Kiwi Pipe Band in Libya
September 1st, 2009 at 6:34 am by David FarrarThe Dom Post reports:
As Robin Loomes prepares to lead his pipe band at a political party in Libya today, a stern message from his mother will ring in his ears.
Mr Loomes, a UnitedFuture candidate in Port Hills in Christchurch at the last election, will lead his pipers and drummers band during celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the revolution that brought Muammar Gaddafi to power. …
Prime Minister John Key called the tour an “interesting choice of gig”.
The story doesn’t do justice to the PM’s reaction. If you are bored watch his press conference. Most of the questions are what you would expect – on the ETS, mining on DOC land, the SAS in Afghanistan. There was even a question presumably inspired by my blog, about whether Nancy Wake would be given an honour (the answer is it is under consideration for the NY Honours list).
At about 15 minutes into it, the question is asked about the (private) NZ pipe band playing at Gaddafi’s 40th anniversary and the look on Key’s face is priceless. A sort of “what are you expecting me to say” look. He finally mutters how it is an interesting choice of gig.

A New Zealander, a former United Future candidate, celebrates with the murdering totalitarian swine Ghaddafi who just welcomed home the Lockerbie bomber released from jail by a corrupt Labour government putting sleazy business deals before the justice mandated to the families of the Lockerbie victims.
The same Ghadaffi that preached unending hatred towards America, and that Ronald Reagan once bombed, is now assisted by Hillary Clinton in seeking to establish a residence in the USA.
So bizarre, I just don’t know what to say, other than that the public’s gormless acceptance of the widespread corruption in politics today is something that has to change.
Robin Loomes and his group, and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are typical of the “useful idiots” that abound in the West, and blindly foster allegiances with people whose only real objective is our destruction.

Loved the reaction. It was such a random question.

I reckon we should pass the hat and pay for a one-way ticket for the party leader himself.
Vote:It would be a great way for getting rid of the meretricious Peter Dunne, once and for all.

I reckon it’s punishment for Gadaffi (or indeed anyone) to have to listen to a pipes and drums band for any length of time, so I’m good with it.
