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...
Will I forgive the boards of all the professional medical bodies who did not stand up or speak up against the initial introduction of mandates on medical, scientific or ethical grounds? No. Will I forgive any person who acted as a "force multiplier" for ...
The things we don’t regret keeping are a strong measure of what we don’t value. I won't regret letting go that last tiny vestige of respect I had for liberals. I won't regret letting go a capacity for empathy if (or more likely "when") people who ...
And we will own nothing and be happy. ;-) Unless....
@ the unliving. Two words on vaccination rates and Covid spread. Ireland. Gibraltar. That aside, study showing no difference in infection rate across multiple countries and US states in relation to vaccine rates. But then, that's leaky vaccines for you. ...
@ weka I've lost your comment, but yes, they will be getting pulled up, and in no uncertain terms. Letter came out prior to Xmas asserting that proof of vaccination would be required to continue (in this instance) after school drama classes. And they knew ...
@ Weka. Actually. It appears school has been sending out bullshit info to parents around extracurricular activities and vaccination on the grounds (I guess) they reckoned they'd be able to ask for proof. So thank you for that.
@Bill, children aren't covered by the ...
And before I go, on your graph and thanks to Belladonna below... The Health Ministry has confirmed that it counts any person in hospital with Covid as a hospitalisation, whether they’re there because of Covid symptoms or complications, or for something ...
I know this shit inside out. People who tell stories about their cousin's kid being vaccinated with MMR vax and then two weeks later having neurological issues. But they have zero competency to describe a mechanism for injury, and struggle with concepts of...
I was "invalidated" from the workforce some years back, so absolutely understand the limitations placed on the unemployed by lack of economic resource. And I'm not vaccinated. The shit that's come down with "traffic lights" bears no comparison to the ...
What the NZ government has done is pointlessly 'vaccinate' millions who were not vulnerable and so never going to wind up in hospital and exposed them to vaccine injury. And even I know a clutch of people who got hit hard in close proximity to injection (1...
Targeting with a leaky vaccine does not expose vulnerable people and is precisely the health response to other viral infections we only have leaky vaccines for.
