    Q. Why aren’t Jews any good at the media they own?
    
    A. Because they lie and manipulate all the time.

        Considering the fact that you’re a frequent commentator on a forum owned by a Jewish man, your ‘joke’ is not only vile, it’s also taking advantage of our host’s generosity. I suspect that he will take this on the chin rather than giving you the strike you deserve. I hope I’m wrong. You disgust me.

        Your “disgust” is a compliment – coming from dross like you. Do the thousands of nasty comments about religions Jews hate “disgust” you also?
        
        David might self identify as Jewish, but that is not the view of Jews. For that he would need a Jewish mother, or rarely, convert. Few manage to endure the requirements of the latter.

        Why are you only complaining about Kea’s Jewish ‘joke’, and not holysheet’s Indian ‘joke’?
        Are ‘jokes’ about Jews instrinsically worse?
        Did you laugh at one, but find the other one offensive?

        Mikenmild,
        
        No I didn’t laugh at the Indian joke. It’s not in good taste, but at least it was a joke. Realityczech’s isn’t even a joke, it’s just a slur, which, judging by his other comments is par for the course. He doesn’t seem to have anything to offer but gratuitous insults.

        A fair point Tricky. Personally I don’t make ethnic jokes and I rarely find them funny. But it’s one thing to make a poor taste joke and another to deliberately set out to offend. To be sure the line between the two is subjective, but in this case I think it’s fairly clear.

        Actually it was a response to a racist attack on Indians, before the daily rants about Muslims begin.

        The obsession here is with Muslims, so why not speak out about that? Seems you are all for religious persecution, just not for the self declared chosen-ones.
        
        Glad to be reported. It highlights the bigotry and double standards of those banging on about free speech on KB – when in fact they are opposed to it.

      Czech, that is not a Jewish joke. That is a comment regarding a small group of zillionaires controlling large chunks of the media who are also Jewish. In case you have not checked, this group is not statistically representative of Jews overall. For your edification, here is a Jewish joke:
      
      A Jewish father was very troubled by the way his son turned out and went to see his rabbi about it.
      
      “Rabbi, I brought him up in the faith, gave him a very expensive Bar Mitzvah and it cost me a fortune to educate him. Then he tells me last week, he’s decided to be a Christian. Rabbi, where did I go wrong?”
      
      The rabbi strokes his beard and says, “Funny you should come to me. I too, brought up my son as a boy of faith, sent him to university and it cost me a fortune and then one day he comes to me and tells me he wants to be a Christian.”
      
      “What did you do?” asked the man of the rabbi.
      
      “I turned to God for the answer,” replied the rabbi.
      
      “What did he say?” asked the man.
      
      He said, “Funny you should come to me…”

        Ninny, bullshit. If you really believed that you would be responding to the thousands of posts saying all Muslims are terrorists, not just a small percentage.
        
        The fact is you have been brainwashed with fables about Jewish persecution since birth. They have been persecuted, but by religious bigots like you. Not people like me.

  Jewish Jokes
  
  From Groucho Marx to the Borscht Belt to Sarah Silverman, many of America’s best-known comedians have been Jewish. And so important is humor to Jewish culture that a landmark study on American Jewish identity in 2013 found that 42 percent of American Jews consider “having a good sense of humor” to be “an essential part of what being Jewish means.” (In contrast, only 19 percent said observing Jewish law was essential.)

    You don’t get it do you.
    
    Humour is not a slur which you did.
    
    Also you could have come back with a counter joke about any other group on the globe and yet 100% of posters here knew it was always going to be about Jews and a slight against them

  To all those offended. From the beginning of time one tribe has made jokes about another. So we have spick, wog, dago, nigger, polack, pom, sheila, faggott, kraut, yank, honky, darkie, coolie Jewish, Left Footer, clutch plates, rooinekke, etc etc Jokes. (hoping to offend virtually EVERYONE in one hit -please add to the list for those I have missed out). Yes they may be offensive. But no-one HAS to take offence. In fact, all jokes are by their very nature offensive if we allow them to be, as the micky is being taken out of some person or group, or trait that a group is perceived to have, or some misfortune, or act of stupidity. Humour is a uniquely human trait that allows us to cope with serious issues, its an escape valve. When we get too precious about this we chip away at one thing that makes us human, the ability to laugh at ourselves.

Well, well, well, announcer cannot call weird looking haircut a golliwog cut. A boss cannot call someone of another race a “Little Injun”, without having 10 grand awarded against him/her by ERA.

    kea, why do you get things so wrong !,
    
    WHAT’S TRUE
    
    Isis militants claimed responsibility for the murders of Austin, Geoghegan, and two other tourists. Austin and Geoghegan had posted several times online about the generosity and kindness they encountered on their round-the-world cycling trip.
    
    WHAT’S FALSE
    
    There is no evidence Austin and Geoghegan were aware of any terrorist threat in Tajikistan, or that they travelled through that region particularly in order to vindicate their belief in human kindness. There is ample evidence that their trip was motivated by no more than a desire for adventure and life experience.

      The article introduces that snopes straw man, for some bizzare reason.
      
      He wrote this:
      
      “I don’t buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own – it’s easier to dismiss an opinion as abhorrent than strive to understand it.”
      
      Naive and stupid and – from their various stances expressed – clearly wet. Consequences obvious.

        What they are suggesting is that the context in which he published that was after experiencing other acts of kindness. In other words, there was nothing to suggest that the primary “mission” of their travels was to prove “evil is make believe”. That is something that was added after the fact to sensationalise the story.

        No, some site called ‘The Pluralist” did that:
        
        On 15 August, the Pluralist web site published an article that accurately described the details of couple’s trip and their deaths, but the headline they employed — “Millennial Couple Bikes Through ISIS Territory to Prove ‘Humans Are Kind’ and Gets Killed” — and other phrasing may have created the impression that the couple’s deaths were infused with irony and served as a kind of allegorical warning about cosmopolitan, liberal naivety
        
        I was drawing attention to their naivety
        
        Sure. But no more than someone who goes outside in the sun, says “what a beautiful day today” and then gets sunburnt later in the day.

      Now that Inandout has contributed the same I think a lot of it comes down the intent and influence of the article. It’s that instinct to open your mouth and comment on something before you’ve fully digested what happened. And some sort of internal battle for distaste for one ‘group’ of people over another. Interesting.

  @Heat: Yours was one of the most vile comments I have read here for a long time.
  
  Gloating over the pointless deaths of this unfortunate couple in order to make an unconnected point about your perception of ‘leftists’ is, in my view despicable.
  
  I thought KB readers were better than this. Why you got any upticks for such a disgusting comment is, frankly, beyond me. 🙁

An example of fake news from Snopes, which Google is in partnership with as a fact checker (it’s really fake news)

• Search: Obama deported more people than any other president.

• Snopes claims it is not true and blames Trump for starting the rumour in 2016
.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-deported-more-people/

But here we have a story from 2014 about that very thing. It took me seconds to fact-check this and demonstrate Snopes is fake news.

  A mixture of fact and falsehood,
  
  WHAT’S TRUE
  Statistically, more people were deported from the U.S. during the administration of President Barack Obama than during that of any other president.
  
  WHAT’S FALSE
  That statistic was due in large part to a change in how “deportations” are defined rather than to an increase in the number of persons deported.
  
  Continuing “..that began under the Bush administration ” a fact which The Nation omitted. Most likely deliberately.

  New York Congressional Democratic candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to raise the USA’s corporate tax rate from 15% to 28%. The highly socialist candidate’s response to a request by Ben Shiparo to an offer to debate her policies was that she does not respond to Shiparo’s request like she does not respond to a “cat-call”. The invitation by Ben Shiparo to debate her policies was sweetened by an offer to pay $10,000 to her campaign, or to a charity.

“The un-celebrity president: Jimmy Carter shuns riches, lives modestly in his Georgia hometown”

iJmmy Carter finishes his Saturday night dinner, salmon and broccoli casserole on a paper plate, flashes his famous toothy grin and calls playfully to his wife of 72 years, Rosalynn: “C’mon, kid.”

She laughs and takes his hand, and they walk carefully through a neighbor’s kitchen filled with 1976 campaign buttons, photos of world leaders and a couple of unopened cans of Billy Beer, then out the back door, where three Secret Service agents wait.

They do this just about every weekend in this tiny town where they were born – he almost 94 years ago, she almost 91. Dinner at their friend Jill Stuckey’s house, with plastic Solo cups of ice water and one glass each of bargain-brand chardonnay, then the half-mile walk home to the ranch house they built in 1961.

On this south Georgia summer evening, still close to 90 degrees, they dab their faces with a little plastic bottle of No Natz to repel the swirling clouds of tiny bugs. Then they catch each other’s hands again and start walking, the former president in jeans and clunky black shoes, the former first lady using a walking stick for the first time….

  So a person who pardoned draft dodgers. A person who criticisers Israels treatment of Palestinians (every President does one thing right).
  
  But worst of all he created the Department of Education. Who would have thought creating a government run (child brain washing) entity would come from the left.

That Jimmy Carter? Iran was largely Westernized until that time. There are photos before the revolution of Iranians wearing normal western fashion. Afterwards it was all hijabs, burkas and oppression.

  Been doing it for years on open raods. too many people don’t see.
  As an illustration I was coming up country from Feilding man years ago and cam across an accident on a long strait stretch of road. 3 fatalities.
  The day was really fine and sunny, the two cars were both white and the road had reasonably new chip seal which, in that light, looked almost white. One car had gone out to pass another and went hjead on onto the car they didn’t see.
  Two dead in that car which broke in half and one in the Holden. Mum of three kids who with her husband were returning from the ski fields.
  Have used my lights ever since.
  It is even worse now as most cars are white, silver or black and they blend into the surrounds.
  
  By the way Sweden made day lights compulsory years ago.
  
  Just makes sense to me.

    I was driving a country road on an overcast day. I thought I was the only car on the road until an oncoming black coloured car popped into the daylight from the darkness of a row of large trees. There are numerous reasons why cars are hard to see without their lights on. Better to be safe than sorry.

  When: At least 50 years ago, and largely as a result of the arrival of Volvo cars (and to a lesser extent Saab’s although only because fewer were imported) from Sweden where such a requirement is mandatory and all motor vehicles have to have their lights on ‘automatically’ (at the point when the ignition is turned on) during the day for safety reasons.
  
  It’s not mandatory in NZ as you would know, but as more Kiwi’s adopt a ‘See and be seen’ attitude when driving, it has gradually become more commonplace.
  
  Thanks for asking.

@L R C… It is law for motorcycles. Why? ummm
Lots of Euro cars have daylight running lights permanently on. Why? ummm
So semi on the ball drivers might spot them whilst txting or eating or fiddling with the sounds or lighting a smoke or chatting or sleepy.
However I always wonder why drivers whiz along in the dark nearly invisible with just parklights on.

  Re: ‘However I always wonder why drivers whiz along in the dark nearly invisible with just parklights on’
  
  On that note, have you ever noticed that on dawn / dusk, or in foggy / sleet/ heavy weather conditions, it is invariably the dark cars that DON’T have any lights on, despite the circumstances indicating that they are the very ones which need it most because of their colour?
  
  This was pointed out to me many years ago and, although I was initially sceptical about the comment, observation tends to suggest that it is in fact the case. No idea why this should be so, but it is actually surprisingly common, to the extent that it is almost a ‘bettable’ occurance.
  
  Thought you might find it of interest.

  The prisons are full (arbitrarily) of people on DV breaches. Like sending their kids birthday presents, accidentally bumping into the ex at the super market, or got invited around to see the kids only to be met at the door by mummy’s new boyfriend, or refusing to pay $4,000 to do a psych report (extortion) that is only being done to delay, delay, and delay visitation proceeding in the Femily Court.
  
  There’s no room in prisons for actual bad people, or actual prosecutable crimes.

“Mueller Wants Papadopoulos to Go to Jail, Says He Harmed Russia Investigation”

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has recommended a prison sentence of up to six months for former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, arguing in a court filing on Friday that he successfully sought to harm the Russia investigation in its critical early stages. Last October, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to charges of lying to the FBI regarding his contacts with Russian operatives during the Trump campaign — including at least one meeting where he was offered thousands of emails meant to damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Papadopoulos did not ultimately provide “substantial assistance” to investigators, however, and prosecutors insisted his crime — which consisted of “at least a dozen lies” — “was serious and caused damage to the government’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election…..”

        Is that what the Police told you?What has policing come to when a complainant has to supply their own suspects?

        If you’re going to ignore it then do so.
        Bringing up the matter repeatedly as you do is hardly ignoring a childish prank.

  Misogyny is just a Feminist buz word thrown at anybody that disagrees with the latest Feminist ideology. A person who wants men to be equal with women is a Misogynist pig, while a person who wants women to be equal with men, is a person of high moral standing.
  
  The issue with many of these individuals is that they spout hatred, or clearly bigoted Feminist ideology. They get responses negative to thier point of view and label it abuse. At no point do they question why thier point of view gets so much criticism. Men who have had thier lives destroyed by evil women, for good reason treat such views with the contempt they deserve.
  
  Would the comments be better described as anti Misandrist rather than the defined term Mysogynist, as many labeled as such, are not.

  It’s a side issue, and trivial compared with Pete George’s main topic, but I notice that at one point he writes “most people don’t hate on others.”
  
  The use of “on” after “hate” seems to be a new usage that is becoming common.
  
  Perhaps language change will come quicker as print gives way to online communication. No ranks of sub-editors and proof readers to be anchors against innovation.

    hate on somebody or something seems very recent usage in NZ, but it appears to have been around for over 25 years… derives from Afro-American Hip-hop culture.

Maybe we could leave Auckland’s housing shortage in the hands of the Police and the IRD to remedy?

The NZH reports that a Plumber with a Chinese sounding name, (Yu Ping Gong), declared less than $1000 in income over the last 5 years, while at the same time building a property portfolio in excess of $9 million.

The Chinese plumber denies tax evasion, but has agreed that eight of his Auckland houses can be sold in order to cut a deal with the police and the IRD.

Perhaps this government should look into the financial affairs of ALL Chinese living here, who have been granted residency in say the last 9 years. It may well assist a large number of ‘first home buyers’?

  Forgot to mention, this plumber is the brother of Xiao Hua Gong (a.k.a Edward Gong), who was accused of running a $200 million pyramid scheme in China. He was arrested while living in Canada last December and charged with fraud and money laundering.

      Some years ago a Kiwi was jailed in Hong Kong because his lifestyle did not tally with his recorded income.
      Apparently in HK they automatically arrest you if you are obviously making more than you declare.

But it does makes me wonder,where are all the conservatively minded tech entrepreneurs.The way i see it,there is a real gap in the market and its growing incredibly fast…faster than Dorsey/Zuckerberg and co. can silence…opportunity abounds…and if i were younger.

    It lost its female authors (again) earlier this year, after a back-end dispute I don’t know the details of. The authors are now all blokes and some of them are obnoxious authoritarians. Still worth reading to hear what left-wing bloggers are saying, but less so than it was a year ago.
    
    (Disclaimer: I was banned as part of that dispute earlier this year, so am not a completely disinterested party)

So yesterday I was leaving little kiddies soccer (a sibling’s child) and in the car park was what looked like a Tesla, on closer inspection it was a 2018 Model S or something. Given the hype, I would say that Jaguar and Lexus have far better looking cars on the market, then there is Bentley, Aston, Ferrari etc which are even better looking. Then there is BMW’s i8 which has a funky appeal too it. In short, I don’t like giving money to the crazies every time I fill up but Tesla is overhyped in the looks department.

      The NFL really means “NOT Football League”. The contempt for kickers is disgusting. To make it worse, not only does hardly anyone ever kick the ball, hardly anyone is allowed to even TOUCH it.

        That’s simply the result of a 2005 practical joke on his erstwhile Australian Rugby buddies by Australian soccer boss John “Possumhead” O’Neill. (Yes, the same sleazeball who stole the RWC co-hosting from us in 2003.) He changed the name of the Australian Soccer Federation to “Football Australia” just to annoy his old mates in the ARU.
        
        …and the majority of those that play the game call it football.
        
        No they don’t. Most—in fact nearly all— kids who play soccer call it soccer. The odd soccer tragic will correct them, but as soon as he or she moves out of earshot they go back to talking like everybody else.

    All this while sitting at an electric ‘refuelling station’ outside Warehouse (or somesuch location) for two hours while waiting for your newly-purchased ‘all electric’ pride and joy to recharge itself.
    
    Virtue signalling would seem to have a price, although agreed, it WOULD give you a chance to answer such questions as ‘Why are you here, Does recharging take long and How do you keep warm on cold days when the battery is flat’, along with other ‘Matters of moment’…

Dippie critical of Dunedin district plan … Otago Daily Times
h/t GF

https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dippie-critical-dunedin-district-plan

A leading Otago developer has criticised Dunedin’s new district plan.

Allan Dippie said yesterday a lack of greenfields sites meant it would be a struggle to generate the property development the city needed.

Mr Dippie, who has developed residential subdivisions in areas including Wanaka and Mosgiel, said the city needed residential-zoned land for developers to build on. … read more via hyperlink above …

Stuff is running a story about patched mongrel mobsters moving in to Motueka on motorbikes to advance their P manufacturing and marketing industry. P is very expensive in Motueka apparently so a lot of cash to be harvested there.
But the main worry for the locals is about the mongrels wearing their patched clothing in local shops.
So would it be safer all round if a group of people wearing matching walkshorts and T-shirts and driving electric cars moved in to make and sell P?

  Motueka needs to be rid of them. Not good for the locals’ security and a very bad look for the gateway town to the Abel Tasman Park as we head into the tourism season. The closest serious police presence is 40 minutes away in Nelson if (when) the shit does hit the fan.

  Two beat cops in Devonport about 7pm on Friday night – quaint and superfluous, Numerous scraps of humanity in Queen Street openly using P in daylight hours – nada.

  I see the grandma of the nation, resident in Wanganui, and spokeswoman for the riverperson, is getting loads of attention at the moment, including from that other dame.
  Maybe it’s consolation for the failure of her separist party to secure the nation’s beaches for one race.

    We are White males you see- Perhaps you were out of the Country when this fucking vile woman was shrieking to a class of Schoolkids that ‘We need old white men to die’ etc etc
    The fact that she is brainwashing impressionable children with that racist, ageist garbage is utterly sick and revolting- Remember the fucking Nazis used to brainwash kid in classrooms with such pure hatred as well!
    Subsequently- I wish her child no ill but I utterly hate the repugnant woman and will not ‘celebrate’ the birth with you..

Also hope she doesn’t get in the crap for stealing publicity off the Greens’ conference.

  Stole nothing from the Greens conference, Shaw said she was ‘on brand’
  But he also said this:
  “I’m very proud to be a member of a party that supports that, and proud to be living in a country where two members of the country’s executive are able to have children as part of their job,” Shaw said.
  … as part of their job?
  Hmm. Don’t remember that being part of the job description. ‘Must carry and deliver baby’ would surely be illegal as a job requirement?

I suspect the banks down Kaiti Hill will just fill up quicker with car bodies, dead dogs, used disposal nappies, old washing machines, dead Tvs, etc

      Our population is probably too small to support major recycling plants.

What an idiot Julie Ann Genter is.
Putting her unborn child’s life in danger for the sake of virtue signalling.

  You think she really rode her bike all the way to Hospital?
  It’s another Labour/Green virtue-signalling publicity stunt…

    No mention of the sperm donor following along on its own bicycle with the baby bag (hemp, of course) over its shoulder. Or is this delivery going to be a solo effort.

    Because of attitudes like yours, every race has good and bad people and if someone spoke about your children like you talk about Maori or Muslims you would be highly offended.

NZ is full of hills and valleys, we should just go back to the old system using landfills.
Buy some properties and fill them up in a hundred years you have some nice flat land fro recreation or farming.
It would be much cheaper than sorting out rubbish and all the different wheelie bins etc etc.

        If you weren’t the principled man you are RC, you would do what hundreds of other dudes do and hang around the supermarkets looking for a solo mum to live off.

Either the USA judicial system is crazy or the left wing MSM are stupid ( the later I hope). CNN and few of their media mates have filed to get the names and addresses of the jurors in the Manafort case while they are still deliberating.
There is another alternative –it is just a game to intimidate the jurors , in which case this has to be a new extreme low for the USA media.

  Time everyone let this go, nearly eight years on.
  
  There was lousy equipment, the whole project was flaky, and the collapse of world coal prices would probably have closed the mine by now. It was reckless that there was no second route out of the mine, but who knows whether one would have saved the miners.
  
  Learn from the mistakes and move on. It was a tragedy, but underground mining is dangerous work.
  
  The disaster was further proof that there is heaps of coal-seam gas ready to be fracked out in NZ, but sadly the Greens have killed any chance of using this natural resource.

  Andy’s treading dangerous ground. There is sufficient competent opinion that establishing an undergound mine on a known fault was against global safety recommendations.
  The govt were instrumental in approvals and have to take responsibility not a manager appointed subsequently.
  I don’t see how Andy can avoid risk of a repeat explosion.

    Was it not recommended that it be open cast, but the fucking greens objected? They have blood on their hands if that is the case. http://pc.blogspot.com/2010/11/guest-post-it-greens-stoopid.html

This news will go down well at The Standard (where they hate John Key and they hate his Hawaii holiday home even more):

Sir John Key puts up Hawaii home for a week to help top Auckland detective Sarah Cato’s cancer fight

Some of the silent auction outcomes were interesting:

– Barbecue dinner with Minister of Police Stuart Nash – “around $2500”.
– Lunch and a round of golf with Sir John Key at the Kauri Cliffs course where he played with former US president Barack Obama – “more than $3000”.
– A rudimentary drawing of the beehive by former Prime Minister Bill English – “just over $1000”.

Apparently a BBQ with Stuart Nash is worth something…

  An induction is not a Caesarean.
  
  It is a procedure to start labour… usually by administration of a hormone or by breaking of amniotic membrane surrounding baby.
  
  1st babies are often late…. 41 -42 week pregnancy.

  You’re not suggesting, surely, that your friend UpandComer might have received NZ On Air funding to make a TV programme?
  
  But, to ask a serious question, does TVNZ’s on-demand library include programmes made by TVNZ (probably with NZ On Air funding) and programmes made by others but licensed to TVNZ?
  
  I don’t know much about the TV and film industry other than to know that there’s a complex web of contractual relationships. I remember when a Simpson Grierson lawyer received publicity over her involvement in the Lord of the Rings legal work. It all sounded very interesting.

    I don’t know whether the programme in question was funded at all by TVNZ or NZ on Air. One hopes not, but in these days where the taxpayer funds fake medicine like chiropractic and acupuncture, who knows.
    I was mightily amused though to hear that although TVNZ has dropped Skeletons in the Cupboard from its website, it still includes Sensing Murder as another ‘documentary’.

        John Ansell: … Do you wiseacres dismiss Sensing Murder as an orchestrated conspiracy to defraud? Even if 99% of the work of those psychics was fake, it would only require a 1% success rate to constitute proof of communication with the departed. I think they’ve done enough to be believed. …
        
        DPF: Yes I dismiss Sensing Murder as an orchestrated conspiracy to defraud.
        
        John Ansell: Why David? On what rational grounds?
        [DPF: Because whenever these mediums are put to a proper controlled blind test, they fail or achieve no better results than blind luck. Believing people can speak to the dead because of a TV show is like believing in magic because of David Copperfield]
        
        Philu:
        you gotta be kidding..eh..?
        (apart from anything else..you deride 9/11 doubters as being ‘conspiracy-nuts’..
        ..and you are seriously pushing away the strongest (modern/widely accessableevidence ever of others’ (unexplainable) powers..
        ..as “an orchestrated conspiracy to defraud..” ..?
        ..so the ex-cop/production company..and uncle tom cobbley..are all ‘in on it’..eh..?
        (but nobodys’ leaked yet’..eh..?..)..(heh heh..!..)
        ..how can you claim to be a rational thinker..when you are just sticking your fists in your ears..closing your eyes..
        ..and going ‘nyah..nyah..nyah..!..i’m not listening..!..)
        how about you do one thing..
        ..next week is the final..where they have the cops who were actually on the case..asking the psychics the questions..
        ..(the promo footage shows said cops calling the program ‘a landmark in crime investigation..)
        ..or are they ‘in on it’ too..?
        ..i mean..do you not acknowledge there is so much we don’t know..?
        ..or are you a ‘this is it..!..this bottle of wine/food i am consuming..is ‘it’..”..?
        
        So at least 2 believers. I know, in a later year, that someone else popped up. It was either UglyTruth or Deadrightkev.

        Terrific. TVNZ are accepting productions from anyone, it seems. The race for content is truly a race to the bottom.

        Thanks Maggy. Their our films page is interesting:
        
        New Zealand: Skeletons in the Cupboard – Part 1: The Redheads digs deeply into the now denied history of the early Patuparaiaehe, the Turehu, the Urekehu and the once powerful but peace loving red or golden-haired, green- eyed early inhabitants — the Ngati Hotu and the Waitaha. Who are these people, where did they come from and where are they now?
        
        New Zealand: Skeletons in the Cupboard – Part 2: Under the Carpet dives under the layers of volcanic ash, lava, sand and embargoes to discover historical information lost and covered up by government decision, designed to keep the truth of New Zealand’s history away from the people; those that really need it.
        
        It doesn’t look like they’ve released part 3 yet, but in the meantime, they’ve found something else:
        
        Cousins Across the Sea: An ancient legend sparks controversy when Peter and Gabi start delving into hidden history as they ask the question ‘Were the Tahitians really the earliest people to colonise Hawaii?’ It seems not and the answers unearthed point the finger at wilfull [sic] obfuscation of the startling truth.
        
        There seems to be an underlying theme in their programmes.

I see that Kofi Annan has passed away. Given the position he held as sec gen of the UN then he must be judged on his time in that role.
Annan was a crushing failure, his inaction over Kosovo and Africa showed the world once again that the UN is a complete and utter waste of time and money.
Kofi Annan was a failure.

  Helen Clark remembers Kofi Annan as ‘leading statesperson of our time’
  
  Former prime minister Helen Clark has remembered Kofi Annan as the “leading statesperson of our time” following the announcement of his death yesterday. … “Kofi knew it wasn’t just about him, he knew you had to have the right people in the right place to do the job you wanted to do. That, I think carried him through some very difficult times as secretary-general.”
  
  Hmmm… a failed UN Secretary-General candidate waxing lyrical about a former UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize recipient…

  big bruv, Kofi Annan was not a failure given he was constrained by the Security councils power of veto as we have see recently in the Syrian civil war or the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
  
  Diplomacy is the usual way to resolve international tensions and problems which he was very good at. Plus the mountain of good work the UN does in disaster relief, medical and humanitarian aid etc
  
  I think even the present US administration see its value after talk of withdrawing from it.

    Trump has done more for world peace in a few months than Annan did in his entire career.

      What? Running his own war against almost every country with his sanctions or tariffs or both.

    Different era. Muldoon was focused on 1970s African politicians. ‘Cheeky darkie’ was the select epithet from noted comedian Paul (“please give me a knighthood before I cark it”)Holmes .

  The NZ Herald headline is interesting: Tourists robbed, threatened near Turangi in central North Island
  
  Why did the editor think the words “in central North Island” were necessary? Is “Turangi” not good enough?

  They are poor and oppressed, having failed to receive the ‘trickle-down. from the grievance industry.
  They therefore have to resort to robbing tourists in order to survive.

    Close, Captain Mainwaring, but not quite.
    
    The bros were exercising their rights under Te Tiriti to charge a tourist tax. If tourists don’t pay, then the bros exercise their rights under Te Tiriti to enforce the tourist tax – by whatever means necessary. Unfortunately for the tourists, they apparently weren’t told this when they arrived at Auckland Airport. Our immigration officers let them down. Hopefully, in future, all tourists will be informed of their obligations under Te Tiriti as mere visitors to NZ.

  They’re worse than idiots.
  If they had an ounce of working brain matter, they’d realize the money these tourists bring in pay for the bennies they and their 20 children each will be on for their entire lives.

Fraser Anning, a new Senator in Australia, delivers a stunningly commonsense maiden speech declaring that Australia needs a “final solution” to the immigration crisis that is flooding Australia with non-Whites.

  Yes, since when have two basic words been reserved for only one instance in history.
  If he had said only solution, or the best solution would it have been OK?

Robbing or bashing tourists should get double the normal sentence.
