‘We are dealing with another example of my golden rule that if you give anyone authority, they will always abuse it – especially if it comes with a hi-viz jacket..’

‘New Zealand commodity prices fell at their fastest pace on record in July, notching up a fourth straight month of declines to the lowest level in almost six years, led by dairy.’

This is BIG news, but you won’t see the media giving it much play:
‘Famously progressive and permissive Holland has tried multiculturalism and decided that it just doesn’t work.
In a historic reversal, the Dutch are abandoning government policies in support of multiculturalism and demanding integration and acceptance of Dutch values from immigrants, mostly Muslims, who now constitute 6 percent of their population.
…Immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language and no exceptions to obedience to Dutch law will be allowed for followers of sharia.  In addition, the government will stop subsidizing Muslims and making special criteria for their employment…and will ban the burqa…’ 

It was only a matter of time…
‘Use anti-terror powers on Christian teachers who say gay marriage is wrong’
Tory MP says banning orders could be used against homophobic teachers..’
There’s that word again..disapproving of homosexual marriage is not in any way shape or form a “phobia” and anybody who uses the term homophobic should be pulled up sharply. Allowing it to enter the language unresisted has been a huge failure for free speech.
What’s more, “anti-terror” laws on both sides of the Atlantic were always going to be used more broadly than the lying bastards who passed them claimed. But those of us who pointed that out were paranoid. Conspiracy nuts.
We always are…until yesterday’s paranoia becomes today’s reality.

The peace of the grave:

The NZ media really is pathetic. Obsessed with wimmin’s concerns and confected victimhood, they’re forever running crap such as this story:
‘Why women freeze in office air-con
Many women have thought it for years but now scientists have confirmed females are at risk of being over-chilled by office air-conditioning..’
Perhaps it’ll spur women to get off their butts and get jobs involving physical exercise..which will have two benefits. The performance in the offices will improve and women won’t freeze.

‘Gloriavale’s Christian Community School has hit back at claims it is teaching a “sexist curriculum”.
The school’s principal Faithful Pilgrim said most female students chose to follow traditional and biblical roles because of their own faith, love for children, and “respect for their mothers”.
….”Those who talk about human rights should also consider that the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states that everybody has the right to freedom of religion and freedom from harassment, and that parents have the right to choose the kind of education that their children receive; including those who live at Gloriavale.”..’
He also thoroughly debunks the suggestion that academic standards at Gloriavale are somehow inferior to those of State Indoctrination Centers.

a blank slate and it’s all yours.

‘Loathsome, devious, despicable, treasonous, contemptible, sellout Republicans.’
