And the news media wonder why they are loosing followers and readers……

As usual the story about the poor little lady who claims Peter Leech racially abused her is almost certainly lacking the most critical facts.

Firstly being someone of some minor level of maori blood does not enable someone to “do what they liked” – something the Radio NZ has decided not to include in the story.
Second RNZ didnt tell us that she has awful eyewear tastes….
And thirdly this silly young person has probably ruined her job propects for ever and maybe one day she might sue the media for putting her this situation – although personally I think shes
a raving lunatic and deserves all the opprobrium that she gets. If one is too stupid to realise that anything on facebook is likely to go wrong – then maybe she shouldnt be allowed out with out a
minder. And taking on someone like Leech on a public forum indicates a pretty low level of IQ.

Another nail in the ‘Respect for maori views” coffin.

  You’re right. It is missing basic facts. Because she denies ever saying “I can do what I like” but you’re repeating here for the umpteenth time.
  
  PS. What have eyewear tastes got to do with anything? Could you come up with anything else for your virtue signalling? E.g. she wore a terrible shade of purple yesterday? Or she stepped on a crack two days ago?

    Virtue signalling is standing by someone without the facts solely because of her race. You know what I mean? Yeah, you do. Not mentioning someone’s sunglasses, which is kind of just boring.

      Err I’m looking for the facts laddy. And she denies saying “I can do what I like”
      
      “Virtue signalling” was a piss take. Eye wear? I mean….Cmmmmmonnnn!
      
      And, to finish off, as often happens here, you misinterpret my fact finding for “standing by”. Unable to look for the nuances in life. For or against, as it always is here.

        Of course she denies that. She has to place the white guy in the wrong.That’s the whole point of this exercise , including the media coverage. We’re racist you see, we have to change, black lives matter……

    Well – the reason that one shouldnt wear very large lens glasses is that doing so makes your head seem smaller – and whether one likes it or not your subconscious makes decisions about other people before your conscious bit does. Your subconscious part of your brain says “small head – small brain” – and I shouldnt have to continue the reasoning from there – but incase you cant follow – small brain means that the person is at least a bit stupid and possibly worse – ie: an idiot.

    For once I agree with itstricky – it is missing basic facts.
    
    It sounds, and this is guessing on the basis of my own embarrassing misadventures in race relations, as if Leitch made a weak joke which she interpreted literally and, given her literal interpretation, replied to with an indignant but accurate personal statement, whose meaning was in turn misinterpreted; by this time no one was listening carefully or charitably.

      Thank you Dave. Exactly the sort of thing I was trying to stoke conversation over to find what really happened. Of course it gets shut down from me because I don’t toe the uptick line and slam out a slogan about Maori privilege.

    5000 words in the English language and a few more in Maori and she uses two words for most of her ramble.
    
    Out of context at the very least.
    
    It would seem that she had a few vino’s to many and then got all stupid.
    
    No wonder us white men have trouble.

      There is nothing that Bill English can say, or do, that will placate the crusading blubber one; do some counting of the articles on his site that are pro Israel and anti National, almost the entire content. Boring to the point where even where I imagine the sycophants commenting are bored.

        I would hazard a guess that more than 90% of NZers don’t care re Israel/Palestine. He sure has his knickers in a knot about it. And his sycophants are furiously writing English emails and proudly posting them then getting all peevish because English hasn’t replied. He’s on holiday, for goodness sake!

  That’s a bit harsh, Longknives…
  
  One website I looked at just now put her net worth at $US75,000,000.
  
  I doubt the piddling prizemoney (or appearance money?) that was on offer here was a factor in her decision to come to New Zealand.
  
  Far more likely that a chance to see a bit of another country was the biggest factor in her fronting…

        AOR, saw one like that myself recently, I was appalled. Overtook a logging truck into a blind corner and only just got past before a ute came the other way. Caught him (it was a him, in a Falcon XR6) down the other side where it was twisty behind a line of cars, and as soon as it straightened out he just went loony again forcing an oncoming car to brake heavily and take to the verge. I was dropping back to avoid the possible carnage but he made it untouched.
        
        Then about 10 km further on I saw those red & blue flashing lights, and yep, there was our dashing idiot having an earnest discussion with a pair of cops. Probably shopped by one of the trucks he passed and rightly so. Nearly pulled over to advise the cops how badly he had been driving but decided that would probably be overkill. It did look like he was hyped on something, just pulled out into a blind corner and went for it, relying purely on luck.

  Yup – it’s not been special.
  
  But I blame Al Gore – whenever a climate change preacher says something catastrophic is going to happen – it doesn’t.
  
  Snow in Hawaii and no summer in NZ – it must be catastrophic anthropogenic global cooling! Can I be funded too please?

Re the Williams sisters pulling out of the ASB tennis, the cynic in me tells me that they had no real intention of playing anymore – they probably have been paid appearance money, so why play anymore?

This is not the first time this sort of thing happened – some years ago a top ranking woman tennis player – I can’t remember her name – pulled out in a similar situation.

As for the weather, I think that’s bollocks. Surely tennis players must be able to play in all conditions (except rain) – if the wind was that bad surely it would be up to the umpire to call the game off.

And oh, happy new year.

ETA – Longknives – snap.

  That airhead had clearly never heard of Borg,Federer or Nadal.

    To be fair Longknives, Federer and Nadal came to New Zealand well before they became global stars of tennis. That’s quite a difference to Serena Williams, who will be there at the business end of the Australian Open.
    
    ASB Classic organiser Karl Budge did an outstanding job this year with the best women’s field yet. Yes, Caroline Wozniaki is the only “name” player to make the last eight, but you can hardly blame Budge for the weather, the Williams sisters’ exit or the late withdrawls of Ana Ivanovic (retirement), or 2016 champion Sloane Stephens (injury).

  All the players are playing in the same weather.
  
  If anything, bad weather should favour the more experienced/better players who would have played in a wider range of conditions.

With the trend the Herald is using asking certain people what sort of work they did in their Summer holidays before they had a full time job is this trying to justify that people in Politics or Journalism have the qualifications to comment on others employment.Could they also be trying to convince others they have done some hard work in their privileged life.

    From the “They never learn files” from you again Stephie.
    
    You do know that crooked Hillary’s comments about “Deplorables” was one of the two or three most unifying (to the Trump vote) features of the campaign. When you are so crooked, entitled and out of touch that you think writing off half the nation is a ‘winning’ strategy – you prove you are not the right person to sit in the White House.
    
    There is a worldwide industry selling “Deplorable” t-shirts. It’s not an insult it’s a badge of honour!
    
    But thanks – proving for the gazillionth time why the Left’s brand of Alinsky hate fuelled vitriol is rejected again and again and again. National thanks you for keeping them in power against the odds.

        I expect all people to be treated the same and held to the same standards.
        
        I expect everyone to be responsible for their own outcomes, their own failing and their own successes.
        
        Decisions should be based on principles – not contingent on what their race/gender is.
        
        How can that be perceived to be racist?
        
        Real racism/sexism is holding people to different standards based on their grouping.
        
        Real racism is handing out victim cards based on race/gender. That’s incredibly destructive because it tells people they can’t do anything for themselves: eg. the reason there’s a high prevalence of fetal alcohol syndrome in Maori is because of white males.
        
        And it’s not just limited to race/sex it also comes out in the “the little bloke can’t get ahead” mentality of many whites too.
        
        Unless people get held to decent standards and are held responsible for their own actions and outcomes then they have no incentive to improve their lot and this destroys them – as well as society.

  DARPA told me last night the wurzenflugels are having to work overtime to compensate for a batch of defective simians and they’re not handling the load very well.
  
  Apparently ISIS managed to infiltrate the science team and put a virus into the software that they use for the gene splicing resulting in a particularly nasty DNA sequence being inadvertently introduced into the general population. Apparently all they want to do now is eat bananas and type allahu akbar all day long.
  
  The bank of wurzenflugels processing the progressive strand of thought have been taken temporarily offline because a conflict between them and the ISIS ones could damage the flux capacitor, ripping a hole in the space-time continuum and creating a mini-black hole over DARPA HQ.
  
  Even though Obama said he didn’t care they asked Trump who instructed them to ‘save stephie at all costs, the experiment continues.’

        Maggy W, thank you . A five star review of the book here ,,
        
        Review on http://www.snowbeachpublications.com/…
        A Gem. Brilliant. I couldn’t put it down. Pamuk never disappoints me – and once more he hasn’t. Through the daily life of ordinary characters, the author has the amazing talent of describing the social and political history of Turkey and how the city of Istanbul has changed during the twentieth century. He endears us to his characters, migrants from villages, who seek their fortune in Istanbul – a theme that remains contemporary. His depiction of urban sprawling and shanty towns reminds us of many other cities…”

Elite German police commandos stormed a refugee home in Berlin on Tuesday evening to seize a man said to be a supporter of Christmas market truck killer Anis Amri.

A Tunisian man, aged 26, suspected of aiding Amri on his Isis-backed murder mission was seized on the grounds that ‘he knew of the attack plans and possibly helped Anis Amri,’ according to prosecutors.

Kaileshan Thanabalasingham, the refugee advocate who lies ill in hospital, is described in the Hooerald as a “close friend” of lawyer Deborah Manning.

She is or has been a senior executive of the Labour Party, and was Zaoui’s lawyer as well as Thanabalasingham’s.

Three family members died in the fire that put Kaileshan Thanabalasingham in hospital.

There’s more to come on this incident, and clarification of whether Kaileshan Thanabalasingham is the same Kaileshan Thanabalasingham deported from Canada for gang activities.

Could these burglars qualify as cannibals?

They’ve stolen meat from a Waikato home freezer. But with it they’ve taken the placenta of two twins, the householder was storing there.

What do people store placentas for? Can they be used as a source for stem cell replacement or something? Or just for voodoo rituals?

  Some people want to bury the placenta and might store it until they have the right spot.

    For Maori (Dad is Maori, according to the article) the placenta is important and it is often buried at the family cemetery.
    The obvious culprits are others who know about Dad’s hunting prowess, given that a special trip would have had to be made to such an out-of-the-way place.

Mexico does not like it. The Trump effect:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/L/LT_MEXICO_FORD?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-01-04-14-45-38

Even as the country is being rocked by rowdy nationwide protests against a Jan. 1 gasoline price hike, the Ford news led the front pages of Mexico’s most influential newspapers on Wednesday, and they tied the development directly to President-elect Donald Trump.

“Trump leaves Mexico without 3,600 jobs,” read the headline on El Universal. “Ford’s braking jolts the peso,” said Reforma, referring to the Mexican currency’s nearly 1 percent slump following the news.

  Trump seems to be threatening to slap levies on foreign-produced goods entering the USofA…
  
  But that works both ways – I would imagine that the US is going to find it very hard to sell product overseas, especially if affected countries slap similarly-harsh import levies on US-produced goods…

As I’ve been telling you for years, the US has been supplying weapons to ISIS. Now Turkey’s complaining about TOWs being used against them in Iraq. Just wait till those MANPADS hit the US and Europe.

We have seen various commentators noting that under the guise of military assistance to the Kurdish Peshmerga, the Obama administration is actively assisting various extremist groups in Syria by secretly supplying them to with all sorts of weapons, along with the so-called “advisers” in a bid to topple the legitimate Syrian government.

It’s no coincidence that after the liberation of Aleppo, Syrian troops found stockpiles of weapons and explosives manufactured in the US, Germany and Bulgaria, including a large amount of anti-tank missiles.

While the Aleppo operation has been a turning point in the Syrian armed conflict, the White House is still in a hurry to provide maximum support to the so-called “moderate opposition” in Syria, but now it’s clear for pretty much everyone that Washington is assisting ISIS. Last December alone Turkish bloggers spotted the passage of three large cargo ships through the Bosporus Strait, presumably carrying arms for the Syrian rebels. In particular, in mid-December a freighter Karina Danica left Bulgarian shore, while heading to Saudi Jeddah with weapons on board, reports Bosphorus Observer on Twitter. This data is confirmed by a specialized tracking site known as MarineTraffic. It is a well known fact that the freighter Karina Danica is a Danish vessel, chartered by the American company Cherming, which is the official supplier of non-standard NATO weapons for the US “allies” in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. It’s curious that the Bulgarian Vazovski Machine-Building Plant that sells weapons to Cherming, increased its sales by 12 times in 2016, making a profit of 170 million dollars.

What makes this whole arms supplies story awkward is the scandal that broke out in 2015, when the Chairman of the Iraqi Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Security, Hakim Zamili asked PM Haider al-Abadi to intervene immediately to stop the 300 million dollars worth ammunition deal that with Romanian weapons being delivered to ISIS directly, while financed by one of the neighboring countries. In 2016, the director of the Conflict Armament Research, James Bevan stated that the weapons from Eastern Europe that were officially designated for the so-called “moderate opposition” are falling in extremist hands.

The decision to supply anti-government troops in Syria with all sorts of weapons, including MANPADS, that was signed by President Barack Obama on December 23, may lead to the further escalation of the Syrian conflict and new victims.

Perhaps Michelle Boag is showing her age when she uses the term ‘coffee coloured’ to describe the potty mouthed female.

‘Take a pinch of white man
Wrap it up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of Red Indian boy

Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees
If you lump it all together
Well, you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh, what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all it’s got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee colored people by the score’

These are the original lyrics, but in the ‘cleansed’ version ‘yellow chinkees’ are removed.

Re: ‘… Multiculturist – separate but equal in rights’.

Ummm, actually no. A ‘Multiculturist’ has actually got MORE rights (especially when they remain ‘separate’), than the ‘born-in the country’ inhabitants, as is being repeatedly proven in the USA, Canada, Europe, Britain and, to a lesser extent, even Australasia.

‘Equality’ in those situations would seem to be a carefully fostered myth…

    Griff, the entire West Coast (Washington, Oregon, California) was virtually ignored by the Trump campaign as a lost-cause…
    
    Most of Clinton’s vaunted popular vote ‘win’ came from those states, and specifically California.
    
    Trump cleverly focussed his attention on the (comparatively few) states that could have swung either way – Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
    Wisconsin – and won the Electoral College vote because he won ’em all…

  Manolo , I know your attention span is that of a fruit fly but do try and read this ,
  
  “Even Glenn Greenwald And His Fans Should Fear the Trump-Putin Alliance”
  
  “ On December 19th Glenn Greenwald went on Fox News to do what he and his Intercept-libertarian acolytes have done since Trump’s victory: minimize and deny the evidence that Russia was responsible for the hacking of Democratic officials that helped deliver the election to Trump. But why the protestations?
  Contrary to the assertions of many Intercept fans, the evidence that Russia was responsible is as damning as it can be in cases of international cyber-espionage. It’s true that it’s possible, as Matt Taibbi suggests, that blaming Russia is a bogus political play. But the Obama Administration has been nothing if not overly cautious in this arena, and flailing desperately and deceitfully isn’t this president’s style. Numerous intelligence services have confirmed Russian involvement, detailing as much evidence as they can without compromising their methods. The New York Times has its own comprehensive report. Russian intelligence services tried to cultivate Donald Trump for years. Donald Trump explicitly asked Russia to hack 30,000 of Clinton’s emails during a July press conference that turned out to be the last of his campaign–showing that at least at the time he believed Russia was behind the Watergate-style theft of private email data from Democrats. And we know that Putin has been openly backing Trump while mocking the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign.
  In light of all this, continually and actively denying Russian involvement as Greenwald and crew have done goes beyond Taibbi’s healthy skepticism of government officials and smacks of ideological fervor. Even the Trump campaign has stopped questioning the unanimous judgment of American intelligence services, and moved on to a “who cares?” approach that is already falling apart under pressure and scrutiny. Pretty much only the Russians themselves, the conspiracy theorists at WorldNetDaily and the Intercept libertarians are actively objecting to the evidence against Putin….”

By Mike Treen / January 5, 2017 /

I am convinced that is a significant reason fro the high levels of suicide in this country and the rise in absolute poverty reflected in levels of homelessness and the growing numbers of people accessing foodbanks.
Share Print Email

A coroner’s inquest has revealed how WINZ has adopted a punitive culture that led directly to the recent suicide of one of the people it was meant to be helping.

celebrated former beneficiary Paula Bennet was the minister in charge at the time and should be help responsible.

Stuff reports:

Monthly quotas were imposed at the Ministry of Social Development to prosecute beneficiaries, an inquest into the death of a woman accused of benefit fraud has heard.

“We had to get one prosecution per month. We had to get $30,000 of debt to be recovered per month,” a former MSD investigator told the inquest into the death of Wendy Shoebridge. “Four cases had to be cleared per month.”

Shoebridge, a 41-year-old mother, was found dead in Lower Hutt on April 3, 2011.

The day before, she opened a letter saying she was to be referred for prosecution over an alleged $22,000 benefit fraud. After her death, that amount fell to about $5500.

Shoebridge was on the path to recovery after troubles including severe depression, coroner Anna Tutton heard, and the investigator did not want to prosecute her.

But he said a higher-ranking employee disagreed, and he was not well-placed to defy management.

“My manager told me that just because [she] had threatened suicide in the past doesn’t mean she will try again.

“I was given a direction. Unfortunately it was the wrong direction.”

Because of existing concerns for Shoebridge, he hoped to hand-deliver the letter to her, but said this too was ruled out.

Accessing support from WINZ is a nightmare. There has been a massive drop in the mumber of people accessing benefits as a percentage of the working age population that is not matched by similar drops in official unemployment levels.

I am convinced that is a significant reason fro the high levels of suicide in this country and the rise in absolute poverty reflected in levels of homelessness and the growing numbers of people accessing foodbanks.

A culture change is needed.

A small step in the right direction would be to abolish the difference between the single rate of benefit and the reduced rate you get if you are living in a relationship with someone else.

The next step would be to increase the rate someone with children gets on the jobseekers benefit to be the same as the sole parent benefit.

The current discriminatory Working for Families system should be changed to allow all low-income families access to the same level of support as those in work.

WINZ would no longer have an excuse to be hunting people down because a boyfriend has stayed too many times overnight. The punitive moralistic WINZ police could find better jobs to do.

The more accessing welfare support when needed is seen as a right the better off we all will be as a society,

  And nothing here about personal responsibility?
  If you know the rules when being given taxpayer funding to live on, then its incumbent upon you to live by those rules. It might not be a big deal to you WikiB, but it is to me and 1000’s of other taxpayers. What the lefties all forget that this money doesn’t grow on trees and Winz have a moral and legal duty to make sure it goes to the right law abiding people who are more deserving than those that think it is their right regardless of what they do and how they live.

The non moving truck parked outside the White House has been found to contain nothing more than bricks suitable for building walls sourced direct from China. Churchill liked making them, so why not El Misere Trump ? The driver strikes a remarkable resemblance to a Mr J. Key.

  Dear dear Fletch
  in science you publish your results in a peer reviewed journal.
  What you read on blogs is not evidence its opinion and deos not refute a peer reviewed scientific study .
  Here are some of the studies confirming the consensus

  Here is the entire list of reputable scientific organizations that dispute climate change .

  The list of disputing scientists can be found on wiki

  Yes …
  
  The source of the purloined emails was “not the Russian government and not a state party,” explained the fugitive holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy since 2012, as Hannity fawned over his unsubstantiated claims. Assange’s line—which naturally leaves open the door to a third-party source between Wikileaks and Moscow, what spies term a “cut-out”—is that he won’t say who the source was, but it definitely wasn’t the Russians. Since the evidence for Wikileaks serving as a front for Putin’s intelligence service for years is now overwhelming to anybody even marginally acquainted with espionage, there’s no need to take any of Assange’s absurd claims at face value.

      That’s not what he said – read more carefully. Also, the original paragraph has a link to another piece with detailed information of what he means.
      
      You’re pretty bad at this debunking thing. Part of what is required is reading of the linked source and even the source after that before shooting your mouth off.
      
      Also the US doesn’t have to go to war with Russia – they just have to stop being walked over.

        Actually I mistyped. The perils of typing a comment when your kids are rushing you to go to the Luge.
        I understand how cut outs work but there is no evidence that Russia is using one to them give files to Wikileaks.
        I read the 13 page report from the CIA. 11 pages was on the process of hacking and phishing(interesting actually) whilst the first two were just supposition and I note they refer to very old malware.
        Also of note is the rather large Disclaimer at the front of the report…
        So, so far no real actual evidence that Russia did it.
        We will see what else comes up.
        Have to say Assanges body language shows he isn’t lying.
        Personally I reckon people have tried to hack but the DNC ‘leak’ is actually a whistleblower, whilst Podesta was a Phishing win.
        Just a hunch though. Would like to know the truth.

Donald Trump’s Soft Spot for Russia Could Be His Political Undoing ~ John Schindler

Trump may soon learn that you really can’t fool all the people, all the time. One year ago, I reported extensively on Hillary’s emails, based on leaks from angry members of the IC who wanted her to pay a price for exposing our secrets to foreign intelligence agencies. I stated then, and many times after, that #EmailGate would […] ultimately sink Clinton. There were many doubters and Hillary looked like a shoo-in, but I was right. Now I want to state that, unless he comes clean and starts accepting reality soon, Trump’s inexplicable gullibility about the Russians will prove to be his political undoing.

    The turn to faith in middle-age, after some sort of life crisis, is a staple of conversion and reversion stories. In his last years in power, Saddam Hussein began talking a lot about Islam openly, which was dismissed as political theater in the West, but in retrospect seems to have been at least somewhat sincere. Did Putin opt for Orthodoxy after a mid-life crisis? I am an Orthodox believer myself and, having carefully watched many video clips of Putin in church and at religious events, I can state without reservation that Putin knows what to do. His religious act — kissing icons, lighting candles, interacting with clerics — is flawless, so Putin is either a sincere Orthodox or he has devoted serious study to looking and acting like one.

A blogger on Red State responds to the latest celebrity video, which presumes to tell members of Congress how to vote.

These are people who live in upscale communities, behind gated walls, in the shadow of bodyguards and personal assistants. Even the ones who think they are living “regular” lives by eschewing the protectors and gated communities are still afforded a level of privilege that the rest of us can only dream of. They buy what they want, vacation where they want, and eat where and what they want. They don’t have to bother themselves with the same small, everyday decisions as the average American struggling to make ends meet.

They are completely detached from real life in this country, and yet are unable to censor themselves and their every fleeting political thought as if what they think matters more than what we think. This video is the perfect example of the disconnect between celebrity culture and their consumers.

You live in a fantasy world. I mean, you guys can’t even understand the purpose of the Electoral College and why that “popular vote” is meaningless in the world of American politics. My daughter is nine and even she gets it. That’s probably because she doesn’t live in an echo chamber with hair and make-up available at a moment’s notice.

You’re embarrassing yourselves and alienating fans. This latest video is particularly pathetic because it spits in the face the very people who buy your movies and watch your shows. Congress is an elected body. Who elected a near supermajority in both Houses? THE VOTERS.

It’s your job to look pretty and entertain me. Literally.

As a fan I find it increasingly difficult to buy tickets to your movies and watch your shows when you are so blatant about your disdain for my point of view and condescension about my intelligence. You don’t know more than I do. You don’t know more than my neighbor does. You aren’t smarter than us. You’re just richer. And if we’re to believe what you’re telling us about Trump, money makes you stupid.

Please stop being stupid and get back to entertaining us. It’s all you’re there for. If you want your job to mean more, quit and find a new line of work in the real world. Otherwise, shut up and act.

What a load of crap from Susan Devoy – casual racism. So you might comment that someone has a rather darkish skin – now its casual racism. I was in whats called Te Awa at The Base shopping centre in Hamilton the other day. What I did notice (yes I know this will offend lots….) was that the crowd was a majority of darker skin. “golly” I thought – “this place is getting dark”. Now I blame my eyes for noticing the matter and maybe I should get them attended to so that I only see black and white (Oh my god – another racist remark!)
What we need is more definite and positive racism. Both positive and negative racism.

Ever wonder why the Conservative Party don’t clamp down on tax dodging?

An investigation by the Guardian has revealed close links between a Conservative MP and two companies based in a tax haven.

Nadhim Zahawi has financial ties to Balshore Investments and Berkford Investments, which operate from a lawyers’ office in Gibraltar. He does not declare a connection to either company on the MPs’ register of interests.

Balshore Investments holds shares worth over £20m in YouGov, the polling firm co-founded by Zahawi in 2000. YouGov company documents have referred to Balshore as “the family trust of Nadhim Zahawi’s family”.

Under parliamentary rules MPs have to declare any shareholding valued at more than £70,000, including those owned through a trust. The Stratford-upon-Avon MP did not answer questions over whether he was a beneficiary of a trust and said that everything had been correctly declared in the MPs’ register of interests.

Asked if he had received any payments from Balshore, Zahawi said: “All of my business interests were properly dealt with and declared from 2000. That includes my family.”

On at least one occasion, Zahawi took out a loan from YouGov. When he was due to repay the loan, the money was removed from a dividend due to be paid to Balshore.

A 2005 company document noted that “a portion of the ‘A’ dividend was attributable to Balshore Investments Limited, an overseas company, and has been applied to reduce the current account balance of Nadhim Zahawi”.

According to Balshore’s company filings in Gibraltar, its shares are held by T&T Nominees, and one of the company’s directors is Nadhim Zahawi’s father. T&T Nominees also holds the shares of a second company called Berkford Investments. In 2011 Berkford Investments loaned Zahawi money so that the MP and his wife could buy a livery yard in Warwickshire.

The transformation from Italian to primitive savage:
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-italy-islamic-state-trial-idUSKBN1481YF

An Italian woman who traveled to Syria two years ago proclaiming her support for Islamic State was sentenced in absentia on Monday to nine years in jail on terrorism-related charges, a court ruled.

Maria Giulia Sergio, 29, converted to Islam in 2007 and moved to Syria with her Albanian-born husband in 2014. She later urged her parents and sister to join them and sign up to the ‘jihad’ or holy war announced by Islamic State rulers.

“Dad, drag mum here by the hair. She doesn’t have the right to any opinions,” she said in a call home that was tapped by police. “I can’t wait to die as a martyr,” she said in another call, predicting that the holy war would one day reach Rome.

  Multiculturalism is a wonderful thing, only a white supremacist bigot would dare suggest otherwise.

      Poe’s Law states
      Without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.
      
      Is jizzed hands because it feels itself a Poe?
      Or is it really as stupid as it acts?

Have the distant earthquakes to the south buggered up Auckland’s roads?

TVNZ is rattling on about children “falling through the cracks” ?

I hope it isn’t a long plunge.

Plod is talking about variable speed limits on the roads. This is more than what is used at the moment I think? Whats the chances of it been another revenue gathering exercise and excuse to lower the drink drive limit lower again to justify the zero limit? Plods all pissed with the fatalities on the road and needs some excuses!

  Yeah proof is in over last few years accident and death stats that police targeting of marginal speeders and drinkers has no noticeable benefit (just makes everyone’s lives a little less good). It is obviously the outrageously fast and drunk who are a problem, and their behaviour hasn’t been modified by law/policing change.
  
  Now rationally given such evidence they should revert to old speed and drink drive limits that were just as safe and more permissive. But being irrationally dogmatic dickheads they will never back down even when proven wrong.

  Was driving in a 100km/hr area this afternoon and the car I was following was doing 80 at tops, would brake on the slightest curve in the road and randomly brake when cars approached from the other direction. There was a further 10 cars behind me.
  
  Mr Policeman who is the biggest risk to road users. This fuck wit above or someone doing 120 on a perfectly straight, dry and wide road
