The ‘Ministry for Culture and Heritage’ should butt out.

‘A protector of New Zealand heritage has stepped into the plans of Kiwi “Dambusters” veteran Les Munro to auction his war medals…’
There’d be no New Zealand heritage to protect if it wasn’t for the likes of Les Munro. What he chooses to do with his own hard-won medals is his own fucking business. Where were these leeches when Mr. Munro was flying a four-engined bomber at 60ft and getting the shit shot out of him?

      If the leeches block the sale, I’d hope Mr. Munro would do what I would do in the same circumstances.
      I would melt them down and say “fuck you”. Then post the lump to the leeches. You want medals, well, here’s the damn medals, assholes.
      I feel rather strongly about this.

    I notice that the ministry of culture ,who I thought were only interested in natives,were alerted to the sale by the herald newspaper.Nothing to do with them or anybody else.I,m with you on this one, they belong to the guy himself, he has a right to do as he likes with his own property.Also seems a bit rich for the NZ govt since they approve of land sales to all and sundry overseas purchasers.As you say,pack of arseholes

    Arseholes is right,*they* are only doing that because they can,no other reason.

    Too right, KG. He won them, they are his property. Unbelievable garbage. Makes my blood boil. So, it’s okay to give back all the private land too then is it…is what the endgame will be??http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

      That wouldn’t surprise me at all, Lara. Property rights no longer mean much.

        Right you are, KG:

        I’m afraid the West has returned to the 12th century where the King owned all the money, land, buildings, roads and people, and used his knights knock heads if anyone protested.

        The West has reached the end of the road back to Serfdom. :shock:

        Do we tug the forelocks on our head and bow low to our new knight BETTERS called bureaucrats and politicians :?: :evil:

    As far as I know a military medal of this kind is an individual’s private property subject only to the proviso that Her Majesty can withdraw it if it proved to have been obtained falsely or the recipient (like Rolf Harris) is subsequently shown to be grossly unworthy.

    By what right some pasty-faced bureaucrat in Wellington has to interpose his useless hide into the disposal of a vet’s personal property escapes me! Utterly reprehensible.

    I couldn’t agree more with the suggestion of melting them down and posting the lump to John Key with a covering note: “please forward to the arsehole in the heritage department”. That’s how my personality rolls.

    “What he chooses to do with his own hard-won medals is his own fucking business. Where were these leeches when Mr. Munro was flying a four-engined bomber at 60ft and getting the shit shot out of him?” Nailed it KG. This episode makes me furious.

    Why don’t the useless pricks just out-bid the (probably infinitely more worthy) collector who is going to buy them :?:

    After all, they wont be using their own money :evil:

    Sounds like another set of names to add to the list.

    Know your AO.

    If Mr Munro wants to sell his medals or shove them in his backside, it is his business and his business alone. The Ministry of Culture believes it has the right or obligation to interfere with Mr Munro’s private dealings by appropriating TAXpayers’ monies. Pompous useless pricks!
