton on the desert rd. Still the odd one around here.
He will becme an alcoholic instead?

Imagine the same factual situation but the guy was an Abo.
As usual the NZ news is woefully behind the times and reporting what amounts, essentially, to fake news. The guy has NOT been fired:

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/02/time-for-the-right-to-silence-to-be-abolished-says-children-s-commissioner.html
……”The Children’s Commissioner is calling for the abolishment of a law which allows defendants to stay silent “…..
However noble the reason, the Children’s Commissioner is a wanker & an advocate for a police state.
Abolishing the Right to Silence is a totalitarian’s wet dream.
But but THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
Whenever you hear this be aware that person has another agenda. It’s an appeal to emotion and a dishonest attempt to shame opposition in to silence.
This is not about the children. Its about Maori bashing peoples heads in.
They can throw them in the can as accessories to.
Are they going to blame minors in the household?

They should just let them all out or share their slushy machines.

Does the state pay rates yet?
only for maori land in Northland that self-named “the first citizen” Shane approves.
So the ratepayers pay for all the services, roads, buses, water, sewage, etc for all the bennies?
As it happened: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s post-Cabinet press conference

What did she say? Not sitting thru 27min of her dribble!
Highlights would be nice!
She did mention the BAAAAABBBBBYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to hear that Tova was asking pointed questions, not that one could hear them, but going on the PM’s response.
Comrade not taking questions from Tova!
I thought I had added a paragraph but it was not there when I came back. Perhaps I forgot to save it?
Socialist Cindy said she has not spoken to Wynstone about his involvement in ‘photo gate’ believing it has nothing to do with her or the Caucus. She said she does not like political blogs as referenced in this “believing they do not add anything to NZ or NZ politics”.
Thanks luv!
That’s ok we don’t like lying incomptent overpaid prime ministers either.
OK, now we know why the police helicopter is been deployed to CC!
Has nothing at all to do with crims down south.
It’s not as though the crims in Ak are behaving themselves or less crime.
They could have sent it to keep an eye on the crims in Tauranga or Hastings. But oh, no!
It’s purely off down south to CC to protect Comrade Stinky Cindy on her promotional tour of the city’s mosques and photo shoots, with the family in tow. Especially the baby, with matching tea towels to mum!
Maybe Jethro could have one to wear, as a pinny. My he has been quiet lately, hasn’t he!
What’s the bet as soon as she leaves, so does the helicopter!
Will Comrade Stinky Cindy leave the assistant PM behind do you think?
Are the police expecting another massacre, do you think?
Can’t have him rain on her parade! Besides with the two of them together, the stink would be to much,
I do hope the local congregation are told to wash or it will be ripe in there!
Thanks, I did wonder what the real reason was. More lies from the police.
Will the armoured vehicles and hit squads be going down too?
Oh you are a silly man!
Of course they will be there. After all there is no gang warfare problem in the north island!
Gee they must be worried about that white supremacist they just had to let out.
From approx 12 mins Ardern discusses Wynstone and reiterates she has no interest in stepping into photogate saying she has not discussed it directly with Wystone Peters. Socialist Cindy says she does not like political blogs believing “they don’t add anything”.

Blogs don’t add anything to her stage managed photo shoots and propaganda pieces. Which is why I read them.
Did it come as a surprise that it expired in December? They were doing bugger all else.

Dancing With the Devil: China Remaking Bible So It’s Compatible With Socialism
China sometimes calls itself the Middle Kingdom, but it’s paving a way to the netherworld with a new effort: rewriting the Bible to make it compatible with socialism. Moreover, it’s doing the same with the Koran.
In fact, Beijing is instituting new religious rules, set to take effect February 1, that may essentially make the state the church.
https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/item/34749-dancing-with-the-devil-china-remaking-bible-so-it-s-compatible-with-socialism
Powerful Jewish groups are also demanding the bible be rewritten to cast jews in a better way. Along with all media globally.
But you’re probably cool with that.
What a total idiot
Driver guilty of manslaughter after killing motorist at 180kmh
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/119570129/driver-guilty-of-manslaughter-after-killing-motorist-at-180kmh
Why dont cops who “accidentally” murder someone in cold blood not get charged with manslaughter?
And what’s happening about the unarmed non threatening man gunned down up North a few weeks back?
Filthy corrupt scum. I used to like the police. Known many cops personally. Now I truly loathe the NZ Police. There are a few good ones, but they are either miserable or get out.
How would you feel about a joooooish policeman?
No worries. I work with a few Jews. The vast majority of jews are no part of what I talk about.
Show us your Grant.

Certainly not the Twit Twyford. He’s been promoted beyond his skills!
Talking of Uncle Joe….Stalin that is not Biden. I just came across this, the most badass letter in history from Tito to Stalin:
Stalin,
Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them, one with a bomb and another with a rifle. If you don’t stop sending killers, I’ll send one to Moscow. And I won’t have to send another.

Tito was the best of the commie dictators. People over that way all seem to speak well of him to this day.
What is reverse exorcism?
It’s when the devil tells the priest to leave the body of a child.
A couple of weeks before Brenton Tarrant burst onto the scene, an evil bastard by the name of John Podesta was in NZ.
He is the founder of The Center for American Progress
The Center for American Progress (CAP) is a liberal Washington, D.C.-based think tank with strong ties to the Democratic Party establishment created in 2003 as the left-of-center alternative to the right-leaning Heritage Foundation. CAP was founded by John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, Counselor to the President in the Obama White House, and chair of former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential campaign.
Note the usual sinister crew involved.

On November 16, 2015 he began his plan for our future. A conference to set the agenda. The UN agenda.
Sponsored by Food Chain Reaction. ‘A global food security game’
https://foodchainreaction.org/
This is the blueprint and the playbook we are being forced to believe as true.
The scenario he sets out in this ‘game’ predicted for 2020 is… well……you decide.
https://foodchainreaction.org/index.php/2015/11/16/serious-cooperation-on-issues-like-food-security-climate-change-and-environmental-preservation-serves-all-of-our-interests/
Does it feel like a game to you?
Brenton is a hardline socialist which is unforgivable. But at least he is honest about it, unlike his closest socialist allies like Ardern.
I wonder what the Muslim community would think if they got to read his manifesto and learn his views are identical to Ardern’s?
Remember this crap?

Jacinda Ardern: I didn’t want to work for Tony Blair
“I remember my dad calling me and saying, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be able to find another job’ – because he could hear how upset I was. And I remember saying in this broken voice, ‘It’s not about my job. What about all the people who’ll have to pay market rents in their state houses?'”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/96123508/jacinda-ardern-i-didnt-want-to-work-for-tony-blair
I think these terms of reference are brilliant and should nicely capture NZ First donors as well, hard for the SFO not to I imagine.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/409742/not-one-but-two-100k-donations-to-national-in-court
I think I got that. It will be interesting to see when it all goes through the court system and is finally reported.
Any of you who also read Kiwiblog will notice one of my posts was deleted by the Mods. It was in response to the “Post Ardern ignoring the Cabinet Manual” and specifically states “So Ardern is either lying about the Cabinet Manual…”. So I innocently asked
“Is it now Ok to Call Jacinda Arderne a Liar?”
The response was [Deleted – Mod]
LOL
Jacinda doesn’t lie. Lies are calculated distortions that are designed to mislead and decieve. She is too fucking stupid to think that logically and basically just bobs her head, breathes out and words or umms or fuck knows what just spews from her….
Hopefully this sage will sink her further…
Face it Farrar is a piece of shit.
The SLGs new go to words are now “ultimately” and “again”. So fucking boring !~
There is still whinging about the moderation but they refuse to leave for the freedom of speech on YSB. 🙄
OMG
No wonder they want to come to NZ.

Jacinda Ardern supporting Winston Peters’ ‘unethical behaviour’ – Paula Bennett
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/02/jacinda-ardern-supporting-winston-peters-unethical-behaviour-paula-bennett.html
Paula Bennett is accusing Winston Peters of dirty politics, saying he should be sacked as Deputy Prime Minister.
It follows the covert filming and photos taken of journalists as they met with a former NZ First president.
And the Prime Minister wants nothing to do with any of it.
Thank goodness they had life jackets on.
