Helen Clark arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour
March 19th, 2009 at 8:13 am by David FarrarLabour Politician Helen Clark has appeared in court after being arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour:
… Labour MP accused of being drunk and disorderly in a hotel told police they were ‘pigs’ when she was arrested, a court heard today.
Helen Clark, 54, denies using threatening words and behaviour and being drunk and disorderly in the Great Northern Hotel …
Then she allegedly said to officers: ‘I remember in the Seventies when police were referred to as pigs. That’s what you all are, pigs.
‘Look everyone, I’m being arrested by pigs.’ …
Bar staff had noted that her speech was slurred and had refused to serve her any more alcohol.
Miss Allison said Clark had responded with abuse.
The court was told that Clark had said: ‘Why am I being treated like this? Why am I treated like a ****? I have been humiliated.’
She had added: ‘Who is the bitch giving orders… you, you, calling me drunk?’
Miss Allison said attempts to calm Clark had failed.
Clark had told a member of the wholesale staff: ‘Don’t patronise me… **** off.’
Kiwiblog will provide updates to the court case as they occur.

If only it were “our Helen” in the dock. The attitude of both Helen’s appears remarkably similar.

To be fair, the quote does give the age of this “Helen Clark” as 54, where as ex-”imperius leader Clark” is 59… However I doubt many people except dpf (and maybe Peter Davis) know that.

Ahh bugger that!….I am going to take a “lefty” approach to this story, I am not going to let little things like the truth get in the way of spreading this as far and wide as I can.

Fomenting happy mischief indeed
. You cunningly started the quote immediately after the key word – ‘former’ .

The headline has a ring of truth because Helen Clark spent her last years in office impersonating Robert Mulldoon.
Vote:March 19th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Of course it wasn’t our Helen.
Vote:The headline described her as a ‘babe’.

No way could it have been our helen, there would have been an element of fun getting to that state. dear ex-leader wouldn’t have a clue how to get that far if it involved fun

ok, so I’m going to go against the flow (and earn a boatload of -ve karma I’m sure) and say that this post is beneath you David…. even if it did have a humour tag, which it doesn’t.
[DPF: The headline was factually correct. And if anyone was stupid enough to repeat it without clicking on the link, then they have learnt a lesson]

and our Helen would still have Howard “My Personal Policeman” Broad on speed dial to get her out of the shite.

getstaffed if nothing else kiwiblog has taught us that almost nothing is beneath DPF because you’ll never go broke catering to lowest common denominator.

Pigs, not poodles was the real give away.
Otherwise I was convinced.
However, don’t think Helen Clark takes fluids by mouth. It’s an Alien thing!

Indeed it was correct, and anyone stupid enough to forward it really does deserve all they get. The clue for me was public drunkenness. Megalomaniac personality types don’t get trashed in public.
However much I dislike ‘our’ Helen (actually I really despise her..) I stand by my opinion that this post is a bit, um, low quality for you David. Still… your place, your rules and I appreciate you hosting this rabble, incl myself, here at Chateau Kiwiblog.

Credit to NZ Helen Clark I guess – not for one second did I think this related to her.

You tricked me because the Great Northern Hotel was at the foot of Queen Street and was a great watering hole about the time Helen Clark commenced university studies. The main entrance was just south of the Customs Street West intersection with Queen Street.

Unfortunately I wasn’t fooled (I love a good joke even when I am the “victim”) but like Big Bruv that won’t stop me from spreading this story far and wide.
‘ does show up the humourless wankers among us though, well done DPF.
