   To be honest, it appears that this woman is a serial fabricator.

     True or not, doesn’t mean she deserves to have a 40 year old set up a hate site about her, and be a continued target of his harrassment.

   Its time that we stoop up to that hate monger and sent him back to the shit hole from whence he came.

   His contempt for women, gays, workers, the poor, gays, Maori, the sick, handicapped, the downtrodden is digusting and goes against everything this country is all about.

   The guy would gladly turn off a sick woman’s oxygen machine and take (sexual?) pleasure in watching her die, and then threaten to beat up her sons. That is disgusting.

   And his latest act in targeting an innocent woman with a smear campaign tops it off. People like him managed to win office in Europe during the 1930’s.

         Should that be “miss-andrist annie”? Yes – dad4justice thinks that feminism = hatred or fear of men. He conflates hegemonic masculinity with “men” when they’re not the same thing at all.

     The insurance company paying his claim for being unable to work due to illness will be very interested in him working ‘for free’.
     Any work at all means the payments should end
     That would be a nice irony if instead he ends up as unemployed, but not eligible for a benefit as his domestic partner has some income

   We actually got an email about this from someone close to the young woman earlier this week but I didn’t know quite how to apporach it. A bit outside our normal ambit.

   Anyway, I read the mail and checked out the website. It’s vile stuff. The kind of hate site you hear of schoolkids making about each other. The email writer said “So yes I know the Going Family and the only thing this girl is guilty
   of is pissing Bridget Saunders off and refusing to be bullied by
   Cameron Slater.”

   I don’t know or particularly care about the rights or wrongs of this young woman’s actions. Whether this young woman has told some lies or not, slater\s behaviour is just far far over the bounds of acceptable behaviour, verging on criminal harrassment.

   I’ts great news that he has been exposed.

   Ag, Yeah I thought that might be the case but I don’t understand how that makes her a target. As far as I can see she’s not done anyone any harm, especially Slater, as as such should just be left to grow up a bit, not e bullied by some nasty buffoon who has never met her.
   • Ag 4.1

     From what I understand, she appears to be the sort of person who is quite happy to misrepresent themselves on a grand scale to garner attention. I have little sympathy for such persons. That being said, being cyber stalked by Cameron the Hutt is probably too much.

   The article shows Blubber Boy as what he is, a total wally. You would feel sorry for him as a long term depressive and a failed businessman who lives off insurance….if he did not take such obvious delight and pleasure in attacking others. Scum

   I just don’t get why he’s so tied into the the socialite world in Auckland. Why would he be interested? Just an obsession, part of the mental instablity I guess.

    Mr Whale is a case in which exposure will simply encourage further grandstanding. For all that, I do wonder how the values espoused by the National Party lie with the quality of thinking and expression employed by Mr Whale. Presumably, like some of the more unsavoury US actions on the international stage, deniability is everything!

      I have absolutely no idea of the links (if any) between Slater and the National hierarchy. However I have done a bit of time round politics and know, through both observation and personal experience that all sorts of people come out of the woodwork and proclaim their undying devotion to your cause.

      Often their dedication is directly proportional to the degree to which you wish they’d go away (and, ideally, support your opponents).

      But telling them to leave can have all sorts of unpredictable effects and lead to some sort of faecal cataclysm that it’d take you forever to clean up. So you just leave them there, hoping they implode rather than explode and that their antics won’t damage you to any great extent. Sometimes, of course, you make the wrong call.

      Bit like Labour and Chris Trotter, really 😀 *ducks*

        Talking points are sent out, of course his are more red meat than others, but heh its’ broad church’ and they would rather have him in the tent pissing out.

        Years back he admitted joining with Brownshirt Brownlee who turfed some poor soul down the stairs for speaking out at Election meeting for then PM Shipley. The police declined to prosecute Brownlee but the individual won a private judgement.

        12 July 2009 at 7:21 pm

        But I believe that National wants it both ways. There are senior National figures who are not averse to using unsavoury commentary when it suits them, but how much better to have a deniable front organisation. A chat her, a nod there, a leak every now and then, but nothing formal, Moreover, and this is, I think, the important point, National sees Messrs Kiwi and Whale as urban shock troops. bringing its message to the blogging generation. Mr Whale’s commentaries will not disturb backblock conservative National supporters, for they are unlikely to see them. But in the increasingly important urban world, these blogs serve to present National in a ‘modern’ , guise.

        As for Mr Trotter, your opening premise, by extension – that Mr Trotter proclaims undying devotion to Labour – would, I think, cause him palpitations.

    Unable to work and receiving 75%of his former salary?

    Next time the wee prick has a go at sickness beneficiaries or anyone else living off taxpayers money somebody should remind him that he is living off other peoples’ insurance premiums…which will be far more $ and c per person going to him than the $ and c per tax payer going to a beneficiary.

    I don’t think he’ll get it though, ’cause as he says….

    One point caught my eye in the SST article In the past year, it has broken a number of stories that have been followed, often unattributed, by news outlets, notably Winston Peters’ lingering post-election grip on his ministerial vehicle.
    The same point was raised in this article: Because The Mainstream Press Never Copies Stories From Bloggers Without Credit…
    It seems its common practice for the MSM to take content from bloggers, but when happens the other way round, in which case it is nearly always attributed, they think the bloggers should pay and have been trying figure out ways to do so. The MSM has no credibility.

    Just leave it. She’s a little odd too. There’s a Pearl Going fan blog I rather suspect she writes herself. But really, who cares? None of it justifies Slater’s fatwah on her.

    At best it’s hilarious (Slater really has no sense of irony) and at worst a bit creepy.
    • Mary 15.1

      12 July 2009 at 7:36 pm

      Actually it just goes to show how wrong you all are. To suggest Pearl Going would start a fan site herself is pretty funny given she can not stand been called a socialite. Here is a young girl who for the last year some freakish old man she has not met stalked her. Pearl Going actually has a job and if you ask people who actually know her they will tell you she is one hard worker. From memory she has not been in the social pages since November last year.

      Your take on this makes me angry because at least 5 people not Pearl Going recieved death threats regarding her from an individual that admitted via txt and facebook messages that they were going to disfigure her, smash her teeth out and kill her. I was one of these people and like the others we all went to the Police together and laid complaints. The individual has been identified as a collaborator with Cameron Slater for that website. This young woman is also someone who has only met Pearl Going twice and has leeched on for attention. This is a really serious situation and HoS has made light of it.

      Slater then seeking attention posted it on his blog and instructed others to call the HoS to drive attention to it. Pearl Going had nothing to do with that piece and really just wants to be left to live her life in peace. Why is it Cameron Slater can harass her past a point that is criminal threaten her life, emotional well being etc?

      If I remember correctly Slater denied the first site been him and if we are going to be smart Russell read the first post on PGIAF where they admit to been the same person? The Police did not shut us down blah blah blah – I am sorry but yes the Police did shut the last site down and Slater only admitted it because he thought they already knew.

      You all go on about how vile he is well here is a young woman he has driven almost to the point of death. Nobody unstable or ‘odd’ handles that invasion and scrutiny if they are not a very srtong balanced individual.

      None of you know her yet you all think ok I can judge her. What if I told you Pearl Going barely leaves her house these days because of this lunatics stalking, she no longer feels safe to go out at night. What if I told you she was a really lovely young woman with an amazing story to tell? Look at the content on that website and ask yourself is it fair?

      So yeah go guys leave it lets just let this asshole kill her – More to blog about right?

      I have another question if you were Pearl Going with the media determined to paint you as something you are not ‘ a socialite’.

      Here is your opportunity to shut a mentally disturbed at his own admission down. Have you ever thought of contacting Pearl Going Russell? What if its all really wrong and there is one hell of a story that will never get told because none of you buggers can be trusted?

        13 July 2009 at 7:36 pm

        Mary, I can act as a protector for that lovely Ms Going, whichever social scene in town that she wants to go to. I think she is gorgeous. I’ll do this in exchange for free entry for me to hard to get in popular venues that she goes to. I have tried to get into these clubs in towns (such as Spy Bar), but get turned away & told that specific club is membership only. So, it is a two-way thing. Ms Going gets a bodyguard, and Falafulu will have a chance to get into those restricted clubs & perhaps party.

        Whaddya reckon?

    Strange, searching Kiwiblog shows that DPF’s also written about her recently, weighing in on Slaters side. Of course he’s more temperate than Slater but it’s a weird look for National’s two attack bloggers – both men in the 40s – to be gunning for some irrelevent 24 year old socialite.

    Ah, yes – the good ole, tried and true, right wing strategy: blame the victim. “Silly woman, serves her right going about the place looking so beautiful, lets put her name in the headlines, and the name of all the rape victims – teach them a lesson about interfering in the business of us blokes”.

    What a top chap your mate Blubber Boy really is.
