Obviously shopped.

They wouldn’t be drinking cups of tea.

    But he doesn’t drink. My wife started laughing when he made that remark during an interview. She is still bewildered that people believe him :p

No wonder he didn’t want to release who was on the board as there is some pretty big egos there and could they all sit in the same room together.

If only you could convince the other members of NZF on the first day of parliament to all wear Winnie masks. One can dream.

    Speaking for myself, I don’t want PetersNZF to be in coalition with National.
    So what’s your point?

Winston has secretly been working on introducing cloning as his first policy decision. Work has progressed very well on duplicating his favourite person.

The man is a complete joke and would be very funny if he didn’t have the future of our country in his slippery hands.

  A Joke? do you mean like the two jokes who propped up the NAtional PArty, Peter Dunn and David Seymore. Now a more useless pair than that would be hard to find. Unfortunately their slippery hands were what held the National Party together for three years. The National Party would dance with the Devi if they can stay in power.

    So if Labour go into coalition with NZF, will you accuse them of the same?

    All we need is another Labour troll. What is it with KB that it attracts them like bees around a honey pot? Maybe it’s the novelty of free speech. Don’t overstay your welcome pal.

    Until the Dirty Politics brigade and the back- room black- ops boys can figure out yet another way to try to destroy Peters. God they must be getting frustrated he keeps on popping back up

  That’s a bit optimistic, to paraphrase David Cameron, “if they ever got into power it would take them about a year to work out who would sit where”.

I am still amazed anyone could have been so dumb as to vote for him, especially Nats who may have given us a Labour government.
When people ask why anyone voted for Trump, we need only point to Winston and wonder how such a snake oil merchant has lasted so long in NZ politics.

  To be fair the electorate has to have a protest vote section and there are concerns around immigration and perversely Maori issues that Notional refuses to address.
  
  Had they they might have got over 50 %!

  I agree, I would be less concerned if they were just holding us to ransom… at least then we would know where we stood.

  Here is another classic that surely resembles the NZ First Board – its Monty Python and all the Bruces

  A better one – if I could find it would be Fred Dagg and all the Trev’s

The longer this circus goes on, the more I dont care who he chooses. Life will go on. Whoever the poison dwarf chooses to drink from the poison chalice will live to regret it.
I sort of want him to choose labour so it fucks them, gweens and NZF and that the tooth fairy goes into the books as the worst labour PM ever, and then she can piss off to the UN and we never get to see those teeth again.

  I have actually got to that stage as well Mickey.
  
  I never watch the TV news so at least I won’t get to see those teeth. In fact I would rather not see them again ever

    I have obviously seen still photos of Jacinda but never watch tv so I have never seen her in action, so to speak. In fact I don’t recall hearing audio from her either so I would not recognise her voice.

      you are a lucky person srylands………the tooth fairy is truely hideous in real life, in full noise and full colour ! I have had the mis-fortune to share a meal with her, OMG, it was un-f**ken believable. When she drinks from a glass her teeth hit the glass before she drinks and it clinks. Really off-putting. She also has to chew with her mouth open which reminds me of the scene in star wars episode 4, when our heroes are trapped in the garbage compactor on the death star….the food is trying to get out while the walls are closing in.

        What about the scene from alien when the toothy monster leaps out of the poor buggers chest with KY jelly dripping from its jaws.
        
        We could be looking at many re-runs of this if Labour get the nod from King Winston.

The coalition negotiations would have been well and truly wrapped up now if they had removed all the mirrors from Parliament – then there would have been nothing to distract Winston.

winston is like “cat” in the red dwarf,minus the ciggies and booze,just can’t walk past a mirror or even a reflection on a glass door.
the story about him ironing his socks is actually true,and remember the press gallery decades ago nicknamed him Luigi because he told people he was of Italian heritage ,nothing has changed.

Move over IMF..
There sits the font of all economic knowledge.

The only problem is that when Peters’ “Board” gets its way NZ will go from being a (the?) World-wide top economic performer to the crap heap.

  How can anyone operating under a legally constituted system be holding anyone to ransom?. The reality is more people voted for other Parties than the Nats or the Nats would be in Government now. Suck it up!

Did anyone see the interview with Bill English on the am show on three this morning? (it’s available on the am show site). The body language didn’t look good, like he’s on the outer there and trying to remind Peters who got the most votes.

Appalling process and bringing out the worst behaviour in Peters. He’s already backed down on the maori seat referendum, failed to meet his own self imposed deadline, is behaving like the PM already. Baarfff… Time to find another country to live in till this passes. Even though the left are not planning any tax increases they will wreck the country permanently with that student allowance bribe.

The whole system was rigged in favour of Labour/Greens allowing such early voting and also coralling naive students at the university booths.

That 1996 photo of the swaggering NZF Tight Five in sunglasses holding the country to ransom, will always remain in my mind. Can’t seem to find a copy.
