Meet the Plonkers. Plonker-in-Chief is an Austrian-born socialist control-freak with a mental disorder. I’m not sure the world is ready for another one of those. Nevertheless, she is here, ready to cripple the capital’s transport movements on Monday, extolling her charges to face arrest if necessary, to further
Welcome to our brave new world; a place where records can be “crippled”: Not just records, but women too, ‘cos ‘equality’, ‘inclusiveness’: “Being forced to prioritize hurt feelings over broken bones exposes me to personal litigation from female players who have been damaged by players who are biologically male. This
I hate to say it, believe me, but the cartoon in yesterday’s Dompost accurately sums up the way the National party is allowing themselves to be portrayed. They seem to be dithering, distracted by things that simply don’t matter, while they ponder and mull over their stance on
Warning Contains New Zealand’s Hatey-est Hate-word TRIGGER WARNING! Excuse my levity, my wife is now thousands of miles away and I’ve been playing up; awarding myself a bit more interweb time to devote to the forces of Conservatism and Righteousness (same thing) and was rewarded with sheer delight
That NZ history will be taught in schools, as if it hadn’t been before, has prompted some cynical responses, perhaps rightly so. In voicing her announcement regarding the subject our Prime Minister used the word ‘compulsory’ which suggests a standardised core curriculum. It is the possible content of such
Avert your eyes, believe me; it’s for your own safety. You may be blinded by the sight of Ms Ardern displaying her ‘international leadership’ credentials, because from what I know of them they won’t cover very much at all. Here’s hoping, fingers crossed, she reveals herself behind
Warning Satirical content And, just like that; she blew it. With her very first utterance. What a dunce. “Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s first official trip to Japan got off to a somewhat awkward start, with the PM accidentally referring to the nation as China. While speaking to media, Ardern
The prime minister ‘Jaz’ (I have a communications degree) Ardern see-saws in Obfuscation 101 tactics now. Sorry, Jaz, but we can see straight through it. Ms Ardern: You weren’t asked when you first saw the claims, you were asked when you first knew of them, when the sexual nature
On September 10th, 2019 Jacinda Ardern three times denied knowing that the assault complaints were sexual in nature. A month earlier at 7:37am on August 6th, 2019 Jacinda Ardern the Prime Minister of New Zealand was temporarily in the country. She spoke to that nice Mr Hosking on Newstalk
Good morning; fellow right-wing nut-jobs. Today it is my duty to remind all oldies to imbibe your falsehoods, which, according to the good and great people at Stuff, is what we do. Repeating a claim first used less than a week ago, the organ announced in an editorial yesterday just
It’s difficult enough to take a cynical look at a teenage superstar and harder still when the star’s social media page simply announces a “16 year old climate activist with Aspergers”. Grappling with such disability elicits much more goodwill from the community; Greta Thunberg has become the ‘Susan
In case you thought you were having a bad day, think of these poor souls… The Swedish ship M / S Malmö with 16 climate activists on board is trapped in the ice at Spitsbergen. This as reported in the Norwegian newspaper Nordlys . The news raises hilarity among critics of climate
If you go down to hear Woods today, you're sure of a big surprise If you go down to see Woods today, you'd better go in disguise For every hack that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today's the day that
Fun fact for a Tuesday: There is no professional standard low enough, none, that Stuff cannot plunge beneath. They are positively subterranean news-disseminators, Media dung-beetles. Saturday’s offering “As fires rage in the Amazon, international pressure mounts on Brazil to take action” is a perfect exhibit of their mendacious outlook
Never mind carbon dioxide; the biggest threat to our children’s future is the cluster of economic arsonists creeping through our halls of power, their claws clutching shabby virtue like the awful Tricoteuses of Paris clutched knitting-needles in their crusted fingers while delightfully anticipating Madame Guillotine’s newest victim, enjoying
Yesterday Stuff tut-tutted away about a horse named ‘The Terrorist’ (stable-mate of ‘Terror the Christian’) and suggested that the naming was insensitive in view of the March mosque shootings (the horse’s name had actually been registered in 2018, but; never mind) and the connotations thereof. The sanctimonious tone of
