Dear Editor

I am one of the owners of the Eagle Hotel down in Bluff. We were in the 24hr news cycle over the sign in the window “Jacinda Hitler.”

Recently we put Cam Slater’s satirical image “Auckland Gulag” up in the front window.

Photoshopped image credit Cam Slater. The BFD.

We had the local police come in last night and tell my staff to remove it, which they did (I was not there). He took a photo and told my staff he will be sending the photo to the SIS . . . yes the SIS!

I have gone and had it out with the policemen and I recorded it. This is the second time they have made threats, including regarding our liquor licence.

PS

I am not an anti-vaxer. I believe in free choice and I do not care who you are. Do not stand over me.

Pub Owner
