Next years election slogan for NZ first will be “Vote for NZ First to keep Liarbour and the Greens honest”
The previous slogan of “Vote for Winston First to keep National honest” was promoted by Slater.
Do you reckon this one will be promoted by Martyn Martin Bradbury? It would seem fitting.
if I am quick enough I might do A Tamaki and trademark it.
The jackboot has landed!

Next it will be the homes of those who comment on disgraceful sites such as YSB.
But there is hope?

I’d call bs on that one.
1200 painkillers a month is about 40 a day. They must be low dose tablets?
1200 painkillers, plus heavy cannabis use, plus MDMA, plus meth.
How much luck is he having innocently shooting rabbits with that cocktail on board?
Wouldn’t want him behind the wheel of a car either.
Lawyers are worth gold when you need one MT 🙂
Woke fuckwit sooks HBOs Chernobyl doesn`t have any people of colour in the cast,

How stupid do you have to be, to be woke?
Not as stooopid as you might think. They are everywhere nowadays. Bloody social media has given every stooopid person an easy way of showing you how stooopid they are.
“Bloody social media has given every stooopid person”
But not all of us are “woke” (whatever the hell that is).
As an aside how can Chernoble not have coloured people in it?
Given the industry standard I guarantee the whole cast and crew are just like the original inhabitants. i.e. Red.
Woke explained,
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/06/26/tracey_ullman_hosts_woke_support_group_on_bbc_show.html
A good comedic kickstart for the morning. ?
Please also note ‘woke’ is a self-description, i.e. woke people describe themselves as woke. (For how much longer is anybody’s guess).
Brilliant! Cheers for the link.
This is I get to social media and do not intend to get any closer!
Well that’s not entirely accurate. I’m watching this series and I can assure you that the unfortunate victims of acute radiation poisoning depicted were of tremendous colour by the time it had advanced.
Were the bookmakers active at Trent Bridge last evening?
Or is it only sub-Continental matches that are under suspicion?
England deserved to lose, fielding was abysmal, batting not as bad but lost Roy and Morgan cheaply, Roy played a shocker. Starting to get interesting, could be NZ, Aussie,India, West Indies make the cut. In saying that, India are yet to play.
The diversity team are finding that picking people on their colour isn’t a great idea, meanwhile killing more white farmers, Zimbabwe 2 coming up. South Africa look like being ready to return home on India’s first outing. Maybe they can solve it by only playing teams with a certain percentage of colour. The world has gone crazy.
Before the game the slime were speculating whether Pakistan could stop England scoring more than the WC record in their innings (obviously pre-toss).
The headlines now stress how large the England target was.
Some fun reading around the traps today, particularly because the Poms are still getting over the weekend’s boxing.
Daughters partner is of today to mid Queensland for FIFO job on pipeline maintance. I had as well at times to keep the dollars coming in.
I guess their are also many from Taranaki seeking out opportunity in Australia instead of sitting and waiting to learn how to be a vegan and knitting hemp or bamboo socks for a living. Don’t mention filthy wool grown by dirty emitting disgusting sheep.
I think any person wearing wool should be publicly shamed, disgusting attitude to our terminal existence on this planet.
Taranaki can do what Queensland did, but need to fight back.
One of their mayors looks like he has rolled over and taken the pittance on offer.
Start showing these idiots just how stupid they really are.
This awful Col sticks a big knife in Taranaki’s back, robs thousands of long-term jobs, (in a multi-billion dollar industry FFS) and then flicks them a fancy new “clean energy centre” worth a few million bucks. Not only is this SO insulting to Average Joe Kiwis, these dumbshits won’t even find a carpenter to BUILD the f*ckin thing!
Any truth to the rumour Taranaki is going to replace it’s vanquished Oil and Gas Industry with Unicorn breeding and export?
I hear the really magical ones shoot rainbows out their arses….
Not the son-in-law then? Oh god I am so old fashioned.
And once-more the Lamestream Media illuminate their biases for all to see.
Apparently, Trump rants at village idiot and mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. However, village idiot and mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, does not rant at Donald Trump with “is just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat”. No, Khan is a ‘considered opinion’ whilst Trump is a ‘rant’.
Next, the media will pretend they’re actually neutral.
Trump tweeted “Sadiq Khan is a stone cold idiot”. So you wonder why on earth he would do that before he has even landed in Britain for a State visit. Well, that little nugget was left till after the click bait headline. Trump responded to Khan giving approval for the street protesters to float their Trump baby blimp while Trump is being hosted by the British Govt and Queen Elizabeth. Go Trump!
Khan opposed a Trump visit altogether. He is the democratically elected President of the UK’s best friend and ally. Bacon sandwich for Khan! 2020 for Trump!
The Don tells it like it is:
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1135453891326238721
And the Lamestream keep going parading their biases. This time with headlines like “Trump, still making it awkward”. In case any “journalist” bothers to look your Messiah, Obama, was a bungling idiot back in his day as well. The difference is you didn’t bother to report it.
Oh, look at this nitwit who didn’t follow protocol and who made it awkward:

Why was this never national news if Trump’s faux pas are?
Journalists = retards.
Hi you good users. I am new here. Fairydust received an email from the editor on Saturday and forwarded it on to me. I have heard you are giving her a hard time. Be nice to her. She has had a hard upbringing and is slowly getting her shit together. I don’t know where she gets the time to join this blog and say what she does. Good on her for doing so.
Someone has to come on here and give another side to these debates you are having. I will try and post on a regular basis. I work in the social field and it will be tough finding the time.
Work in the social field..? Is that like reading between the lines with Clarke on a Friday night in the city? Or just PR and woman’s weekly photo shoot assistant to Cindy every other week?
Wot the local knockshop?
She has had a hard upbringing and is slowly getting her shit together.
Haven’t we all?
Someone told me years ago that there were children that had worse childhoods than me. I replied with “That’s true, I survived”. I have permanent physical injuries thanks to the loving embrace of socialist parents.
Be nice to her? Is she nice to us? Not that ‘we’ require sycophancy. I would say that those on this blog are more open to other views than a left leaning blog would be. Trolling on the other hand is different. Anyway posting here is a choice, are you saying that Fairydust is a masochist by posting here?
I express my objection to the word ‘nice’.
Now now Rachael we are an all inclusividy blog. If someone wants to come here and asks you to be “nice” we must “respect” her “feelz” and not “offend” her.
Says he with the sarcasm literally dripping off.
Hi Char-mayne. I take it from your comment that you are here to “give another side to these debates you are having”. So what is your politics? Are you a died in the wool lefty/socialist dreamer, or perhaps you see increasing irresponsible demands on services that the taxpayer cannot keep paying for?
Tough? It is entirely voluntary. I would love to hear your views on this Government, if Fairydust needs you as a crutch then she is more like Jacinda than I previously thought.
Although I have suggested that they get some friends, (you I think have just confirmed she), is that the same as getting someone to give a personal plea for niceness? Are you ‘woke’?
How would you like ‘nice’ to be expressed, by agreeing with things that are not what I agree with?
Well welcome Char-mayne. I hope you are a little more able to add reasoned and fact-based input than your friend, if so you will be a very valuable addition to the general debate here. The great weakness of the ‘woke’ left is their inability to present any rationale at all for the policy positions other than ‘the feelz’. Fairydust seems only able to offer ‘Waacist’ or ‘Hayte speech’ to rebut any ideas or observations put forward here.
I for one would be most grateful for anyone who can illuminate with insight and intelligence the position and direction adopted by the political left.
Again you are many times welcome.
Wow what a tough crowd. Fairydust wasn’t wrong when she told me you were such a bunch of righties.
Never mind I am here and I am sure we can cope together in a civilised manner.
Someone posts a welcome to you and you respond by calling them a tough crowd?
Hell’s teeth, what were you expecting?
Yes we are righties, but please do engage in the conversation. There is a very simple explanation of why the folks here think and comment as we do- we believe in freedom, small Govt, low taxes, and self-responsibility. None of these values are “racist”, “sexist”, or “homophobic” by a country mile. Welcome to YSB 🙂
Hi Chars, thanks for coming on here. They are bunch of alt-rights who are always down on the like of us. Our ideas are totally strange to them. Together we can oppose their comments.
Curb you hate speech and bigoted labeling of me! Im so outraged! That will lead to death threats against me, even if they are from myself!
Im hardly alternative, just a general old fashioned right leaning New Zealand who would prefer that our country stay as it is/was.
Interesting that your point is “to oppose”, rather than discuss. It signals to me that you can and will see no view other than your own and that you are closed to the idea of liberty, personal freedom and personal accountability.
There is a better world than the jackboot, authoritarian socialism of Jacinda. Promise! You will however have to debate it, not just oppose it.
The pain you feel is merely the weakness leaving your body.
Have you been smoking this morning nasska?
Alt-right? What do you base that descriptor on? As that is used as an insult, you have a bit of a cheek. Chars might see you as ‘not nice?’
No need to oppose my comments. I’m a political slut and am ready to sell my vote to the highest bidder.
What’s on offer, Fairydust?
I suppose you are a traitor to your feelings Maggy and that you would be prepared to change your mind if you were merely presented with an explanation that seemed reasonable and logical.
The worst kind of open-mindedness. Pah! In our gloriously infantilised society, one must recognise that facts are just a social construct and that you must stay true to the narrative, regardless of facts or information that would lead you to change your opinion on a subject. Let your feelings rule you. Believe only what your teachers tell you (they wouldn’t lie would they) and what you see on TV (they wouldn’t lie would they). You don’t need to think! You don’t need to have explanations or proof! You just need to believe your betters like our glorious empathic leader.
You mi$understand me DP.
What’$ in it for me?…. that’$$$$$$ my guiding motive.
You sound just like my cussie, he’s always saying that before he does anything
MSM
The best example of ‘lying in unison’ you will ever see!
How does being a National voter make me an alt right?? If you think this is the case New Zealand is in more trouble than I thought.
Yes, well over a third of the country.
You give truth to my response to Char-mayne.
Our ideas are totally strange to them
You are so correct!
Welcome to your indoctrination into conservatism ladies 🙂
You never know it, but I might just show you the compassionate side in all this. If you don’t have a closed mind then we might get along well.
After a long night of passion, the young guy rolled over, pulled out a cigarette from his jeans and searched for his lighter. Unable to find it, he asked the girl if she had one at hand.
“There might be some matches in the top drawer,” she replied.
He opened the drawer of the bedside table and found a box of matches sitting neatly on top of a framed picture of another man. Naturally, the guy began to worry.
“Is this your husband?” he inquired nervously.
“No, silly,” she replied, snuggling up to him.
“Your boyfriend then?” he asked.
“No, not at all,” she said, nibbling away at his ear.
“Well, who is he then?” demanded the bewildered guy.
Calmly, Sally replied, “That’s me before the operation.
I will make more of an effort to post here. I do come by and read most days but have been busy with work commitments and sports on the weekend. Shout out to all those people here making this a fun blog to read and especially the owner of the blog, when we censor words we stifle thought.
Welcome ABS and thank you for your post below. I was pondering pointing out the deafening silence on the shooter’s id (you forgot to mention also a registered Democrat – again), but you saved me the trouble.
I see that the latest shooter in America (a black muslim) is the newest target to be “Voldemorted” by the media and USA law enforcement, they’re focusing on the victims and memory holing the shooter because he doesn’t fit the required demographic of being an angry white male.
Did anyone notice Ms Anjum Rahman, Hamilton, for services to ethnic communities and women this?
This Muslim sow is using the tragedy to lobby for hate speech laws.
I wonder when the letters went out, was hers sent out prior to the ChCh shootings or after?
I believe the letters went out early April.
The question should be, would she have been nominated and who was she nominated by, if ChCh hadn’t given a platform?
Some bleeding heart woke pork hating scum. It wasn’t her husband that’s for sure. They are tad touchy about other males seeing their wives apparently. But can we trust what the media tell us?
Especially when you hear about our female Olympian who died recently, over the years she had many of her male peers nominating her, and she didn’t succeed. That was appalling, and I am glad that she got the letter.
Bacon lovers only for me, (that sounds wrong but I shall go with it anyway lol).
Goes to show you were the CoL is leaning when it comes to the review of “Hate Laws” in NZ. Not that I doubt anyone here would be surprised by that revelation.
The whole thing surely can’t have much value anyway.
There are 180 awards, twice a year.
That is one a day. Not really unique are they.
Here’s some MNZM recipients:-
>Ms Allison Muriel Dobbie, Auckland, for services to library and information management and the arts
She was paid as a public servant to be head of the Library at Auckland Council.
She was just doing her paid job.
On a similar vein, prior to Geoff Palmer’s messing up local Govt in 1989 and introducing paid councillors perhaps they could get awards for community service. Now they are paid they can also get awards.
Double dipping. This is OTT.
If you volunteer it is one thing but if you are paid to do a job – usually from the public purse- then there should not be these awards.
How about this one:
>Mr Ewen Robert Pirie, Wyndham, for services to clay target shooting
I suppose when you throw millions and millions at rich fellas yachting events you have to sprinkle some other fairydust. But still…
and
>Ms Phylesha Brown-Acton, Auckland, for services to the Pacific and LGBTQI+ communities
…. yay for the alphabets
and
Hinemoa bloody Elder. Clearly that was not an award for good parenting!
Face Painting perhaps?
One award a day handed out.
They must be running around looking for them.
It is all so racist. But we won’t hear about that.
When was the last time there was an award for services to white people?
Dobbie got a sock?
Does he want to be free?
Oh, and this whole gamut is sexist.
If a bloke gets ‘Sir’ his wife can be ‘Lady’
Forever.
Frank Renouf’s wife of a few months was there at the right time and spent the rest of her life being Lady Susan Renouf when it suited.
For 30 years after the marriage ended and even 20 years after he died.
However if a woman becomes a Dame, her husband gets nothing.
This is soooo sexist.
She is the woman who, as well as ranting and raving about hate speech, has been making noises about the Government consulting Muslims re any decision making (i:e Islamic Law by stealth)
What is wrong with that? They are here to stay so get used to them having a say in how the country is run.
Depends on whether you’re happy that they’re a majority voice in this I suppose. Besides which, freedom speech is one of the most important principles from the Enlightenment. It was hard fought for, and now we have a bunch of people that want to get rid of it via re-badged blasphemy laws (“hate speech”).
Not if I can help it.
Better watch out for your daughters then you silly bint.
Well if they get a real say your avatar won’t be allowed to dress like that!!!!
You need to go back to trolling school, darl.

Gorgeous pictures of Trump’s State visit to the Palace:

Do children of a US President usually get banquet invitations too?
Only if they aren’t lefties. Cindy will be pissed she’s not there. She could have ducked over just for the event. Never mind, I guess her invite was sent by snail mail via Pitcain to make sure it never got here in time. No flies on our queenie.
The Trumps ‘tower’ over the Windsors.
Old people shrink.
What a class act Melania Trump is…
Could you imagine that dreadful Michelle Obama in the same scenario? She wouldn’t be able to contain her sneer…
I got a lazy dollar says the culprits can’t be found and will never be brought to justice.

As an aside- Jevan himself caused a bit of embarrassment for the Labour Party back in the day…
Wasn’t he the lad that had sex with some Labour MPs when he was under 16?
Yep, hanging around with Labour MPs, running around Parliament when he was 14 and should have been at school…

Petition to have NZ Government exit United Nations.
I’m surprised this hasn’t enjoyed more support.
Perhaps not enough people know about it?
https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/petitions/document/PET_82691/petition-of-carol-sakey-the-new-zealand-government-should?signed=true&fbclid=IwAR23oNY1hOkoiFm-RZmuOTZCJwE0_DtXIlVP4hJ9wVjZRT6dUTp58J4Q6OQ
She should have waited until next year- When the boat people start arriving and causing mayhem….Deluded New Zealanders are going to get a jolt of reality then!
Imagine what the world would be like without the UN to be a forum for the worlds nations to talk out their differences without resorting to war.
And you think that’s what the UN is?
Ba ha ha
Fool
On that scale, the UN has been an utter failure.
The UN is a highly paid ‘work scheme’ for progressive troughers to while away their time poking their noses into other countries affairs. It is a place far away for countries to place those past-their-use-by-date officials nobody wants to work with anymore. Worked for Ms Clark until they threw her back.
The UN is the equivalent of the freaks in the bar scene in Star Wars. It is full of piece-of-shit 3rd world, greedy motherf*ckers who want to get their grubby hands on YOUR money. They do not represent Western values at all. If the blue helmets show up, start shootin’.
Through a one world government? I do not wish to be homogenised thanks.
Given that the abusers and wreckers are now running the UN, more than time to exit. Unfortunately we have another PM looking for a job amongst them, so unlikely to happen.
Who will be the first NZ Politician ‘Milkshaked’ by the Lunatic Left next year?
I’d put money on that it will happen….
May that person get a smack in the ear for their trouble!
Labour plunging the economy into deficit.
https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/opinion/mike-hosking-labour-government-in-danger-of-plunging-into-deficit/
This is what you get when you let a socialist ideologue politcal science student drive our county’s economy. Grant Robertson may have worked in the halls of opposition but he does not have the requisite economic understanding to maintain a healthy economy. The NZ economy is doomed under his watch.
A good article with this bit sticking out like a sore thumb: “Now, fortunately Labour aren’t insane. But they are fiscally loose, and the numbers now prove it.” Unfortunately, Labour are insane, are fiscally loose and the numbers prove it.
Winston’s Post-budget magical mystery tour:
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/06/04/619315/winstons-post-budget-magical-mystery-tour
…”Peters refers to the lower currency, $1 billion for research and development, and then grumps about three billion logs being exported, without value being added, from Gisborne’s port, which is “not sound for the economy”.
Asked again what was in the Budget for the business audience he’s just addressed, Peters says: “Well, as I said, $1 billion for research and development. Ahhh. An economy with more money than there’s ever been in our economy at any time in its history. If you’re any good at making money, you should be able to make some.”
Except the $1 billion for research and development – which is a tax break, including for some state-owned enterprises – wasn’t in the Budget. It was a policy announced last October by Ministers Megan Woods and Stuart Nash. That whittles down Peters’ message to businesses, effectively, to: The economy’s awash with money, go and make some.”…
Full of it or delusional?
Both; add “senile” to the list!
“Not sound for the economy”? Not sure how he knows given he is responsible for a coalition that has done considerable harm to the economy and heading to do more. At least the log shipments have generated work in the community and are exports. Yes, there are issues with fair apportionment of roading costs and land use but these are nothing compared to the potential impact on farming by the Zero Carbon Bill.
The Zero Carbon Bill will impact negatively on more than just the farming industry. We will all get clobbered as we have been by the latest Excise tax to fund rail and public transport.
Mr Peters government has allowed the “captains Call” to decimate the Taranaki economy and thus the whole economy. They have form with economic waste. It is the soundness of the economy that is their weak point.
I was emailed by UMR but did not fir the criteria. That should mean there will be some poll results soon. I have heard that Colmar Brunton is also polling.
Never trust the polls Chuck. The only one that matters is election day, but even the last election let us down with the highest voting party being dunked by a drunk due to MMP.
You could always say you’re a Transgender Maori Muslim.
This headline caught my eye:
https://i.stuff.co.nz/business/113088665/paul-adams-from-state-house-to-knighthood
Imagine what this gentleman might have achieved if he hadn’t been handicapped by growing up in a cold draughty unheated uninsulated state house.
The kind no one can live in now because the damp and the mould make them so unhealthy.
“The kind no one can live in now because the damp and the mould make them so unhealthy” LOL! I’ve lived in a rural farm house built in 1911 for going on 4 winters now. My family is perfectly healthy, and a simple wood burner keeps us warm and cozy.
Last night I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I heard my wife’s voice from the kitchen.”What would you like for dinner, sweetheart? Chicken, beef or lamb?”
I said, “Why thank you, I’ll have chicken!”
She replied, “You’re having soup Dear. I was talking to the cat.”
Kitties RULE nasska!
Hey Ed looks like a damn good turnout today!
Yes thanks. Its surprising what a gentle rev up achieves?
The Northern Advocate alternates Letters to the Editor with “Facebook Feedback”. In today’s issue a contributor writes:
“We live in the Far North & once marijuana was everywhere now it’s like hen’s teeth as meth is the main drug of choice & very cheap. So many families up here are hooked the little kids sit in the house with it 24/7 with no escape, they are just as hooked as the parents, it’s a sad place to be up here I can assure you! Help is here but at what cost! I think they have to move quickly as every day someone dies.”
The author may not be the greatest writer but seems sincere.
Successive governments of both hues, police & customs must take the blame for the meth debacle. For years cops played Rambos, jumping out of choppers to pull a few spindly dope plants. People were turned over & charged for the remains of a “tinnie” in their possession. Who can remember when a NZ activist (possibly Shadbolt) had his lounge floor vacuumed by the police searching for evidence?
Meanwhile the gangs laughed & constructed empires from P. We are reaping in destruction what was sown in ignorance!
When we left the big smoke to retire to the boondocks we realised we might not have a big choice as to medical care etc…but as we were past our use-by dates, we figured no great loss.
On Friday, Hubby realised one eye was in trouble..and self-diagnosed that he had macular degeneration.
He called Spec Savers and got an early Sat morning appointment with our Optician.
Diagnosis confirmed by 11am on Sat.
Husband a bit grumpy when he was warned that because there aren’t many eye surgeons in Gizzy, he mightn’t get seen for a few weeks…..and the condition could deteriorate drastically, but optician would tell Gizzy Hospital that Hubby was an urgent case.
At 2:30pm Saturday Optician called to say he’d scored a spot for Hubby on Tues afternoon at the Hospital Eye clinic.
So today Hubby got first treatment… injection of “stuff” into affected eye… We were home by 4pm.
Now he’s down in his man cave fiddling with his circuitboards and tweaking his twiddlers.
I can’t see that we could have got better or faster service in Wellington.
The only real downside to medical support away from the main centres is the quality of the service offered. I’m not suggesting that it’s third world but cutting edge techniques take longer to filter through.
But by & large we don’t know how lucky we are.
The Optician had a OCT machine… so could get a cross-section scans of the tissues at the back of the eye within seconds. Hubby was duly impressed.
Is that an Over Cee Top machine!
Nothing in the budget to build the economy and create jobs, other than more “social workers”
Lets hope business wakes up to this and drops their confidence even more
Nothing in the budget for hard working families (except a possible drop in school fees)
Meanwhile more of their money goes to bludgers and the Maori Language.
8.40pm and 116 comments. Doing well people!
I think I have now signed it twice but they can work it out.
Had to laugh at a comment on the DM about the anti Trump protestors.
“I’ve never seen so many white people in London. Must be at least 200.”
