  Extraordinary isn’t it!
  
  It was a real “lone wolf” that killed the British MP (i.e. no friends, read material along at the library, mental age of 8) and all we heard from the MSM was how he was part of part of a “dangerous undercurrent of extreme right wing groups”.
  
  Contrast with the dozens of “lone wolfs” who receive formal instruction, whose actions have followed similar patterns, all driven by the same motivation, all chanting “Allu Akbhar” and the MSM can’t see any pattern from all these people from the “religion of peace”.
  
  If you want to see the state of the MSM and their hysteria – read this article by some cuck:
  
  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/28/alt-right-online-poison-racist-bigot-sam-harris-milo-yiannopoulos-islamophobia
  
  On one occasion I even, I am ashamed to admit, very diplomatically expressed negative sentiments on Islam to my wife. Nothing “overtly racist”, just some of the “innocuous” type of things the YouTubers had presented: “Islam isn’t compatible with western civilisation.”
  
  She was taken aback: “Isn’t that a bit … rightwing?”….
  
  It would take every swearword under the sun to describe how I now feel about tolerating such content and gradually accepting it as truth. I’ve spent every day since feeling shameful for being so blind and so easily coerced……
  
  I haven’t yet told my wife that this happened, and I honestly don’t know how to. I need to apologise for what I said and tell her that I certainly don’t believe it. It is going to be a tough conversation and I’m not looking forward to it.

      Nah, the problem is that EAD posted an excerpt from an anti-Semitic, white nationalist site that actually justified the British MP’s killing and then proceeded to back it up with his/her own words.
      
      That’s the problem. And the Extraordinary! bit.

    Indeed PhilBest,
    
    The first thing I’d say to the so called “man” who wrote that article is – “What’s the counter-argument buddy, how exactly is Islam not a threat to Western Civilisation?”
    
    When you read through his article top to bottom, you see him alter his entire ideology because he’s afraid of being called a racist and what his wife thinks.
    
    It’s so sad that one word and “societal approval” prevents him (and much of society) from saying what he can see with his very own eyes.

      And isn’t it strange how criticising one religion, Islam (or its adherents) makes one a “racist”, when criticising any other religion including Christianity is merely progressive de rigeur?
      
      The evil of racism is inherently in its bigotry regarding something the victim has no control over – his race at birth. It is complete nonsense to transfer this to a religion or a culture, and it is a sad state of affairs that it is taking so long for the obviously requisite challenges to this nonsense, to get any critical mass.

        @ Tom Hunter,
        
        Many would say my views are just plain common sense and my pointing out of glaring hypocrisy where I see it brave and standing by ones principles.
        
        Why for example is anti-racism forced on white countries and only white countries? Why do I HAVE to love non-whites so much I must welcome them with open arms into my country? You will also point out that I have several times praised how much I love Japan, Korea & Turkey because their nations are very distinctly Japanese, Korean & Turkish – i.e. real diversity rather than the corporatist globalist uniformity the West is having forced on us.
        
        The Progressive liberalism you spout is a religious ideology and a mental disorder. Calling me every name under the sun because I’m not pathologically altruistic and am someone who understands multiracialism is code for balkanisation is pathetic and childish
        
        It weakens countries, makes them more criminal and less safe, and slowly erodes nationalist views, which some might think is a good thing but is actually a terrible thing as it allows supranational governments like the EU to control and manipulate people easier. To your point below, that is why I praised Cuba – a country, where, despite it’s demographics, the country is safe and the people maintain a certain level of civility. I never once said a good thing about that dictator Castro, I merely observed that the absence of “globalisation” and “international finance” seems to have served the Cubans well.

    Yes, he was mentally sick.
    
    But I think you’ll find, if you read, that he was a had known ties with nationalist groups, was well known to them, was well versed in various white supremacist mantras and had attended far-right conferences.
    
    So, there’s a fair amount of influence there that you’ve neglected to mention.

      Certainly people like the killer (mentally sub-normal and psychologically aberrant) can be exploited by hate groups of various sorts. And the extreme “right” that traffics in white supremacy and neo-nazi doctrines are hate groups and dangerous. But similarly there are other hate groups, some considerably larger and more influential and the tiny ultra rightist fringe that do the same, yet we don’t see the same degree of condemnation for those groups.

        I’m not arguing against that.
        
        I merely pointing out that EAD “forgets” to mention this in his “summaries” and, quite laughably, having gone on about the MSM classifying “lone wolf killers”, has suddenly decided to classify Jo Cox’s murder as a “lone wolf”. All without considering the very applicable evidence that shows that he was influenced by white supremacist groups.
        
        (a) Laughable use of “lone wolf” given his/her previous criticism.
        (b) Scary backing for his/her “she deserved it” post.

        Pointing out incoherence in EAD’s arguments won’t get you far. Just the other day he was praising ye olde communist Castro for having kept Cuba out of the hands of the evil global (((financial system))) – while in many earlier comments over the last few months he’d pushed the old myth of the Communist movement as another evil plot of “de Joos”.
        
        There’s probably something related to Castro being an “honourary white man” rather than one of those temperamental Latinos, in the same way the Nazi’s reconciled with the Japanese for the TriPartite pact.

        Castro seems to have a very up and down relationship with Jewish people. Like -: praise and condemnation, worship and crucify. No wonder poor EAD has got flummoxed.

    That annoyed the hell out of me. Instead of replying “No, you dozy tart, opposition to religious authoritarianism is anything but right-wing,” he feels ashamed of himself and doesn’t mention it again. Dime’s response seems appropriate.

        Most of the Somalians here were thanks to Helen Clark and her deal re the Tampa
        – to get her profile up to the UN which she then joined.
        These young men are now getting stroppy as they have grown up with no jobs – just radicalised.

    Totalitarian regimes have always emphasized the public image of happy-clappery. It would be interesting to know how many of the adherents to political correctness are doing so like soulless automatons, like the smiling dancing crowds of North Koreans.

  All on Red , there is every reason to believe that it will be business as usual between the two super powers as Trump drops his bloated hot air rhetoric and sees, like his predecessor , good sense .

  Manolo, fortunate indeed that the alleged assailant was not carrying an AR 15 or a SIG Sauer MCX
  
  Never mind , this type of attack is bound to stop as Trump allows guns to be carried in schools and campuses , .

  I’ve never doubted Taylor Cap’n. I’m firmly in the “Form is temporary; class is permanent” camp.
  
  Taylor batted very well yesterday, given his pterygium and several blows to the fingers. New Zealand cricket can look forward to a few moree seasons from him, by which time he will have well and truly passed his monetor’s record of 17 test centuries.

    The Nawab of Pataudi (the 2nd test cricketer player with that title) used to score test centuries for India, even though he only had one eye that worked.
    
    http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/32222.html
    
    But sadly, Colin Milburn’s test career ended when he lost an eye in a car accident.
    
    http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/17018.html
    
    I remember reading once that during his playing days Don Bradman’s sight was tested for research purposes, and, surprisingly, it was marginally inferior to the average university student. So the secret of his talent lay elsewhere, including ability to concentrate with the sight he had.
    
    And last story. the great Yorkshire all rounder of the golden age of cricket, Wilfred Rhodes, was once complimented on his excellent eye-sight, that enabled him to pick the position of the seam in the deliveries that were bowled to him. “Aye”, he replied, “but Ranji (the great Indian batsman and prince who played for England, Ranjitsinhji) could see t’ stitches!”

Michael Wood on Rabid Red talking about an Indian couple getting married, being ‘locked out’ of the housing market and not being able to afford a house in Mt Roskill.

Woods solution is that something must be done to make housing more affordable for them so they don’t have to move out of the area. Exactly what is clouded by the usual labour woolly rhetoric of affordable housing blah blah blah without explaining exactly how it will be achieved.

The kids in Herne Bay must be rubbing their hands with glee as it appears that labour is advocating for a housing policy that allows young couples to stay in ‘their’ neighbourhood unlike the working class poor of the Northshore who have to move to Te Atau or Henderson to get on the property ladder rather than live in their neighbourhood of birth.

  Yeah, the worst of this is that it is a diversion from how excessively expensive all housing options now are, including the Te Atatu or Henderson ones.
  
  I mean, you used to be able to be a realist and buy the more affordable home with less convenient location, for around 3 times the annual income of an average earner. Now the “affordable” homes in the inconvenient locations are actually merely the “least unaffordable”.
  
  It also used to be possible to buy centrally located homes in need of some repairs and maintenance and TLC, for a price comparable to the newer inconveniently-located suburban homes. I know most people don’t have the patience to follow this, but the distortions to the urban property market work via land values, which is why dilapidated old villas near the CBD have inflated from a “should be” price of $300,000 to $1.5 million, while the fringe suburban houses have “only” inflated from a “should be” price of $300,000 to $600,000 (although the section sizes have shrunk with it).

      S’OK W/Girl.
      I was called a bigot last week for speaking well of the President Trump tax policies. Headline Tax rates down from 35% to 15% make sense. One off 10% tax to repatriate the billions the big players have stacked offshore. Elegant one off solution. Pragmatism in action.
      
      The MSM actually have done a good job in NZ of their constant campaign of denigrating Trump even after he won the election. Hate to say it 🙁 I am surprised at the penetration of the MSM in NZ and disappointed with fellow kiwis that they don’t have independent thought or use the now available channels to get to the truth.
      
      The interesting thing of the last few weeks is my two aunties in their 80s actually have independent thought and seek to find truth. Sadly the young ones esp. under 25 who have their life in front of them and access to multi platforms of information choose to take the soft option of unoriginal thought. We can see the bias of Twitter and Facebook getting through. (PS. used by the same people who will march down Queen St complaining about Mr Big spying on them. Yeah, OK)

  How often do we hear from friends and rellies how wonderful, careful and experienced a person in charge of a passenger vessel/vehicle/balloon/helicopter was immediately following an accident?
  
  And then when the coroner’s inquest comes along, we discover some damn inconvenient facts…. that the skipper was unqualified and inexperienced (Easy Rider – 7 dead)
  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?
  c_id=1&objectid=11262726
  
  The balloon pilot did not have health clearance and had a history of cannabis use(11 people dead)

  Waikatogirl and every single one of us has the right to question the actions of folks involved in tragic accidents….
  and as the holiday season races toward us, it is surely in everyone’s interest to doublecheck that cowboys aren’t operating a venture that you or your loved ones are about to undertake.

      Ok Sammy here goes. Waikatogirl was saying the Flotation devices could be sponsored by KFC. with the KFC logo printed on the floation device. It’s a bit like Westpac having their corporate logo all over the rescue chopper that was searching for these poor people. Just because your pea sized brain cannot get this, doesn’t give you the right to not answer questions.

        Well since I seem to be the topic of much conversation here I have to say I am quite amazed that post has stirred some people up so much.
        For what it’s worth, of course it was a piss take and anyone who can’t see that( eg Stephieboy) well I still recommend that night class.
        Some people thought it was amusing and some did not.

    Whether or not death threats are eventually carried out, civilized people who value democratic freedoms don’t make death threats over differences of opinion.
    
    Those who make, defend or dismiss as trivial such threats either don’t understand or don’t value our freedoms.

For those that think the media are fair and don’t favour Political Party’s in NZ take a look at who is at The Nation’s Xmas party hosted by Lisa Owen and Paddy Gower. Last year you would have thought the Left had footed the bill with the lack of known faces from the Right.

  The Nation ONLY gets $1 million a year of taxpayer funding (the Bank of U n Me).
  I mean cripes Jono and Ben gets $1.7 million. It must be Waaay more important.
  Or $860k for 20 x 5 minutes of ‘Kiri and Boo’ whatever that is.
  
  It would be nice if TV3 could one day say> thank you taxpayer.
  Sacking the African Queen was a good start. She can now butter Barry’s toast every morning 🙂
  
  Anyhoo, H/chappy you don’t really want centre-right people mixing with these smelly lefties. Having to converse with blinky Owen might really ruin your Xmas.

Meanwhile, in tolerant Lutheran Indonesia:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/indonesian-woman-flogged-close-proximity-man-111625433.html

An Indonesian woman screamed in agony Monday as she was caned in Aceh, the latest in a growing number of women to be publicly flogged for breaking the province’s strict Islamic laws.

Aceh is the only province in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country that imposes sharia law. People can face floggings for a range of offences — from gambling, to drinking alcohol, to gay sex.

        Salacious Crumb , the practice of Sharia varies a great deal in the Muslim world from the fundamentalist severely strict as with ISIS and Taliban to the more moderate such as here and in other Western Counties .

  I heard that too, and had to turn it off. According to the arbiters of right and wrong, Parma’s business (for which she ought to be congratulated) is the “wrong” sort of business. I would have thought being female and Indian might have balanced out her wickedness. Clearly chocolate is a grave political sin.

  Wimpy people from Wimpy City might think that was “getting stuck into” Parmar.
  
  The questions gave Parmjeet Parmar ample scope to say something sensible yet ordinary and come across as calm and measured. Or if she had wanted, to come across assertive and say something like Steve Hansen said to the the female Irish interviewer on the sideline the other week.
  
  Seems more like another case of listening to that radio station hoping to hear something to whinge about. I’m continually surprised by the number on here who moan about what’s on there yet obviously can’t stop listening.

Soros, the money behind the recount:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/28/soros-financed-attorney-leading-hillary-clintons-recount-efforts/

The lawyer representing Hillary Clinton’s recount efforts recently led legal battles against state voting laws with an infusion of funding from billionaire George Soros.

On Saturday, Marc Elias, the Clinton team’s general counsel, announced Clinton’s campaign would participate in Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s recount effort in Wisconsin. Elias also said the Clinton campaign would participate if Stein decides to pursue recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

    I hope someone kept an eye on that poor child.
    
    Similarly—using your way of thinking here—if Trump shakes the hand of a black man, that will make him a non-racist. If he merely shakes the hand of a woman rather than attacking her verbally and physically, that makes him a non-groper.
    
    Thanks for enlightening us.

CARTOONING AS A WEAPON OF HATE

Bill Leak is an unfunny, ignorant Australian cartoonist. Not surprisingly, he is employed by Rupert Murdoch. Just like Daryl Crimp and Garrick Tremain do over here, Leak targets not the rich, the corrupt and the evil, but the poorest and most desperate of all….

    Maybe in some cases it can be done, Cap’n. I was thinking more of the likes of Rupert Murdoch, who employs scum like Bill Leak and has made a fortune out of the most outrageous racism and war-mongering. Then, of course, there are our own rich, such as a well known politician who “made” his money by gambling against the New Zealand currency.

Auckland Council must surely be corrupt? This is wrong and someone should go to jail!

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/property/86974861/balmoral-road-hostel-development-surprises-neighbours

So, council issues a non-notified resource consent to a 5 story 105 room hostel, because council says

“would have a less than minor impact on the environment.”

Neighbours would beg to differ.

It seems Auckland council can pretty much issue resource consents to whoever and for whatever development without any public consultation, based on this.

The mainstream media are trying to demonise Trump’s camp for their talk about the internment of Japanese in WW2 as a model for dealing with the Muslim threat today
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/us/politics/japanese-internment-muslim-registry.html?_r=0

The reality is that the US was at war with Japan and the Japanese who were interned were not tortured or killed but treated as honourably as prisoners of war. The internment was a massive logistical operation and yet it was carried out successively and with a minimum of conflict. If terror attacks escalate then it could be a model for dealing with the Muslim threat. The US has vast uninhabited areas where camps can quickly erected.

The MSM is an uproar!

Eric Bristow is tweeting inconvenient truths about the football nonces and the MSM and the establishment doesn’t like it:

https://twitter.com/ericbristow

Here is Paul Zwillenberg’s Dail Mail on the matter in full kvetching mode:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3980150/Eric-Bristow-attacked-tweets-labels-footballers-victims-child-sex-scandal-wimps.html

What are the examples of his “offending tweets” you wonder – all just good common sense like the following:

– Might be a looney but if some football coach was touching me when i was a kid as i got older i would have went back and sorted that poof out
– what i was saying was when the football lads got older and fitter they should have went back and sorted him out
– Bet the rugby boys are ok ha ha
– Everybody that works on tv is frightened to say the truth because they are frightened to lose their job, life shouldn’t be like that

All seems like good observations to me. But judging by the way the MSM goes into full on kvetching mode – “scandal”, uproar”, “hate”, you’d think these days that racism (i.e. objecting to your country being swamped by 3rd worlders) is the only crime the MSM won’t go into bat for you.

How does NZ meet the Muslim threat? David Garrett and others have talked about the 2% mark, and said once the Muslim population gets that high trouble and terror begin. David calls for a ban on muslim migration, but that won’t stop Muslims reaching first 2% and later 5% of the population, because of their birth rates. So if we are to avoid these figures some other way of dealing with the threat is required. One method is voluntary sterilisation. Pay Muslim men ten thousand dollars to have a vasectomy. Another more drastic measure is to intern the worst Muslims – those who go to mosques where hate is preached, for example – on some of our many offshore islands. We are lucky to have so many islands on which dangerous elements could be isolated, if the need arose. The first step, though, is the sort of Muslim register that Trump has promised to create in the US. We need to know exactly how many Muslims are amongst us, and where they live.

‘Oh quick, please write up why the Germans were justified in running their KL system, and why the Soviets needed to run their gulag.’

These were inhuman systems. By contrast the US interned its Japanese in a non-violent manner and then released them in good health after the war. That’s why the WW2 internments are a model for dealing with the Muslim problem today. Trump and his team are right to remind of the way the US dealt with Japanese enemy aliens.

Tough ask…

In order to actually trigger a recount statewide [in Pennsylvania], which is the goal, Stein needs to find nearly 30,000 individual voters and have them submit an affidavit requesting the recount — that’s three voters for all 9,163 precincts in the state. If she does find 27,000-plus voters to do that, they must file their affidavits by the end of business Monday.

  I could easily flip that around: isn’t it interesting how Hillary and her supporters railed against Trump for suggesting he might not accept the outcome of the election, but now that they lost, suddenly it’s “rigged”.
  
  “Donald Trump refused to say the he’d respect the results of this election. By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy.” ~ Hillary Clinton tweet
  
  By the way, I read that the Clinton team have jumped onboard with this recount thing. I guess Hillary was only kidding when she conceded the election to Trump on election night.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a “boiling point” and made a reference to “lone wolf attacks.”

“America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah (community). We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that,” the post said.

  And therein the danger from many Muslims , like Mohammed , they don’t have , like us , a love of our nation but a supposed higher calling of loyalty to their “community” , the ummah.
  That’s why so many travel to the Muslim hotspots to fight in ‘solidarity’ with fellow Muslims or engage in our countries in terrorism against the very people that gave them through our taxes , refuge , education, housing etc
  They identify not with us but with the Muslim “community” . There will be very little true integration from these people.
  Therefore they should not be accepted as immigrants or refugees.Islam is the problem , it is an ideology , not a religion.

Not liking this cricket one bit.

Should have batted and batted and batted. Pakistan haven’t done enough in this series to deserve being gifted an opportunity to draw it. Plus with no Boult our attack is not that marvellous – just Southee and Wagner of proven test quality (de Grandhomme hasn’t been at it long enough to prove his six-for in his first test wasn’t a flash-in-the-pan. With 130 wickets in 84 first class games at just under 30, he is unlikely to be a dangerous strike-weapon).

Run rate is still over 5, and we do get a new ball in just over 20 overs, and there are no bowling of field-placement restrictions like in an ODI, so we have that in our favour if we have to close up shop. But bugger it – a series win is a series win, and we’ve only done it twice before against Pakistan.

    No, I think the Pakis have been concentrating on keeping wickets in hand with the intention of launching like it is a 20/20 game in the last session. Impossible run rate? Inzamam-ul-Haq and that 1992 Eden Park World Cup semi-final?!

How many of them are terrorists?
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/99-muslim-43000-somali-refugees-settled-in-us-under-obama/article/2608316

The Obama administration resettled 8,858 Somali refugees in the United States last year, and nearly 43,000 during Obama’s eight years, a huge number that is now raising concerns after a Somali refugee led a one-man attack spree on the campus of Ohio State.

5 down – game on.

81.1 Henry to Asad Shafiq, OUT, Henry and Henry get Shafiq. He falls for a ten-ball duck. Very full on middle stump, Shafiq closes his bat-face, and aims to work it to the leg side. The leading edge pops up to backward point, diving to his right and plucking a low catch

Asad Shafiq c Nicholls b Henry 0 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Stein — who received just a tiny piece of the national vote — also plans to ask for a recount in Michigan on Wednesday.

        I think Lewis Stanton missed a trick at the recent local government elections. He should’ve run for a position on the Nelson City Council and, once elected, he would’ve had an office to live in.

        Lewis certainly went out with a bang. The organisers of the protest against the poor old sod got more than they thought they would . From ‘Stuff’s’ account:
        
        ….”However, he said events escalated when the group marched from the top of Trafalgar St towards Stanton’s site.
        
        The protesters had intended to cross the road there, but were met with verbal abuse by a group of Stanton supporters and then bombarded with water balloons thrown from the roof of the Mid-City Motel building, Dawson said.
        
        When the two groups clashed, it was “complete carnage”, he said.”…..
        
        Even then the piece of shit heading up the protest had to put his face in Stanton’s personal space before he got the well deserved hits he complained about.
        
        There’s not much to be proud of when an old man’s stand against a council & businessmen’s assn chock full of control freaks ends up with him remanded in jail.

Police contacting people as HIV-positive man charged with unprotected sex

An HIV-positive man has been arrested on suspicion of having unprotected sex with several men, without telling them he was infected. Police have been contacting people who had sexual encounters with Johnny Lumsden, 26, urging them to get HIV tests.
…
Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Anderson said Lumsden met the men via Grindr, a dating app similar to Tinder, and had sex with them in Christchurch.

What’s this crap on stuff? When the police start cracking down on dangerous driving instead of people going a few ks over the limit I’ll stop bagging them for wasting time and revenue collecting. A very interesting video was done in Canada which completely dispells the myth of speeding, most intelligent people drive at the speed which instinctively feels safe, based on the speed of other vehicles, width and status of the road and other factors. I suppose they’ll be inforcing the moronic 4km/h tolerance in two days time. And because of this, I’ll be not be voting Nat next time round. v://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/86950027/tom-oconnor-no-excuse-for-bad-attitude-to-driving-and-road-safety

Islamic Council of Victoria boycotts meeting with Prime Minister over Team Australia comments

The Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV), which represents more than 150,000 Muslims, has boycotted a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Tony Abbott after he urged the Muslim community to join “Team Australia”.

< Since that time quite a lot has happened
(in the world)
and quite a lot has been prevented from happening (in these peoples back yard)

But if the PM is not good enough for them
you get the general jist of
of Jizyra of the f88k you all attitude

Happy to have "tax free status" and
tax payers money thrown at them but
collective responsibility for their own members
let alone the country they reside in "forget it"

Abbot would have been briefed on Quite a bit
he knew how bad it is?

So Let's see what has happened in their hood
since they gave the finger to Abbott

Who actually wanted a "constructive dialogue"
as is or now "was his responsibility as the
"elected pm"

So like everyone says "there is no problem"
and Tony can go and get farked that white infidel
kafir christian

But he presto within a month of them
telling his to shut up and fark off

On 23 September 2014, 18-year-old Numan Haider stabbed two counter-terrorism officers in Endeavour Hills, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He was then shot dead.[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Endeavour_Hills_stabbings

This is what Abbott was trying honestly to prevent?

These Creeps prey on impressionable islamic teens

I dare you to read about this tragic incident

Then I dare you to read again an interview
with one of the people "now in prison" who
is implicated with helping radicalise this
…."kid"

JANUARY 17 2015

The kid now dead attended one of his "groups"

No hard questions from the media????

JANUARY 17 2015

All the experts don't know jack sh8t
and we are all being lied to

80-100 teens we know of have left VIc Aus
for Syria the Islamic Council must know this

Many are not returning? no one gives a sh8t

But hey and all the GRADE A BS ARTISTS who tell us they really give a sh8t about moslems
will LIE and say there is no problem

and

Abbott the "white christian" has been shafted

and Hey his "replacement"
that "Kiwiblog" knew of
4 hours before it happened

MR TURN BULL SH*T

Dines with them

Anti-gay Islamic sheikh who says AIDS is a 'divine punishment for gays' and women will be 'hung by the breasts in hell' dines with Malcolm Turnbull and Waleed Aly at Ramadan Iftar dinner at Kirribilli House

Here we go again …

Another “New Zealand is among the worst in the world” bull shit claims, this time in the Hooerald, and it’s a claim that our school children are among the world’s most bullied.

Surprise, surprise, the source is a person who has set up a consultancy on how to reduce bullying.

People pluck such statements from shaky “have you been …” surveys made in a small, select group of fairly progressive countries. They don’t get around to surveying kids in Bangladesh, or Colombia, or Mali, or Russia …

Of course school bullying is nasty, but why is the MSM so easilyl suckered in by people hyping the problem up like this? I guess the answer is that it’s an easy way to get the story noticed in the editor’s queue of news, and this boss isn’t going to question the method and standard of the statistics.

I see old leftist Chris Laidlaw reckons the Government will have to bail out Centre Port (Wellington port). He now chairs the Greater Wellington Regional Council.

The one-time All Black, Rhodes scholar, and MFAT African specialist, is probably best remembered by those of us outside Wellington as the Sunday Morning Czar of Radio NZ’s Labour Programme.

The man missed the classic maturation from Left to Right that comes with age and wisdom. Frozen in political adolescence.

On Wikipedia the anonymous author claims this about an incident at a cocktail party in New York where Laidlaw was allegedly harassed by Prime Minister Muldoon because of Laidlaw’s anti-apartheid views:

Laidlaw says he grabbed Muldoon by the lapels and propelled him against the wall saying something like “If you ever touch me again I’ll knock your teeth out.”

And Piggy let him live? Yeah right.

Many of us blamed Laidlaw for turning Sunday Morning radio into a socialist swamp, but it hasn’t ~~been drained~~ improved since he moved on.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), facing a challenge from Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), is seen as the heavy favorite in elections on Wednesday to keep her top leadership spot, where she’s been perched for the past 14 years.
