Lying lowlife
A couple of days ago it was reported that Lisa-Marie Thompson, who owned the number plate “ARYAN1″:
She said she had no idea what “Aryan” meant and the apparent nod to Adolf Hitler’s “master” race actually referred to her former boyfriend – Andrew Ryan.
I was a bit suspicious of this claim, and so was the Dominion Post who did some nice investigating:
A woman who claims that her personalised licence plate “ARYAN1″ is the initial and surname of a former boyfriend has links to white supremacist groups and is backed by the National Front.
Upper Hutt mother Lisa Marie Thompson – who has references to neo-Nazi white-power organisation Blood & Honour on a personal webpage – has denied being racist.
The Facebook page of the body piercer, seamstress and mother of three includes “friends” posing before swastika flags and claiming allegiance to “white nationalist” skinhead groups such as Crew 38 and Hammerskin Nation.
And final proof:
An Upper Hutt woman said she had trespassed Ms Thompson from her home and a former workplace because of concerns about her behaviour.
“Once she was yelling out, `You’re a nigger – dirty abo.’
“She’s always hassling me, at work, at home. I’ve called the police on her multiple times.
“She knows exactly what `Aryan’ means. She’s the most racist person I know.”
A former boyfriend said Ms Thompson – who works part-time at an Upper Hutt tattoo parlour – was prejudiced against “everyone who’s not really her kind”.
Her kind being bigoted lowlife. I feel very sorry for her kids. Growing up with a mother who hates, can warp you. On the other hand, sometimes it will push them in the other direction – they’ll be determined not to end up like the mother.

What’s Hone’s excuse ?

“Her kind being bigoted lowlife.”
Yep, imagine if she was so racist as to start up a political force called “The European Party”.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:12 pm
She sounds like a *great* advertisement for the master race.
At least it’s not Christchurch for a change.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:21 pm
The original piece of journalism was very shoddy in that at no time did it address who owned the number plate ARYAN, which I see from http://www.plates.co.nz is unavailable.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Her, ‘it’s my boyfriend’s name’ story never made any sense.
If she has ‘ARYAN1′ who has ‘ARYAN’? Why did the license plate people allow this as the word is offensive?
It’s not like the word ‘aryan’ is in common use, the only way people use this word is in a racial context as part of a white supremacy skinhead culture or in reference to the Hitler master race.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Yawn.
Like it or not but most of the white Kiwis ARE Aryan.
So are most of the people of Iran (Aryan).
So are the people of the ancient Hindu scriptures.
The word means ‘pure’ or ‘refined’.

Ford driver. Predictable.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:28 pm
“The original piece of journalism was very shoddy”
Maybe, but of course whites supremacists are an easy target. Let’s see if these “investigative” journalists have the balls to take on the outright racism of some of the Maori supremacists.
Quiet as a politically correct mouse I’ll bet you.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Swiftman the infidel – its still offensive regardless of the original meaning, it’s the context and the history of the word that is significant.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Interesting that she’s big enough to drive around town with ARYAN1 on her car, but isn’t brave enough to stand up to anyone asking her about her beliefs.
Kinda reminiscent of all the back-pedalling after Harawira’s white motherfucker comment; “he just wants to look after his kids”… “at least he’s honest in his beliefs, how many politicians can you say that about” etc etc
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:31 pm
It’s great to see Neo-Naziism alive and well in NZ.
Mind you, the ongoing drive to pander to all things Maori, and the anti-white sentiments held by many within Maoridom will no doubt drive at least some towards white supremacist views. As will increasingly pandering to the Islamic community if it continues, and the selling out of our asset base to offshore (asian) interests.
The fact that racist views are escalating across the board is beyond question …
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:34 pm
You cannot get away with saying that Angus.
Hone is Maori.

Kris K – Racism is bred out of fear and ignorance nothing else. There is never an excuse for it and neither should there be any acceptance.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Of course, the car isn’t on the road anyway. From http://www.carjam.co.nz:
Licence expired 1 month 4 days ago on 31st July 2010.
WOF expired 1 month 2 weeks 2 days ago on 19th July 2010.
Last WOF inspection did not pass.
And I’m sure that she wouldn’t dream of driving it in that state, the fine upstanding woman that she is.
At least her car is green; the car with the plate ARYAN is a Toyota Cavalier – a black one!
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:45 pm
““Her kind being bigoted lowlife.”
Yep, imagine if she was so racist as to start up a political force called “The European Party”.”
Good point.
Hm, DPF, why was this a story anyway? Somebody has a numberplate which a few – or even many – people could potentially take offence to. So what? Better to know who the racist pieces of shit are than not, I think.

More fundamentally, isn’t it an offshoot of nepotism & the human tendency for ingroup bias?

September 3rd, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Huh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan
That’s quite interesting. Wikipedia contradicts your last statement; it says that originally “aryan” was just the name of an ethnic group, so if it meant anything, it meant something like “the people who are us”. And who were that people? Seems like they were basically Persians. The word Iran means “the place where the Aryans live”.
I wonder how many neo-Nazis know that the original Aryans still live in Tehran?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:02 pm
“Brilliant self parody Kris.”
No it is not Luc. Its the truth, and an outcome that is down to the likes of you as much as the lady who is the subject of this thread.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:03 pm
SteveO – but a Toyota Cavalier is really a rebadged Chev Cavalier, not a Toyota at all. (Which explains why they are such awful cars.)
So the racial purity of ARYAN’s thinking is intact. (S)he’s putting up with driving a dodgy American POS day after day rather than get a cheap, solid and finely-engineered Corolla, Civic or any of the other good cars those dirty Nips make. The integrity of the thing is almost admirable…
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:13 pm
When these folk pop up its the duty of all halfway decent folk to say “piss right off” – without qualification.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:20 pm
YesWeDid 2:39 pm,
Actually, YWD, I believe racism is bred out of HATRED of those who are different to you – not necessarily out of fear and ignorance (although some is).
For instance, I don’t think tha Nazis were particularly ‘fearful’ or ‘ignorant’ of the Jews – they just held a Satanic hatred for them.
But I agree – we should never excuse or accept racism – whatever its foundation.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:34 pm
“its the duty of all halfway decent folk to say “piss right off””
Do “half way decent folks” have fake url’s attached to their posting name? And can you reference some of your previous protests on these kind of issues please. Mr. Harawira for example. Bet you had a lot to say about him right??
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Oh dear So we of the whitey race are pure and refined. Oh dear Oh dear.
Now thats gonna get some of the real racists in this country of ours going.
I mean to suggest that white motherF…s are pure and refined.
No it cant be right. The last 40 years of ramming down our throats how we are the sole and only cause of the all the problems back to 1840 and further.
You gotta laugh. The usual suspects will get their tits in a tangle.

Bloody hell SteveO, that “carjam” website is impressive. I managed to track down the first car I ever owned, which appears to have finally been scrapped at the end of 1996.

Snap, Tom, mine was an 1100 mkI Ford Escort.

I don’t really care how racist this woman is. I am just going to laugh at her stupidity and leave her alone to be as racist as she wants to be and live her life as she pleases, however ignorant that may be. That is her loss.
Some people seem to believe that being racist is the very very very WORST thing one can possibly be, but frankly, it’s no worse than all manner of other kinds of stupidity. I put it on a par with drinking too much, or smoking cigarettes. I would rather associate with a racist ten times over than with a commie like Jane Kelsey, or John Minto, or Martyn Bradbury.

What about a hypocrite or an open liar or a fraud, thief?
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:10 pm
From the Stuff article:
“But transport officials are refusing to have the plate withdrawn, saying it would breach Ms Thompson’s rights, despite the obvious association with white supremacism.
A spokesman said NZTA found racism abhorrent but noted that Ryan was a common surname and that a similar personalised plate was in circulation now which incorporated an individual’s surname.
Ad Feedback
Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres said that, in and of itself, the licence plate was unlikely to breach the Human Rights Act.”
I find this a bit rich, considering that about 3 years ago a Porirua man had “IH8 ACC” and “IH8 IRD” forcibly removed because some govt asshat complained.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Blair M
Have you no clue at all?
Only white people (Honkie, Par-key-har) can be racist in NZ.
What this dumb bitch has said is no better than anything that comes out of the mouth of Hone, Willie Jackson or any of the other army of brown racists, it is just that they can get away with it.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Does Lisa-Marie have a ‘pommy accent’?
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Incidentally the licence plate “88″ is on a Bentley Continental. Isn’t that what John Banks drives?
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Fot, I think you’re mssing the point.
Hone and WJ aren’t “getting away with anything”. They are perceived for what they are and nobody is under any illusions as to what they are. In Hone’s case, he occassionally cops the raw end of the stick when media sensationalise his comments or take them out of context, but at the end of the day he hardly helps himself and chooses not to modify his behaviour. He instead prefers to strut the public stage and reinforce the in your face ‘bro persona and a racial sterotype to people who look to him as a role model. That just makes him a loser. He’s been punished – he’s had a chance to do something constructive, he’s blown it and he’ll never change.
WJ is just a sad and embittered loser who lives in denial and also chooses to reinforce a sterotype. Someone else who is in a position to do something positive but isn’t man enough to do it. That’s his punishment too.
The stupid woman who is the subject of this thread is just trailer trash. As BlairM effectively says – leave her alone to her loser life. (Although he didn’t have to then go on and mention Kelsey and Minto in the same sentence.)
What more are you suggesting should be done to these people? They are self-deluded failures. Isn’t that enough? Will a stern talking to from Joris actually achieve anything? I don’t need to make myself feel better by seeing them punished.

September 3rd, 2010 at 5:07 pm
I saw a car once with “fuck off coon” spray painted onto the side driving around town, i assume this was directed at the Indian fruit pickers who had taken up residence, poor old Joris would have heart failure if he had witnessed it.

And what about Maurice Williamson? Associating everyone who opposes wholesale foreign investment with racist lowlifes like Lisa Marie Thompson.
Whether you agree with them or not, the Green arguments in opposition to foreign investment are economically and ecologically principled arguments. But Williamson chooses to associate them with the racist crap we get from Winston First and scumbags like Thompson.
And then John Key suggests Williamson’s comments were an attempt at humour! I’ve read what Williamson is reported as saying 37 times, and still can’t find a hint of a joke.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Mr Farrar whats your problem with this female ( with two jobs/kids) you are as bigoted as her, look in the mirror Mr Farrar , a rightous up his nose bigot is looking back at you, she dosent give a shit what you think of her, so why worry about her, fuck my wife has been called a white mother fucker by a racist maori mp paid for by her sweat ,so in finishing Mr Farrar we dont all live your perfect pc , travel/wine filled life RR
