When there’s no reasonable explanation, there’s something hidden. Just who were Antolik’s ‘customers’?

    So much for the so called war on drugs.
    
    Drug dealers are given residency. NZ is soft touch on drugs.
    
    Welcoming Communities has been developed in recognition that communities are healthier, happier and more productive when newcomers are welcomed and participate fully in society and in the local economy.

    Welcome Mr. Drug Dealer. Welcome. You are no doubt the real victim here.

        All in keeping with the world wide standard – there is no war on drugs – drugs support a multitude of countries wellbeing – the removal of the drug trade would see half the worlds counties collapsing poste-haste.

      The war on Drugs was Trumps idea.
      
      Therefore there is no way Ardern and her cronies were going to sign up for that.
      
      This is just another way for her to insult Trump and the USA.

        Actually the Imperial Chinese weren’t too keen on importing opium to stupify the people and losing all their silver in what for the Chinese was a very poor deal.
        
        So they had a war on drugs January 1839, they lost.
        
        Mao on taking power in 1949 also had a war on drugs. Apparently it was successful by the simple implementation of mass execution of dealers .
        
        Strange , China is now a major drugs exporter.

        Fiddling while Rome burns folks.
        Trump declared a war on drugs and invited other countries to subscribe.
        While KBers (love you all!) bicker about whose war on drugs it is and who declared it first, the problem hasn’t gone away.
        IMO Trump has shown himself to be a ‘roll up the sleeves and get it done’ kind of bloke, and SLG thumbing her nose at him does a disservice to New Zealand as well as the rest of the world.
        If central America wasn’t awash with drugs and associated crime, there wouldn’t be entire populations trying to evacuate to USA by fair means or foul. If ever there was a chance to clean up the cesspit Trump is offering it.
        Meanwhile back in NZ, we import our drug dealers from all over the world, give them a hug and respect their privacy.

    Perhaps Winston Peters, in his capacity as Foreign Minister, could explain what is meant in regard to the Czech Republic when his chosen Prime Minister, Ardern, will “not discuss further details of the Sroubek case, such as whether the man’s life might be in danger, but said “you can draw a fair conclusion on why the Minister made his decision”.
    
    What does Winston “read between the lines” in this example of transparency, integrity and honesty, from his New Zealand First-selected Labour Government’s policy on immigration?

      Winston has worked out the real reason for Lees-Galloway’s decision and that’s why he’s been silent on the matter.
      He’s making sure that when the shit hits the fan none of it splatters on him.

        You are correct Captn. Some random questions.
        
        1. Does this incident have paralells with one some years ago involving LAX.
        
        2. Will the Police Commissioner issue a denial as he did last time.
        
        3. Will this be like Watergate where Richard Milhaus Nixon was bought down by the cover up not the crime.
        
        4. Will someone in Immigration find it all too much and release the documentation around the real reason to a source not the MSM who are covering up the cover up in the main.
        
        5. Will Winston walk away from the COL not because of his MPs who have the ethics morals and principles of swamp rats but because at least some of his Party members threaten to walk away if he doesn’t.
        
        No doubt KBer have many other random questions that require answers.

  Lees-Galloway has proven he’s not working for the best interest of New Zealanders and he’s making our country less safe. If he can’t provide an explanation then he is simply not capable of being a Minister.
  
  And I’m not the only one who thinks this……

It is little wonder that business confidence is falling.

  The Czech Republic has an excellent police force, and any suggestion that Antolik is in danger on return home is absolute nonsense. If there is any truth in the suggestion his life is as risk (which I don’t believe there is) then he’d be more at risk in New Zealand than he would in be the Czech Republic. ILG has clutched at the wrong straw/lie here.
  
  The truth is Antolik must have leverage over some powerful people, and he’s used this leverage very successfully.
  
  If the real truth about this case can’t be surfaced then we’ve stopped living in a democracy.

    After the Second World War farms were divided and sold to ex-Servicemen who had given up a significant period of their lives (often through conscription.) The farms were allocated by a ballot system which could only be entered by those with genuine need and genuine interests in farming. The process was initially designed by Labour but subsequently administered by National. It is difficult to compare the system which followed the War to the hypocritically designed mess we are all paying for thanks to the idiotic Twyford.

      Until the early 1970s, the State was carving up old grazing runs, pouring in capital to develop them, then balloting them off to young applicants who wanted to own their own farms.

        There was a similar system after World War 1 for returned soldiers.
        
        It largely failed because they mostly put the veterans on grazing country that still needed capital as well as labour to develop as farmland. No help was provided with working capital, and many, or probably most, of the soldiers settled on the farms had to walk off them.

  Its quite comical the backtracking they are having to do as they realise their own policies are poorly implemented.
  
  Twyfords comment that it is for all New Zealanders who are struggling highlights the lack of prioritisation. They might be struggling but they are ok (it looks like they weren’t struggling either with all of the word travel they have managed to fit in). This couple would have gotten into a new house the same way we all did, saving. A few more years of doing the hard yards and they would be home owners.
  
  Surely the priority should be, if we are to believe their own words, low income NZers?

The anti plastic lady on Garner showed shampoo and deodorant in block soap form. She raved that the shampoo worked on her hair and the panel sort of gooed. How much for the shampoo, oh around $20, but it lasts 6 months. She said the world is moving away from plastics, but no one questioned the 5 dirty Asian plastic choked rivers. And yes, she sounded so much like a Remuera lady.

    lifes, my hairdresser has a vast range of shampoos in plastic bottles, and I can’t see him going cardboard. Imagine the mess if his delivery guy got the shampoo cartons wet and the contents turned to foamy mush. I visited a museum once which had old fashioned glass bottles containing all kinds of kitchen foods and sauces. Glass of course is dangerous in the wrong hands which is why plastic beer jugs were introduced. Oh dear, environment warriors just can’t seem to win.

      The woman said we used to do things differently before plastic. Yes, but it was often messy and not as convenient hence the huge growth in commercial and household plastic useage. It’s called progress.

Anybody willing to bet against Jacinda Ardern wading in and getting involved in this?
She hates the USA and she hates Police.
I reckon she will likely try and rescue this Labour voter from their evil clutches…

  Yes, he has that ‘I vote Labour’ sort of expression. Our Cindy might despise Police in general, but she values the seconded men who are charged to protect her and her baaaabbby.

  Rather unlikely Jacinda hates the Police. Her father was a senior police officer. And she was Labour’s spokesperson on Police for a while.

    Since when does having a parent who is a Police Officer make you ‘Pro Police’??
    Since High School Ardern has spent her whole life affiliated with hardcore left wing ‘Activist’ groups. These outfits detest Police and any kind of authority (Go to any “Rent a Mob’ Protest and watch them screaming abuse at the Cops)
    And you also argue because she was Labour’s spokesperson for Police ? Jesus don’t make me laugh…

I see Tommy Robinson’s supporter in chief, Katie Hopkins, is being absolutley slammed by the MSM today for highlighting the Jewish role in mass immigration in the West.

Katie Hopkins tweeted she was

“watching the pin-the-blame on the donkey. Look to the Chief Rabbi and his support for mass migration across the Med, there you will find your truths.”

https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/katie-hopkins-chief-rabbi-pittsburgh-shooting-synagogue-tree-of-life-robert-bowers-1.471688

Now the last thing Katie Hopkins can be accused of is being a so called “anti-semite” (see these articles below to see what I mean – she calls Israel her “natural home”) but like many of us, she is sick of the hypocrisy of Jews who push for 3rd world immigration into the West whilst Israel remains an ethnostate fortress who administers blood tests on those making aliyah to ensure racial purity.

https://www.therebel.media/katie_hopkins_israel_is_my_natural_home_full_speech

https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/katie-hopkins-tommy-robinson-and-why-israel-needs-to-up-its-media-game-1.460520

Yes, she was insensitive in her timing, but the issue of mass 3rd world immigration to the West can’t be ignored for fear of hurting people’s feelings – it is literally the death of civilisation as we know it if not stopped.

They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. From all of us Katie, thank you for your bravery in telling the truth knowing the furore it would create (FWIW, Twitter and the ADL have already censored her)

    It is true all the religious “leaders” (except the Dalai Lama) are falling into line with the Globalists and calling for unending 3rd world immigration into European countries only.
    
    It is always the “little guys” that pay the price for the follies of the elites no matter what regime.
    
    There is however still seemingly a puzzling support from Jews for mass 3rd world immigration into White Countries but not into Israel.
    
    Example 1:
    97% of Jews voted for Macron in a 2 horse race
    
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/french-israelis-vote-overwhelmingly-for-macron/
    
    Whilst in Israel, the majority of Jews agree that “Africans are a cancer” with over a 1/3rd of Jews condoning violence against Africans in Israel:
    
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/most-israeli-jews-agree-africans-are-a-cancer/
    
    These are the facts no matter how uncomfortable they may be for some.

How many of you remember that twit Chippie Hipkins telling us that the Ministry of Education was seriously underfunded by the previous government & not able to deliver the vital infrastructure etc?

Well, based on some anecdotal examples I know of, that is rubbish. For example, drive north from Auckland on SH1 & you come to the sleepy town of Wellsford, right next door to Rodney College is the old primary school. The old primary school has been closed now for some years & is a derelict dump for vandals, a new school was built 300 meters along a side street. My point is, why has this asset been left to rot? It is not as though there is not development happening in Welsford, a little further north is a subdivision on a green field site. Do these wasteful bureaucrats & politicians worry about how they waste taxpayer/ratepayer money? Clearly no, because all we need is another working group to formulate how to fleece NZers of more tax!

  2008….at a rally…Upper Hutt college principle stated:
  There has been a moratorium on spending of any kind (on schools) in the Rimutaka electorate for
  FIVE years. We have mushrooms growing in the halls.
  After 9 long years of National, Upper Hutt college has improved and expanded.
  1 year of Chippie in charge and we have seen NOTHING in the Rimutaka electorate.
  All advancements, of any kind, in our electorate, have been by the NATIONAL govt.

As promised by me a few days ago I can now report on the latest Colmar Brunton poll.
The preffered pm
Ardern 42
Bridges 7
Collins 5
Peters 4
is no where near 100%
I have checked their detailed summary on their website and there are lots of people on half a percent, but the biggest one of all is…..
Don’t Know 30%
This has gone up from 19% a year a ago.
I suspect that these are mainly National supporters who cannot decide who they would like as the pm.

      As you can see on here, the labour interns are too stupid to work anything out they just wait for Ardern to tell what is happening and they buy into it completely.
      
      Until the media make an attempt to balance fact and fiction her star will remain but the world around her will crumble.
      
      You will eventually get to Ardern personally on 40% but labour back to their rightful “Angry Andy” 25%.

The Looming Tower is on Prime at the moment and its well worth watching. Its about the conflict between America and Al Qaeda.

It made me start wondering why the west is bending over backwards to accommodate Muslim immigrants and not shut the door on them. It looks to me like a bullying mentality. There are two types of victims of bullying; those who stand up to them and fight back, and those who cower to them, are always terrified and try to convince themselves that they can be friends. Only the first approach ever works.

It’s time for NZ to harden up regarding criminal immigration. It wouldn’t be hard – just send them back to where they came from ad don’t let them in the door. NZ law administered without fear or favour!

Questions for Judith Collins to use this afternoon:

To the Minister for Housing and Urban Development – does he stand by all his statements?

Supplementary question – which of the following statements is true; that “we’ve set the limits reasonably high so that 92% of all home buyers will be able to have a crack at Kiwibuild” or “It is not a programme aimed at low-income families because they may not be able to service a KiwiBuild mortgage.”

I’m sure Ms Collins will be fine thereafter!

Posted this last night and thought it very important to repost it again this morning !~

“Just one week was allowed for public hearings as it was rammed through parliament’s Environment Select Committee. As we said in our submission:” “That you attempt to rush it through gives the impression you are not proud of what you are doing.”

  This oil and gas ban really stinks of “by royal decree” (sorry “executive order”) that seems common in the CoL, though it is usually branded “Captain’s call”.
  
  What the Leftists should realise is: that just opens the door for National or anyone else to do the same when they get in power.

  These are the kinds of people whom the government, via the Environment select committee, should be paying attention to. This kaumatua from Waitara was able to submit to the select committee, but the way the process has been truncated, and the refusal of the select committee to schedule a hearing in Taranaki has left many people without a voice.

  I thought Princess Cinderella was a Republican? She can’t leave Harry and Meghan’s side. Seriously, Meghan will need a restraining order soon. Remember the clowns howling on the Standard when Key put on a barbecue for Prince William? And the gifts, a CD which he might not have equipment to play it these days and giving cheap local jewelry to a millionaire Hollywood actress married to a prince. And yet people were mocking Muldoon’s kingfisher gift.

I heard the previous Immigration Minister under the National lead Government on the radio this morning claim that he drew the line at allowing certain foreign criminals to stay in NZ, including drug & sex offenders.
Wasn’t there a big fuss early last year when Sultan Ali Abdul Ali Akbari was allowed to remain. I’m pretty sure that was under his watch.
In 2015 he was jailed for two years and one month for five charges of indecent acts on girls aged 8 and 10 and indecently assaulting an 18-year-old.
His offending happened while Akbari was on bail awaiting trial on a 2013 charge.

        Thanks for all the questions RW Capitalist. Here’s my attempt to answer them.
        
        Did labour leave us with deficits into the distant future?
        No, Labour enjoyed surpluses through most of their previous government. However you could argue that the GFC led to a steep and quick deterioration of our accounts and as a result in the lead up to the GFC in 2008 things weren’t looking so rosey.
        
        Did labour leave us in recession?
        No, but you could argue that the impact of the GFC on our economy put us into a recession. If you can find a way to prove that Labour predicted the GFC and failed to act on it, I’m all ears.
        
        Did labour leave us with MASSIVE welfare commitments?
        
        Potentially, but these massive welfare commitments were due predominantly to Superannuation, which in its present form was created by Muldoon’s National government.
        
        Did labour leave, and I quote, “The cupboard is bare”?
        
        May 2015, John Key:
        “Prime Minister John Key is lowering expectations about measures to combat child poverty in this week’s budget.
        
        Mr Key says there’ll be “some support” for those suffering material deprivation.
        
        “But you’d appreciate that there’s a limited amount of resources that we’ve got in very tight financial conditions,” he told reporters on Monday.”
        
        The cupboard is bare, was also spoken by Muldoon. It’s a common thing.
        
        Did National inherit a mess as well as a GFC?
        No mess, there was a budget surplus, and the GFC hit in September, Government elected in November.
        
        Did National handle the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes, while all this was going on?
        
        The Key government did what they thought was the best thing to do in the circumstances. A Labour government would likely have done similar things, especially on the borrowing.
        
        and finally
        
        Did National leave an economy where:
        we had 3 % growth
        falling unemployment
        rising wages
        Govt. surplus
        reduced taxes
        
        NZ GDP was better under the previous Labour government than the previous National government:
        
        https://tradingeconomics.com/new-zealand/gdp-growth
        
        As for unemployment, that’s largely a component of the changing face of employment, i.e. “McJobs”, the “gig economy”, and the change in how we record unemployment.
        
        Wages rose, but again, it’s how we measure the metric that’s important. It doesn’t work to simply average out all wages. Inequality increased due to those at the top earning substantially more as those at the bottom faced increasing tax due to the impact of tax cuts and GST increases causing a redistribution of the taxation system. Although, to a certain extent it was alleviated by changes to Working for Families it still favoured the well-off.
        
        As we have seen, surpluses appear to have been achieved through unsustainable cuts in essential services.

  I may be confusing “retired cop” with National MP Mark Mitchell, who says he is prepared to go to the Czech Republic “to get to the bottom of it” if he had to.
  
  @IainLG has completely failed to inform the country why he granted Sroubek NZ residency. I advanced cases this year of good productive law abiding citizens who were declined. This just feels rotten. If I have to travel to the Czech Republic to get to the bottom of it I will.

    Apparently Mitchell has retained membership of an international association of Police, which will enable him to talk to cops in the Czech Republic. Good on him for being proactive, and hopefully he will find out the truth in this sordid business.

Not really sure why there is so much surprise and outrage on KB concerning Karel Sroubek as any casual observer would have noticed that Immigration New Zealand and it’s associated side kicks ceased to be a credible body about 20 years ago when the immigration boom really swung into gear.
They are completely overloaded with cases, staff lack experience and in a lot of cases various UN treaties successive governments have signed up to tie their hands.
Of course a huge amount of their staff are now immigrants themselves which opens up all sorts of avenues for corrupt and dishonest behaviour to top it all off.
In this case the minister is in the gun but I could guarantee you that what you are seeing here is the tip of the iceberg and if the average New Zealander could see what is really going on this portfolio they would be horrified.

      Christchurch has a “sink tax”. A sink makes a separate dwelling unit with $23,000 fee attached.
      
      When is a washbasin a sink?

Jewish leaders – “Trump not welcome in Pittsburgh unless he denounces white nationalism”

https://nypost.com/2018/10/29/jewish-group-to-trump-you-are-not-welcome-in-pittsburgh/

The absolute cheek of these people.

Imagine having the audacity to think you can tell the US president where he can and can’t go in the country he was duly elected to govern by the people of that country.

And they wonder why people don’t like them.

    Another case being sexual emergency, or not understanding consent when the victim is 10 years old.
    
    In October 2016, the Austrian Supreme Court ov erturned the man’s conviction of rape, while upholding his second charge of aggravated sexual assault of a minor. The rationale was that the prosecution had not provided evidence that the man did not know that his victim did not consent. The man was kept in police custody until his retrial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Vienna_swimming_pool_rape

Usually a ‘translate’ button / box wuill appear automatically on the top RH corner of your computer screen. If it’s there it might help.

If not, then herewith the article’s final two paragraphs (literal, machine-based translations BTW, hence the at times peculiar language usage)…

‘Dear friends, the ruling of the European Court, and even before the Courts of Justice of Austria, make us feel that the judges in Europe behave as if we were already subjected to Islam . To absolve Muhammad from the obvious observation that, having married a six-year-old girl has taken a behavior attributable to pedophilia, have introduced the criterion of “non-recurrence” of the crime, so if he did it only once is not blameless. But above all, according to the European Courts of Justice, we need to put forward the issue of security: if to say that Muhammad was a pedophile will eventually unleash the violence of the Muslims, then we must not say. If instead to outrage Jesus does not unleash any violence on the part of Christians, then it can be outraged.

Well it’s time to tell the truth in freedom. Only by telling the truth freely about Islam, Muhammad, Allah and the Koran, we Europeans will be able to redeem our decadent civilization. We go forward with our heads up and with a straight back. Together we will do’.

  Thanks Komata as free speech must be guarded, so truth will prevail.
  It seems like the beginnings of the “Pact of Umar” and those judges are happy to oblige and recognize a new judicial system of sharia laws.
  Just some milder points of this mellow kindly agreement. 🙂
  
  Prohibition against telling a lie about Muslims.
  ~Obligation to show deference toward Muslims. If a Muslim wishes to sit, non-Muslim should be rise from his seats and let the Muslim sit.
  ~Prohibition against preaching to Muslims in an attempt to convert them from Islam.
  ~Prohibition against preventing the conversion to Islam of some one who wants to convert.

  Islam must be exposed as submitting to a “peace of hell”.

I have an elderly neighbor who said he felt mildly shameful when he put only $20.00 in his car instead of the normal $ 40.00 that he’s been putting in weekly for a decade ,” just can’t afford it anymore”he said .
” The fat little C_ _T ” were his next words when i pointed out he’d voted for the ferret Peters.
This is a man in his 80’s that is paying $3500,00 in rates a year after his seniors discount.
Reckons life is no fun when every dollar has to be counted and it’s got much worse in the last 12 months….

They also paid 25% mortgages on their houses and started out low on the ladder for wages/salaries, bought houses in the “poor” part of town and worked up etc. And instead we’re allowing Hell’s Angels associating, aggravated robbery doing, drug importing and making, and document fraud perpetuating scum permanent residence and will likely be paying him a social welfare income once he’s done a stretch.

America’s True Deficit: US To Borrow Over $1.3 Trillion In 2018 | Zero Hedge

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-29/americas-true-deficit-us-borrow-over-13-trillion-2018

Confirming recently reduced estimates of US debt borrowing needs – mostly as a result of new funds brought in via Trump’s trade tariffs – the Treasury Department today lowered its estimates of fourth-quarter borrowings to $425 billion from the $440 billion forecast it made in July, while assuming an end-of-December cash balance of $410 billion, up from $390 billion 4 months ago.

The revised Treasury numbers bring the total net borrowing needs for calendar 2018 at $1.338 trillion, while borrowings for fiscal year 2018 (which ended on Sept. 30) amounted to just under $1.2 trillion. … read more via hyperlink above …

  It’s weird. The judge seems to indicate that he would have accepted the stabbing if she had immediately called the Police. But in that case, why not accept the manslaughter and only charge the woman with desecration of a corpse or something?
  
  “I accept the stabbing occurred in circumstances when you were enraged by what the deceased had done to you and was threatening to do to you again,” he said.
  
  Peters fatally stabbed Grant Jason Cassar, 51, with a blow to his heart using a kitchen knife at her home in Capalaba in December 2015.
  
  “But she should have sought immediately help after the stabbing.
  
  “Instead you set about the process of callously disposing of the deceased body.”
  
  He said Peters had shown no respect for Cassar’s human dignity.” [Human dignity, pffft]
  
  Instead she was specifically charged with manslaughter: “A Brisbane woman has been sentenced to nine years in jail for manslaughter after brutally killing her rapist.”

In the places where most of the plastic waste ends up in the waterways there are children making money in collecting it. Filament can be strengthened, colored with minimal additives. It is a big growth industry with an increasing number of various size systems coming on the market. But boy are NZ showing the world how clever they are by getting rid of plastic bags.

The IPCC has arbitrarily changed the definition of the word ‘climate’. Since 1930, the definition of ‘climate’ adopted by the World Meteorological Organisation is the average of a particular weather parameter over the past 30 years. It is an empirical measure based on observational evidence.

For its recent report the IPCC has changed the definition of climate to what has been loosely called “the climate we are in.”. It still uses 30 years for its estimate of global warming and hence climate – but now it is the 30 years centred on the present.

There are some obvious problems with this hidden change of goalposts. We have observational temperature data for the past 15 years but, of course, none for the next 15 years. However, never let it be said that the absence of data is a problem for inventive climate scientists.

The IPCC cherry-picks input from sources where historical data has been ‘adjusted’, and from scientists whose predictive models have been shown to be shown to be poor as best, or absolute failures as worst.

Junk science isn’t science. It’s quasi-religious dogma. And this folks is why we are being taxed more.

The Red Radio web site has Jenny Salesa, the Associate Minister of Education, talking up the need for the various Polynesian languages plus Fijian in our schools, plus Hindi and Mandarin.

Salesa claims projections indicate that 50 per cent of New Zealand’s population will be non-white, but doesn’t give her target date.

Do people who migrate to New Zealand because it is a First World Western country, really want to fragment it into the Third World countries they come from?

It would be good to have impartial population projections as sound as possible, so that those who want New Zealand to remain a First World, Western country, can tailor political support to suit.

The opening of the Red Radio report is the wake-up call for white New Zealanders:

“Our Pakeha-dominated school system could be yesterday’s news as Tomorrow’s Schools undergoes a massive review.”

Salesa:

    Salesa has recognised that the bicultural teaching approach applied in NZ schools is inappropriate
    
    (pretty obvious even 20+ years ago when I was at Training College being inculcated).
    
    Some of the comments are great!
    Nine-year-old Tim Chen wanted to see teachers more engaged in learning.

    I do not quite understand the government’s answers. The opposition must bear some responsibility. I understand that a number of foreign criminals were allowed to stay under National. What is not clear is whether official decided they could stay or if officials said they should not stay and a National Minister overruled the officials and allowed them to stay.
    
    Another thing that is not clear is in the case referred to if the offender had PR. The fact that someone has PR should not mean they should not be deported for a serious crime but that the offending should be more serious and/or more repetitive.
    
    I do not think the opposition questioning was aggressive enough. They could have asked for an assurance that no Labour MPs, senior Labour officials or their close friends or families were clients of this drug dealer.
    
    The question could have been ruled out of order by the Speaker but it would be on the record.

Gosh -the woke left really are being tied in knots by this Government.

Firstly the find themselves supporting a TPPA which has been recycled with a couple of new letters in its name which don’t mean much.

Secondly they have to defend a Minister accused of assaulting a staff member , or in the cases of the #metoo movement, disappear entirely and refuse to comment.

Thirdly they have to support a Government that takes a hard line on rolling over on the countless pay demands made by unions seeking pay-back for election support.

Now they are having to support the fact that entitled and seemingly well-off middle-class millenials are the winners in the KiwiScam lottery, rather than those people that “really can’t” afford to buy their own homes.

It must be hard being left.

  What will really have them in knots, not that they will likely realise it, is that I quite like Labour Governments. I make a bit betting against the economy, because I know Labour will produce the conditions I need.

Watch this dick from MSNBC interview the Israeli ambassador to the United States and try and get him to blame Trump and his rhetoric for the attack on the Jewish synagogue in America.

https://youtu.be/IJHIdmT9JPs?t=715

The guy doesn’t fall for it though. Instead he says of Trump, “I’m not aware of a single non-Israeli leader that has made such a strong statement in condemning anti-Semitism. I have never heard a non-Israeli leader say that.”

I’m totally disgusted by the mainstream media these days. Just when you don’t think they can go any lower, they do.

The National Party are currently using the strategy to not talk about the JLR saga as they realise it does them more harm than good to keep it in the media, and the fact that the more they try to discredit JLR, the more he has to dish back. This blog has also been doing its best to tow the National Party line – pretending that it’s not blogging on the JLR saga out of concern for his wellbeing.

The MSM are protecting the identity of the female MP who had an affair with him because she’s a woman and gets a pussy pass. If a male MP had sent a text message calling a female MP a bald fuck and to go kill herself there would be howls of rage from the feminists.

In any event, everybody knows who it is anyway, she’s been named left and right in the comments section on WhaleOil’s blog. I’m presuming JLR is also leaving some ammunition in reserve in case National try to threaten him with anything else, as he can always hang it over their heads that he can easily expose her the way they’ve been exposing him.

    Yep! If you want a career as a drug pusher NZ is the place for to be:
    
    …..” New Zealanders told the Global Drug Survey (GDS) 2018 they paid more than $360 on average for a gram of cocaine – nearly four times what Americans said they paid.
    
    Kiwis also paid the most for MDMA pills, and the fourth-highest price for LSD compared with the 20 countries surveyed in the GDS.”…..

    So instead, those seeking a buzz buy meth at $50 to $100/point. A point would get the average person fried for three days & is highly addictive.

    IF Antolik is hear because of huan rights issue and we read between the lines and imagine that he is at risk in his own country because he turned evidence against some baddies. Why if he is afraid for his safety is over here contacting his old criminal Czech jacking up drug deals. It doesn’t seem like he was trying to lay low fearing for his life by severring ties with the Czech underworld.

Julian Assange loses court case over cat duties, internet bills inside Ecuadorian embassy

A judge has rejected WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s request to loosen new living requirements, including paying for his internet and cleaning up after his cat, that he says are meant to push him into leaving the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
…
Mr Assange argued the new measures, which also include requiring him to pay for his own medical bills and laundry services, are designed to coerce him into ending his asylum.
…
Ecuador’s government contended the requirements are aimed at peaceful cohabitation in tight quarters in the small embassy, where Mr Assange takes up more than a third of the space. Officials have complained that his soccer playing and skateboarding have damaged the building.

What a bludger!

Meanwhile, in NZ, we have a bunch of Free Assange NZ groupies who want Assange to have “permanent political asylum in New Zealand”.

        I’ve lost count of the number of trolls who have popped up over the years, claiming to be neither left nor right, but who inevitably turn out to be hardcore lefties.

        Yes. They give the word “but” a real workout. eg “I masturbate to a photo of Maggie Thatcher “but” Labour have some good ideas & Jacinda is beautiful”.
        
        I actually enjoy engaging with the likes of mikenmild, BWAV & itstricky. At least they’re honest wankers! 🙂

But we haven’t got any hardcore lefty trolls on here… no-one spouting working-class philosophy.

We’ve got a bunch of confused folk who leap from cause of the day to the next fashionable virtue signal.

  I don’t think that the archetypal working class, Catholic coal miner with photos of Micky Savage & The Pope above a small coal fire exists any more Maggy.

      I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Earlier today Fraser House issued an urgent recall notice. Apparently you were issued with faulty parts. They’re looking for you and would like you to return to base immediately!

    I did some housework for a sweet old biddy in Hendon Ave Mt Roskill in the early 80’s.
    She had a photo of Mickey Savage on her wall.
    I didn’t know who he was so I asked her “is that your hubby?”
    She smiled and said, “I wish it was”.

The NZ Herald (in any article not attributed to a journalist) is outraged:

Australian newspaper The Courier Mail has captioned a poignant photo of Prince Harry with Meghan being greeted with a hongi in Wellington as the “Sniff test”. The Brisbane-based paper continues with its ignorant comments, headlining an article about the royal couple’s arrival in Wellington: “NZ really nose how to welcome royal cuzzies”.

They quote someone from Waikato University:

University of Waikato associate professor at the faculty of Māori and Indigenous studies Tom Roa said it was not funny and would be offensive in Australia, New Zealand or the UK, regardless of an indigenous context, to suggest that people of a high status had to be sniffed. … “They might have an audience that consider it funny, but I don’t find it funny in the least.”

They could (for balance) have quoted David Garrett too:

I too am embarrassed when visitors to the country are “greeted” by a group of half naked Maori who then perform a war dance in front of them … I am not sure quite what “my culture” is…but it sure as hell isn’t represented by a bunch of half naked Maori doing a war dance and rolling their eyes like madmen.

    I once had someone tell me (half-jokingly) that the width of stripes on a pinstripe suit, and the space between them, is an indication of seniority.

Interesting twist. Was watching Mike Heggetty? Mike Pence has said he was talking to an Honduran diplomat who said Venezuela is funding the lefty caravans heading for the USA boarder. Two more have formed. 5000 USA troops have been deployed for boarder protection.

A CONCERNING new report has revealed Australians face a collective $700 billion cut to their wealth.

The Household Deleveraging Risk Indicator, put together by US investment banking giant Morgan Stanley, has warned Australia “leads the world in dangerous debt”, noting that of all the G10 countries, we’re most at risk of a deleveraging of household debt.

Ominously enough, the banking giant said there was an “imminent risk” this could happen as early as next year. … read more via hyperlink above …
