Ten, One Hundred, One Thousand

In recent days I have had several articles published on The BFD which take a frightening view of the short term in New Zealand: the madness of the Ardern Government, the steering wheel in the hands of drunk teenagers with an IQ of about 2½, cliffs approaching. A question which

Slipping a Forked Tongue Between Xi’s Cheeks

One of William Blake’s most insightful rhyming couplets is: A truth that’s told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent. Jacinda Ardern is an arch-liar, despite promising never to tell a lie in politics (which turned out to be just her first political lie)

July 9th, 2022. I see that Monkeypox has arrived in New Zealand. As 85% of cases internationally are found in the gay communities will Jacinda close the borders to gays? Or will they have to have a certificate signed by their mums or a medical professional certifying that they are

Everyone Believes in Something

Nathan Smith’s recent article “Let Them Have Traffic Lights” got me thinking about our addiction to the NZ media and the passive acceptance of the six o’clock news as generally accurate. The news must be correct or it would be rejected, right? Ardern prepared us for the Covid

Yes, making crime, particularly drugs, unprofitable IS the heart of the issue. But… not so sure that this is the answer. * Are gang members going to fill out questionnaires honestly, seriously??

The Nats Are Proving Just How Useless They Are

Labour and its ministers are clearly the biggest gaggle of half-wits ever seen gathered in the Beehive cabinet room, yet the ‘Luxon Dropkicks’ have not the gumption to pick up the ball and use scientific knowledge to fight for the reinstatement of our dismissed nurses and doctors. If you
