the McBishop, 'Weaponising the haka'

[Lilith7]

He really is quite repulsive

And narrow minded & I suspect very immature as well. How many well balanced people tend to burn a book, simply due to it having been written by a former PM who also happens to be a woman - possible the real problem these idiots have..well, one of them.

He does nothing for race relations. But hey, he's not very bright. Best ignored.

she's turned into one of the people you despise, rich pricks with all their rich mates, i wouldn’t read her book if it was free

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Funny attitude that, deciding you dislike something before you've even tried it. Especially about a book ffs. It's just a book, it won't bite you.

If I had lived within walls like that I would have missed out on some real adventures, some real pleasures, and some very real lessons, and lived a much narrower life.

Mind you, I might be falling into a trap here. Maybe it isn't the politics. Maybe you just find reading hurts your thinking bits.

im a prolific reader, i just have standards and anything that person has to say im not interested in unless it’s a apology for splitting the country, setting up farmers and landlords as the enemy, creating a group of second class citizens  because they refused to take  injections, creating a racial divide, all the while lining her pockets and planning to f off and leave us to sort out her shitpile   

no wonder she’s scared to come back

She is not scared to be on multiple international stages though is she? Maybe that says something about the vociferous few who actively speak in often insulting and abusive terms about her personally, and her time in office, while studiously ignoring the fact she has been lauded by an awful lot of commentators who know quite a lot about leadership and the demands that role requires.

I do wish though some other political figures were scared to be here. We would be so much better off without their divisive, racist, and aggressive Trumpian efforts...

Oh, and yes, I despise selfish rich people. And their poor versions as well. It's selfishness that repulses me.

Exactly - just the greed crazed ones. The sort who exploit others for their own gain. The kind who want to continually grind down working people.

It seems to be that generally, those who've actually done some hard graft to become wealthy tend to usually  not end up being crazed with greed as some do.

And that second class thing? Much as you might love to, that can hardly be blamed on her or her govt. 

You'd need to go back to the 80's, the Lange Labour govt with Roger Douglas, who imposed Neo Liberalism here,with neither warning nor discussion.

And there's a deep vein of misogyny involved in that anti Jacinda bollocks too.


Which oddly enough, I can't recall back when Jenny Shiply was PM; she was disliked but I don't think there was quite the same amount of misogyny.

We agree on Shipley. Nasty woman, as the Pres would say.

Indeed she was  - she & Ruth Richardson weren't known as Ruthless & Jennycide without good reason..

Making a point by emphasising the ridiculous. Very on point coming from you heinie

Oh but I love it. It explains all my wrinkles and those blobby bits. It wasn't aging at all, it was all that over education...

I should've stuck with kittens.
