This guy Kelvin Davis is making an absolute pillock of himself over Christmas Island.
Not one person I know expresses any sympathy for the Murderers,Rapists and assorted Violent Criminals his heart is bleeding for..
Good on Australia for turfing them out. We should do the same with Criminal scum here..

How many NZ “journolists” are Labour or Green hacks?
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/8/republicans-media-bias-claims-boosted-by-scarcity-/

A mere 7% of journalists identify as Republicans, and when they do give money to political campaigns they usually donate to Democrats, lending evidence to Republican presidential candidates’ claims that they are facing a hostile audience when they deal with the press.

On a topic DPF has posted extensively on before, have to say that Uber is amazing. Got to London at easter and have used it 20+ times. Will never go back to taxis.

Got a taxi out of necessity a month or so ago. Guy doesn’t accept card payments (and to think these dinosaurs think their anti-competitive behaviour is just ‘levelling the playing field’) so I make him stop at an ATM to get some cash out at the end of the journey. Having done so, as I get out of the cab to walk to the ATM he proceeds to scream abuse at me thinking I’m doing a runner (he had forgotten why we were stopping obviously). He apologetically takes my cash and drives off.

Funny that by far the worst private driving experience I’ve ever had is one of those regulated, trustworthy taxi drivers.

This also is apart from the fact that fares are around a third at most of taxis. Even on a weekend late at night where there is occasionally 1.5 – 2x surge pricing Uber is still always cheaper than a cab.

Never again. Get with the times or wither and die

It looks like the UN are getting back at Tony Abbott for his speech, on migrants, in London recently by having a go at Australia’s policy. They are a bit slow ( as usual) given firstly how the speech was received in Europe ( generally quite positively) but also in the last week or so many European countries are starting to work on ways to close their boarders.

But the Aussie media will lap it up the UN criticism so they can have another go at Abbott.

Ireland’s Savant asks the question – “have the globalists got the dirt on Angela Merkel”?.

A very valid question considering her current suicidal policies and very public denunciation of multiculturalism only a few short years ago.

http://irishsavant.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/have-globalists-got-dirt-on-frau.html?m=0

While travelling to Scotland recently my wife – despite carefully divesting herself of potential terrorist weapons (you know, things like nail-clippers) activated the airport scanner. In her sixties, blond and blue-eyed a less likely terrorist would be hard to imagine. Yet she was forced repeatedly to pass through the device before finally being undergoing a humiliating body search. Which predictably revealed nothing.

Meanwhile a few hundred miles to the south hundreds of thousand of swarthy and angry young men with names like Mohammed and Khaled with enough baggage to accommodate a small arsenal swarm across the EU borders without so much as a cursory check from the authorities. This of course is just an extreme example to highlight the inexplicable nature of European politicians’ support for the brown tsunami engulfing their countries. Because for the average politician such an influx represents unrelieved bad news. Pressure on social services, further limiting access to already crowded schools and hospitals, more taxes to pay for the parasites etc. And not least the inevitable ethnic strife to come.

The spider at the centre of the current web is of course Frau Merkel. Which in one sense is surprising in that five years ago she publicly admitted that multicultural ‘had utterly failed’, and that the whole concept whereby ‘different cultures live side-by-side simply does not work’. The invasion has lead to most other European leaders realising the same thing. (Or admitting it openly anyway as the realisation must have dawned on them years ago.) So now she’s battling bitter opposition on all fronts yet persists in her support.

Why?

My own belief – and that’s all it is, a belief – is that the NWO globalists, especially those at the heart of the American Deep State, have the dirt on her. This would also explain her otherwise inexplicable support for America’s deranged policies on Eastern Europe and Russia even in the face of outraged reaction from virtually the entire German business sector and much of the public. And she also allowed the country’s Federal Intelligence Service collaborate with the N.S.A. in spying on and passing industrial secrets from German advanced technology companies such as EADS and Eurocopter.

Don’t forget that Merkel was a staunch Party member under the former Communist regime in East Germany before magically somersaulting into the united country’s Chancellorship. Who knows what kind of dirt lies under this particular stone? In support of my theory the New York Times has reported that “the N.S.A., in a practice that dates back to the depths of the Cold War and that has never ended, was recording her conversations and those of other top German leaders. It continued to track Ms. Merkel as she ascended to the top of Germany’s political apparatus.”

Maybe I’m wrong but I fail to see any other logical reason for Merkel to enforce a policy that she herself admitted doesn’t work.

RNZ’s Labour Programme is using the Christmas Island riots to kick at National.

A chance for Kelvin Davis to call John Key weak, and a Maori Party spokesman also calling for action from National.

Are the NZ’ers held at Christmas Island all criminals being held pending deportation?

RNZ will obviously breathlessly repeat whatever anyone says or writes to them, as long as it’s anti John Key, and, even better, tosses out a few personal insults about him.

We know there are convicted criminals on Christmas Island. we know around 50 of them are NZ citizens awaiting deportation. We
Somehow this is all John Key’s fault.

If RNZ (what can that R stand for?) accepts their news reports from any crim, publicity-seeking MP, completely uncritically, then it is no wonder it is too embarrassed to call itself a radio station.

It is no longer a proper news outlet and this morning’s effort was disgraceful.

Re: ‘…Why not confine the Olympic games to White Anglo Saxon protestants (the master race) who of course never cheat at sport’

We used to – they were known as the BRITISH EMPIRE Games!!! Unfortunately (and, ironically, as a direct result of the actions of a few Germans and an Austrian; with help from the USA and the UN), the Empire is no more and the (now) ‘Commonwealth’ Games are but a shadow of their former selves.

BTW, it was usually the ENGLISH / BRITISH WASPS who tended not to cheat at sport. Them across the ‘Channel (especially the always-perfidious French) were never, ever, be expected to do anything else but…

‘R’ at one time stood for ‘Royal’ as in Royal New Zealand Air Force, and was always on the basis of an especially-issued (conferred) Charter issued by Buckingham Palace. As Radio Red is now using this appellation without benefit of (Royal) Charter, it would seem to be getting ideas well above its station, which given the ‘anti’ right (and by implication anti society / royalty) rhetoric which emanates from them, is somewhat rich.

Perhaps they feel they are being ‘inclusive’?

Now Radio NZ political reporter Amelia Langofrd is saying John Key is “being urged to step in following rioting on Australia’s Christmas island detention centre.”

What do they think NZ can do? Send in its SAS? To back some criminals??????

If criminals in an overseas detention centre riot and arm themselves with machetes etc (one speaking on Radio NZ), some may well end up getting shot.

Nothing NZ Lefties can do about it. Not a helluva lot of sympathy will come from the majority of NZ’ers.

The number of NZ State houses contaminated by methamphetamine is rapidly increasing. 2 years ago 28 State homes needed decontaminating, in the first 1/4 of this financial year it has risen to 174 houses that needed decontaminating. In 2014 Housing NZ spent $2.3m decontaminating almost 230 meth infected houses. Those costs have come out of OUR tax money.

Even just smoking this poison in a house can render it uninhabitable, and particularly dangerous for children even to visit for short periods. Homes that have been used to cook meth have to be completely demolished and in some cases the surrounding soil needs to be removed.

Housing NZ have demolished 14 State houses in the past year. In the next year 600 houses are expected to be decontaminated at a cost of $8,000-$16,000 per house. That cost is met by the taxpayer.

Paula Bennett says it is a privilege to live in a State house and use of meth will not be tolerated.

Sorry Paula, but telling them off for drug behaviour is not adequate to prevent them from ruining State owned assets and costing the taxpayer an ever increasing amount. Time to get tough with these bastards.

Let the internal squabbling begin. A gay man has started a petition to remove the ‘T’ from ‘LGBT’ because, it’s not natural, you know. Among the reasons mentioned in the petition –

The vilification and harassment of women and gay/lesbian individuals who openly express disagreement with the trans ideology; a simple disagreement over an issue can result in responses that range from insults (“transphobic bigot”) to threats of physical harm (often, in the case of women, rape) and even death; the harassment by the transgender community of prominent individuals ranging from iconic gay rights activist/drag queen RuPaul and legendary feminist Germaine Greer has been particularly loathsome.

This part really takes the cake –

Most troubling, by persuading parents and health professionals to diagnose children as young as four as transgender, despite considerable research that shows that more than 90 percent of children who express “gender dysphoria” at a young age grow out of it by adolescence and, in most cases, grow up to be well-adjusted gay men and women;

https://www.change.org/p/human-rights-campaign-glaad-lambda-legal-the-advocate-out-magazine-huffpost-gay-voices-drop-the-t

Um, hello?? Christians have been vilified in the way they are complaining about, by these same gay people. So the shoe is on the other foot now and they don’t like it? And while it is true that many children grow out of gender dysphoria, I doubt that most of them grow up to be “well adjusted gay men and women”.

Komata – ‘Royal’ with regard to an organisation is a word protected by legislation in NZ. Some years ago a NZ group with Royal buried in its name sought to become an Incorporated Society (HM the Queen is the Patron of the parent organisation). The Registrar would not accept the name without consent from Buckingham Palace. The group wrote to the Palace and consent was given.

Interestingly companies in Holland can seek to use ‘Royal’ in their name if they have been in business for 100 years, ‘Royal Dutch Shell’ is a high profile example.

Stephie the Bot (9.34), I thought interest rates would be a worthwhile topic for you. Can you explain please, how your Muslim mates borrow if they don’t accept the concept of interest rates being acceptable?

Given that also, how they adjust to an NZ system where the Reserve Bank uses interest rates as a tool?

How does a sharia economy work?

What do the Islamic Holy Books have to reveal about economics?

Russia has not admitted yet that a bomb brought the plane down. Meanwhile, evidence of the deviousness of these seventh-century barbarians:

Hotel workers are being questioned in Sharm el-Sheikh amid fears the bomb suspected of downing the Russian jet was planted in luggage in a passenger’s room. Egyptian investigators have widened the scope of their enquiries after British spies intercepted intelligence that suggested explosives were smuggled into the hold of the doomed plane.

Airport staff, ground crew and air traffic controllers have already faced interrogation as it looks increasingly likely the bombers had help from an insider at the airport.

So what is in the news today.

Criminal Scum on the way to a celebration die.

Criminal Scum who do not want to be deported from Australia, for criminal behavior, are rioting at Christmas Island.

The rich should have their wealth confiscated and redistributed to the poor.

To bad so sad, a win for the general public. It would be more cost effective to pay the Australian Government to keep them, we do not want them back. When the TAX take becomes to oppressive the rich will pack up and leave.

@ Manolo 10:16
I would think that with the evidence produced so far, the likelihood that the Russian A321 was brought down in the Sinai by a bomb gets less likely day by day. An explosive noise heard on the cockpit voice recorder could be indistinguishable from the sound of an explosive decompression at 31,000 feet after a major structural failure, or from an explosion in a fuel tank as in the TWA 747 over New York for example. There are very rapid easy tests which positively detect the presence of bomb residues, and it is significant that no such results have been reported so far. There are political reasons (internal and external) why Russia would like these bomb conspiracy theories to continue as long as possible, and so far the Western media seem happy to comply by continuing with stupid reporting, such as “90% chance it was a bomb” statements. Putin will be pleased they are distracting from what may be the real reason – poor maintenance. After all, he didn’t seem to care about the MH17 victims, so letting the apparent blame for his own disaster fall elsewhere suits him just fine. Interesting times.

All hat and no cattle.

Arizona lawmakers who hoped to build miles of fencing along the border with Mexico using private money are pulling the plug on the project after nearly five years.

Republican backers of the 2011 legislation hoped to collect as much as $50 million in donations to build the fence. About $265,000 was collected.

[…]

Donations dried up less than six months after the state launched a website in 2011 to collect money for the project. The estimated $265,000 raised is well short of the $2.8 million needed to build the first mile of fencing.

Could Obama Be the Democratic Party’s Worst Enemy?

“It’s one of the most important political trends in decades: years and years of losses at the ballot box for the Democratic Party, both in Congress and at the state level across the country.

And when did it start? When Barack Obama became president.”

University Admin: Constitution ‘Offensive, Oppressive, Obscene’

“Yale, Syracuse and Cornell administrators destroyed copies of the U.S. Constitution, referring to the nation’s founding document as “obscene material or proaganda.”

Project Veritas went to the college campuses to hand out miniature copies of the Constitution. After that, a PV journalist went undercover as a student to see how far school administrators would go to be “politically correct.”

The undercover PV journalist approached different school administrators posing as a student who was offended by the act of someone passing out copies of the Constitution on the college campuses.

“It triggered me. I have been trying to deal with it ever since, of why that would be on campus,” the undercover actress told one administrator. “I just see this as such an oppressive document that I was completely shocked to see it on campus.”

She went on to say that the Constitution was discriminatory.

“You will be outraged at what (university officials) do to help one student ‘ease her pain,'” Project Veritas wrote in a statement.

The responses were 100 percent in favor of helping the student ease her distress by destroying the “offensive” copy on the document. ”

Sweden Close to Collapse

“If the wave of migrants keeps coming, in 10-15 years, Swedes will be a minority in their own country. That there is, in fact, an exchange of populations going on, should be clear in any sober assessment.

“The final consequence of… Sweden’s immigration policy is that the economy will collapse — because who is going to pay for it all? And economic breakdowns, once they happen, always happen very fast.” — Lars Hedegaard.

In the last two weeks, more than 1,000 “unaccompanied refugee children” have arrived from Germany via ferry; more than half of them have now vanished and are listed as missing.

For the last few weeks, the central train station in Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, has been overrun with migrants; the volunteers that for the first few days showed up with food, water and clothes now seem to have lost interest.

It will not be long until the Swedes realize that the state will not look after them. The country that just 20 years ago was considered one of the safest and most affluent in the world, is now in danger of becoming a failed state”

Well perhaps Shawn the Swedes should start by getting rid of Lesbian “Bishops” who remove crosses from the Church and then consider encouraging men to marry women in the time honoured manner and raising families by making Swedish babies.

“Carson may no longer be a practicing physician, but he is a full-time profiteer, selling his story in books and speeches and paid handsomely to do so. Good work, if you can get it…Media observers seem to me too focused on Ben Carson the candidate. I remain focused on Ben Carson the enterprise, and apparently, so is he.”

The more illegal immigrants it takes, the deeper Sweden cuts its own veins. A radical social change is underway.

In a generation or two the dream of the Scandinavian paradise will be gone for good. Some alien flag will be hoisted in Stockholm.

You don’t seem to have a limit for spouting Liberal-Left gibberish mikey boy.

How’s your Liberal plan to peddle drugs and porn to the young going?

“What would you know about what I might or might not do for a living”

Everyone on KB with more than two brain cells to rub together knows you are or were a lazy taxpayer funded Labour voting bureaucrat who spent years spewing pompous, puffed up hatred at the Right on KB when you were supposed to be doing the job taxpayers were paying you to do.

Go have a wee nap mikey. Perhaps invite Cha over for a spoon. You both must be exhausted from trying to work out how to string more than one sentence together. 🙂

Kelvin Davis should learn to keep his trap shut rather than make inflammatory statements about the riots. He was making a big deal about the guards arming themselves with guns and batons to take back the buildings.

I had hopes that he was a reasonable person but that’s gone out the window. Just another self serving labour plonker.

2 men steal a shopping trolley and then go riding in it at 80km/h and it all ends in tragedy… who would have thought?

WTF kind of shopping trolley stays in a straight line long enough to build up 80 clicks ? I want to see some danger junkie from say Nitro Circus show how that’s done – speed tested. Maybe they could crack the hundy ~~and crack their undies~~

The Wellington police need to look up cause and effect.
According to them – effect – ‘crime corridor’ at CBD supermarket car park.
Cause ? Obviously the supermarket selling alcohol is the problem.
So therefore – if the supermarket loses its liquor licence – the car park trouble will **magically end**
What’s next if nothing changes ? Police demand supermarket erects three metre tall prison style perimeter fence ? How about some lookout towers ?
Oh dear – my job would be so much better if only bloody alcohol was banned.

Labour MP Kelvin Davis has confronted Prime Minister John Key on the way into Parliament, calling him “gutless” for failing to support the Kiwi detainees in Australia.

Davis told Key: “Prime Minister, you’re being gutless. You need to do more to help the 501s.”

Key brushed past Davis without reacting, while his diplomatic protection team pushed the Labour MP out of the way.
==============================

So Davis says the obvious and Key’s henchmen get physical.
Weasil words from Key about the detainees rights to leave.

What a prick.

Yeah, that alone will get a Kiwi sent to Christmas Island…not!

From the same report:

“Labour MPs then staged a walk-out in protest at Mr Key’s comments. Just three Labour women remained in the House.

Mr Robertson, making a point of order, said he was “deeply offended” and asked that Mr Key withdraw his comment”.

Diddums.

Good to see Key, who did raise the matter with the Aussie PM, speak over the heads of both the Opposition and the media, and say exactly what middle New Zealand has been thinking about this matter for a month.

No, he’s just doing his job as the Labour spokesperson on Corrections.

Plus as 50% of the New Zealand prison population are Maori. and Davis has to be seen to be doing something for “our people” to retain Te Tai Tokerau is 2018…I figure his campaign is fair enough if it will deny Hone Harewira a way back in.
