I remember hearing years ago that the reason he survived politically in wellington was that he was happy to drink with anyone. And yes that is the problem. With the whole fucking set-up

"i would like to lose at a pub quiz in the most bigoted way possible xx"

Remember that if you sundown in fashy ways that make great headlines (and therefore make journalism simple) then you'll just be platformed!! Also I've said this before but I'm absolutely begging the left to stop saying they want to do a pub quiz with this man, stop fucking normalising him

i think if we're going to be talking specifics like that then there needs to be proof, rather than just hearsay. And if journalists are, apparently, aware of this then why are they not doing something about it?

it'd be funny af, but people in the party hierarchy are FAR more aggravated by my legitimate criticisms on social media than they should be given what the party routinely does to itself. Still a few too many radical centrists with factional motives who hold decision-making power, it seems.

"Former Soldier" really cleans up that mercenary title, doesn't it?

all my apes gone

that graph showing the drop off in activity is actually insane - i definitely want to see more data on it because my word, surely it's not THAT reliant??

should probably lead the headline with who he was working for - one of the worst living war criminals on the planet for the express purpose of US mining interests in Congo it should be a stain against the NZ armed forces that they create soldiers who then become mercenaries like this

yeah this is the thing eh, why is he getting so much across board positive coverage regardless??

If this is health wise he should stand way for Jones and Costello. If this is because the cookers fried him and hence why he is now lurching back to social conservatism again in any case the media need to pull finger out of their arse and Page 1 either case of Winston not kiss his arse with PR

health wise

ive seen it mentioned a few places now that its apparently an "open secret" in the parliamentary precinct (including among media) that Winston Peters is struggling. If this is the case, then NZ voters are owed clarity on that, and it raises EVEN MORE questions about the constant PR coverage for NZF.

yeah im pretty certain we can know exactly what ACT etc are spending their campaign funds on eh

Farrar and Jordan's push polling in action.

oooof

I guess we know where Labour’s “attack Māori women on your left” strategy came from then

I miss her all the time. I hate what the media did to her.
