I recommend readers to David Slack's latest edition of "More then a Fielding" in the sidebar and in particular "Not a story" by Hazel Phillips: https://subslack.substack.com/p/stories-of-varying-weight She was charged with the task of recording hundreds of...
Few in the MSM appear to have the cojones to point out it was the former Labour Govt.'s initiative. Yet they allow Luxon and his band of bandits to wallow in faux tears over what happened, and to lap up public sentiment even though they did damn-all over ...
"Despicable conduct by the top end of town. It's who they are." See my 5.1
I have been pondering this very issue. The truth is, the ministers and the senior officials who were directly and/or indirectly responsible for these institutional crimes occurring will never be publicly named because they were once people in high places. ...
The answer lies in Tom's last sentence.
I happened upon a very interesting interview between former MI5 director, Eliza Manningham-Buller and former MI6 director John Sawyer that took place some two months ago. The entire interview is worth a watch, but they touch upon the subject of Biden and ...
I expect PR will go to ground. :wink: So, the shooter was a Far Right Republican. DJ Trump wasn't extreme enough for him? America is stuffed! [unlinked quote deleted]
I hear he inadvertently introduced Zelensky as President Putin. Funny but very sad. Surely he is gone!
No he's good value Grey Area. Nearly always right with his synopsis. Its not for the faint hearted I know but you get used to his style of language.
Mine was a turbo prop many years ago landing in Te Anau before walking the Milford Track. There was a storm raging and we were the last plane allowed in the air from ChCh. When we catapulted on to a sodden runway, we saw the previous turbo prop lying on ...
Seymour has been getting all the publicity with his doomsday predictions. Peters is after some of the action. Why in God's name do the MSM give them so much air-time while almost totally ignoring some good rebuttals of this government's behaviour coming ...
Are you referring to this story? The incident occurred in 1986. The Russian Cruise liner sank somewhere in the vicinity of the Cook Strait. If I remember correctly Winston claimed it had been deliberately scuttled or some such tale. It was rubbish. The NZ ...
Given his last sentence, I took it that Rodel was being sarcastic about the NAct pollies. It does not follow that he/she thinks people and cars are more important than the freight carried.
They are only in touch with themselves. I note Luxon only discovered overnight (our time) at the NATO summit that the West is opposed to Russia's war with Ukraine and he announced that NZ supports Ukraine - as if the previous government didn't take a stand...
...these dickheads want to end “roll on roll off” rail freight between North and South Islands, and destroy rail in favour of their trucking mates–guess what–new vessels will still be required to enable their double and triple handling... As I said above:...
Excellent summation Mountain Tui. Congratulations. I agree with PL.A, this post should be widely disseminated. A more general response: There are four main reasons why National led governments get into so much shit: 1) They don't do their homework properly...
Yes Belladonna. I'm sure some will appreciate the intended humour given it was a title coined by the inimitable John Cleese and co. in the film "Life of Brian". .
Sorry, Can't resist it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0BpfwazhUA Seems the Popular Front had an historical equivalent.
Yes. but it is still a massive relief. Fascism is spreading its ugly tentacles around the world and when a country's citizens vote to prevent them from gaining power they are to be applauded. The battle in France has been won for the time being, but the ...
I took it to mean Starmer had his shoe in the door so that nobody else could get a foot in. :wink:
Sometimes those proxies operate outside of government agencies which makes it hard to pinpoint who they are.
Who would do business with a sovereign state that will welch on contracts just to gain a political advantage over its rival? This is the crux of the argument. A bunch of disparate adults intent upon gaining power, are prepared to dump everything the ...
SPC Thankyou. My favourite flashmob video. The joy on the faces of the bystanders is a joy in itself.
I had the feeling Tame was giving bully girl Collins an easy time of it. Too scared to rock the boat too much in case there were consequences?
Not quite sure what you mean there ob. Are you saying Winston will not be prepared to "wave it through" because it would be a negative ending to his career? I despise the man but would be prepared to upgrade my opinion of him [ever so slightly] if he did ...
https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/06/22/govt-very-disappointed-in-kiwirail-amid-aratere-grounding-brown/ Sniveling little creep. Sorry if that offends anyone but imo that is close to the mark.
It is incomprehensible to me that this government will not or cannot comprehend the consequences of their own actions or inactions as the case may be. When a car or a bus or a train or a boat becomes old and unsafe you get rid of it and buy a new one. If a...
An equally appropriate clip personifying this Govt, and Simeon Brown in particular. Courtesy of Nick Rockell which is a must read today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM
