It’s about time ALL New Zealanders stood up and said “ENOUGH, poo skins! You are only 17% of the population! Your wants are beyond ridiculous! You will STFU! Tail wagging the dog WILL END!! 🤬 HUNTY!..PM of NZ.🏄
Hunty For PM of NZ, you are correct, have you ever seen such a bunch of grizzling Tossers as this lot.
Hawkes Bay farm goes up for sale by Tender. Tamatea Pōkai Whenua Settlement Trust puts a Tender, the Hori do not put up enough loot to secure the property, so the Tender is not successful.
Now they are having a big sook. Gee chaps, things don’t always go your way. Stand up, think of England and get over it.

I’m sure they could have grown some great gorse on it.
How’s that Raglan golf course growing these days?
hooli, is that the same place a group of natives done a hikoi to top of the hill in a sortve show of strength/ threat to the owners and prospective buyers?
Probably SB. The Monga or whatever it is, I suppose was so high and prominent, that when the Native trekked to the top in their momentous, heart rendering Hikoi, the air was so thin, they passed out from lack of oxygen and had to rescued by the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter. As such this traumatic event was not reported by the fine upstanding members of the MSM here in the Hub of the Universe, so yes it could be the same threatening prospective purchasers.
and a good pm you may be but you fly around and outve the country even more the the ptpm ardern so that might be a bit of an issue.
why the fuck do we fund this persons lifestyle?
a pro bludger with a twist, shouldve been evicted decades ago ffs. i find it hilarious the other house offered up to her she found unsuitable cuz the house next door was derilect yet expects her neighbours to be fine with her junkyard jungle.
a few of the locals should enquire with the kaitangata beautification society on how to deal with the problem.
for jobless making no money she sure can afford to buy alot of shit, vikey youre the biggest taxpayer around so how do you feel about buying all that stuff for her along with paying her rent?

The fact that the name ‘Penny’ Bight (Activist-extraordinaire – at least in her own mind) appears in the article gives some indication about the mindset of the individual that WO is dealing with.
Although WO will eventually win, it looks as if this could be a long war…
Why would you compare this person to Penny Bright, Komata
Was this out of sheer ignorance ?
your comments are usually low IQ but his is exceptionally daft.
Penny owned her own property , was working from age 16 .
the council got their rates after she died of cancer in her early 60s and the house sold.
She did not bludge off anyone.
I got to know her circa 2011. My sister already knew her.
Penny was correct on many things and I learnt things from her.
About Transparency international – a complete shonky outfit run in NZ by Ian Frasers (teevee-enzed critter) wife.
A damned yankee.
They put out massive lies.
Penny alerted me then to John Keys devious ways at that time
I already knew about councils having done work for them.
She was correct about water care- originally Metro water.
It is today a terribly inefficient outfit but no incentive to ever be efficient.
I said to Penny more than once she needed to sell her ideas and knowledge better but she had a tendency to go off the Reservation. That was her way .
method questionable, content correct.
I know you are not very bright Komata but can you tell me anything she was not correct about ?
The beneficiaries in the state house next to me seem to have trouble with the basics. For example, they can’t (or won’t) empty their letter box. Letters, junk mail and local Courier newspapers accumulate, become sodden in the rain, and decompose.
Yep, she seems like a sponging, entitled, cunt.
When I read your post, I thought “I wonder if it’s…” and sure enough, it’s the attention seeking loon I have seen at many events, The gear she is wearing in the photo is typical – she can always be spotted in a crowd.
I wouldn’t mind if she maintained the outside of her property and jammed the inside full of her ‘collections’ IF SHE OWNED IT, but as it is owned by the taxpayers of NZ she should be a damn sight more grateful and respectful of her neighbours.
As an aside – which scaffolding company charges $15,000 for 3 years? When I had my roof replaced it cost more than $2,000 for a week.
I wish that they’d opened a branch in the Wairarapa. We had the house painted before Xmas. On top of the cost of erecting the scaffolding we were to be billed $300/week if the job lasted more than three weeks.
Teachers of the world: you have my complete sympathy for having to deal with over sensitive wee attention-seeking snowflakes like this.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360673739/kingsway-school-complaint
ffs i read that 20mins ago, what a faux outraged lil pos bitch that retard is.
clearly the principal was spot on so no need to apologise.
now the retard will spend the rest of his life sponging off the state and stirring shit being a professional SJW.
I should have known better, but I read that article. Along with being disabled, he is also some variety of LGBTQ, according to Stuff’s fearless investigative journalists. I look for ward to Stuff’s next heart warming story about him becoming a tranny named Jackie. That will assure him a place on the Green party list, if by some misfortune the party is still around by then.
apparently 17yrs ago last night some stupid boy said “fuck off cunt” to a random chick in a pub in Gore after she told him to come talk to her…. after a few more beers he somehow did end up yarning to her and mocking her lots… end of the night on closing stupid boy was leaving and the firely lil chick grabbed his hand and said “youre coming home with me”… anyways not much sleeping that night and the headboard woke her flatmate multiple times, didnt even know each others names in the morning either.
very fun 1 night stand the stupid boy thought…
well 17yrs later stupid boy is still mocking that chick, been married to her over 12 of those years, still telling the cunt to fuck up occassionally and spawned a couple of kids.
pretty good effort considering every single one of our mates back then till now havent even lasted half of that with their relationships/marriages. quite funny really cuz a few said we would never last due to our very unique way of dealing with problems… it was sorted then and there, very loudly and we both used to tell each other our honest thoughts.
what a fucking wild ride its been, amazing what series of events can happen cuz the bottle store was closed so had a few beers at the pub instead.
Does said cunt read your posts? Must be a hell of a “good cunt” if so….
i tell her much of it 🙂
btw “cunt” , “fucker” and “fucking fucker” are her most commonly used words, her language is far worse then mine.
Careful, Hunty might get interested….
Excellent SB, only way to meet a decent Sheila.
You have a weird definition there AH.
Now you vent your spleen on us cause she told yas to piss off.
WTF?
the nurse hasnt been around with the meds trolley yet.
mrs sb algood now and sorted her shit so little chance of that so vikey will be disappointed and soon be sobbing into his cornflakes.
No one needs that kind of relationship commentary. Totally p$$s me off when some who dish it can’t take it. Try suggesting he buys a little solace for his frustrations and watch the howling start.
The battle of the brew can be lifelong, and I wish you and your bride nothing but victory.
meh, pretty tame compared to some comments made to us before we got married.
its algood, i understand how vikeys envy triggers him greatly.
I go along with IAASB on this one because the Nasska dynasty kicked off in much the same way. It wasn’t a pub where we met but a party where everyone was fried on warm beer & weak pot. We clicked & we were at it like rabbits a few days later.
Some love is gold
And other dust
But the purest, keenest love is lust.

Probably have a large mortgage. Plenty of people make “big” incomes, but by the time all their costs come out, there’s sweet FA left. Anyone who got divorced or separated can also feel that pain.
Not everyone got to buy their house in the 1960s for a few hundred pounds.
Lots of us didn’t, so what’s your point?
You buy a house at the time at its value and according to your savings and income.
Savings are always the key, and yes, things change along the way. Govt. is the biggest issue with those things.
Plus, we all seem to want more for less and never mind the rainy day.
How many people have agols and a plan?
The point is exactly that – things change. And even on “big” incomes, increasing costs erode one’s ability to pay a mortgage.
For instance, I reckon if you asked Wellington ratepayers five years ago, whether they’d be expecting ca 20% rates rises for years on end, not many would have.
Having savings and a large mortgage are antithetical, too – from the point alone that it’s better to reduce your mortgage first. Emergency savings are always important, but IMO should generally only be enough to go a couple of months or so. Regardless – pretty hard to save them in the first place for many.
Agree that the government have been the main driver of problems – through allowing unacceptable levels of immigration and through inflationary spending and borrowing.
“But weirdly, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time. I thrive off fear and excitement and risk.”
Bollocks, she will just get back on the bottle. According to her book she is a self confessed piss head. One could ask what she did with the financial largesse she received from TVNZ, maybe shared it with Ramjam Gupta down at the Bottle-O.
Golly I had to shed a tear or two after reading about what that poor mite has been through. I’m sure everyone will join me in wishing her all the best. Wasn’t she a Green party candidate.? Golly she would have made an extraordinarily M.P.
Marvelous.
The female version of Dunky Garner.
Say what you like, she was and still is a good-looking lady. They all have proclivities to other things. Maybe growing up and needing some financial learning like lots of Kiwi’s.
..Maybe growing up and needing some financial learning.…
Fuck off
she wanted to be a Green pardy MP and tell us how to live, what to wear, and eat, and what to think !!
She is a a useless alkie tart .
no sympathy.
Get your own house in order before you tell other how to live. That is why ALL green pardy MPs and candidates are vile critters.
Railing on others while being psycho failures.
Note to self , barley paddock next to house shouldn’t be harvested last. Currently it like a warzone out kitchen window as that was the best place for the lads to set up for duck numbers.
neighbours pond is 1 paddock over from our house… mrs sb was not a happy woman this morning as she forgot it was duckshooting and went to bed last night excited for a sleepin.
im feeding moos at work, theres 5 different crews shooting here and it sounds like ww3 aswell, all our crops at work are resown but neighbours arent ad no ones shooting there. thousands of parries, canadian geese and mallards occupying those stubbles.
My girlfriend had just passed her driving test so she drove me to town.
It was packed but we managed to find a space but she was nervous about doing a parallel park.
“I’m confident in you babe just do what you did in the test” I said
She slowly started unzipping my fly!!..
theres probs covid clowns like this lurking somewhere in nz…

A man is touring Ireland and as he’s driving his rental car through the countryside, the engine begins to falter. He stops and as he takes a look at the engine, hears a voice saying “Check your plugs”
Looking out across the fields, there’s nobody to be seen, just a few horses. He turns back to have another look around the car, and again hears “Check your plugs”
He turns about, and there’s a white horse standing by the fence.
“Was that you?” he says to the horse.
“Yes”, it replies “check your plugs”
The man turns back to the car, and sure enough, finds a loose spark plug lead. He pushes it back on, starts the car again and it’s running fine once more.
“Thank you!” he shouts to the horse, who nods its head and replies, “No problem, you’re welcome” and the tourist continues on his way.
He drives on to the next village, and decides that he must tell someone about what’s happened. Finding a pub, he goes in and says to the landlord “You’ll never believe what’s just happened” and goes on to recount his experience.
“Was it a black horse?” asks the landlord.
“No, a white one” replies the tourist.
“Oh, thank the Lord for that!” says the landlord.
“How come?”
“Because that black one knows absolutely nothing about cars”\

KATIE HOPKINS HITS BACK IN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW OVER HER BACKING OF “SNAKE” NIGEL FARAGE
https://youtu.be/ibBJzzFupEg
1 hour 33 minutes : Apr 30, 2025 : Interviewed on Dan Wootton “Outspoken”
With two days to go before a potentially seismic election in the UK that could end up banishing the Uniparty to history,
Katie Hopkins joins Outspoken for the first time today to reveal why she believes it’s right to vote for Reform UK,
even though Nigel Farage might be a monster and a snake.
But there remain serious concerns on the right today, as Nigel went on the British Bashing Corporation today to boast about his party’s shift to the centre, which has sparked criticism from Douglas Murray, who has backed Rupert Lowe’s position on mass deportations.
Katie Hopkins presents a strategy for the short term, and sets up what possible game changers will occur a bit later.
Like to bear in mind the authenticity of Tommy Robinson, on his eventual release, to be contrasted with Farage, and others too who have stood firm.
The views of Tommy Robinson’s documentary “Silenced” are now at over 160 million..
Also there are at least 6 other earlier journalistic documentaries that Tommy Robinson also produced on the grooming gangs.
A number of others have picked up on the grooming, & now producing similar documentaries where one showed strongly it from a court case, that it was rape & torture, even if they are not full on mainstream media.
It has in a way started to jump the class divisions, as some of the toffee nose see it as an “edge” an issue as a perverse income stream.
Whether the figuring of Katie Hopkins, like the plans of “mice & men” come to fruition remains to be seen.
Reform won by 6 votes, but it is a major shift of Labour’s numbers down, and a collapse of the Conservative vote.
The catch is still well over 4 years until the UK is required to go to another general election.
But will Labour over throw Keir Starmer and a few others, well before then & just go back to being Labour?
Are there any back benchers there with any capability? except to feed in the trough.
You’ll be enjoying your coffee, even more this morning Alice with these results.

I thought we should look at a comparison of the state house boys.
Johnkey, Luxon and Bob Jones.
Coming as I did from not far from his state house, I can say that growing up there was a bit rough for many, which is why he learned to fight.
Many of the Dads from that area ( and probably many Mums) had been to war and returned with broken hearts and minds and without support of any kind, just had to get on with life
They went into factories that sprang up, or joined the public service or started their own trucking business, went building. There were dozens that did that.
Learnt to drive a truck in the desert and Italy, and other places.
Many of the associations between them had been forged during active service.
It was also a time when the Pill came along.
Schools were very local, and discipline was a lot tougher than today. Strapping was allowed, as was canning.
The Naenae pub was a riotous place not for the faint-hearted.
I would say of the three, Jones was more worldly wise, smarter, did more good for Kiwi’s especially those in need of real help, and our country, than the other two.
He was well-travelled in the time when even Russia was still closed off.
And besides, he was probably a bloody sight richer.
He also gave a lot of money to the Catholic needy.
Those Nuns who did good work for the ladies but never got funded from the mothership.
Just a few thoughts.
A reminder that the NZ Party was, AFAIK, the first to ever talk about a Constitution for NZ. My oldest friend, who died just a few weeks ago, was part of a group that was involved in developing that document.
Sadly, we need it more than ever and had one been in place a lot of the last 40 years of crap could not have happened.
Jones was almost certainly the best-read person in this country; reading and knowing our history was a passion of his. It will be interesting to see what happens to his book collection, as it was very big.
Hopefully he will come back to haunt some.:lol:
weird rambling
Jones was born in 1939.
The pill was not available for another 25 years in NZ and John Key was born by then . 1961
A Boomer.
whoever said luxcinda was a state house kid.
His father was an exec for Big Pharma and luxcinda went to St Kents in Auckland for a while . Current fees there are over $20k per annum.
For a start I would rank historian Paul Moon as a more active reader of books as he produces regular serious, researched books.
How smart was Jones when he had serious TDs
and whilst disparaging Liebour in the Kirk Era came to heavily favour Liebour esp as they expanded office space requirements and lined his pockets.
all taxpayers money.
I dont agree the sheer brutality of Rogernomics was good for NZ.
The sell of of SOEs was a shocker that ripped off taxpayers.
Jones praised this.
He was a joker that lived, made money, dropped baby batter all over, and was part of the 1980s set that got BS knighthoods which has made them worthless.
Pretty sure I remember reading in a biography that he got his start by cooking the books of a business he had and thus fucking over the guy who bought it off him.
There was also the driving? incident with the scout master. Does anyone recall the details?
Bit of a bully, IMO.
yes a bully
too many nice things said; beyond reality.
There was a 1973 or 74 incident with a Traffic cop on Wellington waterfront. McCloud the name.
1980s choice.
To buy Art of the Deal or a Bob Jones book.
Mmmm.
AFAIR his start was sending out invoices to businesses for advertising that never occurred.
Then working on 15 to 20% blindly paying the bill.
Which is why I say always drive Creditor invoicing off costed purchase orders.
No PO to match, no deniro.
Can work for 95+ % of the time
only variables are the likes of a tradesman doing urgent repairs of unknown quantum.
cooking the the books before sale is common.
Much more so in AU than NZ.
He was told at about 23 or 24 that he did not have long to live so he went for broke; then did not die.
Luxinda did at some stage. The pill and other contraceptives were around in the 50’s Perhaps you never knew. I grew up around there, so I was well aware of what went on There’s lots more I could if I wanted tell you about Mr Asia and the people involved and a few other things like that.
Jones was years ahead of Moon with his reading.+
He did what most do, changed his mind about politics from time to time, much like you as a labour supporter once was.
you really know shit all that wiki doesn’t tell you.
You are a pompous twat.
AI Answer
—
The contraceptive pill was first prescribed in New Zealand in 1961.
While the pill was developed in the US and approved by the FDA in 1960,
New Zealand was relatively quick to adopt it compared to other Western countries.
However, access for unmarried women remained limited until the 1970s

A Texas farmer went on vacation to Australia. He met up with an Australian farmer who proudly showed off his wheat field.
“That’s nothing,” said the Texan. “Back home, we have wheat fields that are twice as large as this.”
Next the Australian pointed out his cattle.
“They’re nothing,” said the Texan. “Back home, we have longhorns that are twice as big as your cows.”
Just then, half a dozen kangaroos
bounded across the road.
“What are those?” asked the Texan.
The Australian replied, “Don’t you have grasshoppers
in Texas?”
Northland’s worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two seater Cessna plane crashed into a urapa on the outskirts of Kaitaia. Search & rescue workers from the local marae have recovered 1826 bodies so far & expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.
I think they got that wrong
They read the gravestones that said 1826 being still savages decided that was how many were in the grave.
If you have telegram watch this https://t.me/rtnews/93923
“workers from the local marae “
You expect us to believe that there are workers at the local marae?
LOL….
Somehow I don’t buy into this shit – from the press this morning but only as far as a non subscriber gets.
“The wet weather that lashed Canterbury and prompted state of emergency declarations in Selwyn and Christchurch fell at record rates not seen in more than 50 years.
Christchurch experienced its wettest April day since MetService records began in 1943 and was in the top five wettest days recorded all year round, meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane said.
Between 9am Wednesday and 9am Thursday, Christchurch recorded 80.2mm of rain, nearly double its April average of 44mm.”
That is basically 3 inches – over 24 hours.
Correct
Never trust Met Office records.
Esp with them taken over by dodgy feckers from NIWA
punch n judy Collins doing
has that trogg done anything good or useful in 23 years sucking at the taxpayers trough?
3 inches in 24 hours is not much to cope with
Auckland gets that several times a year
so yes does not make sense.
either 3 inches
or a lot more which caused the problems
of course CHC being flat may be more of an issue
as opposed to AKL which is undulating and creates more water run to move it along .
What happened to “For Maori By Maori” and where are the Maori Wardens, the Maori Police Force dealing with this problem? Oh no, the Natives want the Englishman, John Peels idea, Plod, to solve their problem.
How about Ngaphui try dealing with drug use themselves and get the Mongrel Mob and all their other Whar Now to stop selling this sort of shit, then the problem may not be so great.

Room ERUPTS After CBC INSULTS Poilievre—Mark Carney SHOCKS Everyone With This
Jasmin Laine
This Just Got UGLY—CBC MOCKS Poilievre, Alberta FIRES BACK, Election Games EXPOSED
The $billion per year, before even covid years, through the years paid to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation CBC paid off well to Trudeau & now Mark Carney, in giving them flattering, and unquestioned coverage & ironing out any troublesome issue.
Just to get this at 15:56 of Mark Carney’s past shady wheeling’s & dealings. Set to start here.
https://youtu.be/wxblXN2_a-Q?t=957
Done in 12 secs though you may wish to pause & read a moment to take in.
Then main-steam full attack as derogatory, besmirching with smears and devious omission & sly digs about Poilievre.
It seems that many, maybe belatedly, are waking up to the media coverups, and seeking more information from alternate media, like Rebel News, & Jasmin Laine & others.
While our NZ media has links to the Canadian media system, and is also financed by the government through a variety of government auspices, so called NGO’s with charters but really “dis”-connected to be supposedly impartial whilst claiming independence.
Thanks S1.
Trump will have Carney’s measure and has begun another game of chess to extract what he wants from negotiations with Canada’s new leader.
Aussie election results in a few hours.

How will One Nation do ?
Preferential voting takes longer to count as nullified candidates are re-allocated upwards.
Not sure when we see a result .
liebor got in last time with a mere 32% of first Preference votes.
It was the second and third prefs that got them in.
I still dont agree with compulsory voting.
To vote should be a choice of action.
Withholding a vote should be a right.
In Australia it ends up with voided votes so just pissing off people to cling to an ideology.
————————
Remembering that in ao tear zooland in 1999 the fuckwit electoral commission counted the peoples referenda first (2 of them)
when there was overwhelming support
and still ignored by crooked politicians.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see One Nation do very well.
Pauline has been very measured this time and X is showing big support from contributors posts.
Not sure if preferential voting is the same or worse than MMP.
Nothing is worse than MMP.
Though compulsory, nothing stopping them casting the vote as “none of these idiots” or “with held vote” or “spoilt vote”.
Here in NZ it was the “supposed” promise of removing all the maori seats if MMP came in.
Face has turned blue, and has put many in a coffin waiting.

Nigel Farage is no longer the clown lobbing bricks from outside the circus tent. He now has a foot inside – and he’s brought the cannon.
The right-wing populist figure, famous for his Brexit advocacy, and his Reform UK party have unleashed a political earthquake, flipping local councils, seizing two mayoralties, and even toppling Labour in a House of Commons stronghold.
Farage’s party gained control of 10 county councils during Thursday’s local government elections, securing more than 670 councillors in total. Reform won the biggest share of the vote, which is the first time a party other than Labour or the Conservatives has done so.
This isn’t just a protest movement; it’s a political insurgency, fuelled by frustration and led by a figure who knows how to weaponise it.

This isn’t just a protest movement; it’s a political insurgency, fuelled by frustration and led by a figure who knows how to weaponise it.
Former Conservative minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns delivered a crushing blow to her old party, winning the Greater Lincolnshire mayoralty by a massive 40,000 votes. This represents a stunning reversal of fortune for the Conservatives,
Farage’s campaign is no longer just noise from the sidelines – it’s a force to be reckoned with.
For now, Farage is king of the rubble. Britain’s political centre has crumbled – and he’s dancing on the ruins.

left wing tripe
$1uffed and SMH
…the clown lobbing bricks from outside ..
when was Farage a clown ?
the fact is media twats could not handle him.
They want to label people – like far right -and Farage was too mercurial for them
He was an MEP for years.
He led the Brexit strategy – although the corrupt in situ uniparty pommy MPs have not allowed the true benefits to accrue.
Now to hold to the Katie Hopkins strategy as mentioned in this thread above.

But more than a warning for Reform, that many like one of those Mayors, was a toffee nosed Tory Conservative that could not win before.
So many infiltrated Reform in the organisation, & are still “upper class”
Sure it is turmoil at the moment, but figure as Katie Hopkins mentions, the changes, just who is authentic, like Rupert Lowe, Ben Habib, and who will Tommy Robinson back?
I see some iwi outfit is going to form an artificial reef off Tauranga.
I remember some guys doing that years ago in Hawke Bay.
They used some round concrete balls with holes in.
At some stage down the track they all disappeared.
said iwi should have a yarn to our navy theyve got experience in reef finding and artificial reef construction
Yep, they have planted them in the deep bits. Not many of them around the harbour. By the wharves and around the mount. But Cameron Luxon told me today they are going to change the Resource Management Act so POT can dredge the harbour even deeper and bring in more container ships. The problem is that there is nowhere to handle the containers unless they also fill up more of the harbour, which, as you can imagine, ain’t going to be that popular.
We want it all to Whangarei.
Its one of those inevitable things that short-sighted people can never see.
..But Cameron Luxon told me today…
so you claim to have met this guy and don’t even know his name!!
Cameron Luxton MP is based in Tauranga
It is an insult to call anyone luxon.
—————————-
move shipping to Whangarei
There is not the roading and what there is dies out 3 or 4 times a year
the rail washed out 2 years ago
Silly idea
you do waffle a lot about POT
Get Mahe Mahe to fix it.
He’s a saint!!
His Granddad got things done.
notional have announced some shit about roads north but we know about announcements….
Rough seas come right a day or two after a storm
Road and rail does not.
mahe will add a rainbow crossing and solve the ports problems!!!
vikeys just upset cuz the stacked containers and tanks block his view and affect his property values.
dumb fuck neglects the fact its a huge source of employment and money generator for many other businesses. if those folk cant earn money then they cant pay to get their curtains cleaned!!!
stupid old fuck is also upset cuz once again theres not enough choo choo trains there either, probs wants to see horse and carts too and perhaps dinosaurs.
too fucking retarded to keep up with the times, the sooner he feeds worms the better off the world will be 🙂
For what purpose?
The astrolabe reef was added to in 2011 by the MV Rena 😊
About 7km north of Motiti Island and 25km northeast of Tauranga Harbour.
Seems to be part of an iwi Motiti marine protection zone so No fishing is allowed there.
Are they looking to add another ship to it?
Are they looking to add another ship to it?
get DEI onto it
It will be done by lunchtime.
HMNZS Pugwash.
better be quick
They tend to do the sinking on Saturday evenings
THREE KEY FACTS
The Canadian Liberal Party’s resurgence, led by Mark Carney, capitalised on anti-US sentiment.Pierre Poilievre’s alignment with Donald Trump backfired as Canadians rejected Trump-style politics.Australia’s Labor Party, led by Anthony Albanese, is poised for victory, distancing from Trump populism.There is a rapid and significant shift occurring in world politics.
It won’t be long before we see if he is right. Never commented on Farage’s results.
Guess who.
Clearly hasn’t checked out the uproar that is happening in Canada. More than one state looking at moving on.
yea but they wont, canadians are apologetic sooks and wont have the balls to do anything other then talk.
Sounds like New Zealander’s.
pretty much.
this shitholes not worth fighting for anymore so the saner folk have either given up or left.
