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
Warning Contains content that will offend Mongrel Mob Gang Members. Gang members are advised to seek the nearest Colonialism created safe space. You were WARNED! If you want a good chuckle I recommend reading two press releases from the Mongrel Mob in reaction to the National Party’s tough on
It is a common tactic for a political party to use a single emotive issue to get the tide of public opinion behind them in order to get a new law passed. Those carried away with the single emotional issue fail to look under the surface of the law in
The BFD has a gallery where readers can view all the wonderful political cartoons created by SonovaMin and BoomSlang. Recently we added the creations of our top three Photoshoppers as well, Luke, Pixy and Boondecker. Just like with our author list where you can view every article written by your
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
Leighton Smith has listened to New Zealanders, or more precisely National party supporters, and they are angry! “National blew it”. My sentiments, but not my words. It was one pithy sentence in a strongly worded email from a listener to my podcast regarding National endorsing the Government’s Zero Carbon
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
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
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
Yesterday Stuff launched their YouGov poll and it clearly showed National is in trouble and friendless. The poll also showed how deeply unliked Simon Bridges is. National can not and will not win with a leader whose net favourability score is -37 compared with Jacinda’s +35. That is a
Just when you think that there isn’t anything else that can be blamed on Colonialism (which brought the wonders of civilisation to New Zealand like literacy, longer life expectancy, running water and electricity) we find out yet another example of colonial oppression…tobacco! “We reserve the right to smoke
Stuff has launched their YouGov poll and the inaugural poll is bad news for National and Simon Bridges. Labour and its coalition partners are riding high while National has dropped below 40 per cent support in a recent Stuff/YouGov poll. The poll put Labour at 41 per cent support,
A complaint against Waatea News by Rob Paterson has been upheld. Waatea News published an article on August 9, 2019 headlined Hobson’s Pledge tries to roll Tauranga land return. It reported Tauranga historian Buddy Mikaere saying that the local council needed to stand up to a campaign by Don
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
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!
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
