South Africa also has 4 way stops. Much safer for these types of intersections.

  Stop at a 4-way stop in South Africa?? Nobody does that for fear of carjackings.
  
  South Africa also has its share of uncontrolled intersections too – mainly outside of the cities.
  
  But the worst part about South Africa is that only something like 30% of the drivers on the road have the correct licenses, so all those lines on the road and signs and stuff are just cute pictures that don’t mean much. Even the numbers for truck drivers are only 50% or so. There is such a shortage of qualified truck drivers that that companies are prepared to put unlicensed drivers in their trucks.

    I visited Ethiopia a few years ago, and truck accidents there are an everyday occurrence. The locals refer to truck drivers there as al Queda because they kill thousands of Ethiopians every year! The first piece of advice we were given was never to follow a truck up a hill because there was a better than even chance it would run out of steam and roll backwards.

      For the price of the ‘reno’ on the rented property, you could buy a modern villa
      “a six-bedroom, 16-room modern villa in Addis Ababa is selling for 8 million Birr, less than half what the Government spent on someone else’s property.”

        No ztev – actually I had family who were at a school run by a missionary organisation, and we went to spend Christmas with them.
        
        Actually, it was two Christmases; the normal western observance on 25th December which was just another day for most Ethiopians, then the Ethiopian Christmas which that year was around the 5th of January.
        
        And because Ethiopia operates on a different calendar from most of the rest of the world, as soon as we arrived in Addis Ababa, we stepped back from 2007 to 1999!

  I will throw in a new twist – neither vehicle has ‘right of way’ so ‘road courtesy prevails’ which is how old editions of the Road Code put it (I do not know about later editions).
  At uncontrolled intersections a car going straight ahead has to give way to a car on its right and a car turning right has to give way to all other traffic. So neither car should proceed unless its driver is sure the other car will slow down or stop as appropriate. The ‘four stops’ on the Abel Smith/ Cuba intersection reinforces this. Having to stop gives an opportunity to get the brain into gear , although caution and courtesy shown by most drivers makes this intersection a pain. Council has looked at lights etc but the issue is in the ‘too hard’ basket.
  Abel Smith Street is a peculiar beast – it is nowadays blocked to through traffic at Willis Street and at the other end a right turn into Taranaki Street is effectively forbidden. Interestingly there is no red ‘no right turn’ arrow there but a left arrow road marking, a blue ‘turn left’ sign and a traffic island effectively pronounces ‘thou shalt not turn right’ or for that matter drive straight across Taranaki Street into the Z Service Station.

    Your first sentence in the second para is so right peterwn.
    
    When I got my drivers licence at 15 and a few months on 5 October 1961 this was known as the Right Hand Rule and you had to know it. It was basic common sense and worked well.
    
    Give way to traffic on your right and when turning right give way to all traffic.
    
    Of course there were hardly any roundabouts, stop signs or give way signs then.

      Those were the days. The biggest grizzle the local traffic officer had was people turned up for a driving test and did not know the road code (he asked 10 or so questions including the right hand rule). So if you had swotted your road code you were off to a good start. He transferred from council to MOT employment got disillusioned with MOT, chucked it in and purchased a dairy.

    The actual rules are pretty much irrelevant.
    
    Anyone with any sense drives cautiously and is always prepared to take evasive action even when they are in the right.
    
    The old adage applies: “I had the right of way, but he had a truck.”

        Could the Stephies be trolling for the mosque as some sort of penance – perhaps for eating bacon, or for looking at Muslim girls when they know its swimming pool and beach Kaffir boobs they are allowed to leer at?

        @Salacious crumb
        Last year I challenged stephieboy about his use of this term as he had written that I had jumped on the alt-right band wagon.
        
        I linked to the Wikipedia entry on alt-right and saw that the term is used to cover labels such as white supremacist, neo-fascists and neo-nazis.
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right
        
        I then demanded an apology from him as it should have been obvious from what I had previously written on KB, that I have married into a refugee (displaced persons) family that suffered deprivation and prejudice during the Nazi regime.
        
        Stephieboy needs to be challenged each time he throws the label alt-righter (code for neo-Nazi) around on this blog.

        I agree; pseudo language like this need to be challenged as it seems to be standard operating procedure for the post modernist left to simply label rather than debate. Then again, logic is seldom their ally.

  Basically (to the shrieking SJW brigade) because Kirk Douglas is an ‘Old White Man’ this means he is probably a Rapist…

      Do you mean like Massey University’s DOCTOR Cat Pause, Fat activist?
      
      http://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/expertise/profile.cfm?stref=402040
      Cat Pausé is a Fat Studies scholar whose research focuses on the effects of fat stigma on the health and well-being of fat individuals.
      Cat Pausé is the lead editor of Queering Fat Embodiment (Ashgate). A Fat Studies Researcher, her research focuses on the effects of spoiled identities on the health and well-being of fat individuals.
      Her work appears in scholarly journals such as Human Development, Feminist Review……
      
      Another Septic (yank) coming to NZ to tell us what ‘we should do and think’
      Or maybe the yanks have not stooped as low as Massey Agricultural College to use educational funds for this lark.
      
      Dr Pausé is a senior lecturer in Human Development at Massey University, and she told Nights she is usually the fattest person the room.
      “I’m not just fat, I’m super fat.”
      
      Parents don’t let your kids go to Massey. It’s just, well, a weird joint.
      
      These are the comments from the realtively new Vice Chancellor who began in 2017.
      https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/90446730/new-vicechancellor-sets-her-agenda-for-massey-university
      Jan Thomas:
      ….”I became interested in the power of a university to transform people’s lives, either through research, solving some of the real big problems, or through education… and to have a broader influence.”
      A growing distrust toward facts and reason only spurs her on.
      Many people have watched with concern as experts have been dismissed in situations such as the lead-up to the Brexi’ (sic) vote.
      There are worries, too, that American President Donald Trump and much of the populace are operating in an “alternative facts” universe. …..
      
      Great, another Jill Foreigner here to pollute the minds of our yoof.
      Irony alert for yet another university-cloistered sanctuary from reality.
      They are not exclusive to England although that is a Petri dish.

Another fat chick with an agenda and against When I was a kid growing up fat kids were few and far between, now the skinny kids are becoming outnumbered. I would’ve thought that being fat is not something to be particularly proud of. I sense this one is dangerous as well and will fill willing minds with a lot of crap. She needs to see a Nutrionist pretty bloody quick to work out why she’s obese. Reminds me of a well-fed Angus bull. And upper arms like ham hocks. I personally find these women revolting. And fat guys ralso do my head in. I’d love to take a look inside her fridge! How many will she also convert to Lesbianism as I get the feeling she could well be of that persuasion.

Wellington CC has blown the social housing budget with 10 (or 20) years of commitments to go.

Wellington’s $400 million 20 year social housing budget has been spent in the first 10 years. $220 million from the taxpayer and the rest of the planned spending coming from social housing rental income at 70% of market rates.

Wellington spend on social housing is not allowed to use ratepayer funds but sounds like they are softening the ratepayers up to do just that, blaming their poor planning and budgeting.

Actually they didn’t say poor planning and budgeting – they blame “an increase in insurance, construction and GST costs” for spending a 20 year budget in 10 years, with commitments still to be fulfilled.

And are they now softening up the ratepayer for rate increases? Sounds like it.

Councillor Brian Dawson, who holds the social development portfolio, said ……

“The Ship process was designed to help maintain the independence of city housing from general rates. I believe being able to completely do that remains an open question.”

Time for the Audit Office to have a good look.

  If I was Justin Lester I’d try and pin the blame on the National government; they were in power for nine of those ten years so it must have been their fault. Heaven forbid that anyone would put it down to sloppy (mis)management by the council.

    So we are just 2.5 months into a new government and the old government wants an inquiry into ‘rates’
    
    They did what about it for 9 years ?

      And what about the noise from the opposition benches during that time on this issue? It was positively deafening. Just like their criticism of ex-Labour party mayors selling off assets.

  Housing is not the responsibility of ratepayers nor taxpayers. If people cannot plan their lives and finances, why in hell should hard-working taxpayers/ratepayers be required to fund their ineptness?

    I agree, except there will always be some – a few – who need extra help, temporary or permanent. So we have the Accommodation Supplement (billions paid by taxpayers) for just that purpose.
    
    That AS is firmly rooted in the national psyche and budget now so ain’t going nowhere.
    
    The original intention of the AS was to solve an income problem, not a housing problem, by putting all rentals whether public or private on the same footing. Labour got rid of it for state hosuing, which is now cheaper for tenants than the AS hence increased demand.
    
    Of course there are prospective tenants who have two shows of getting a private rental due to poor teancy or credit records. I don’t count those among the few that need extra help, nor those that need temporary help that turns into cheap rent for life.

    Socialist councillors get their hands on someone else’s money (the Ratepayers) and just can’t help but to spend it Willy billy on feel good projects which have no cost benefit (cycle ways, ballet) or things that are the responsibility of central government (housing, unemployment)

      If principal ratepayers only, voted in local body elections, these troughing, leeching, socialist, agenda-driven, fiscal illiterates would not be elected to office. This would also flow onto a better standard of council employee.

      “I concur with Abraham Lincoln”
      
      “I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
      
      I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.

        rc, I trust you concur with the too. Source please for your quote ,
        
        Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature — opposition to it is in his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks, and throes, and convulsions must ceaselessly follow. Repeal the Missouri Compromise — repeal all compromises — repeal the declaration of independence — repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.
        
        –October 16, 1854 Speech at Peoria
        
        The Autocrat of all the Russias will resign his crown, and proclaim his subjects free republicans sooner than will our American masters voluntarily give up their slaves.
        
        –August 15, 1855 Letter to George Robertson
        
        As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.
        
        –ca. August 1, 1858 Fragment on Democracy
        
        We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe — nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
        
        –September 17, 1859 Speech in Cincinnati, Ohio
        
        We know, Southern men declare that their slaves are better off than hired laborers amongst us. How little they know, whereof they speak! There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us … Free labor has the inspiration of hope; pure slavery has no hope.

        Like that bit: “Free labour has the inspiration of hope. Pure slavery has no hope”.
        Apparently the real reason Lincoln originally opposed freeing the slaves was because he believed they would never be able to forgive the terrible crimes committed against them.

  How can the increase of gst have been an issue
  The entity I assume is gst registered so any costs incurring gst would be refunded, and that as the majority of income is from residential rents this form of income does not attract gst so how can this be a problem ?

  The situation is getting pretty silly.
  
  Politely asking a woman if she wants to go out for drink can easily be twisted into some huge sexual harassment transgression.
  
  And if you to end up actually going on a date and getting in the mood for some loving then you better have your lawyers on call to come draw up some consent paperwork so you don’t end up on some rape charges because Ms decides to change her mind 5 hours after having sex.
  
  I’m really, really glad I’m not in my 20s trying to navigate that minefield. And even back in the 1980s I was bloody careful who I got involved with.

While they are kept busy telling the public it all a game of lies by National it not helping them do the things that they have promised to do and are way behind in their targets already.

    You cant shelve road projects that were just election fodder.
    
    In 2012 national offered Rotorua a new bypass from the airport to city- with lovely plans and all- after the election they cancelled it.
    
    LOL.. Come 2017 National offers Rotorua a 4 lane version of the existing road from airport to city…. not any plans this time as it was a panic move just weeks before voting.
    
    None of these roads fix the real problem of the logging trucks from the south having to go through suburban roads before getting on road to Mt Maunganui.

    No they claim that when the weather is colder, that it’s an extreme event caused by climate change. Warming is ‘climate change’, cooling is a ‘climate change’ extreme event.
    
    The trougher’s can’t lose.
    
    As for the suggestion that the Thames coastal highway washout was ‘climate change’, show me one time since the country was formed millions of years ago where the coastline hasn’t been eroded by wind, sea, and tides and I might, possibly, concede that the road needed better maintenance, but nothing to do with climate change.

        Want to ask Thames mayor and ex National MP Sandra Goudie about that.
        
        Should an emergency occur, your Mayor or Regional Chairperson may declare a Civil Defence emergency. Once a declaration has been made, the Civil Defence Controller and the police have the legal authority to:
        
        Evacuate buildings and places

  I read somewhere that the changing weather is caused by there being four seasons, with one dedicated to hot weather and another to cold. I’m not sure if this is true, but if it is perhaps the answer is to have only one season; that way we can be assured of a comfortable temperature all year round.

    I was like toadally convinced when she like said: “I can’d (Can’t?) even think right now”
    I just like knew she was telling the truth!
    There is evidence that the inabiliddy to think is a common occurrence in Jolene’s life.

    extracts (2):-
    ….Our hyper-sensitive social media culture lends itself perfectly to these kinds of non-controversies, where something as simple as a badly worded tweet can, within minutes, direct a storm of abuse and online bullying toward an individual. The end result can range from a person being forced to issue a public apology for their opinion, to losing their job — or even taking their own life….
    
    …You’ll have noticed by now, that the running theme in all of these stories is not tolerance, but intolerance. This overly politically correct culture of ours is churning out young adults who have been cocooned and coddled in safe spaces, who have had literature fed to them with trigger warnings, who can’t handle moral or political disagreements without throwing hissy fits, who are more comfortable organizing protests against free speech than fighting for it and who have no idea how to live and let live. They’ve been taught that their right to be offended and have the world fall in line trumps everyone else’s right to speak or to hold an opinion…..

  This whole affair is disgusting and ridiculous. What have we descended to as a culture when tattooed tarts can parade themselves half naked in public and then one has the gall to complain that someone had ‘touched’ her?
  
  If this slutty piece of crap organises a march, then I hope to see a vigorous protest against it. I don’t condone any kind of violence, and mowing them down with a car would be totally OTT … but certainly there needs to be some kind of voice of reason from decent citizens against the popularisation of degenerates.

    Dave: young women should be able to wear an artwork on their chests at a festival and not have some stranger aggressively grab her boob, which according to news reports, appears to be what happened.
    Definitely it’s not a hanging offence, but it is offensive behaviour and no women likes being on the receiving end.
    And there’s no need to call her nasty names, she has a perfect right to express her outrage.

      Like you GV, I am surprised by the closet muslims here on KB and their victim blaming, obviously these people have had sheltered lives and never went to a rock concert or festival or even a beach where topless bathing is the norm.
      The backward thinking that because some woman had her breasts covered with paint was an invitation to grope beggars belief.

        But the question remains whether or not he grabbed her boob. In the video it looks like he tapped her on the arm. So clarification of the facts are needed urgently to put this case to rest. And, if it is proven that ‘groper’ actually tapped her on the arm, then it’s hardly grabbing her tit. So her proposed protest march down Queen St with a bunch of silly, over-excitable people who are not interested in facts, may have to be jettisoned. She’s milking this for all it’s worth. Note to oneself – if she ever applied for a job in our company, I’d immediately bin her application. Not interested in crazy bitches. BTW I’m no closet muslim either. So, I’m hoping that Miss Glitter tits is ready, also, to defend a potential charge of assault of a male concert goer. However, I think she was fully justified in dealing to him. It’s just that it may come back and bite her on her derrière.

      It is yet to be proven that the groper aggressively grabbed her boob. The video doesn’t support that at this stage. Groper boy did a silly thing, but then you’re at R & V inhaling the marijuana etc. Drinking booze, doing drugs – you’re not exactly thinking straight. And no, I’m not defending Groper’s actions.
      I would rather think that to organise a march down Queen St is rather OTT by any standards. This means we could potentially see protest marches down Queen St every day of the week then by some one who thinks their boob or whatever was touched indecently.

      ’Glittery March for Consent’ organisers threatened by trolls.
      Trolls have threatened to use a car to mow down women taking part in a march for consent in Auckland’s city centre.
      
      Of minor interest: the Glitter March is being organised by Gypsy Glitter, the company that provides glitter make-up!
      Is the woman concerned an activist, a victim, or a product?
      
      One assumes these people have to get Auckland Council permission for any march or street event.
      Can Mayor Phil Goff, or the Police, allow such an event when it is New Zealand’s first (that I am aware of) threatened terrorism auto attack?
      It is more preventable than Pike River.

      Well it may have been a hanging offence GoVege.
      After all we would need an affidavit from the grabber before we could make a proper assessment of the effect that gravity has had over the years. Coopers ligaments can get very stretched depending on the weight of said boobs and the length of time wearing or not wearing ancillary supporting equipment! 🙂

      It’s hard to see in the video but it *looks* like – looks like a quick light touch. Not a grab.
      
      That’s what it looks like – in the video it is seen from maybe 20-30 metres away – and slightly obscured.
      
      He could’ve grabbed the side of her right breast. But it looks every bit like he obviously knew what he was doing was very naughty – and therefore it wasn’t over the top. It looked to be at the very low end of the scale for the type of offence.
      
      I don’t know how much difference it would make but if it was a really nasty squeeze that would be a lot worse in my eyes. If it caused physical pain and then there’s some kind of difference between a light touch and planting your whole hand around a breast and having a good grope.
      
      Generally – you don’t touch other people. I don’t even like the so-called friendly touch. People might not like that – you’ve got to know when to hold them, know when to fark off. Thanks Kenny.

        Classic Liberal: The alleged groper was a fool, no argument there, but here’s the thing.
        
        There’s a dilemma about wether a woman’s breasts are or are not sexual objects.
        Glitter Tits says they are not sexual objects and it’s OK to coat them in glitter and nothing else.
        
        Then what is the difference between say, touching an arm to get attention (excuse me madam you’ve dropped your handkerchief) or touching a breast (hey ms you dropped some sequins off your wobbly bits)?
        
        Why is it that the perpetually outraged are describing this stupid grope (and yes, the groper was extremely stupid) as a sexual assault when Glitter Tits claims that her breasts are not sexual objects?
        
        Why is it the rules of common decency – keep your hands to yourself – apply to males, yet some women are incapable of a shred of common sense.
        
        A bit of sparkle offers no protection from the East Coast sun. I hope it doesn’t come to pass that a momentary touch is the least of Glitter Tits’ woes.
        
        And: I’m also baffled about boobs not being sexual, but a while ago touching someone’s ponytail was labelled a sexual assault and had folk excited for weeks.
        The rules are all over the place.

      Yes, basically she WAS wearing such a sign. I don’t know what planet you’re living on but on my planet female breasts are a symbol of sexuality and erotic desire. This is why they figure so much in advertising, movies and of course pornography.

        In some ways I agree with you. Boobs are everywhere in advertising. They sell stuff. The Hollywood celebs wore pretty revealing dresses the other night – deep cleavages, thigh cut dresses etc. They didn’t exactly turn up wearing Burkahs. I love a well-cut gown – but imo there is no need to wear a gown which leaves nothing to the imagination. Less is more but for some reason, the virtuous ladies of the Hollywood set don’t seem to understand that. Besides which, men usually love boobs – haven’t met a man yet who isn’t fascinated with them or wants to get his mitts on them. Oh and the poor breastfeeding woman comes for heaps of flak about ‘exposing’ her breast. Which she does not by the way. I’v been a breastfeeder and not flopped my mammaries out for all the world to see. I’ve fed my babies very discreetly without looking like a bloody porn star. Which brings me to the Kardashian harlots – crikey, there’s nothing left to the imagination there! Kim is very fond of putting everything on show.
        Interestingly though, some young women go to the faces and get a full body paint and enter Fashions on the Fields. Haven’t heard about anyone being ‘assaulted’ as a result.

  The Glitter March is being organised (surprise,surprise) by the Gypsy Glitter- The company that provides Glitter Make-up!
  Have a read of the Facebook page- It’s an absolute Trainwreck!
  Several ‘Activists’ are refusing to go because Gypsy is supposedly a slur. There are people on there taking the piss out of the ‘Feminist’ (Blonde with huge fake boobs who has a mildly pornographic Instagram page) who is arranging it all (and stands to make a handsome profit)
  And best of all- The ‘We will also march against Capitalism’ brigade are going to attend as well…

    So what the hell has nasty, evil capitalism got to do with a bare-breasted female I ask? These people are bloody outrageous. Seems to me like they’re bored and don’t have anything worthwhile or meaningful to keep themselves occupied. I’ll pop over to FB and try and make sense out of all the bullshit that’s being perpetrated. This is getting out of control me thinks.
    Maybe batshit crazy Sue Bradford and Laila Harre will march with their sisters in solidarity. Wonder if ‘capitalism has failed us’ Ardern will march with her sisters.
    she hates Capitalists, despite being one herself on $500K . Oh and all those other batshit crazy Green MP’s as well. Could be rather amusing if it gets off the ground. One would anticipate that al these crazy women will be topless on the day.

Heard a woman on the radio yesterday saying that in the late 90s the then National Govt. proposed a major upgrade and future-proofing of the highway north of Thames.
Apparently the local Greens, including co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, put the kibosh on it.

        It might not = assault, but it’s still out of the bounds of acceptable civilized behavior.
        In any case, the young woman said he groped her breast.

      Who said he was a flasher?
      I had far worse done to me when I was 8 but I wouldn’t want to see an 85 year old dragged to court 40 years later, jailed for 5 YEARS and his career and reputation destroyed.
      I call that elder abuse.

Is there no end to the antics to this nut who is turning US politics into the laughing stock of the world ,

“Joe Arpaio, Ex-Sheriff Pardoned by Trump, Announces Senate Run in Arizona”

“ALBUQUERQUE — Joe Arpaio, the polarizing 85-year-old immigration hard-liner pardoned by President Trump after a conviction for criminal contempt, announced on Tuesday that he is running in Arizona for the United States Senate.
The move by Mr. Arpaio, who just six months ago faced a jail sentence before he was pardoned, upended the race to replace Senator Jeff Flake, a Republican who abandoned his 2018 re-election campaign after coming under criticism from Mr. Trump….”

    At least he looks like a President and is trying to make America Great again.
    
    Obama’s administration just imported millions of low life, trying to turn the USA into a third world cess pit.

  That was an illegal use of the pardon powers.
  
  ‘he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.’
  
  Arpiao wasnt convicted of any federal offense, it was contempt of court.
  
  Arpiao is the only ‘ ex con’ to be running under the GOP banner
  Don Blankenship in West Virginia served a year for criminal conspiracy to violate federal mining standards after 29 died in his mines explosion.

stephieboy is surely not a real person but is a buch of people manning a troll account.

Last year stephie could construct grammatically sensible sentences, even if the content is idealogical drivel.

But today’s stephie has massive grammatical stuff ups in most of his/her/its posts.

It’s either a different stephie or substituting M&Ms for meds.

        KevOB,
        
        President Obama’s birth certificate as a “ constructed “ PDF file forgery is debunked here ,
        
        The document was PRINTED, not TYPED. It was then copied.
        
        Both copier and printer run to standard formats which means that there will be certain identical coincidences, but not all of the time.
        
        The fact that sometimes there are different examples of the same letter confirms this. It also confirms you.
        
        You’re the guy who ignored the evidence and knew nothing about formats and registration, but had no doubts, and was willing to perpetrate a libel, and no doubt a slander.
        
        Welcome to MetaBunk.
        
        I think the identical letters are a function of the OCR software.
        
        It’s interesting the parallels between this hoax and the chemtrails hoax. There’s a certain procrustean twisting of science to fit a preconceived notion.

Poor divas. Hollywood on the ofensive:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5253711/Robert-Niro-launches-anti-Trump-rant-awards.html

Robert de Niro called President Trump a ‘f***ing fool’ in a foul-mouthed rant as he presented Meryl Streep with a best actress award on Tuesday night.

Introducing Streep at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala in New York – which is not broadcast on TV – De Niro took time out to call the President a ‘f***ing idiot’ and compare his presidency to the fairytale of the Emperor’s New Clothes.

The Oscar-winner also branded Trump the ‘baby-in-chief’ and ‘jerk-off-in-chief’ while discussing Streep’s new film The Post, which is about the publication of the Pentagon Papers into the Vietnam War.

    No but Seal had called her out.
    
    Singer Seal has sensationally slammed Oprah Winfrey in the wake of her celebrated Golden Globes speech, declaring the talk show queen an example of “sanctimonious Hollywood”.
    Pictures dating back to 2014 show Winfrey embracing and kissing Weinstein, and the pair were understood to be good friends with a professional relationship stretching back decades.
    
    Seal, 54, shared a couple of these pictures with his 106,000 Instagram followers on his official account, accompanied by the text: “When you’ve been part of the problem for decades but suddenly they all think you are the solution.”

An excellent idea that should be adopted by NZ to keep away many of stephieboy’s mates:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/01/10/switzerland-rejects-citizenship-bids-residents-welfare/

A new civil rights act has come into force in Switzerland that prevents residents who have been on welfare in the past three years from becoming citizens unless they pay back the money they received to the state.

The new regulations will make it impossible for asylum seekers and migrants who have lived off state handouts in the last three years to become citizens even if they have lived in Switzerland as permanent residents for the required time to make a citizenship application, Kronen Zeitung reports.

More PC madness from the UK:

Altrincham Grammar School for Girls , one the best schools in the country, says from now on staff and pupils will use ‘gender neutral’ language.

In a letter to parents, principal Stephanie Gill said the term ‘girls’ will be no longer be used when addressing students to break ‘ingrained habits in the way pupils are spoken to and spoken about’. Ms Gill said using the term could result in transgender pupils being ‘misgendered’.

  The psychiatrist makes a really good point.
  
  Liberals regard biological determinism as verboten and subject to volksverhentzung. Everything is subjective. Everything is environmental.
  
  But holy diversity pronouns batman, when it comes to transgenders, biological determinism it is! It can only be caused by biology. Same with the other elements of the LGBTQiisdfhbasdklaweruh.
  
  The psychiatrist says if you encourage transgenderism, it’s more likely to arise. What a profoundly obvious statement. It’s almost like Roz Ward agrees. But try saying that.
  
  It’s so weird. It’s almost like, cultural marxism, or something.

Tasmania is contesting NZ moves to trademark “manuka honey”. It says it’s been producing it longer than New Zealand.

Maggie has explained before, I seem to recall, that manuka is indigenous to Australia as well as NZ.

    Only other thing to add is that Manuka is the name of a suburb in Canberra, and there was an Ozzy Rules Footballclub called the Manuka Football club.
    There is a Manuka Forest Reserve in Hawaii…
    (manuka in Hawaiian means “blunder”)

    In Tasmania Leptospermum scoparium is known variously as manuka or tea-tree, same as here.

      Manuka though is a Maori name is it not ? So that name in Australia must be a little bit of cultural appropriation. Presumably there’s an Aboriginal name for the tree, but as there are numerous Aboriginal languages there might be many possible names.

        Was manuka honey in international demand before Welsh scientist (in NZ), Peter Molan, established its medicinal properties? It seems to me that if the intellectual property of manuka honey morally belongs to anyone it belongs to his estate (Peter Molan died in 2015).
        
        The honey industry, including manuka honey, began with British settlers who brought with them the necessary honey bees.
        
        Let’s not be carried away by our sales pitch for manuka honey. If we were smart, we would direct some State research subsidies into the feasibility of creating new types of honey with various pharmaceutical properties.
        
        Presumably manuka will grow in many countries with similar climates to NZ and south-east Australia. More foreign competition in manuka honey is certain. Perhaps, instead of trying to seize the rights to the name “manuka” the NZ industry should establish a brand name that it can protect.
        
        Trying to enforce intellectual rights to the term “manuka” would likely be difficult in countries as widespread as China, Russia, Argentina, Mexico and Zimbabwe.
        
        Here’s an NZ honey industry leader’s view of manuka honey, its name and its possible medicinal properties:
        
        http://www.airborne.co.nz/information/manuka-whats-in-a-(common)-name.shtml

        jack , just because the shrub is widespread and indeed planted even more places, means nothing.
        Just like various wines are widespread and methods can be reproduced anywhere.
        Manuka is a ‘name’ associated with NZ, as thats what ‘apellation’ is all about , a restricted area.
        tea tree is the australian name, manuka is the NZ one.
        When I lived in Australian for a decade, coming back to NZ meant I called the local stuff ‘tee tree’ for a while

      NZ researchers were the leading lights in establishing that some Leptospermum scoparium produced honey with high Methylglyoxal content.
      
      Ozzie researchers have been checking through lots of their other Leptospermum species to see if any are as good as manuka for producing high MGO honey.
      http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0167780
      
      Looks like they have the potential for producing a number of different types of antibacterial honey.

      **pretentious white strawhatters**.

    Tea Tree in Ozzie refers to numerous Leptospermum species as well as Melaleuca
    
    Tea tree oil (also spelt Ti Tree ) comes from Melaleuca alternifolia and is a big Ozzie earner.
    
    There’ll be trouble when NZers start exporting their manuka oil as Tea Tree oil.

  Millions of years ago they say the particular plant originated in Tasmania before spreading to Victoria and NZ – I think they hate Victoria more than NZ.

So I went to turn off my living room TV at the wall late Tuesday night, but I always check the various news channels first, just in case something happened. Usually when I turn on CNN it’s the opposite of Fox, a panel criticising Trump. But instead Amanpour was on and she was interviewing Billie Jean King about the Golden Globes, sexism and harassment. The funny thing is that King gets treated like some wise guru having built a career & status on her match against Riggs, which it now appears he threw.

Fast instead of complaining, a French town tells its barbarians:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pork-free-school-meals-ban-substitute-france-town-anti-muslim-islamophobic-halal-beaucaire-a8149976.html

A French far right mayor’s decision to scrap substitute meals for students who do not eat pork has been branded “anti-Muslim”.

Julien Sanchez, the Front National mayor of Beaucaire, ditched his predecessor’s scheme on the first day of the new school term.

The move means around 150 mainly Muslim pupils have lost their “substitution meals”.

        That is the usual technique of stephieboy.
        And when challenged about his use of insinuating questions, he always wheedles that he wasn’t trying to denigrate anyone.
        
        He needs to swat up his defamation law. Someone might get upset one day.
        
        Is there a difference between saying something directly, and merely suggesting or implying it?
        
        Absolutely not. If the ordinary person reading or hearing the statement would naturally infer or interpret a defamatory meaning, it doesn’t make a difference whether an accusation was said or written directly, or was merely implied, or where certain things are left unsaid but readers are able to connect the dots.
        Also take note that a defamatory meaning can also be inferred by contextual elements of a publication, especially where interpreted to be sarcastic, ironic, or mischievous.

  France is predominantly a Catholic country, or it was. A lot of these Christians don’t seem to be as committed as they once were. However that doesn’t mean that other religions don’t still have the commitment to traditional practices that seem baffling to outsiders.
  Cows are sacred to hindus, Muslims & Jews don’t eat pork, Buddhist monks & Catholic priests are celibate, etc etc
  Maybe if this bloke was a bit more tolerant the local community would be the better for it.

This comment 10,000% should not be moderated. It absolutely shouldn’t be moderated. I’ve responded to the moderation approach, and will continue to adhere to it. But I expect this to be published. Literally all I’ve done is linked to news stories. Come on.

Good morning!

Before we do a quick cultural survey with minimal commentary, lets listen to some wise words from Alexander Pope on the art of writing:

Tis not enough no Harshness give offence
The Sound must seem an Eccho to the Sense
Soft is the Strain when the Zephyr gently blows
And the smooth Stream in smoother Numbers flows
But when loud Surges lash the sounding Shore
The Hoarse, Rough Verse should like the Torrent roar…

Here we go:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5252471/Top-grammar-school-bans-calling-pupils-girls.html – Manolo covered.

Which is interesting, because:

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90229789 – who knew, just a faze.

Meanwhile, and related:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5244525/Health-tourist-racks-Britains-biggest-unpaid-NHS-bill.html – guess what procedures cost so much.

But this has no correlation with:
https://www.ft.com/content/3ce98150-f240-11e7-bb7d-c3edfe974e9f

or

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5237211/NHS-struggles-cope-flu-takes-Britain.html

And the above has nothing to do with:

https://theconversation.com/why-are-vaccination-rates-in-england-falling-64931
(because focuses are elsewhere)

Oh well, the welfare state will never break!

Now, to a different theme:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/4/turkeys-despicable-islamic-ok-9-year-old-brides/

Powerful. Such rich culture. That authority sets curricula for vast numbers of madrassas too. Interesting.

But then again:

https://medium.com/@LoriHandrahan2/professors-staff-arrested-for-trading-in-child-rape-6c39fcf62a9e

That’s a lot of Deans, Professors, Assistant Professors etc, which is weird because:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/6/liberal-professors-outnumber-conservatives-12-1/

Ah, so now the mutual support between these two groups makes more sense. They run the same curricula and have the same values.

Closer to home:

But that relationship doesn’t exist, of course. Poor old Ratzinger.

I’m a little more spirited today because a host of my favorite Youtube videos have been censored, de-monetized, or de-listed, which is really, really weird, because:

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/parents-beware-content-youtube/

Youtube still leaves all these videos up, and more.

Completely unrelated to my summary of the Jamie Dimon law suit tomorrow, where we take a wander through the wacky wonderful world of the HR teams that graduated from the liberal institutions run by the people referred to above. How do these people operate? Lets find out some time later.

Happy 11th of January everybody!

    Actually sure, I don’t mind them staying up – the minority of law enforcement that aren’t complicit can use them to catch the viewers, who will probably be found in a humid staff office teaching liberal courses from the school of ‘stephieboy’ in an American university, beavering away preparing the inter-sectionality ‘whole school’ approach to empiricism lol.
    
    But in that case, don’t censor videos showing street violence in Paris, or discussing Weimar, or talking about the effects of the welfare state on the black family, or about the history of Islamic expansionism before the crusades, or on cultural marxism.
    
    If you’re going to leave obvious honey-pot content up, then that’s the bar you’ve set.
    
    I can’t even post the other stuff that is on Youtube. That’s as inoffensive as it gets. There is a rich eco-system of unbelievably offensive material that Youtube cultivates, in between shutting down videos on the Bolshevik revolution. You need several VPN’s to get near it, and it has billions of views, and Youtube keep getting notified, and do nothing.
    
    But now I understand why liberals fetishize islamic theology. Imagine the diversity and cultural enrichment these academics would feel having four 9 year old wives, or husbands.
    
    Google is too busy doing this:
    
    (Fletcher is a Level 6 hiring manager at Google)
    
    “Fletcher stated in reference to conservatives, who he categorized as “hostile voices,” “I will never, ever hire/transfer you onto my team. Ever. I don’t care if you are perfect fit or technically excellent or whatever. I will actively not work with you, even to the point where your team or product is impacted by this decision. I’ll communicate why to your manager if it comes up”.
    
    “Google furnishes a large number of internal mailing lists catering to employees with alternative lifestyles, including furries, polygamy, transgenderism, and plurality, for the purpose of discussing sexual topics. The only lifestyle that seems to not be openly discussed on Google’s internal forums is traditional heterosexual monogamy”
    
    Loool – those emails are going to be released during discovery. Google loves it’s Elsa videos.
    
    “In this conversation, the manager made additional politically motivated threats directed at members of the “conservatives@” mailing list community at Google. The manager threatened to call in Employee Relations to comb through the mailing list archives to nitpick old postings for possible Code of Conduct violations. Employee Relations at Google is tasked with investigating The manager also threatened to apply Google’s stringent, politically intolerant and legally questionable employee handbook speech code to communications taking place between friends on non-work forums, off the clock. As the manager stated: “Interactions with coworkers outside of work are covered by the same policies as interactions at work. So, for example, current Googlers interacting with other current Googlers on [a private, external mailing list with several current and former employees on it].”
    
    Okay, so Google is going to Doxx it’s own employees for political conversations they’ve held outside of work time.
    
    “On or around August 2015, Adam Fletcher (“Fletcher”), a L6 SRE Manager at Google, Jake McGuire (“McGuire”), a L7 SRE Manager at Google, and Nori Heikkinen (Heikkinen”), a L6 SRE Manager at Google all publicly endorsed blacklisting conservatives and actively preventing them from seeking employment opportunities at Google”.
    
    Okay, so Google is going to Doxx your internet history, and if they find anything they don’t like, like watching videos on the welfare state, as opposed to what they do like, like watching kids to rhythmical things, they won’t hire you.
    
    Here are senior Google employees encouraging Google members to go and join Antifa within internal message boards:
    
    “Get in touch with your friendly local antifa, don’t try to this alone…I won’t say that violence has no place… use encryption for your operations”.
    
    Are you fucking kidding me?
    
    “I believe (redacted) should absolutely be fired because he has made statements… that make women uncomfortable”
    
    “On August 7, 2015, another manager, Collin Winter, posted threats directed at a Google employee as a result of raising concerns of harassment and discrimination to Urs Holzle. Winter stated: “I keep a written blacklist of people whom I will never allow on or near my team, based on how they view and treat their coworkers. That blacklist got a little longer today.”
    
    Here is Kim Burchett from Google who is a lesbian in their HR team:
    
    “I think that only women and poc should be allowed to make hiring decisions at Google for a year”
    
    Lol here is an absolute gem from ‘Urs Hozel”
    
    “As engineers we’re trained to pay attention to details, think logically, challenge assumptions…. these tools are excellent tools for technical discussion. But they can be terrible tools for discussions around race, discrimination, justice and so on… that’s because questioning details can be perceived as questioning the validity of the effort”
    
    “In these situations, determining the exact truth can be counter productive”.
    
    Right. Truth is counter-productive.
    
    Here’s one where Google is engaged in anti-competition as a cartel with the other Silicon Valley SJW factories:
    
    “If we really care about diversity in tech, we don’t just need to chase serial offenders out of Google, we need to discourage them all throughout the industry. We should be willing to give a wink and a nod to other Silicon Valley employers over terminable offenses, not send the worst parts of tech packing with a smile and 8 years of employment at Google on their resumes”.
    
    Holy shit – industry wide blacklists for white men, and anyone who doesn’t like Elsa videos.
    
    The postings just go on, and on, and on – borderline terrorism where Google employees post about committing violence against Nazi white people, utterly dazed and confused, who do all the actual technical work at Google that gives it a profit, which is basically only adwords, and AI.
    
    It’s absolutely insane.
    
    But this is what the right are dealing with, and have to react to.
    
    Here’s Bridget Spitznagel in the Exhibits, with a mandatory class for white engineers at Google “Healing from Toxic Whiteness to Better Fight for Racial Justice”.
    
    hahahahahaha
    
    It goes on and on and on and on. This is only a statement of claim. They haven’t even started discovery. They haven’t even released a fraction of the material.
    
    Everyone needs to read this law suit. This is the future.
    
    It’s an asylum.
    
    This is why I’ve gone harder right over the years -what can you do in the face of such reckless hate? As Theoden said of the Uruk Hai yammering and slavering outside his gates at Helm’s Deep.
    
    “Ride out, ride out to meet them” said Aragon Ellassar.
    
    Lol.
    
    What can you do? This is Google. This is diversity in the workplace.
    
    These are the people determining what we see, what we can think, and who are putting together the curricula for our children.
    
    There was a video outlining how Bill Gates created the entire Common Core curriculum in the US, and what it contained. It got deleted.
    
    Thanks God we’re in NZ. It’s genuinely a cold war in the United States, being led by insane leftists who are insane.

      Actually I’m not even that right. I don’t care about Google’s penchant for Furries and the polyamoury, I don’t care that they hire people with left wing views or different religions or lifestyles, I just care about Google’s discrimination, hatred, persecution and almost certainly illegal hounding of a huge group of its employees based on the colour of their skin and the tenor of their ideas, which are moderate, and normal. Every single day, more and more proof comes out that the grand mosaic and the stated goals of multi-culturalism are a complete lie, and the lie is all from the left. What more can these poor bastards in Google do? They troop off to their mandatory re-education classes, they endure everything, they say nothing, and when they finally say it’s gone a little too far, lets’ stop calling up, down, they get called Nazi’s, threatened with violence and ruination, and people go into actual terrorist paramilitaries like Antifa organised from within Google, to destroy them.

Cutting your own throat:
http://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/10/politics/muslim-population-growth-second-religious-group-trnd/index.html

The Muslim population is growing, and in the next two decades Muslims could become the second-largest religious group in the United States, according to a Pew Research study.

According to their data, the Muslim population is growing at an accelerated rate, and will more than double from an estimated 3.45 million in 2017 to an estimated 8.1 million in 2050.

  So who is
  3.45 or 7 million?

  I just saw on the news that in Mexico City they are going to tighten up their driving laws, due to their high road toll.
  To get a license you just rock up with $40 and some ID (power bill) and you get your license.
  There are NO tests, written or practical!

Later this week I might share my parse strafe of the Jamie Dimon law suit.

There might be a correlation to be found in what Jamie the martyr found is the behaviour of the HR graduates of the liberal schools run by those above liberal professors in the US, and Google’s excellent selective attitude towards what videos are acceptable and not acceptable on Youtube.

Conservative political commentary for example about the Weimar and welfare states bad, so bad the videos have to be removed, their established authors with tens of thousands of subscribers robbed of their livlihood for holding political views, but what Tosh.O found, which is still all there, very very good.

When is Trump going to anti-trust these people, and all their friends in all the censoring big 4 in Silicon Valley, into oblivion?

Get rid of the H1B program, smash them with a Title XI equivalent on their hiring practices based on civil rights for white people, and tax all their never-never piles of blood-diamond money in the Seychalles, Caymans and Morocco?

With all the cyclists being killed last year, can their relatives sue the Green pardy and the local councils for encourgaing them to cycle.

NZ has narrow roads, that are just not built for cycling and never will be.

My local council (Tauarnga) conducted a survey last year on our attitudes to our transport “system”, and every question was loaded towards me wanting to cycle or go by bus.
No I don’t I want to use my car. Tga is too sprea out.
When I see all the councillors biking to work every day, then I’ll think about it.

Tragic. Al Gore and James Shaw are unhappy with Mamma Merkel.
http://www.climatechangenews.com/2018/01/10/international-dismay-germanys-2020-climate-target-lapse/

Germany’s reputation as a green leader is slipping, after reports this week the putative government will give up on meeting its 2020 emissions target.

Experts described a draft coalition agreement that defers the goal as “disheartening”, “problematic” and “very weak”.

Angela Merkel, previously dubbed the “climate chancellor” for her strong diplomatic record on the issue, is under fire for failing to heed warnings of a looming policy gap at home.

Some idiots have tagged the new boulders at Wrd beach: https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/100481772/bold-sightseers-graffiti-new-beach-boulders

From the article:
“Higgins was interested to learn of the boulders appearing from the water in Kaikōura and south Marlborough because they were linked to a Māori legend about the ancestral waka atua (canoe of the gods), he said.

“It does fit the story of our traditions about a particular sailing waka that came across the oceans and delivered the kumara.”

Come on mate, sure it is scummy to tag stuff (and we know who does the most tagging don’t we), but it is also offensive to assert some sort of cultural ownership over perfectly natural occurrences.

Just saw Penny Not So Bright camped out in the middle of Quay Street supposedly protecting some scrawny youg pohutukawas from road widening. What a dumb bird she is. Only people who pay their rates should have a say in how the city develops, don’t you think? Oh well, at least she can’t come on here and annoy everyone.

  This video purports to show “Wendy Gray and others protesting against the removal of trees from Quay Street”. The word “others” is a gross exaggeration – there are 3 protestors: Penny, Wendy and another lady who’s wearing a mad-hatter hat. They’ve set up deck chairs on the grass verge in the middle of the road. Auckland Council should charge them rent or issue a “move on” notice!

    I believe there’s some suggestion that Penny may turn up to the Titter Glitter parade. Since I’ll be busy down here in the Nui shearing Lebanese wimmen for the next few days can any of you Jaffa chaps get a video of the wonderful sight? 🙂

      You’d better have your chiropractor on speed dial. Some of those Lebanese mamas have dense fleeces.

What is the media doing if it was to close down there rights there would be hell to play and we would have days of headlines condemning the perpetrator but Winston the king of NZ Politics in his and their eyes is allowed to do what he sees fit to do.

    Your reference to a “big bIke” is intriguing. Does the “I” signify that the seat has an anal probe attached to it?

    Prominent Chinese lawyer Arthur Loo deemed the attempt at humour “a little bit sad in this day and age”. “I thought we had moved beyond this sort of thing,” he said.
    
    I’ve never heard of this “prominent” lawyer but his humorous name more than compensates for his lack of humour!

      If he was in an old pommie comedy show he’d be called Arthur Pint. 🙂

      Arthur is just the English name of convenience he has chosen. His actual name is, I believe, Wee Poo Loo…

  It confirms that there are career wankers who devote their entire lives to searching for something to be offended about.
  
  If it’s not whinging about wee Yanks with their tits out they’re picking on some poor bloody chef writing a menu.
  
  Humourless, dreary arseholes the lot of them.

  Cheer up old chap. Things could be worse – much worse. Imagine if DPF introduced a “pay-per-view” concept to Kiwiblog. You’d fork out money to read a comment from say, Stephieboy, and wish you’d spend the money on a decent coffee instead!

    @ Nosty,
    
    I was having a discussion with an acquaintance who follows Kiwiblog and we discussed what is becoming of it and we wondered if DPFs heart is still in it?
    
    Priorities understandably change when one has a child and with Labour in power he might not see it as a good use of his previous time running positive angles on news coverage to without National in power.
    
    With only 1 or 2 articles per day, I’m thinking DPF is very much in maintenance mode with his blog while he decides what he wants to do.
    
    Hopefully it’s just a summer recess whilst he enjoys the Wellington sun with his son.
    
    What’s your take – have you ever seen Kiwiblog this quiet in terms of Posts by the author?

      EAD:
      
      I’ve reflected on your question before responding.
      
      Like you, I’ve noticed a change in Kiwiblog posts over time. My guess is that DPF has decided to scale back his blogging activities, and to enjoy quality family time (nothing wrong with that). When you look at Kiwiblog posts, many of them are based on a mainstream media story, and are designed to promote discussion. But DPF still publishes the occasional in-depth post, particularly in relation to political polling trends.
      
      I guess, as readers, each of us comes to Kiwiblog for different reasons. I’ve always said that I come here to be entertained and informed – in that order. I don’t really bother with any other blogs, partly because I don’t have time, but partly because they’re not as interesting to read.
      
      I miss some of the older commentators like Reid, and some of the newer commentators seem to have one objective: to disrupt discussion.
      
      I have to admit there are days when reading Kiwiblog makes me think of how things used to be. But ultimately this is DPF’s blog project, and I hope he continues to maintain the best NZ blog (in my view) for our enjoyment!

      Relax, EAD, it’s holiday time, and in NZ Christmas New Year is the Doldrums for news. Parliament in recess, controversial bureaucrats like Dame Devoid are at the beach, news media are running on skeleton staffs. Even Red Radio NZ is run by a stand-in team.
      
      The pace will pick up soon.

      EAD, KB has been hijacked by a standing army of zionist extremists who spend their day strutting around demanding alternative views be banned. Essentially these vermin want KB to reflect the lies of the main stream media and are intolerant of any diversity.

Well it looks like Brito has been rumbled trying to pull off a hoax in order to gain sympathy.

So typical of him and his tribe – a leopard does not change his spots:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/23/israeli-police-arrest-man-over-bomb-threats-to-us-jewish-targets

Now imagine if they pulled off an even bigger hoax where one could get arrested merely for discussing it in all but the most sacrosanct terms? Imagine if that hoax was then used as a beating stick to justify the legitimacy of a new state, extract billions from guilt ridden whites and justify the destruction of White nations through mass immigration via a never ending guilt trip?

  Yes, I got sick of watching the news items on the m claiming they were being mistreated.
  They all looked quite fit and healthy to me.
  They are just scum, trying to get sickly white western liberals sympathy.
  Time to really start mistreating them and offer them free flights back to over where they came from, with a push from the airplane and a free parachute.

Useless and progressive until the end of time:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/un-pushes-countries-open-migration-despite-us-boycott-155343743.html

Governments that crack down on migrants are only harming themselves, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Thursday ahead of UN talks on a global response to migration boycotted by the United States.

Guterres presented a report to the General Assembly on ways to address the plight of the 258 million international migrants, some of whom are trapped in legal limbo.

“Authorities that erect major obstacles to migración – or place severe restrictions on migrants’ work opportunities – inflict needless economic self-harm,” Guterres said.

The Trump farce band plays on and on ,

Trump lauded delivery of F-52s to Norway – the planes only exist in ‘Call of Duty’

President Donald Trump’s announcement of U.S-made F-52s fighter aircraft delivered to Norway may have rattled its neighbour Russia, the source of rising tension among NATO allies. Was it a secret advanced jet capable of beating its Russian counterparts? A ruse to fool intelligence analysts?

Neither, it turns out. The F-52 is a fictional jet only available to fly if you’re a gamer at the controls of “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

Trump lauded the sale of the fictional planes alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House on Wednesday, remarking on the very real and growing defense relationship with the U.S.’s northern Europe ally. “In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fighter jets,” Trump said. “We have a total of 52, and they’ve delivered a number of them already a little ahead of schedule.…”
