Someone’s beaten you to it. Apparently it’s not an uncommon urge. However, in his defence, I find him one of the least odious of the Greens. He’s on the greener side of the watermelon. I still think he’s nuts.
That’s only because he has no nuts!
MIA, He is all but invisible
you say
” I find him one of the least odious ”
but
A rabid dog is a rabid dog.
It might have its good days but it is still a rabid dog.
In the company of Gaga golriz, Material Turei, and Extreme-rabid Davidson he just looks mild.
Do not be fooled.
You would not want that diseased pup in your house.
What a difference 10 days can make, back then a drop of a thousand on the US markets was armegedon now its “if we are lucky it’ll only be around a thousand down today” .
I’m extremely happy that we consolidated all our investments about 10 months ago and put it mid term bank deposits, a very low 2.5 % but “if we are lucky” we’ll still own it after this Chinese designed balls up plays out to the end.
PS, Avoid the Broiled bats wing broth and the rats testicals smoothie even if it does come with free Coronavirus inoculation,LOL.
Wish you’d warned me about the smoothie a couple of hours ago.
Careful though. Last time there was a global financial crisis, the banks were not immune either.
“…Annnnnd, it’s gone.”

Funny That
Last year was a terrible year for China. Hong Kong democracy protesters led the news cycle for months – huge embarrassment to the Chinese government. Plus Trump ate their lunch over trade – flatlining their economy.
They must have wondered what they could do that could, do to:
A. Take the Hong Kong protesters off the news
And
B. Crash the US economy to revenge what Trump did to them
Boom! Corona virus explodes in China!
Mission accomplished!
D P , yes their economy was about to implode so they came up with this scheme,Its just what filthy communist dictatorships do , have you seen the propaganda with all the workers in Wuhan removing their masks and getting back to work? my guess would be they had soldiers holding AKs encouraging them to do so.
The scumbag XI has been outed for the ex pig farmer he is ,huge pictures of him all over the Chinese landscape,spew inducing POS he is.
The will be a good meeting at the Agora Cafe in Hamilton this morning at 10:15.
The guest speaker is Alfred Ngaro, National List MP based in Te Atatu and National’s Spokesperson for Children, Community & Voluntary Sector, Disability Issues and Pacific Peoples.
I would think late term abortions will be discussed. This will be the only delivery of this evil communist PTPM.
Kiwi Vietnam War vets reunite after nearly 50 years
A very special reunion happened this week between two veterans who fought alongside each other in Vietnam.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/kiwi-vietnam-war-vets-reunite-after-nearly-50-years?auto=6140730703001
“I’m gonna be guessing what Murphy looks like, 47 years older than when I last saw him,” Mullane told Seven Sharp before the reunion.
Then the big moment came, with Mullane remembering how his young signaller friend “had my back the whole time” during the war.
After Vietnam, Mullane continued with the military, moving up the ranks.
When Murphy finished his tour he retreated into Fiordland bush, hunting to survive.
This week the pair travelled to Taupo to catch up with other surviving members of their company, Victor 6.
NZ lawyer Andrew Hooker dies in motorcycle crash in Australia
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/120238148/nz-lawyer-andrew-hooker-dies-in-motorcycle-crash-in-australia
A top New Zealand lawyer has died in a motorcycle crash while testing out his new Harley Davidson in Australia.
Hamilton-born Andrew Hooker, 55, a “preeminent” civil and insurance litigator, who was involved in bank fee lawsuits and a test case against the Earthquake Commission (EQC), died in New South Wales on Wednesday afternoon.
New South Wales Police believed the motorcycle travelled under a closed boom gate and collided with a section of the raised bridge.
She said he brought class action against banks over penalty fees and legal action against EQC on behalf of owners of on-sold homes with botched repairs in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes.
I knew Andrew.
A really good guy who will be missed.
RIP
Condolences. Sounds like he was beginning to enjoy life after working hard all his life.
I recognised his face from news items. He always talked sense.

Trump: Coronavirus is a world problem and we need separation
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure…. Benjamin Franklin
Not a peep from the wowsers about Russia closing its borders in January. No one death in that huge country yet.
https://summit.news/2020/03/12/russia-has-recorded-zero-coronavirus-deaths/
Editor, I’ve no time for Putin at all but was astonished to read a while back that Russian debt stands at $00.00 that is amazing in 2020 and certainly stands that country in good stead for a huge international comeback…
Ireland has gone into shutdown,
The Republic of Ireland
It has also been announced that the Republic of Ireland will close all schools, universities and childcare facilities as of Friday (local time) to combat the spread of the virus.
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar announced the measures on Thursday (local time), the closures also applying to museums, cultural institutions and tourist attractions.
France
In a televised address, President Emmanuel Macron announced all schools and universities will be closed from Monday “until further notice”. People over the age of 70, who are more likely to die from COVID-19 once infected, are urged to remain at home.
Spain
Universities and schools will also be closed across a number of Spain’s regional governments, including in Catalonia, the Basque Country, Valencia and the Canary Islands. Madrid and La Rioja implemented the same precaution earlier this week.
Around the world
In the Middle East, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also declared that schools and universities will be closed as a precautionary measure.
Aussie starting to get to grips with it .
Pacifica cancelled but as of yet the Mosque event is still on.
Even Trump has cancelled his touring and rallies.
Now thats serious.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-europe-shuts-down.html?fbclid=IwAR3E4Ty1ODdiI1cKMCzWUKky1xxcLUn5ymxPS4lGqi7hm44MP_tFd2bHFMU
And Comrade Cindy nods her head!
Ardern will not cancel the Mosque event as she wants to go on the world stage wearing her headscarf and putting her best serious face. She has been practicing this for days.
She is already giving media interviews after her staff prepared her speech notes.
While whole countries are in lock down, the media are attacking Trump for a few travel restrictions…. because he didn’t ask first.
The left are scum.
EU eat shit!
If Trump came up with a cure for COVID 19 tonight then tomorrow the media would slam him for ‘something’ in relation to it.
The media are lying scum and a waste of time for information.
Their opinions are even worse.
…and it is mostly opinion, not facts.
I am amazed and disappointed that there are so many ignorant people in NZ who suck up the media lies then spout it out as if these are facts.
I don’t follow rugby and don’t care much for it. I have no opinion on who should be the 1st Five or kicker or flanker. I simply do not know about it. Therefore I will not impose my ignorance of others in this regard.
I wish they would admit their ignorance over politics and STFU.
Minister, have you ever been in a moshpit?
Health Minister David Clark perplexed as MP asks if he’s ever been in a moshpit
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/03/health-minister-david-clark-perplexed-as-mp-asks-if-he-s-ever-been-in-a-moshpit.html
Woodhouse then doubled down, asking the Health Minister what he knows about moshpits and whether he’s “seen reports that moshpits are hot, sweaty, close contact situations that can last for hours and go all night”.
A Northland man who attended the Tool concert has confirmed he is sick and in self-isolation, and according to Stuff, he and his partner are awaiting results to see if they have COVID-19.
OMG how awful. Imagine being in quarantine with a body that has succumbed to Covid-19 and the funeral home won’t come.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/120243217/coronavirus-death-toll-in-italy-surpasses-1000

Coronavirus: Europe shuts down
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/03/coronavirus-europe-shuts-down.html
More countries have announced stringent measures to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, with France closing all schools and demanding the elderly to stay at home.

Government unveils $10 million drought relief package
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/rural/2020/03/government-unveils-10-million-drought-relief-package.html
Did sonone point out to the SLG that she gave the same amount to 2 villages in Fiji, a country that has a standing army and as such shouldnt qualify for any NZ taxpayer largesse or relief?
Self Isolation is quite a clever move from the Government. It means that while people actually do have Covid-19, the official numbers stay at 5. The real number is probably at 50 thousand.
If Socialist Cindy bobs her head any faster it may just fall off. Is she not coping with the pressure of a real crisis.
Coronavirus: After Donald Trump’s ban, Jacinda Ardern predicts more restrictions for NZ
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/120233803/coronavirus-after-trumps-ban-jacinda-ardern-predicts-more-restrictions-for-nz
Jacinda’s motto – always bolt the door after the horse has bolted.
Should have bolted the door on horse face in 2017.
Too late now, for sure.
She just waits to see what Donald Trump does and enacts a milder version of it. Dumb bint is vacuous and about as transparent as a pane of glass.
Ardern:
We’re definitely going to do something about covid-19!
Maybe next week.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12316342
This is interesting. The exponential growth of a virus. Cindy should watch, even she could understand the graph.

Donald Trump’s European travel ban has secured his re-election, Judith Collins says
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/03/donald-trump-s-european-travel-ban-has-secured-his-re-election-judith-collins-says.html
But National’s Collins said Trump’s decision is probably “the right thing for his people and he has certainly done the right thing for himself”.
“He has just secured himself his re-election if there was any doubt,” she told The AM Show.
“The Americans want their borders protected and I know that people who travel from Europe to the US will be all upset, but most Americans don’t do that, most Americans are just trying to get along with their lives.”
A good article by James Delingpole on Trump’s decision
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/03/12/delingpole-trump-was-right-to-shut-the-gates-on-plague-pit-europe/
Note the tweet by David Vance explaining how the Northern Italians sold their leather goods and textile factories to the Chinese and they filled them with Chinese workers from the Wuhan region –there have been direct flights from Wuhan to Northern Italy !!
How lovely to hear that this person is “doing very well” out of jail. The 5 year old he raped must be just about approaching puberty, I wonder how well she’s doing?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/120234535/trangi-child-rapist-doing-very-well-in-life-outside-of-jail
You must wonder how realistic the injunction for him not to possess, use or consume alcohol is.
I’m a life-long teetotaller, but there’s hardly any social occasion I go to where alcohol is not on offer.
That is so terrible, makes me feel sick.
Don’t give a fuck if he is doing well. After what he did, he should have been lynched, or castrated.
“Has a girlfriend”. I am sure she will be a classy lass.
I often wonder why there isn’t more cummupnace for these types in NZ.
I mean, he is out from jail after a fairly short time. Only 24 years of age. The little girl would be about 14.
Wouldn’t a relative track him down, with some length of rubber hose, zip ties, and a hack saw and spend an evening together?
If the little girl was my family member I would be wanting to employ gang members to savage his sphincter while he was inside, and would seriously think about how he might ‘disappear’ once on the outside.
F N D, In the U S he’d have got 50 years with no parole possible.
It seems rape of a grown person gets you 20 ,rape of a child will probably get you up to 50, seems weird but thats how it is .
Why would any woman be in a relationship with a pedophile? It is beyond me how some women are
Coronavirus spreading in the UK, preparing for a major epidemic
https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-51632801
There seems to be a severe bout of censorship going on over on KB most of it seems pointless.
I heard on the News late yesterday afternoon that our financial wizz Robertson is going to Aussie to meet Govt. and industry leaders to discuss the Coronavirus situation etc. He was quoted saying the Aussies are doing and planning to do much the same as NZ.
The next item on the News was Aussie announcement of a big stimulus package !!
Robertson clearly thinks we are all stupid, idiots. Not so, but I know one when I see / hear one and he was quoted on the News yesterday.

Auckland’s Pasifika Festival has been cancelled to reduce the risk posed by the spread of coronavirus.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/aucklands-pasifika-festival-cancelled-due-coronavirus-fears
Auckland Council confirmed this morning that the event had been cancelled after Auckland Mayor Phil Goff met with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern yesterday, and again this morning.
The advice from both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as well as the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment was to cancel the event.
Comrade Cindy the bobblehead is already in CHCH, she knew last night that the Pacifica was canned!
Police say that some of them maybe armed!
Bullshit the only not armed will be the cadet parking the cars!
Why do you think the event was changed to inside. GUNS, Is why!
For those that go, check the upper floors for police snipers. Bet there will be one in each corner!
Outside as well on high buildings.
Has there really been a threat?
Yes of course, silly! There’s the threat her photo op will get cancelled before she gets to use her frowny face on us all again. Shes been practicing it in a puddle all week.

Coronavirus: Disneyland closes its doors due to pandemic
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/travel/2020/03/coronavirus-disneyland-closes-its-doors-due-to-pandemic.html
It’s only the fourth time in history that Disneyland in Anaheim, California, has fully suspended operations. The other instances were the September 11 attacks, the morning after JFK’s assassination and the Northridge earthquake.
Seems like Iran has been lying…
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/irans-coronavirus-problem-lot-worse-it-seems/607663/
When they put it that way, yeah, what are the odds.
Does not compute. Something is wrong.
We simply cannot make assumptions from ‘official’ figures, make half-arsed keyboard prophecies, or really know what this means in a week, or a month or a year from now.
Seems even more futile than climate prediction models.
I take this away from the article, in the context of China being successful in reducing active cases – {especially for note by loud mouthed retards who in their deluded self superiority call other people retards):
“When the final history of the coronavirus epidemic of 2020 is written, it may go something like this: The disease started in China, but it became finally and irrevocably uncontained in Iran. Knowing that the Iranian number is much higher than currently disclosed tells the rest of the world that the epidemic is even further along than official statistics indicate.”
I heard weeks ago about that evidence was coming out of graves being dug for 10,000 capacity.
I didn’t pay much attention. There are so many facts and far to many opinions, and rumour, about cov-19
But just saw this: (!)
“At the Behesht-e Masoumeh complex in Qom, about 80 miles south of Tehran, the excavation of a new section of the graveyard began as early as Feb. 21, satellite images show, and then rapidly expanded as the virus spread. By the end of the month, two large trenches – their lengths totaling 100 yards – were visible at the site from space.”
https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/irans-coronavirus-burial-pits-are-so-vast-theyre-visible-from-space/
“In the following video, shared by the BBC’s Persian service March 3, the narrator describes the scene at Behesht-e Masoumeh cemetery as men carry a casket toward a trench with multiple graves. Qom, like other parts of Iran, is grappling with the coronavirus outbreak that has sickened thousands of people and overwhelmed the public health infrastructure.
“This is the section for coronavirus victims,” the narrator says, as the camera pans across a small portion of the trench, showing mounds of dirt and small, simple markers. People wearing blue protective suits are seen standing nearby. “More than 80 [people] have been buried in this section so far, and they say {nationality} only 34 deaths,” he says, citing the official death toll on Feb. 28.”
The question is how many will a grave hold?

Further gun law changes stall as mosque attacks anniversary nears
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/03/further-gun-law-changes-stall-as-mosque-attacks-anniversary-nears.html
National Party police spokesperson Brett Hudson agreed, taking aim in Parliament at Nash.
“It’s actually quite rich that we have a minister leading a Bill that is focused almost entirely on greater cost, regulation and rules on people who already follow the law,” he said.
“He’s prioritising that ahead of things like firearms prohibition order that would actually do something.
“Give police a genuine additional tool to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, and particularly gang member criminals.”
The debate was fiery during the second reading of the Bill, with Nash infuriated at heckles from Hudson saying the police were not tackling gangs with guns.
Great news. According to official figures the number of ACTIVE CASES of Covid-19 is slightly less than a month ago.
Note to imbeciles: detract recovered cases from the total. And punch yourself in the head retard.
It’s just the flu goys
Kea you’re doing great work on behalf of Tel Aviv, keep it up!
Do you you think you are the only person who understand the difference between ‘Total’ cases, Active and Recovered?
Last time you pointed out a dip in the growth of new cases compared to mid-Feb, it was still not entirely telling, because the new cases are being taken over by new cases outside of China – the virus is getting amongst many more new populations. This is the worst possible outcome.
So yeah, China might be doing well now. Maybe they have gotten past the worst.
But there is a reason places like he US and Italy and northern Europeans are moving to close borders. They are not worrying about China anymore, and 50,000 recovered Chinese doesn’t make any difference.
Aside from insulting readers, your presumption (and insecurity?) about people having different opinions – it is hard to know what barrow you are pushing.
On one extreme not long ago you were asserting that Cov-19 was widespread in NZ, already here.
50-70% of us can be expected to get it, says you. {I can’t remember the last time I got a flu actually.}
So, aside from less than sage predictions with puerile insults directed at a readership who seem much more balanced and probably smarter than you, why the fuck are you bothering at all and why do you pretend to know what it all means when you can’t possible have all the facts?
Because nobody has all the facts. They don’t exist.
“50-70% of us can be expected to get it, says you.”
Says numerous experts now. So what you meant to say is – Kea was right weeks ago. Experts agree with Kea. ( not with imbeciles)
Your hysterics dont change the fact there are less cases now than a month ago.
70,000 recovered and that figure is climbing faster than new cases are rising. You stupid boy.
No I dont claim to have all the facts. But all my predictions have been 100% accurate. In spite of you lying to the contrary. Not knowing all the facts does not clear the way for hysterical drivel from low life imbecile bottom feeders to promote insanity. Sort your head out. Its pathetic.
Your hysterics dont change the fact there are less cases now than a month ago.
Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
Always accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty of.
Yawn. Grow a brain and look at the figures.
Yawn. Grow an extra brain and show me the figures.
Then you will attack the source. Go and find your own source. They all agree.
I agree with you for the most part. There’s a lot of hysteria around, and a lot of it is due to MSM having a dearth of interest stories. Thats why we have Greta and all the bullshit eceleb stories on every newsfotainment channel out there. In saying that, this is the first time a lot of people have experienced anything like this in their lives. They don’t know how to react. Many New Zealanders who were around in the 70’s went through similar when the dollar was devalued, but you need to go back to WW2 to even compare to the sort of rationing and restriction of essential movemnet that we’re currently seeing. You have to cut the imbeciles a break bird brain. They’re shitting their collective undies.
True. But they need a poke 🤪
The left are breathlessly telling us the world economy has slumped because Trump. Not Covid-19.
They also attacked China for their lockdown, but celebrated Italy doing the same thing. Only difference is China’s worked.
China is now telling us the USA military took the virus to wuhan. They really are fucking joke these people.
The left will do anything to establish the chosen degenerate child sniffer and feeler Biden ahead of Trump.
Why anyone bothers to feel mild surprise anymore is a mystery. Although to his credit Biden has been responsible for a lot more innocent casualties and deaths than Trump in the leftards wildest dreams could ever hope to achieve.
The US is carrying out retaliatory strikes in Iraq in response to a rocket attack that killed two US troops and a British service member at a base north of Baghdad, two US officials say.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not provide details on the targets being struck or name the groups being targeted.

Well that saves watching paint drying!
I’m watching Cindy’s presser on the travel bans. Her news is “I’m not ruling anything in, and I’m not ruling anything out”.
Waste of time. She seems a bit breathless though. Needs a holiday.
Big announcement on Monday.
You had better hope that she doesn’t chuck her head off!
Why would I >>>
better hope that she doesn’t chuck her head off!
what would be the problem?
The chances are high it will detach…
I mean there is no weight in that head to hold it in place !!
Shades of the song Detachable Penis by King Missile in there boyo. I like it. Though I would rather have a detachable Penis inside me than whatevers inside Cindys head.

I have just been to the ACT function with Dozy Don Brash.
He had his go at Trump. No facts. Just misguided.
The clown sharing the Donald name with the great one is not all that bright.
But he said Donald Trump is not very bright.
Ironic.
DJT is President of the United States = POTUS. Won on first go.
Don was the leader of Notional and did not win an election.
Dozy Don was leader of ACT and could not win a seat.
He might call Trump ignorant and dishonest – and he does – so should we bring up that 10 years ago Donny Brash was a director of Huljich Kiwisaver funds that was doing dodgy deeds and Peter Huljich was ultimately convicted and fined. Don Brash and John Banks were directors and should have been brought into the net as directors. They were not. How convenient.
Don Brash – people in glass houses….
I won’t raise the fact that in 1990 Brash said people should not buy houses…then 18 months later (approx) he did. But, but it was different, you see!
Oh wait, I just did raise it. Oh Well.
I’ll let Dozy Don off as I believe he is well down the track of Autism so can’t understand people.
He lacks the social skills to comprehend the greatness of the real Donald Trump.
Don’s (the non-winning one) best place is with his nose in a book.
Brash’s presentation was mediocre but it was good to meet some intelligent people there.
That is disapointing.
Agree about glass houses. Some of those that cry Waaaacist will say that Don is the NZ Trump, without a doubt.
I like what Don Brash says, and is prepared to stand for, with Hobsons choice.
He even goes on red-radio and gives some facts about NZ history to counter the teachers material being given to students.**
There is no benefit in him making any comment about Trump at all, for or against.
**On that note, the commemoration of the battle of Kororareka in the media recently was a load of shit.
it was being turned into a Maori sovereignty bit. and about the mean government had forced Maori patriots to act.
In truth: The Northern War was a civil war amongst Nga Puhi as much as Heke/Kawiti fighting the crown. Heke was not the only chief of NgaPuhi and his mana, and his perpective, were at odds with other chiefs such as Waka Nene – who went to war alongside the British as allies.
Heke was not ‘protesting treaty breaches’ – that is bollocks, and revisionism in the language of modern NZ activists.
Heke didnt like that the capital of NZ had moved to Auckland, and so there was less trade/less tobacco etc in the Bay of Islands. The government levied taxes on ships (which drove them elsewhere), and they flew a British flag (a flag which allegedly a shit-stirring American sailor assured Heke meant the natives were being subjugated, as anywhere in the world it flew the natives vanished.).
So Heke’s PERSONAL material dissatisfaction, and belligerent nature led him to set a portion of Ngapuhi against the crown.
As noted even at the time, some Maori also loved fighting for pure love of fighting. TV did not exist yet.
This is not long after the end of the brutal Musket Wars & and cannibal massacres.
So summing up the rationale of the northern war as ‘protest against treaty breaches’ disguises the very divided thoughts of Ngapuhi on this, and the fact that it involved bloody killings and destruction of property.
It was not busloads of people being deposited by Action Station so that they can wave placards. It was a divisive and very costly war for Bay of Islands Maori and the government.
Oh No “SIR” Michael Cullens Kiwisaver account dies at the same time that he does!
I think that is entirely appropriate, serve him right. Karma, returns ten fold!
Why did he not allow the self managed funds the same as Australia?
Joe and Jane Taxpayer could have safe guarded their savings in property and would not be taking a hair cut, in the next couple of years, like most of New Zealand!
Is the Kiwisaver industry going to charge no fees this year?
That’s right he’s a died in the wool lefty!

All we can say is Thank Allah Jim Bolger set up Kiwibank and not Sir Cucken’ Cullen. Everything the LINO has done has failed including his bill to do away with knighthoods. Which is why the bestowment of the title upon him is his greatest insult.

The government needs to do something about the millions of imbeciles suffering from hysteria.
They need to be euthanized. It’s the kindest thing.
hahaha feel free to step up and volunteer first. Do it as a protest against Trump, hopefully other imbeciles will follow your lead
ABS, shouldn’t you be down pac & save smashing old ladies in the face over dunny rolls, with all the others?
I like that I have ruffled your feathers but the personal insults don’t bother me. Show me on this anatomically correct model of a vagina where someone touched you.
Probably the only one you’ve ever touched 🤣
I dunno about that…. Ive reached out to you a few times 😀

Kea you can’t hate Jews in one breath then use them as a moral lesson against the depravities of the West in the next. It doesn’t gel.
I dont hate jews. I simply hold them to the same standards as muslims and others.

Whats happenning at Pike?
Is the overstayer still in NZ? If so, why?
Ummm Ahhhh as a nod to our Muslim overlords, we have banned the word Pike as being pointy and ummm …. Sharp. Yes Sharp. We as a kind people do not like sharp objects so from now onwards, all Ayoteyorowans are required to use an eel to cut things. Should your local store be out of eels due to the latest ban on things that can hurt fish, use your teeth. Also in response to people biting each other all people are hereby ordered to report to a dentist to have their teeth removed. *SPRINKLES STARDUST*
sorry but us colonials are not allowed eels anymore. They have been culturally renamed as “tuna” Ok .
Is the Fat Crim, still here?
Yep,
he’s appearing at the Auckland Writer’s Festival May 16th.

Great info and graphs on corona virus

A: Governments: Limit large gatherings. OR
B: go hang out with Shia Muslims who believe prayer will cure you if you lick the afflicted
Cindy goes for B
Only 2 days ago Ardern was actively encouraging people to turn up to large gatherings… that featured Ardern virtue signaling.
In the bird kingdom Cindy is a fantail. Pretty to look at but a lightweight flitting from one tree to the next. Come November she’s a dodo.
Pretty to look at?
Your Spec Savers voucher is in the mail. Get your seeing eye dog to read it to you! 🙂
Fantails are all skin and bones. Cant even eat the bastards. You have to admire a bird thats so useless even cats let them live
Believe it or not Ballsack but Victoria University researchers going through middens near Te Awaiti on the Wairarapa coast found evidence that the Tangata whenua were actually reduced to eating fantails.
The useless bastards had burnt off the bush, forgotten how to grow kumara & must have lost their grandmothers’ jawbones they used for fish hooks.
Fern root & fantails was it. Had it not been for the noble White Man introducing sheep & pigs the last Maori would have starved to death by 1900.
Maui must have used his mother-in-laws jawbone to fish up Aotearower. The only bone in the human body big enough from all the jawboning over the years.
I remember learning about that in the 70s – from well-informed Wairarapa cockies.
Imminent population collapse through an inability to feed itself.
todays top funny.
Couldn’t stop laughing. been combating fools all day so a welcome releif.
Certainly not an owl.
The carefully selected and digitally altered photos, the media use, look nothing like Ardern.
In reality she looks like a tormented twitchy meth addict.
She’s not looking in good fettle on the telly!
Even with all the school and kindy trips.
How’s she going to even think of another term?
Ardern has nothing to do with the homunculus. Its tended to by the help.
She only uses it for photo ops and PR. As soon as the cameras are gone she drops the homunculus, wipes her hands, and stalks off.
I believe, even God is getting a bit nervous about the virus and has set up a cleaning roster to get his flock in heaven, to concentrate on better hygiene practices.
Jesus wiped.
Oh dear, not all are happy with Ardern’s “leadership” with the cornovirus issue

NZ First MP seeks harsher penalties for young reoffenders despite youth crime drop
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/03/nz-first-mp-seeks-harsher-penalties-for-young-reoffenders-despite-youth-crime-drop.html
A New Zealand First MP’s proposed law aims to penalise young criminals by using a demerit point system similar to driving offences, despite data showing a drop in youth crime.
New Zealand First MP Darroch Ball’s Member’s Bill drawn from the ballot aims to keep track of youth criminals and dish out consequences depending on the type of crime and the overall number of demerit points they get.
Youth crime has not dropped. They are just by passing the court system and fiddling with numbers.
Crime has increased under the Ardern regime.

“In this pandemic ‘coronavirus’ atmosphere, we are urging all Ngāti Kahungunu to revert to our tikanga, the ‘Kahungunu wave’ – Te Mihi ā-Tukemata a Kahungunu.

How many people have arrived from either Italy or Iran in the last two weeks? Does anybody actually have answers to these questions?

New technology aims to keep truck drivers alert behind the wheel
New technology that monitors the eyes of truck drivers is catching 20 to 30 fatigue or sleep incidents a day.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/new-technology-aims-keep-truck-drivers-alert-behind-wheel?auto=6141263250001
“To have someone asleep while driving a truck for seven or eight seconds on a main road, it’s pretty scary,” Charles Dawson of Autosense Guardian told 1 NEWS.
Mr Dawson explained how the technology works.
“It’s an infrared camera that’s focused on the driver’s face,” he said.
The push for driverless vehicles.
They should focus on the brainless humanoids in front of the wheel. Nah..scrap that.
The truck driver is the most regulated worker of the entire workforce!
He has to obey,
The law,
Roadcode,
Loading code,
The employers rules,
The customers,
All the while been observed by camera looking forward, camera in cab, satellite tracking (won’t be long and traffic tickets come in the mail for them),
Engine management system, which tells speed, over revving, hard braking, gear selection. Why bother? It’s not a bed of Rose’s out there!
You are right Sooty.
Hear me out on this.
For a computer to to drive a vehicle safely, it needs to know what safe driving is.
Eye movement , rapid response times and changes to maintain safe driving can be recorded from an experienced driver.
Transporting of goods from A to B are deemed habitual and are easily programmable.
However, variables and instinct are a lot harder to duplicate.
Hence, the recording of every aspect of a drivers experience.
Biometrics are here to stay.

But we need a fucking Hijab Hugathon……
Been having a discussion among the bro’s as to what it would it look like if New Zealand were to be suddenly put under martial law. (Due to limited food and necessities, as we have been taught to forget about self reliance)
Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions by a government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory. … Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial).
A couple of the guy’s were hinting at a “not long now” scenario. Most, resembled stunned mullets, as they didn’t even see New Zealand as ever needing to implement such draconian measures.
‘Go bush’, was the resounding consensus…. Yeah right.
Ardern was considering martial law and establishing concentration camps, on seized private property.
Too many confuse control with negotiations.
Sure there was a booka nd film about that. Might have been a dream by Smith, or maybe we should just let sleeping dogs lie
Coronavirus: Jacinda Ardern says Coronavirus Committee has agreed to extend border measures
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/120246601/coronavirus-jacinda-ardern-wont-rule-out-more-travel-restrictions
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the Government will announce further coronavirus border measures over the weekend.
At a press conference on Friday, Ardern said the Covid-19 Cabinet Committee convened on Thursday night and agreed additional border measures were necessary. Ardern said decisions would be made and announced over the weekend.
“We have agreed we will continue to use border measures and extend them and I expect we’ll continue to make decisions on that over the weekend.”
After reading and listening to Osterholm, I do believe we are well and truly fucked.
Quote:”Osterholm told Rogan the ‘whole issue of using your hands and touching your face’ is likely not the main way the infection is passed. ‘The data is actually very weak that the virus is going to be transmitted this way.’
He added that ‘just breathing air’ is likely the primary way coronavirus is spreading but warned surgical masks don’t block small airborne particles from passing through and entering the nose the mouth.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8102411/Infectious-disease-expert-predicted-spread-coronavirus-says-wearing-mask-wont-help.html
“Osterholm compared the coronavirus to influenza, because the disease transmits very easily through the air, and people are infectious before they ever display symptoms. ”
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/scientist-480000-people-could-die-due-coronavirus-48-million-hospitalizations-132167
I suppose all those at the Hijab Hugathon will ensure they don’t breath infected air…. or Maybe Jacinda will have an “Air” recall… Worked well for the guns…..
The weirdest thing I got from that interview, was the use of shit bacteria in pills to restore the gut bacteria of ill people.
Commercial Probiotics are a waste of money according to Osterholm.
You are correct Ed. It was the scientific community who said, putting a healthy persons fecal material into those that have depleted bacterium, would help solve gut and intestinal issues.
Pushing shit up hill, if you ask me.

Many Italians in Northern Italy sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese from Wuhan/Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct Wuhan flights. Result: Northern Italy is Europe’s hotspot for Wuhan Coronavirus

Attached tweet:
Also Chinese in Spain pay no taxes as there’s a trade deal between Spain and China so would this be the reason why there’s a large amount of issues in Spain regarding this virus ?
I hope Tracey Martin has self-isolated as they were shoulder to shoulder, on 6 March.

Evidently she has. However, she spent 90 minutes next to him. I’d be surprised if she is un tainted. She might have just done New Zealand a huge favour …. ( How many politicians has she been in close contact with ??? – Ones I don’t particularly like????) I am assuming she will have it based on the stuff I have read on how it spreads.
