Jacinda is angry. Jacinda is frustrated. Or to put it more accurately but crudely, Jacinda is pissed off. Over the last few days, Jacinda has more than enough reasons to put on show her real persona, her left wing angry side. When the chips are down the left always find
What is it with National? Where is their voice on the issues of the day, any day? I was at a restaurant the other night and the owner joined us to share a very drinkable glass of Gamekeepers red. His opening comment was questioning why National wasn’t taking a
Andrew Little appears to have an affinity with things dark. First, it was a mine where he finally saw the light and gave up on the ridiculous hope of bringing out the dead. Now he is focusing on life and involving himself in the Black Lives Matter perversity as Minister
I have a question. Where is National? Are they still breathing? I know one of them is, the Senior Whip because I had the pleasure of having lunch with her last week. I ask the question because, while being the party representing the farming sector, they are failing to vocalise
At long, long, long last a National MP is telling it like it is about the Government’s handling of COVID-19. Chris Penk, the National MP for Helensville, has written a missive entitled “Flattening the Country: the real story behind Labour’s lockdown”. He argues that a poorly prepared and
So the Pike River game is up. For some reason best known to himself Andrew Little has chosen now to ‘fess up and state what the rest of us knew all along. That the recovery of the bodies from the Pike River mine is, to use Mr Little’s word,
Show business is the only thing Jacinda seems good at. She parades around in various global type garments best suited to the country she is feeling sorry for at the time in order to get the ensuing global adulation. Jacinda has turned this ingratiating irritating behaviour into an art form
So the last person with coronavirus recovered just in time for the Prime Minister’s announcement that we can move to level one but it was a close call. Or was it? The declaration of a full recovery was made with two hours to spare. Spare a thought for the
Editors Note: It has been brought to my attention that Reuters Fact checked the claim about Alinsky and declared it to be false. On May 30 on Backchat, Jeff posted an article headed HOW TO CREATE A SOCIALIST STATE by Saul Alinsky. The article began by stating there are eight
A man had a cap in his office. A cap. This man had just been elected Leader of the Opposition. Should a Leader of the Opposition not have a cap in his office? Is the idea of having a cap in the office of the Leader of the Opposition dangerous?
Monday’s protest marches run by rent a mob have achieved nothing other than to make the Prime Minister look like a complete fool. The first politician to point this out was none other than David Seymour, this country’s number one Opposition MP. He correctly pointed out that the
In my previous article, I outlined how the Prime Minister got us into the COVID crisis by largely manufacturing it. Having successfully got us into it she now has to get us successfully out of it. Like wrapping the fish and chips this will be beyond her capabilities. In fact,
What is now becoming apparent is what many of us have believed all along: that compared to most other countries we have not experienced a COVID crisis. The extent to which we have had something of a problem can be laid squarely at the door of the Prime Minister. It
Prior to the ill-considered donation of $50 million dollars of taxpayers’ money to an already compliant media, there was the occasional lightweight criticism from journalists of the worst Government in a lifetime. Since receiving the gratuity, whether because of instructions from on high or not, there appears to be very
Memo to Jacinda. Wakey wakey dearie. The bubble has burst. The country has moved on. Virtually nobody is observing your silly rules. You are welcome to kid yourself that all and sundry are bowing down to your every directive but evidence shows otherwise. Perhaps you need to get out and
I made the point in an earlier article prior to Friday’s leadership challenge that my reservation with Todd Muller was his views on climate change and other matters pertaining to the environment. While I still hold that view, l have to admit to being impressed with his performance since
