Death Threats from my mates the Brick Chuckers

by Whaleoil August 31, 2009

The peo­ple who have issued the death threats to Sue Brad­ford are the same ones who did the same to me and included the threat of chuck­ing bricks through my win­dows. They are total cow­ards and never fronted to make good on their threats. How­ever I don’t think that Sue Brad­ford can claim these people […]

The underlying racism of Labour

by Whaleoil August 31, 2009

Some goose called John Lang­don from the Labour Party dropped this pearler the other day: “Auck­land has never had an elected Maori coun­cil­lor. Pakeha, appar­ently, just wont vote for a Maori.” Well that’s very inter­est­ing. So what was John Rangi­hou Awa­tere doing on the coun­cil dur­ing the 1960s for a num­ber of terms? There have been a number […]

Mallard on Integration

by Whaleoil August 30, 2009

Never let it be said that I don’t give kudos when kudos is war­ranted.

The PPTA want to close the door on schools […]

Now this is Irony

by Whaleoil August 30, 2009

Is any­one else bemused by the irony of a boxer who makes his liv­ing by smack­ing the crap out of all com­ers is sud­denly the poster bot for the anti-smacking brigade? This is actu­ally not funny. It remains legal for him to punch peo­ple in the ring but par­ents can’t smack a child on the […]

Let’s face it Labour aren’t going any­where so to have Win­ston announc­ing he is going to make a come­back is great. […]
