Caption: man is very pleased with himself that he was able to prevent women speaking.
My God, one journalist actually spoke to the woman the NZ media's been maligning in their news coverage for days? How generous!
Bloke thinks he should go to protest women in speaking in public. Disappointed but not surprised, it seems to be much more common among blokes than I'd suspected.
"Homophobia is rife in this movement." Yes, there's more than one elephant in this particular room.
The event is called Let Women Speak. It does exactly that and only that. And yet you title your post about it "Debating with Nazis" and include in it a blatant propaganda lie about Kellie-Jay Keen supposedly making a white supremacist hand signal. Did you ...
I’m putting this post up primarily to highlight what the women speaking themselves are saying. The thing that's stood out to me about media coverage of this so far is that the women involved are completely absent from it. They talk to Shaneel Lal, they ...
The sanctions do seem a bit underwhelming. Western countries should have gone with full military support for Ukraine from the start.
Misogyny and sexism at the bottom of it, alright. It's true that if they tried to claim men should be referred to as sperm deliverers or prostate havers, the backlash would be immediate and uncompromising. But they don't seem to have even thought of trying...
Funny how this "inclusive language" never involves phrases like "people with prostates", "semen ejaculators" etc. It's always the female humans being erased by this gibberish, with a cheery handwave of "Women are not being erased." They think we're idiots ...
This reflects the good old difference between "the public interest" and "what the public is interested in." What specific events need investigating?
Lol "secret meeting." Is there any organisation that wouldn't get relevant people together to discuss what to do about the loose unit who's shitting on them in the media? As for "pre-determined," the only thing surprising there is that they didn't ...
That's very much the impression I get too. When I was working in Kuwait we had a Gaurav who, when HR finally did manage to fire him, got pissed that night and chucked a concrete block through the rear window of the boss' Trans Am. Jacinda Ardern should ...
Luxon hired a QC to investigate one of his MPs who admitted to having gotten away with a violent criminal offence and only admitting it when his victim made it public. If Labour were to mount a similar investigation, it would be into Sharma's staff ...
True - no clickbait value in reporting his staff's experiences.
They seem to have talked to him at length already, and much good it did them. As to the allegations of bullying, they seem to amount to him complaining that the whips not only wouldn't improperly step in to help him mistreat his staff, they actively told ...
They do, which is why they've suspended him. And yet, despite how he's fucked them over, they've left him a path back in if he learns not to shit on the party in public. It's the kind of thing you need to get together in advance to discuss.
I blame the Americans.
To be fair, if I'd shat on them all from a great height the way he has, I'd be finding reasons not to turn up myself.
His claims of bullying appear to relate directly to the whips not agreeing to do to his staff actions which in my view would amount to bullying. I don't understand how little coverage this highly relevant information is getting.
Tell me you don't know what a political party is or how it works without saying you don't know.
Depends on how willing you are to take Sharma's word for it, I guess. There are of course many very gullible people out there, so no doubt some do.
Sounds like vague allegations with no details to me. And it's seriously nothing unusual to find your meeting with a senior manager has been delegated to one of their staff. It's annoying but it's not bullying. It's even more annoying if you find the senior...
The only detail is of one incident, in which he was told by McAnulty's staff how "terrible" a manager he was, and I doubt that "terrible" is a direct quote of what they said. Unfortunately for him, it sounds like he is a terrible manager. The fact that ...
So far, all I've been able to take from this is that many people seem to think "bullying" is them not getting their own way. Unless there's evidence of actual bullying that hasn't been released yet, the take home messages seem to be: 1. Get a fucking grip ...
See, now you're getting the hang of it. Still needs work, though - what have the people involved in the conference lied about, or been incompetent at? Your comment needs to make that clear.
My comment was the expression of a general opinion. I didn't see yours before the defamatory content was removed, but from the context it looks like you were making specific allegations against identifiable individuals. One is highly unlikely to put the ...
The professionals who spoke out against CATA are either lying or incompetent. Or both. I think they're lying, in the same way that the priest lies when he says the wafer transforms into the body of Christ in the worshipper's mouth: he knows it's not true ...
I hope so. It's going to need continued vigilance to prevent this creeping back in again. Still - I wish we had that problem here, rather than the one we do have!
Thanks weka, this is a great summary of what's happening. I'm seeing a fair bit of triumphalism from GC Twitter accounts today, and fair enough I suppose, it's a huge victory for reason and hopefully means adults back in the room. It doesn't mean, though, ...
No soul? Hey, to be fair I hear Tauranga has an excellent white supremacy museum.
And suddenly, out of the blue this particular tragedy captures the passions and the desire to fight. There's something about a fascist dictatorship invading a democracy with the intent of genocide that has that effect, yes. This is a good thing. ...the ...
