Trevor unfriends Metiria

January 28th, 2010 at 5:17 pm by David Farrar

Metiria Turia blogs:

Trevor Mallard defriended me on Facebook last night and I have to tell you the story. He also defriended another person for asking the same questions I did. Not terribly sporting, I would have thought.

Metiria’s sin was to point out the gap between Labour’s rhetoric on the minimum wage and their record.

And Trevor got so annoyed he unfriended her!! Seriously – just like a teenager does when they are in a huff.

I love Labour’s strategy for making friends and influencing people.

First Shane Jones insults a priest at Ratana, and them declares war against the Maori Party.

And now Trevor Mallard defriends on Facebook the co-leader of the Green Party.

What next? Will Annette King call Jim Anderton a authoritarian tyrant, to get rid of their one remaining friend?

    That is a bit strong, arseholes are necessary and useful and that is not a fair description for Trevor.

    I’m still shattered Trev defriended me. I’m not too sure why he did it. I guess it didn’t help when I countered his and his fellow “friends” slobbering over Herr Klarks NZ something award. I think i made positive comments about something else and next thing I was goneburger. A touchy bloke.
    I would love to be a Nat MP during Question time. I would bait the little kid, hoping he would ask me outside, until he cracked .. it wouldn’t take too long.

    It sure looks like Labour has given up on winning the next election; perhaps they have given up on Phil and just hope that someone more effective will take the leadership before 2014. David Shearer has today bagged the proposed Puhoi-Wellsford motorway referring to it as a ‘holiday road’ (presumably for rich pricks going north to the batch), and wants the money spent on city rail. Bagging road building anywhere in NZ is not politically savvy; in Auckland it is political suicide.

    This is all about Phil Goff. Have Labour ever had a bigger panty waist in charge? I think not.
    Can you see this type of childish stupidity being permitted when Clark and her Renfield were running the team with the Iron Fist?
    This week we have had five chins Jones alienating the MP and now Tiger has alienated the greens whilst making himself look like a 12 year old girl. These wankers should get the hell off facebook and get Bebo accounts.
    And Goff should call Clark in New York and see if she can lend him her pair of big hairy nuts for a while until he can introduce his team of fraggle rock escapees to some party discipline.

    Trevor Mallard is really screwing any ambitions of leadership that he might have ever held. Labours current malaise is deep rooted in the command and control system operated by Herr Helen. Their problem is that she took the handbook with her, and the main driver of the system. There is clearly a void, and Goff is a Flounder, who is so obviously floundering. Just love the constant negative narratives from the idealogues. They have lost the plot completely. John Key might be less adventurous than many would have hoped for, but he is following well researched advice from Lord Ashcroft, amongst others.

    Maybe I don’t understand FB etiquette, but it looks to me that Metiria was doing some posturing – maybe a bit tacky, but not offensive. I’d suggest that your comments were unnecessarily combative and that you overreacted.
