I was looking out of my flat window when something bounced off my head and I caught it in my hand only to see it was a glass eye. I looked up, and the young woman on the top floor shouted down to me “Could bring that back up to me”. So I ran up to her flat, she invited me in, made me a bacon butty, had me guzzling as much whiskey as I can take and we had sex together. I said “Are you like this with every man you let into your flat”. She said “No, only to the ones who catch my eye”.

Right of way is Way of Right

Barry Soper is fast becoming one of the biggest critics of this government. Today, square in his sights is Minister of Health, David Clark.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12089534

Clark has been rightly caught out in a lie, and as is usual for this government, is trying to obfuscate using bluster and bombast. The problem is, he has none of either.

I have no idea why Jacinda is on maternity leave, it seems the children are all still at work.

Jacinda and Clarke are relaxing by the pool at their local Nudist Club. Jacinda puts down her book, turns to Clarke and asks, “Have you read Marx?”
Clarke replies, “It’s these wicker chairs”.

After intensive lobbying by Gay rights groups, the UK has banned gay conversion therapy and there are now calls for NZ to follow suit:

https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/world/uk-government-planning-ban-gay-conversion-therapy

That governments should bow down towards such authoritarianism is the real crime, though.

Gay conversion therapy, has made the lives of thousands of people happier – that is indisputable. I knew someone from school who considered themselves gay for much of their teens and early twenties (his Dad abandoned the family at a young age), was uncomfortable about it, and is now straight and happy and able to enjoy a normal and healthy family life with 2 beautiful children. All this would have been denied to him gay conversion therapy was made illegal

The homosexual lobby keep lecturing civil society that we need to “get over it”, but the real truth is that it is Gays that need to “get over it”.

  Not natural.
  Software not hard ware.
  1-3% of the population, permanent victims, self identify by their sexual choices, not who they are (Character) or achievements or personality.
  Expect everyone to encourage/enable their lifestyle choices.
  
  Sexual orientation is mutable.
  It can be a learned response.
  It is not genetic nor hard wired.
  not that that bothers their enablers.

Seems Twitford needed some more spin at the weekend. So they announce the extension of the westbound tram line to Kumeu, and with it say the programme will cost $6bn.

As part of the spin they gave the story of some immigrant who works in the city & the hassle she & her family have each day. Let me put it simply, a tram system is not going to solve anything for her. A ride by tram to the city by tram from Kumeu/Huapai will be as slow as going by car. So nothing different.

But why do they need tram from Huapai when there is already heavy rail, & when they ran the trains from Helensville they had no passengers previously.

  The wanker was so pleased to anouce trams to Kumeu, why no Whangarei. The rails go there and even Wellington the other way.

    Rachael, you have to read the piece. As someone who has provided strategic advice on transport systems for the past 20 years, I was left in a state of depression about NZ’s future. This country & Auckland are both being run by Muppets.
    
    These people are to dum to even begin to understand the chaos they want to unleash on all New Zealanders (the people who will pick up the tab).

Ruby Lips was laughing when a London sign about Trump almost said (in her mind) ‘cunt’ because the first letter was blocked by someone. So funny eh Ruby?

  Maybe this GD can be for jokes and comedy, and the parallel GD can be for serious discussion…

So it continues the bad sick joke that keeps giving. Yes once again its the NZ tax funded fake news outlet TVNZ. One would expect with 263 employees in their news room ,viewers would have at least see some local news. Most of last nights news was completely a re -run of fake news channels CNN and BBC.Even if the “news”nightly covers circa twenty minutes in between advertisments.
”
One story completely ignored and very important for our democracy was the freedom speech march.
Now being alleged that the Coalition of Corruption and Chaos which controls the nightly “news ” on TVNZ instructed them that coverage of the freedom march would put the terrorist hugger of Yasser Arafat in a bad light.
Once a Foreign Minister in a Liebour Government a guy named Goff under orders from his puppet masters issued a decree to stop two Canadians exercise the right to a free speech meeting in a rate payer owned and funded hall in Auckland.
Not only that TVNZ were told not to cover the march and answer to the mini Dictator Goff’s biased attack on NZs democracy and free speech ,seems hurty Goff feelings are more important to the biased sicko out of control TVNZ,and the Coalition of Corruption and Chaos.

  Goff needs removing.
  
  The law around his position needs changing so that when an idiot like him does what he does in the future the Aucklanders or fellow councillors can remove him.
  It should apply to all Councillors and Mayors.

    You know perfectly well who always starts it. And so does the whole world. That’s why the rogue state responsible for these deaths is annually denounced at the United Nations.

  Reminds me of the German children who were killed when the Russians shelled Berlin in 1945. Sad for them, but you could hardly blame Hitler, could you?

Most readers here will probably be aware of these two conflicting facts.
Over at Whale Oil today the campaign for free speech and expression is at full fury.
Over at Whale Oil today if you write anything at all outside the narrow confines of the WO program and very thin skin you will be banned for life.
Farrar over here is remarkably tolerant.

    You’re not the only one Morrissey. My father in-law copped a life ban for daring to suggest that a pic of WO with his rifle propped against a 14 Pointer, had been shot in a fenced enclosure.

Tommy Lapid: an Israeli cabinet minister who
had the courage to speak truthfully about Israel’s crimes in Palestine

In 2004, in his capacity as deputy prime minister and minister of justice in Ariel Sharon’s second government, Lapid was outspoken and critical. He opposed demolition of Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip, and said that the sight of an old Gazan woman searching through the ruins of her house, which had been destroyed by the IDF, aroused his memories of his own grandmother, Hermine, who perished in the Holocaust.

I’m always amazed by the fact that no Arab country seems to want to help the Palestinians.
And also that they have gone from about 1 million to 7 million people in 50 years, living in a shithole with no resources or jobs.
And by the fact that it has been the USA, and the EU that have been sending them aid.
