Yes, it is an anglo-saxon push back. It is straight forward white supremacy. If we view Luxon as a Christian Nationalist then we should not be surprised.
National wants to paint New Zealand as a white anglo-saxon style ANZUS aligned ‘Western’ & ‘Christian’ country. This is about white supremacy. There will be more alignment: the Nuclear Ban will go; Abortion will be limited.
It has been clear for some time that Britain is colonising itself Last week’s market freakout was merely what happens when a Tory government’s chaosonomics meets reality. Una Mullally, Irish Times, gives an additional context to the stunts of the latest ...
Thanks. I’ll do that.
Britain is Colonising Itself. I post this piece on Truss & the Tories in full as it is behind a paywall. Una Mullally: It has been clear for some time that Britain is colonising itself [deleted]
Scotland is planning an Independence referendum on 19th October 2023. With Scotland exiting the Union, and Northern Ireland already half way out, the edifice that we call Britain and UK will become defunct. The argument to retain the Windsor monarchy as ...
Suspension of Sanity over yet? When are we allowed to discuss Aotearoa having a new Head of State that does not live here, takes millions in cash as backhanders from despots, has appointed an even more corrupt brother his deputy, married a 19yr old for ...

We’ve been told not to upset those who are in the 10 week mourning period for the late monarch. So I’ll focus on some interesting facts. I haven’t had a pint since the Elizabethan Period. Brian Tamaki was in Hotel Bonaparte in Paris during Elizabethan ...
Thanks for your thoughtful and rational contribution to debate. The pages of TheStandard wouldn’t be the same without you.
TVNZ have spent the last four days reinforcing the notion that Colonialism/Racism was/is a glorious endeavour and should be celebrated in glorious pageantry.
The successful HoS model that is most often suggested for New Zealand is that of Ireland. Look it up on wiki.
The Commonwealth org has a budget smaller than that of Invercargill council! What to we do through that org that we can’t do better directly?
Thank you for that posting, Peter. There is a well informed and well considered debate going on around the world at this time. One of the English Queens’s roles at the time of here accession was to continue the benefits and influence they had as a colonial...
It is disappointing that after all this time many on the left feel uncomfortable with criticising Russia. It suggests to me that some of us lefties either have weak foundation to our values or that some of us with a Marxist Leninist bent are now warm ...
The Commonwealth. A term used a lot in the coverage of the monarchy change. Up to now I viewed it as a silly pretendy thing. I now see it as a pernicious tool to whitewash colonial history and to frame racism as benign behaviour. Aotearoa must now exit the...
Matt Robson, formerly Alliance/Progressives, is the only Kiwi on a Ukrainian Government list of people pushing pro Russian propaganda. Can anyone point me to what he was up to?
vto is voicing Don Brash stuff. Not worth the effort, Molly.
I saw protestors (40+) up close today on both sides of the road by the lights in Silverdale around 1730 today. I know a Nat when I see one. These were not the faces we have seen on TV & SM. These were middle class pakeha with entitled faces. They are angry...

.....conversation today with an "Ex Pat": an English Migrant in NZ. He had picked up from FB or talkback..... "Jacinda Arder is hi-tailing off to Europe because NZ cannot export to EU anymore when England Brexits. " Why, I hear you ask. "Because NZ sells ...
The pro Brexit vote was a cry by a large section of English society that feels it had no voice in the institutions of state. First past the post: no proportional representation. 5m people vote UKIP and didn’t get a single seat. An unelected upper chamber ...
THE IRISH coast guard has today issued a nationwide warning for the East Coast as hundreds of thousands of British refugees risk their lives to cross the Irish sea in an attempt to flee the impoverished and unstable nation. Dinghies overflowing with ...
Zinfandel?
Corbyn has already lost a lot of support as a result of his “conflicted” Brexit position and cat&mouse Parliamentary tactics. May and her cabinet are the greatest Tory numpties in a generation and yet Corbyn is 12 points behind and Labour is 2-6. Corbyn is...
Guy Verhofstadt also said The UK Parliament has said what it doesn't want. Now is the time to find out what UK parliamentarians want. In the meantime, the rights of citizens must be safeguarded. #Brexit @guyverhofstadt
The best coverge of Brexit from a non London perspective is from Tony Connolly of RTE. The BBC has been appaling: repeated false statements by Brexiteers go unchallenged. Brexit has damaged the BBCs reputation as much as it has shredded the reputation of ...
“Sean Hannity is on signals intelligence co-ordinating his pro-Trump message with organs of the Russian state, such as RT, Sputnik, Wikileaks and Julian Assange. However, emails co-ordinating messaging with registered agents of the Russian state are said ...

Leighton Smith says the Russian thing is a Democratic Party conspiracy to save face for their loss of the elections. And all his callers agree with him. Move on, nothing to see here.
