The BFD Guide to Left-wingese

It is quite an art form speaking Left-wingese so The BFD team and I sat down to compile a “How to” guide. The art is in the spin. Words that portray the facts need to be replaced by cuddly PC terms. Below is the factual word or phrase on the

It’s OK When National Do It

The Whaleoil blog used to have a running gag with the tag line “It’s OK when Labour do it.” They even had a T-Shirt in their Merchandise Store with the slogan on it. Yesterday morning a reader e-mailed me a link to a National Cheerleading Blog that balanced my

Green Party Wants ACC to Be WOKE and BROKE

Don’t you just love those fresh-faced baby politicians with their progressive ‘woke’ ideas? There we were, thinking that investments should be based on what makes the most money, but then they come along to educate us that profit is not as important as being seen to be setting an

National Picks Law and Order

It is clear that National has chosen Law and Order as a key platform going into next year. Yesterday not one but six of their press releases were about Law and Order. The memo has gone out, everyone has got on board and they will be riding the issue hard

Who Benefits from the NZ First ‘Scandal’?

Who Benefits from the NZ First ‘Scandal’?

Have you ever noticed that around the time this Government is pushing a particular political direction such as changes to tenancy law for example, that the Media Party co-incidentally publishes a rash of bad landlord stories in a bid to support them? While some may think that the NZ First

United Nations Directive IGNORED by CoL

United Nations Directive IGNORED by CoL

According to an article by RNZ, the UN should be dictating our immigration policy, but to our government’s credit, they ignored the United Nations directive to increase African refugees showing that in this case at least, the UN is not yet in charge of our immigration policies. Cabinet papers

Face of the Day: Spotty McSpotface

Today’s face of the day should have been taken behind the bike sheds and given a good walloping and told to come back in 20 years. What on earth are the National Party thinking? Poor Jo Hayes has been beaten for selection in Palmerston North by a 17-year old!

It’s Hard Work Being a Candidate

It’s Hard Work Being a Candidate

National’s parachute candidate Chris Luxon in Botany is feeling the strain already, nodding off at a public meeting Saturday at the Buddhist Temple in Botany. Either that or he was praying for it all to go away. Or was he was collecting some Chinese donation money? (just kidding) Then
