The media always hated MIQ - it did, after all, represent everything they despised, in that it put saving lives over shallow convenience. As we now experience hundreds of deaths, the priority really should be asking why they were so obsessed with giving ...
I would have thought that, you know, the actual Russian Communist Party (which opposes the War) would have been the rump of the actual Soviet leadership. Putin is no Communist, of course. His brand of nationalistic reaction is basically the Tsarist Empire ...
As far as I know NATO has never invaded anyone. That'd be news to Serbia.
It's only a small thing, but honestly, restoring universal membership to Students' Associations wouldn't cost a cent, and would ensure that students are less at the mercy of their institutions. The lack of action, in light of conference votes, and the ...
Nationals new policy is. Let's give all our MP's a big fat pay raise.
Try reading section 5 of NZBORA, mate.
Additional reason: Legitimising the protestors just encourages them to do it again at a later date. Welcome to Banana Republic territory.
There are no protest leaders. 2. The conversation would at best go Jacinda: "What are your demands." Nutters: "End all mandates now." Jacinda: "I can't do that." You can't negotiate with muppets from Mars. The real crime is that they are being legitimised...
The working class don't fight for the right to kill others through their own stupidity. Working class, my arse. This protest is against the very notion of solidarity... and the number of poncy muppets driving down in fancy SUVs rather goes against your ...
You forgot the rubber bullets. Then we will see if they are real protestors.
I believe the full term is "They are shitting on us." For two years, the vast majority of the New Zealand public has been fighting the virus. Now? A sliver of muppets are literally fighting for the virus... calling for Death both implicitly (via the end of...
It might be comparable to flu in severity (for the vaccinated), but it is far more infectious. Which leads to worse health outcomes overall. Seen the death toll numbers out of Australia, mate? Does that look like a common cold to you?
"No jab, no job," is not Jim Crow. It's about consequences of choices. If you choose to endanger society through your own stupidity, society will respond in kind. If you're upset about discrimination... get vaccinated. Problem solved.
Wee difference between burning someone in effigy and actually running around with nooses and signs of death threats. Try harder.
There needs to be a full inquiry into the Police's handling of this protest. It is abundantly clear that they have breached their responsibilities to the public.
Workers, my arse. Let's call fascists what they are, please.
Yep. 60% whose needs are being utterly ignored by both media and police.
Pretty much every Maori group out there - up to and including Tama Iti - have condemned this protest. As for those taking part in the protest, who happen to be Maori? If you're far-right, you're far-right - ethnicity doesn't matter. Two-thirds of New ...
The NZ Communist Party in 1951 weren't threatening to murder politicians, nor were they holding the capital to ransom by blockading it with vehicles. Nor did Bastion Point revolve around people asserting their right to endanger the entire population via ...
My paternal grandfather actually was on the HMS Prince of Wales (he survived). He always blamed the higher-ups for inadequate air cover.
Because dialogue with two year-olds throwing a temper tantrum is so productive.
NZBORA doesn't guarantee the right to work, or the right to dine in a local restaurant. If you are choosing to endanger society by refusing the vaccination, don't whinge when society chooses to treat you in kind.
The operative word is "chosen."
2020 was the year New Zealand - alone among Western democracies - successfully invoked the Blitz Spirit to defeat the virus. It was a year this country can be justifiably proud of, a year that showed that the poison of neoliberalism had not completely ...
Small problem there, mate. The rest of the country is looking on at these muppets, and is itself getting pissed off and angry.
No-one cares what these nutters claim or don't claim. You don't get to threaten to murder people, and then turn around and whinge that those people aren't talking to you.
I'd also suggest that the number of unvaxxed Wellington adults is 1-2%. That tow-truck business owner whingeing about mandates is taking the piss.
High petrol prices are never good for incumbent Governments, of course. So far as Covid goes - the whingers are a loud and powerful minority. 58% of the country wants to keep the borders closed, after all, and the notion that the Government has been ...
Trevor Mallard's escalation is profoundly stupid, of course. Best to completely ignore the muppets, even if they're there for weeks. (I do actually suspect a majority of New Zealand would secretly like to channel their inner Muldoon here, but the key is ...
"I apologise for Public Health Measures that have saved thousands of lives, and which have enjoyed great public support since the pandemic began. I realise now that people have the right to infect other people with deadly diseases through their own ...
Damn it, Zeus. Try harder.
