    Now I can practise getting my fingers up the skirts.

    • D-D-D-Damn ! 1.1

      After a deeply hostile reception from the elderly audience, Grey Power Chairwoman, Elsie Price, hands a humiliated John Key his balls back (albeit covered with nice knitted doilies).

  2. Lanthanide 2

    John Key about to dress down the elderly for making knitted goods featuring a red tie instead of his preferred blue.

    I’m a little teapot, short and stout
    Here is my handle [one hand on hip], here is my spout [other arm out straight]
    When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
    Just tip me over and pour me out!
    [as song ends, lean over and tip arm out like a spout]

    I’m a clever teapot, yes it’s true
    Here’s an example of what I can do
    I can change my handle to my spout [switch arm positions and repeat tipping motion]
    Just tip me over and pour me out

      But Banks isn’t stout, although like Gerry is a bigoted authoritarian redneck. Which makes Banks a strange fit for an Act Party that Brash supposedly wants to bring back to its libertarian roots.

      • Draco T Bastard 7.1.1

        From what I’ve seen, scratch a libertarian and you’ll find the authoritarian core.

    I’m a little teapot
    short and stout
    Here is my handle
    Here is my spout…

    but as for tangible policies about how to enable economic recovery
    after savagely slashing public services and making foolhardy soundbytes
    about new government research and development funding policies from
    the opposition,
    I can’t actually find any…

  11. prism 11

  23. Mac1 23

    ‘We’ll, the tea leaves forecast economic growth in the next few years. Um, well, Bill said they did last year also, but we are back in recession, so, um, er, we’ll just borrow a bit more money for the tax cuts”.

  25. todd 25

    Lot #9827 is a nice pair of tea cozies modeled by the former Prime Minister Shonkey the Honkey. He’s also for sale… Do I hear 5 cents… 5 cents anyone? One cent then?

    “Look wat Brownlee looted for us frim Christchurch Bronagh.”

    • Armchair Critic 28.1

      If they had been looted from Christchurch they would not be blue and white. Maybe they have been photoshopped, like Bronagh’s top.

  29. ZeeBop 29

    Debt in NZ is a huge problem, that’s why I John Key who have helped so many who are indebt. or took on debt, and got rich servicing them, should solve the debt crisis, first by distracting you to this things I’m holding.

    NZ owes billions to foreigners and that money needed a currency trader, to provide the principle in NZ dollars and swap the profits into foreign currency. Like these two money bags I’m holding up.

  30. Knit wit 30
