I don’t blame her – watching her try and control the house is excruciating

She has no control and loses her rag constantly

She should give those MP’s a good smacking!

Barnsley Bill

Correct me if I am wrong David but claiming Margaret Wilson will not be standing for parliament this year is a bit odd. Nobody ever elected her to parliament in the first place. This disgrace to the position of Speaker is just another back door MP who has steered this country further from a democracy than we have ever been. Removing personal property rights, removing free speech (elements of) removing the privy council. Where do you stop?
MMP has been an unmitigated disaster for NZ. Half the MP’s are unelectable and would never have inflicted themselves upon us but for the party list bullshit.

personal abuse territory. If it’s a topic post, delete posts which are off topic. Then posters who can abide by such standards will remain. Then management can ease off a bit.

Is “filth” the word of the month over at the Standard? They seem obsessed by it. As they are trying desperately to make “the Kiwiblog Right” phrase a gereneral perjorative term (which is only used by far left commentators), maybe “the Standard Left” can be an adequate term for precious leftists who cry and scream racist, sexist, filth etc at every turn.

Barnsley Bill’s point is worth noting – Margaret Wilson wasn’t elected by anybody. She was appointed by her good friend Helen Clark and made it into Parliament through the gullibility of those who mindlessly followed the “two ticks Labour” instruction.

That someone so obviously unsuited to Parliament (I mean, what has she done while there, other than bring the role of Speaker into disrepute?) should make it so far does indeed throw the flaw of MMP into stark relief.

I’m looking for the post Tane made when Cullen called John Key a rich prick.

I’d have thought such a defender of virtue would object when someone refers to a person as the male genitalia. Surely this is a sexist comment? And perhaps even slightly worse than insinuating that Margeret Wilson is a witch?

I can’t find the post though. Not on the Standard, Labour’s blog. Can anyone help me out here?

Send your regards to Insolent P. The difference between identifying male and female in direct ways and the use of terms for a political enemy which have in the past resulted in violent attacks is little to some radical feminists (who equate intercourse with an in’sult/assault by men), but is obvious to the rest of us.

It’s particularly sad, given this post from Tane back in November

“Just today I found several of my comments deleted for supposedly being “off topic”, even in cases when I was directly responding to questions or accusations from other commenters.”

..

“Now David Farrar owns his blog and he’s free to do what he likes with it. But if it is just a home for National Party lines where dissent and contradiction aren’t welcome then he needs to make that clear.”

Actually, I just think that Tane can’t stand having his hypocrisy pointed out.

I have a very good friend who is a Wiccan; calling a person a witch as an insult demeans the neo-pagan revival, with its distinctive ritual forms, seasonal observances and religious, magical and ethical precepts. I myself am not a Wiccan, but I find it offensive to use a descriptor of a faith as an insult.

I claim the bonus point for PC outrage.

I’d assumed DPF used “ding dong” in a nod to “Ask not for whom the bell tolls…”

An alternative would be a “Bring out your dead…” reference, which would be equally appropriate given the number of once-thought-promising political careers that have expired of late.

Tsk, the things you can’t get away with making sly remarks about nowadays. Honorary consulships, bribing people to stand for Parliament, donations to unnamed “other parties”… oh,and witches. Quite the most serious of the foregoing, of course.

I think the time has come for the media to expose the Kiwiblog right. The time has also come for the media to stop reporting off Kiwiblog.

The Kiwiblog right are greying middle-aged men who are fed up with Woman taking a leading role this country, let alone having a Prime Minister who is a Woman. They are fed up with their money going towards helping those who are vulnerable in society. They are sick of having to live in a country that extends the rights of minority groups, along with much, much more.
