What is more Kiwi As, than a Kiwi?  When and how did our unofficial national symbol arise?  It seems that it was the cartoonist J.C Blomfield who put the Kiwi on the world stage as our familiar icon, 115 years ago. The New Zealand Free Lance printed a J.

Breaking News on the Location of the Next War

The next major conflict will be held within 500km of the closest charging point and designated safe-space.  Well, I presume that will be the case since the British Army has declared that they are going to switch to EVs to attract eco-friendly climate warriors as recruits. Calling on British industry

It all kicked off with a great opinion piece in the Herald. https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/09/nz-herald-tells-the-truth/ Peter Williams followed up on his radio show with an interview with Genter where she was totally outclassed as she deflected, distracted and denied. https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/09/audio-jag-deflects-distracts-denies/

Ya Can Stick Ya Panels Where the Sun Don’t Shine

Oh dear, oh dear. Reality has hit home and thousands of Brits who were sold solar panels with the promise of money-making returns are now lodging complaints with the Financial Ombudsman. Barclays Bank, which loaned money for the solar panels, has set aside £38 million to deal with potential claims.

Apparently It Is All a Big Lie: Who Knew?

There is a fantastic post over at Wattsupwiththat that is well worth the read. It is quite long but utterly destroys the whole AGW, climate emergency, IPCC etc scam. A few highlights: The unavoidable conclusion is that whatever impact CO2 emissions may have on the climate cannot have been detected

Global Warming: A Leap of Faith.

What is faith? A dictionary definition is, “The assent of the mind to the truth of a proposition or statement for which there is not complete evidence; belief in general. Specifically, firm belief based upon confidence in the authority and veracity of another, rather than upon one’s own knowledge,

It is a ‘climate emergency’! Poor St. Greta had to sail the Atlantic to show us how dire it had all become. Local authorities up and down the country have told us so. People are gluing themselves to roads, that is how bad the situation is, and the only thing

If The BFD had been online 71 years’ ago it would not be running a series ‘Kiwi As’, it would be ‘Best of British’ or something. It was 71 years ago this week that we officially became New Zealanders, rather than Brits.  ‘Kiwi As’ was born! The British Nationality and

NZ Herald Tells the Truth

Has a dose of reality hit the Herald editors, or was it simply that something slipped through on a quiet Saturday when no one was looking? Fancy the MSM in New Zealand actually telling some real facts about JAG’s favourite obsession, electric vehicles (EVs). An article by Troy Bowker

Tomorrow, 2 September, is a great day in the Kiwi sporting history calendar. In 1960 we were overjoyed with the success of our athletes at the Rome Olympics. Ranked 26th in the world, Peter Snell was probably not on any other team’s radar but with Arthur Lydiard’s coaching,

On a roll with firsts for women, we will make the Minister for Cycling happy with this celebration of the Kiwi spirit. It was 127 years ago this week when, on a winter evening, the first cycling club for women in Australasia was formed. Not a single lycra garment was

It has been a continuing education to find the number of ‘firsts’ that New Zealand can claim and especially the number of firsts that New Zealand women have claimed.  We can be justly proud of the keen individuals who inspire and surprise. This week we celebrate the fact that 138

If ever there was an entertainer who summed up the ‘Kiwi As’ quality, it has to have been Billy T James. Taken from us way too soon, we wonder what he would have made of the current politically correct anti-humour situation that pervades society. 28 years’ ago this week, the

Just when you thought it could not get any sillier, Phil Goff who needs to spend money on stopping the sewage polluting Auckland beaches, proudly announces that they will spend $18 million on a battery-powered tug boat for Ports of Auckland. Watch the video here.  Auckland ratepayers must be so

Jack Lovelock was our featured Kiwi last week, so let’s stick with the runners as we have just passed the anniversary of another great Kiwi win.  On 31 July 1976, John Walker won gold and made the nation proud.  This article from NZ History also mentions a different Olympic

St Greta Nails Her Colours to the Mast

Saint Greta of Thunberg is splashing the headlines for getting an all-expenses-paid jaunt with daddy across the Atlantic on a very flash, very fast yacht.  I wouldn’t mind that experience either.  But St Greta is stacking up brownie points by the dozen with this exercise in virtue signalling.  It
