Of course it’s never going to happen and, for obvious reasons, not even she and her COL would be stupid enough to suggest such a thing, but if she is serious about stopping climate change (something humankind has never managed to achieve in the history of the planet – a
There seems to be no end to this government’s knee-jerking at every opportunity. Passing legislation under urgency is something that shouldn’t be done lightly but here they go again – because of course, it’s a matter of hugely significant national security. Something New Zealanders have been screaming
At the weekend’s Labour Party conference, all of their top outstanding performers got to give a speech including the Deputy Leader. His speech is posted on their website so if you want a laugh and have masochistic tendencies you can read it in its entirety. I’ve taken one
You can guarantee you won’t read that headline in the MSM. The script of her speech to the NZ Labour Party Conference (as posted on the Labour Party web site), has her saying “while I am loathed” – as she then goes on to talk about Campbell Barry becoming NZ’
The US mainstream media has shown itself to be totally biased, unreliable and dishonest, pushing a strong anti-Trump and pro-Democrat agenda since before the 2016 election. There seems to be no end to the outright dishonesty. Formerly reputable news organizations like CNN and other major TV networks, award-
For those of us waiting patiently for Jacinda Ardern to de-laminate and fall apart at the seams, this week has seen the Prime Minister ticking yet another “walk on water” box. Just when we begin to see the writing on the wall, as this disastrous government of imbeciles stumbles
The dramatic salivations by the MSM over New Zealand First Foundation revelations are nothing more than a storm in a teacup. While it might be argued that it’s morally corrupt and inappropriate and unacceptable and deceitful or even fraudulent, the ultimate outcome will be that there’s nothing illegal
I’ve never been a supporter of polls nor do I place too much credibility in them these days especially given the grief people get for admitting what they believe in – if it happens not to coincide with what the masses want you to believe in. Of course, many of
Donald Trump has caused such massive brain explosions for the self-proclaimed American ruling elite that they have lost all sense of reason and are walking themselves into high-revving chainsaws. Many will not emerge in once piece, and those who do will be terminally wounded. The MSM is aiding
Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. He has a way of expressing things that sometimes makes people squirm. If he could just zip it occasionally, he’d make his own life much easier. But that is not who he is. He is larger than life and let’s face
I wrote a post on Saturday commenting on yet another school shooting in the USA and roxypiper commented: “Pinker tells us (and demonstrates in Better Angels of Our Nature) that the world is actually becoming less violent. The USA is however acknowledged as being an ‘outlier’ in the data.” Which
This time it was Santa Clarita, third-largest city in Los Angeles county. The victims aged between 14 and 16. The perpetrator had just turned 16 – it was his birthday. Before school started as students gathered in a quadrangle, he pulled a semi-automatic .45 calibre handgun from his back
Once upon a time (around 1984 I think), a typical everyday garden variety Aussie named Dennis Bryant, who wasn’t an altogether dreadful country music singer, decided to turn his hand to a bit of politically incorrect comedy. He renamed himself Kevin Wilson, added a “bloody” between the Kevin and
At the end of October I wrote a post posing the question: https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/10/tick-legalisation-of-cannabis-tick-approval-of-bad-behaviour/ In that post, I commented: “Blurred boundaries inevitably change attitudes and are often the thin end of the wedge. The argument that because
When two of the world’s major democracies seem unable to implement the most basic of democratic processes, you can only wonder at what the future might hold for the rest of the world. The people of the UK chose, in a free election process, to leave the European Union.
In the 1980s Winston Peters talked about New Zealand beginning to look like an Asian colony and, with China being the major contributor to our immigration, followed closely by India, could it be that his words were, heaven forbid, prophetic? There has to be considerable food for thought around immigration.
