It's that horrible damp cold in Te Whanganui-a-Tara today, the graveyard clamminess that seeps into your bones, that creeps under your clothes, the feeling of mould edging its way, silently, into your lungs, the wooden shack miasma that never quite seems to dry out

If Winston truly believes Chlöe is responsible for his broken window then logically it follows that he must be accepting personal responsibility for every single death threat made to Benjamin Doyle and their whanau.

Comment from Auckland University: Measles vaccination levels in NZ have dipped well below that necessary for herd immunity, exposing us to diseases we thought we’d consigned to history.

Yup. He's also truly responsible for the occupation at parliament, if we follow the same standards he applies to Chlöe.

If he wants to play this game he is going to lose so badly.
Winston Peters meeting with the people who occupied parliament, set the grounds on fire, threw bricks at police, and intimidated the residents of Thorndon. By his own standards he is explicitly condoning their behaviour.

Yes, um, "mysterious". The director of your integrity projects was an early and regular guest to The Platform, which was funded by the owners of a chain of early childhood centres to advance their political agenda.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Yep, that would be the most sensible thing to do

According to "Inner-City Wellington" it looks like only around 1 in 5 people have voted! I know you voted, but have you checked on your friends? Link to voting drop box locations.
Maybe a cheeky re-post too.

Pension is the first UBI, and it works. Only flaw is that it depends on how long you live, so favours the more privileged.

The existence of even one Catholic convert dismantles the central lie of religion, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

See I can make bullshit, nonsense arguments too, Heritage Foundation.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

That's what worries me about the calibre of our political Left, why don't they point this out REPEATEDLY at the time?

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
