New Zealanders “Desperate to Leave” as Thousands Flee “Controlling and Fearful” Jacinda Ardern
Borders were opened to New Zealanders and Australians in February and March, and now visitors from around 60 countries, including Britain, can enter the country if they are vaccinated and test negative for COVID-19 before and after arriving. But while some tourists willing to brave the testing gauntlet are starting to trickle into the country, Kiwis are fleeing the country en masse. GB News has the story.
Government officials have estimated 50,000 New Zealanders will flee the country over the next year as the borders reopen after two years of Covid-19 restricting travel.
Speaking exclusively to GB News, Act Party leader David Seymour says Jacinda Ardern and her Government’s policies have resulted in New Zealand experiencing a level of despair not seen for years.
He said: “Don’t believe the hype. Anyone can quarantine a remote island, the hard part was always going to be reconnecting and getting our way of life back.
“At that, Jacinda Ardern’s Government has failed. Tragicomically, her own rules mean she herself is now forced to isolate and miss parliament despite testing negative because her partner has Covid.”
Mr Seymour says the country is going in the wrong direction, and Kiwis are desperate to properly reconnect with the world.
He added: “New Zealand faces a hangover from its Covid measures in the form of a cost-of-living crisis, like many countries. What is different here is the despair that comes from being lectured to and restricted while the rest of the world moves on.
“The Government has blown a 25-point lead to trail the opposition just 18 months from the election, and the majority of New Zealanders say our country is going in the wrong direction for the first time since the GFC.
“We are hearing the phrase brain drain for the first time in a decade, hospitals report their nurses are leaving. It is dismal and we could be doing so much better.”
A spokesman for popular Facebook group for New Zealanders living in Britain, “Kiwis in London”, told GB News it has experienced a surge of interest from Kiwis desperate to make the move to Britain: “The people are sick and tired of the controlling narrative along with the fear campaign that has engulfed the media and government messaging for the past two years.”
The toothy tyrant is losing her grip.

My post would breach the profanity and abuse rules so I will not comment as I would like
Just think…Bumped off!
I shudder to think what you would wish to say commenting on an article about Scott Morrison!!
Only 6 million in NZ – Johnson could invite them all here to share accommodation with his Hong Kong Chinese, Ukrainians and Boat People.
They might just prefer to stay at home though. On the other hand, looking again at those menacing teeth……….
I suppose that, instead of (not) sending Boat People to Rwanda, they could journey instead to New Zealand, and New Zealanders, who wished to come here, could be absolved of visa and other entry/residence requirements. This would be advantageous all round. The Boat People would find themselves in Jacinda’s warm and welcoming embrace, we would instead receive Kiwis, and it would be a fair swap.
There is the problem of numbers, but I’m sure that Johnson can sort that out with his customary finesse, determination and attention to detail.
What a great idea!
NZ citizens don’t need a visa to enter Britain.
Even better.
I like your idea. It would certainly improve the possibilities of obtaining a decent England Rugby side…..
We have a decent team, it’s the manager that’s crap.
She would need to give them all a phone so she can track them all. They do throw them in the sea after all.
Just think of all the top-notch rugby players we’d gain.
The phrases ‘Boris Johnson’ and ‘Attention to Detail’ have been rigorously proven to be non-compatible.
1 million less foreigners than signed up with NHS since 2010
I saw those figures quoted earlier. Like a new city the size of Birmingham every two years. No wonder our entire infrastructure is creaking…
Remember who tends to sign up for a GP. Hint, not young men.
The 7 million would exclude them. The number in my opinion is closer to 15 million.
5 million actually.
Among the many great new friends my wife and I made as a result of dissenting from the covid lunacy were a couple who had been staying with their (adult) daughter (medically vulnerable and completely in thrall to the panic) and her husband in NZ as the hysteria ramped up.
As they explained, they reached a point where they weren’t allowed to do any public activity, and their daughter insisted on them staying in the house “for their own protection”.
At a certain point, they realised that there could easily come a time when they, as “unvaccinated”, would be put into camps, and their own daughter would be sending them there “for their own protection”. The husband said he was contemplating the question of why more jews didn’t leave Germany as the repression ramped up in the 1930s, and he came to the conclusion that they should get out. That’s how they ended up in England.
Fantastic educated, informed and intelligent professional couple. They’ve just gone back to Australia now, where they also have family. Not sure if they are planning on risking NZ any time soon…
But how much better Australia is compared to NZ?
Hard to judge from afar, but as far as I can tell from accounts here, I think the point about Australia is that it is at least divided federally, with different states differing in the degree to which they have descended into the authoritarian lunacy.
NZ just went headfirst down the pit.
Correct, the health care response to Covid is a state issue. NSW was the best, Victoria was the worst.
Good call. The one consolation for sane Australians was that life could have been worse: they could have been trapped in New Zealand.
Then Dan Andrews went mad in Victoria.
Yes. I have friends in Victoria (Melbourne). Fortunately, they bought the whole pandemic deal, so they feel only warmth for those who ‘protected’ them. (Fully jabbed and just over their latest batch of Wu-flu!)
What was stopping people in Victoria from removing Dan Andrews from power? Just grab him by the ears and haul him off.
Direct action saves hours of hand-wringing inertia!
My best mate has just embarked on a European tour before returning to Queensland where he’s lived for the last 30 years.
He said it wasn’t too bad there, just don’t cross the border between states, you’re likely to be stuck. He did it without realising, panicked and took to country roads to avoid any road blocks.
They were jabbing people like Zulu’s at Rorke’s Drift but other than that it seemed much like the UK without lockdowns.
After resisting for some time he eventually figured the situation could go on for years and at 65, even if he copped it, he was willing to take the risk to have one final hurrah before settling down to retired life as a beach bum.
I remember having a flash of the very same thought, here in England, around summer last year, when I really did think we might be heading in the same direction. We were edging closer and closer to camps for the unvaccinated, accompanied by incitement to hatred in the national newspapers. The only thing that stopped it was Omicron, the evident failure of the vaccines and perhaps partygate but I think we only narrowly dodged it. The trajectory at the time was in one direction.
I distinctly recall in December the PM mentioned we must begin to consider compulsory vaxxes.
Then the narrative abruptly changed.
So I agree, we came close. And I still don’t know why we stopped.
Yes i remember this very clearly too and i will never forgive the elites for suggesting this. I still believe this is on the back burner so to speak. They stopped before Christmas because of vast (yet media blacked out) demonstrations in London, brave push back in the NHS itself and around 100 mainly tory MP`s who still had an idea of the concept of liberty..
A mere bump in the road.
Lord Frost I think was a big part of it too.
Completely agree. The man is a legend. And finally there was a substantive rebellion:
‘….one leading and long-standing Covid rebel called this vote a shot across Downing Street’s bow – a warning of what might be to come if the government did opt for stricter restrictions in the coming weeks.’
BBC 15 Dec 21
Don’t forget Steve Baker. He fought hard over Brexit and organised backbenchers. Was vocal about covid but he figured it was someone else’s turn to step up.
Where is he now?
And when people sneer at not wanting to hand too many powers to the government because of some future fascistic regime, well these last two years I rest my case.
So what happened to him?
“i will never forgive the elites for suggesting this.”
There’s a good selection of “Never forget these people!” tweets here:
https://twitter.com/CharlotteEmmaUK
Brilliant. Gave me a laugh. Wealthy celebrities and politicians wheeled out to tell us all we have no choice in the matter, doubtless now scweaming about the Roe Vs Wade leak.
I followed the link but could only read it all if I logged into Twitter. When I did so, it told me my account is permanently suspended. Probably because I’ve never logged in since I set it up (who knows how long ago)
Hilarious!
Strange. I’m banned so kept getting the demand to retract my last comment (two or three years ago – not a chance) logged out refreshed the page, and followed the link again. Could see the whole thing.
Is there a vaccine to stop Amber Heard from pooping on your side of the bed?
“Adult Human Female. Let’s Go Brandon. Awake not woke. Pronouns: Fuck/Off. “
I like her. Girl after my own heart.
I can’t think of any one of these evil b*ggers who could be described as ”ELITE”.
Plus about ten Labour (the old left, who hate Starmer).
Poll’s and back bench revolt. Simple as that.
There have been lots of complicating factors, including electoral cycles. The current levels of relaxation in Australia are not un-related to the forthcoming federal election (May 21).
The problem is that once it’s over, we head into winter and what is usually a flu season. As an unvaxxed, I am now permitted to leave Australia and (theoretically) permitted to return. There is also a distinct possibility that permission might be withdrawn at any time in the next few months.
We are all vulnerable, until the sham is exposed,
That’s the sad truth. My daughter was supposed to go skiing in the French Alps a couple of months ago with her B/F’s family. She refused to go because she’s unvaxxed and din’t know if she would get back.
I told her I’d buy a RIB and meet her on a French beach……..
Don’t forget this NHS ad to coerce people into taking the ‘Covid vaccines’.

Oh well, nothing to see here. We cool now Boris!
He tried too early – he is now using the Gates/WHO to do the dirty work for him – he will be signing up to their Power Grab and is still on track!
“I think we only narrowly dodged it. The trajectory at the time was in one direction.”
I agree, it felt like it was pretty close.
The flip-side, which I have been surprised by, is that when I met people from other countries they often said how free they felt in England compared with their home countries.
A Ukrainian lady told me that England was the only place in the world that she was aware of where you could effectively self-certify as exempt from mask wearing.
So perhaps it felt appalling here because we’re used to a lighter touch, but we actually had it fairly good compared to most places.
I made this point in the dim and distant past. We actually didn’t too too badly. We had our moments when people were arrested for drinking coffee on a walk in the park, but it was all pretty much theatre. I went everywhere without a mask and only had to tell a few security guys at Lidl or Sainsbury’s that I was exempt, which they accepted without question. I spent the best part of 6 months in hospital and was only subjected to two PCR test’s and only because they wouldn’t conduct my surgery without them. The rest I told them to stick, and they were well warned not to even think about ‘vaccinating’ me when I was anaesthetised or I would sue them to Hades and back. Other than that we didn’t have people quarantined en mass, or cops in HazMat suits chasing people with cattle prods. Mandatory vaccinations were never going to happen, they would have to lock up millions of people, or concoct an elaborate fines system through employers or something which would have taken 6 months to even implement. There was much more resistance to vaccinations that they expected and then the news began dropping about… Read more »
All very valid observations. It is tempting to focus on the clowns arresting joggers for buying coffee. But they were rare events. I’m sure there was a great deal of common sense at play.
I also think we need to remember politicians making announcements is one thing, but implementing them is another. This isn’t China.
The vax passes for nightclubs in Scotland was a case in point. By all accounts few bothered to check them. One nightclub put a single chair on the dancefloor and declared themselves a pub, and therefore exempt.
Agreed. But they were numerous enough to remind us that the police include a number of folk who should never be allowed any form of power over the public. Like the Midlands WPC (can I still type that?) who told a bloke he couldn’t play in his garden with his child because ‘you’re killing people!’
Agreed. Peaked cap syndrome it is called. Give someone with that mentality even a modicum of power and it goes to their heads.
It’s worth noting the police have no ‘power’. The only authority the ability to suspend another’s liberty (arrest) under strictly defined conditions. They are civilians in uniform. They shouldn’t forget that and nor should we.
She would have left my house very wet indeed, losing control of my hose, as one does from time to time!
The clowns arresting joggers might have been few in number, but their action had a very chilling effect on the rest of the population. That it happened at all was and still is an absolute disgrace. The cops should have been kneeling down in apology to the general population, not the rioting, Marxist, racist BLM.
That was the theatrical part. It was deliberate and malicious.
“but it was all pretty much theatre.”
And there was me thinking that people had received huge fines, lost their businesses, and committed suicide over the lockdowns.
All just ‘theatre’.
“Mandatory vaccinations were never going to happen”
So why did care home workers and NHS workers (allegedly) leave in droves? if only they had had your foresight…
“Here’s a hint. That’s what we employ governments to do.”
Next you’ll be saying “They work for us!”…. the fact is, the Government exists, and they tell you what you may or may not do.
The theatre was that lockdown or face masks worked, combined with the weekly pot-banging in support of the NHS while people were left to die at home. Not the results of those measures. They’re anything but theatre.BUS
The mandatory vaccines refers to the general population, not specific sectors, e.g. care home staff. The mandate was illegal inasmuch as the vaccines were/are experimental, and were under emergency approval, but try telling the government or the justice system that.
“Its what we employ the government to do”
In theory only. In practice, they don’t give a rat’s about us.
Anyone who fondly believes that Government does not have absolute tyrannical power over even the details of our daily lives ought to revisit the last two nightmare years.
It is amazing what a permanent “State of Emergency” can do for you – as Hitler discovered with his ‘Enabling Act’ (1934-1945)
that people had received huge fines…… That some people had received huge fines, most of them I believe, never enforced or dropped in court. And this is going to sound cruel, but many people who lost their business didn’t have a good business in the first place. It’s also cruel to say, but people who commit suicide have alternatives. It’s their decision. I agree with you on both counts but it can never be proven that covid caused either. In both cases, businesses fail and people commit suicide without covid. It’s a bit like, did vaccinations stop people getting as ill when they caught covid? We’ll never know. So why did care home workers and NHS workers (allegedly) leave in droves? if only they had had your foresight… I was discussing mandatory vaccinations on a national scale. Much like Scotland was used as the experiment for the Poll Tax, Care home workers were used as a bellwether to judge the reaction of the public to mandatory vaccinations. Surely you realise this by now? Whether you like it or not, and whether “They work for us!” or not, anticipating the future IS what governments do. And as you missed my point… Read more »
Many parts of Africa don’t have the mandates because restrictions would just cause unrest. Only these rich countries that can print money seem to get away with flirting with fascism.
I remember feeling the same at around that time. The provisions were there in the Covid Act.
We did dodge it then, likely for the reasons you outline.
My concern is that we still haven’t had “the conversation” the PM wanted to have about compulsory vaccinations. I see it as a continued threat that we could still end up in camps if they try this again or bring in Vax based ID.
It’s all still lurking there, waiting, not even particularly in the background. There’s been no proper accounting, no proper shaming, no proper “never again”.
When was the last time that ever happened in British politics?
Did we not have some government apologising, fairly recently, and some shaming for the people injured by contaminated blood? and was there not a government apology for the events of Bloody Sunday (mind you it did take many decades and a very expensive inquiry out of which a select few lawyers did very nicely thank you very much in order to get that extracted)
It takes at least 20 years and a complete change of government.
British government?
What LMS2 said below.
There’s no justice in, for example, Boris apologising for Britain invading Iraq on false pretences, because Blair will certainly never pay for it.
It was never an option, even less so in the future. There are far too many people with ‘Vax Regret’ now. Others just feel mugged off.
I suspect the resistance to any of this being imposed on us again would be up to 50% instead of the current 20% or so.
Boris is still on trial over it all and that will sober up any politician who decides to try it again if he loses his job.
There is the real threat that if the UK signs us up to this WHO proposal, that the WHO sets the policy for handling future epidemics, we could have mandatory experimental vaccines imposed upon us by the WHO, with compulsory lockdowns, vaccine passports, or any other measures they choose.
It’ all bollox and yet another means of distraction. More than half the world’s population won’t condemn Russia for their invasion of Ukraine. There is just no way these countries will agree to the WHO now telling them what to do, and most certainly not China and Russia.
India has a court case waiting for Bill Gates for murdering schoolgirls with his vaccines. There is also absolutely no possibility they will allow the WHO to dictate to them when Gates is their biggest donor after America.
The American constitution also explicitly supports the concept of bodily autonomy, which is why there is the ongoing debate over abortion.
Someone is pulling strings somewhere as everything to do with geopolitics right now is clearly designed to to cause mayhem.
There are a number of very wealthy and influential people on this planet who need to be hunted down and made to answer for crimes we don’t even know they’r committing.
Glad I saw this post – wish I had seen it last night – might not have lost so much sleep.
Forgot about India!!!!
I think Steve James, the vaccine refusenik doctor, and the success of GB News both played a big part, not to mention this site and its stellar cast, both above and below the line.
All of the above give yourselves a big pat on the back!
Don’t kid yourself. It was down to Boris’ polling numbers and the backbench revolt that put the brakes on in the UK.
If blogs mattered, WUWT would have stopped the climate change nonsense in its tracks years ago.
GB News was a complete shambles and, with the notable exception of Neil Oliver (who delivers a great monologue but is a lousy interviewer) still is.
As a matter of disclosure, I was fully convinced that the wee hairy fella was bound to be a raging lefty, but much to my surprise and delight he turned out to be right wing.
It must have had the his woke, lefty, ‘A History of Scotland’, ‘Vikings’, and ‘Coast’ (great programs) adherents spitting feathers as I’m sure they fell for his appearance, as I did.
When I found out I nearly fell off the couch laughing.
Yeah I’d always taken him for a Leftie Lovie too – delighted to be proved wrong.
Whatever his politics might be he just comes across as thoroughly decent and with a lot of integrity, not to mention intelligence – maybe those 3 qualities stand out so much in his case because they seem to be in such short supply in the bulk of the rest of the public sphere, politics and media alike.
Him and Mark Steyn I’d say. He’s been covering the vaccine damages Bill (that is being ignored) these last few days. Ofcom are investigating apparently.
I’m happy to accept that of anyone irrespective of their politics. But as far as I’m concerned, I can’t find a left winger these days who isn’t a raging nutter. You can’t have a conversation with these people over a pint without them going off on one.
It was never like that in the past in my experience. I used to have great, long discussions with lefties. No longer possible.
I was on the receiving end at times of some of that incitement to hatred generated by the papers. It wasn’t pleasant.
At times I still cannot even now fathom how people I formerly considered to be intelligent could so lose the run of themselves and blindly and unquestioningly follow what was being force fed to their brains on a daily basis.
See attached.
That’s what a mate said in a TXT the other day, I said yeah but in the old days the King didn’t have access to tracking technology like today.
Bloodhounds…….
🤣
The ”’incitement’ is still going on. Look at Andrew Neil (I know, it’s not a easy thing to do) – and some ignorant biddy on the radio – both of whom believe the unjabbed should be ”punished” because, these ill-informed dimwits say, they’re a danger to others.
Neil has lost his mind.
Gove, along with all the others, shall never be forgiven for this. Within a matter of months he went from masks should be a courtesy to visiting Israel to examine the vaccine pass. It’s mainly thanks to Javid’s arrogance and the good doctor that told him some facts that the trajectory turned in U.K., coupled with the realisation that it was all hype when the Johnson cabal were rumbled for being non believers themselves with Hancock and their partying,
Also sounds like what happened to the German disabled. Sent there by family.
Yep. The worst tyrannies are often justified as ostensbly “for your own good”.
I think you misspelled English dementia sufferers. The official story regarding Aktion T4 etc is that relatives and even doctors made a some times heroic effort to either hide patients in safety or get them out of hospitals before being killed. And then, the sensational bits of this are more than a bit off: People permanently hospitalized with crippling, incurable diseases could be killed (officially as an act of mercy) provided an independent gremium of medical experts came to the conclusion (majority vote) that there was no chance of them ever recovering. That’s something the NHS routinely does when deciding to withdraw (or never provide) life-prolonging medical treatment on the grounds that it wouldn’t be a cost-effective use of limited resources. Eg (as I already wrote last time) the case of a teenage boy with dysfunctional kidneys which had been kept alive by dialysis since birth. At some point in time, the NHS decided that it wouldn’t provide this treatment anymore but instead told the mother that she’d get some pills she could then use to put the boy to death in a humane way at home. I encountered that as a Berkshire Live (online only local news service) fundraiser… Read more »
And what is to stop some government, with a big majority, in the very near future even legislating to add to a list of conditions where it is deemed pointless continuing to offer treatment and so treatment is denied. What is to stop them, if they have not already done so, from legislating to deny medical treatment to the unjabbed?
If I remember rightly that was being discussed on news programmes not that long ago in the context of refusing care for people who were unjabbed and then hospitalised with covid. What is to stop that being extended to general care?
These are the unpleasant territories we are headed towards if there isn’t some real holding to account ever done.
And at the same time denied effective treatments that don’t profit Big Pharma.
I am surprised they went to Australia. It’s the last place to go right now. It is the testing ground for the NWO and roll out of smart cities and it is across all States now. It would have been better to wait and see what happens in the future. I say this as someone with an Australian passport who could get in there tomorrow regardless of a vaccine.
Let’s not pretend New Zealanders are victims in all this. As with every other country, the majority of the public were active participants and complicit in their own oppression. So I don’t have much sympathy for them.
My heart goes out, however, to the very small minority who resisted this tyranny and did their best to push back against it.
And didn’t they vote in that clown by a landslide?
In the 2020 election yes. In the previous (2017) election her party came second but she formed a coalition.
She has until 13 January 2024 at the latest to recover from the damage she’s done to NZ. Twenty months to restore the country to a semblance of prosperity, much of it to be gobbled up with the global effect Ukraine is having.
It looks like she’s another tyrant whose going to get spanked next time round.
She’s an approved stooge,of course she is going to ‘win’ again.
Yep – look at how Macron got back in.
They will doctor the ballots or do something shady if they have to.
It’s now fashionable to call elections ‘fixed’.
Perhaps just accurate?
tomayto tomato
potayto potato
I’m going with doctored – the ballot papers were tampered with rendering a Le pen vote spoiled – that’s doctoring in my book!
Spoke to a French voter on Sunday -he believes the Le Pen vote was doctored to avoid a problematic ‘neck and neck’ finish.
But why didn’t she contest it?
good point
There is that.
Do you really believe that ”voting” will mean anything or make any difference whatsoever? And do you really think that she (or her handlers) are concerned about restoring the country to prosperity? She knows she’s fireproof. What if all this destruction is actually planned and no seemingly foolish move is a ‘mistake’?
Is there evidence she rigged the last election?
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” (Hanlon’s Razor.)
Uncle Klaus will save her!
Yes they were. Sucked in by Jacindamania and her “I kept you safe” mantra. Measured solely in covid deaths with little thought given to the collateral damage. It’s been exhausting trying to fight against it all, but we keep trying. Keep us in your hearts as we battle our way through.
California, Canada, New Zealand – people are leaving because of how they are being treated. Those left have had their immune systems compromised. That will make those places less populated.
Ring any bells with anyone?
The Unvaxxed can’t leave Canada. They’ll have to escape through the mountains like the von Trapps
It really is “The Handmaid’s Tale” in real life isn’t it?
Wasn’t that always intended as a Blue Print?
A LOT of what appeared in the TV series [and some from the book] has happened IRL over the last 2 years.
I’m not sure that was Attwood’s intention.
All part of the destruction of the Anglosphere, the culture with the longest traditions of freedom. All the freedom is based on the unusual preoccupation with individual liberty.
Magna Carta, we should remember, was important because it expressed liberty in terms of restrictions on government, not a list of rules people had to follow. An important initiative we are being encouraged to ignore.
New Zealanders are one of the inheritors of this important concept. All the more reason they must be brought low, abused and ultimately eradicated. Displacement will do at a push if needed. But destruction is better.
If you aspire to some massive central government concept, including world government, it simply won’t do to have people reminding you we solved these problems 800 years ago. The memory of that must be destroyed. If this is not possible, as we see in the US, they attempt to discredit the concept e.g. the world has changed since Jefferson was calling the shots. This of course is the point; what is Ardern if not a poor man’s King John?
Yes and who would want the destruction of the ‘Anglosphere’? Likely suspects: The UN – now run by Marxists who hate the West and Europe. Spanish South America, Mexico revenge (for the Alamo!) the loss of Florida, Arizona, New Mexico and California…. the entire Far East and China – revenge for Imperialism and humiliating colonialism , Iran “Death to America’ 40 years of chanting, Islam as a whole, revenge for the Crusades and for creating Israel , ex-Colonial Africa – revenge for slavery, non-Anglo Saxon Americans themselves – revenge for the Brtish Empire, ‘White Privilege’. Add Crazed Globalist Marxists – just for the sheer pleasure of destroying western capitalism and imposing their totalitarian misery…. and then the Globalist Banker Capitalists themselves – because the model no longer works for them because their criminal greed broke it and who now seek an ‘accommodation’ with the New World Order in Beijing. Not Russia – the Russians no doubt a surprise to many- do not really have a dog in this fight, just a choice to turn East, if that is where the West’s cracked international politics determines their national self-interest and future survival lie. But the principal destroyers are within – the… Read more »
The Totalitarianism in the UK was bad, especially in Scotland, but nothing compared to the literal nightmare experienced by New Zealand and Australia. We were planning to visit, I cannot see that happening. Even if we could get there, the memory of that appalling police state would persist and ruin the visit.
Scotland could only go so far because of England. With independence Scotland would still be in lockdown and many would be in jail because of their obvious transphobia.
Well, you do wonder how long lockdown would last with Nicola Ceausescu in charge and it certainly isn’t independence when you can’t do anything without the permission of Nanny.
Sturgeon doesn’t care what happens to Scotland as long as she is in charge. Pol Pot didn’t care what happened to Cambodia. Same midwit mentality at play.
That’s why she welcomes “New Scots”, most of whom are eligible to vote in Scotland but not the rest of the UK.
I would go along with that, nannying is an end in itself to her.
Hasn’t she referred to herself as “Big Mammy”, or have I imagined that in a nightmare?
Christ on a bike. Really?!
What did eventually happen to Pol Pot again?
What do you mean? Scotland has a long history of men in skirts. I would have thought it v trans welcoming.
Well those are made from jaggy wool. And they tend to avoid the stockings and heels.
😉
But what about that furry thing between their legs?
That’s a matter of individual choice.
Whilst England has a long history of men with bells on their ankles dancing and bashing sticks together before poncing around a maypole and flourishing ribbons.

Stones and glass houses come to mind.
The Scots, like all Celtic nations, crave servitude. To England, the Church or Little Jimmie Crankie, only the Big Boss changes, not the need to play the victim and romanticise it.
That would explain why the “nationalists” mostly don’t want independence, they want to switch foreign overlords, from London to Brussels.
That’ll be why the country was the centre of the Enlightenment, is it?

The English laugh and sneer at their folk -costumes ( whether original or re-invented) – other nations respect and treasure them.
Says a lot.
I can’t speak for New Zealand, but policing has varied in Australia: from savage in Victoria to mild in Western Australia (where horrendous mandates were enforced by employers).
We have no idea yet what damage has been done in Australia, to Australians. There is a significant section of the population which is seriously alienated: from their governments and their fellow-citizens.
It is the freethinkers who solve all the problems. Every culture has its Barons, just as they all have King Johns. Someone has to hold the crossbow to his head and a bit of alienation helps to remind the Baron types no one is coming to your rescue.
Many scientific discoveries have emerged from derision.
The alienation from governments is a product of two years’ experience that has been enlightening, to put it mildly. I think that’s healthy.
The anger within families and the ending of friendships have been disturbing; but I understand from this site and others that this is widespread everywhere.
I also think that it was a deliberate ploy – classic divide and conquer move.
Seems that there is no country in the world which has been able to stave off either Covid hysteria or Russophobic hysteria or both.
And that includes Russia. Alpha male military intervention while still curled into fetal position over nanoparticles.
Alpha Male Military at the ready!
Oh no, they’ve all gone home….
Army Recruitment policy is now to seek more women for an ever smaller more gender- balanced “Army”.
Will they be sent to face the Russians’ Islamist Chechen Units I wonder?
Of course – it’s equality! And they’d better not complain or they’ll find themselves in jail for ……?
Belarus or Nicaragua maybe.
Florida?
A cost of living crisis results from two years of restricting supply by lockdown while simultaneously inflating demand through vast government spending.
Don’t worry, PM promises in Queen’s speech he is going to do everything he can to fix the broken economy.
My immediate response when I saw the headline was “for whom? for the ordinary man in the street, or for your already well off mates to make them even wealthier?”
I’m sure you know the answer to that question…
He promises to do more of what caused the crisis in the first place and pretend it’s the solution, the great fat communist fraud.
Removing himself from office would be a good start.
However, as we have all learned to our cost that “the Truth “is always the diametrical opposite of whatever he says about anything, that means that he intends to do nothing at all.
In fact as we know ‘inflation’ is all part of the “plan”.
I know DB, I was being tongue in cheek with my post.
Very basic “S & D” economics – buy beyond all the Sold Out On Message Journalists to work out!

2020 / 2022 – For the past two years, the world population has been under the spell of the coronavirus. Emergency regimes have been established, civil liberties have been dismantled, surveillance programs were being installed and an unprecedented global vaccination program has been rolled out.
Are we doing the right thing, or did we make a deal with the devil in exchange for a benefit? Through critical voices from various areas of expertise, PANDAMNED attempted for the first time to paint the whole picture and shed light on the darkness. It has become a relentless stocktaking of our time, which global organizations, governments and big tech companies would have preferred to prevent.
Documentary maker Marijn Poels takes the viewer on an enlightening journey through the emerging absurd world of the “New Normal” and how we can still prevent it.

In the US there is a similar trend, as hundreds of thousands of Americans leave California and New York for Texas and Florida.
People want to live as human beings.
A promising sign.
Except that many of those people vote Democrat again or support Republican in Name Only neo- and pseudo-conservatives in their new homes, and the whole cycle starts again…
Hence the wisdom of a constitution. A list of things government cannot touch no matter how weak the people are.
The Constitution can, and has been, changed. It was written to be flexible.
The ‘Bill of Rights’ were the first ten ‘amendments’ to the constitution, derived from the Magna Carter (ouch, I wonder how many Americans know that?).
I’m not sure of the numbers here but there have been about 23 (and I don’t know if that includes the BoR, with about 17 ratified.
Amendments, so called because the Constitution was amended.
Biden isn’t wrong when he says the constitution isn’t set in stone.
That’s my understanding, I’m far from informed on the matter.
Cant vouch for their current education system but Americans (generally) were far more knowledgeable on all things Magna Carta than pretty much any Brit,
I can’t argue with that as I’d be doing so from a position of ignorance of the matter.
The only monument to Magna Carta was erected in Runnymede by the American Bar Association. They view it as one of the most important events in human history.
It wasn’t written to be flexible, but can be added to. And the ten amendments were based on the English Bill of Rights from 1689.
A constitution is set in stone in that it codifies universal birthrights no one can infringe, like the right to freedom of expression or the right to bear arms etc. The notion being those who wish to diminish its importance wish to infringe upon your universal rights and hence must be stopped. Naturally if they wish to do so they’ll be circumspect and try to persuade you those birthrights aren’t really rights because we must move with the times.
The Founding Fathers intended the document to be flexible in order to fit the changing needs and circumstances of the country.
In the words of Virginia delegate Edmund Randolph, one of the five men tasked with drafting the Constitution, the goal was to “insert essential principles only, lest the operations of government should be clogged by rendering those provisions permanent and unalterable, which ought to be accommodated to times and events.”
My understanding is those unalienable rights are the Bill of Rights, which were the first ten amendments made to the Constitution, which is what I posted earlier.
Which get’s us nicely to the question of abortion. It’s not mentioned specifically in the Constitution either to allow or disallow it, so it’s a candidate for inclusion.
Biden might be correct in that it’s not set in stone, but the Federal government cannot unilaterally change it, or simply ignore the parts of the Constitution they don’t like, eg, 1st and 2nd Amendments
Entirely agree. But whilst the Constitution enshrines the right to bear arms, it says nothing about ammunition.
Biden could ban all ammunition and not violate the Constitution.
The Constitution appears to have been simply bi-passed by the now permanent ‘Emergency Powers Act”.
That’s the theory, but I suspect its more likely Republicans are fleeing California to red states rather than Democrats.
Musk has moved Tesla to Texas.
And ex-Democrats.
Indeed. If they are fleeing California for a red state, it’s for a reason, likely to do with crime, vagrancy, taxes, energy policy, rents, woke etc. I suspect many would realise much of their grief was caused by Democrat policies and not want to repeat the same mistake.
I mean, who want’s to go into Texas and announce yourself as a Democrat voter. Unless they all head for Austin which is notoriously blue.
Not so sure about that. It’s the Republicans who are leaving California, who’ve had enough of the tyrannical, useless Democrat governors. My cousin is one such. She and her mum are actively planning to move to Tennessee. They absolutely won’t be voting Democrat. If they’ve got any sense, her brothers should do the same.
Send your cousin my regards, and ask her if she can get me a MAGA hat. 😃
Where do we go ? Cornwall? I don’t think so.
Thank God for the American red states – the rural areas and small towns.
It seems to me that the American system with its devolved federal structure, and in many places a still strong grassroots culture of freedom of the individual, has come out of this better than almost anywhere else. American courts have also been more ready to stand up for liberty than the judiciary anywhere else.

Those states could end up being the bulwark against a lot of this for everybody!
If their governors hold out and dig their heels in then Biden cannot deliver the USA to the WEF as a single entity.
From that GB News piece: “(Act Party leader David Seymour) said: ‘Don’t believe the hype. Anyone can quarantine a remote island, the hard part was always going to be reconnecting and getting our way of life back.'”“Mr Seymour says the country is going in the wrong direction, and Kiwis are desperate to properly reconnect with the world.”“‘What is different here is the despair that comes from being lectured to and restricted while the rest of the world moves on.'” What exactly doesn’t he like about what his political opponents, including Jacinda Ardern who holds the office that he himself would like to hold, are actually doing right now? There’s probably a good answer to that question, but I didn’t learn what it is from the GB News article. The refusal to let some NZ citizens enter NZ (and similarly in Australia) was a disgrace and in clear violation of international law – specifically the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If you are a NZ citizen you have a right to reside in NZ any time you want to. The government refused to recognise that right. You have to wonder what the next step on from that is. It can… Read more »
Once you lose the ability to restrain the state how can you expect to have rights (restraints on the state)?

Move from NZ to UK?
Really? It’s just a different shade of brown.
I think these people forget, women are far more compassionate and more freedom-living than men. They create less hostility and nurture a more inclusive and caring society. Anybody that thinks otherwise has not been taking their daily BBC/Guardian medicine.
See Camille Paglia for more on what women bring to civilization 😉
“The people are sick and tired of the controlling narrative along with the fear campaign that has engulfed the media and government messaging for the past two years.”
What’s the point in coming to the UK then? We might not have been as extreme as NZ but a similar attitude still prevails.
We are the mother country.
Here in NZ, as a result of “kicking the can down the road” we are just now (predictably) at the stage which many other countries were at some 12 – 16 months ago. I am hopeful that we will also move on from this, as has started to happen elsewhere.
Not sure how much we’ve ‘moved on’… Just been on the Dartmouth ferry, no cash accepted ‘since covid’.
Anyone coming to the Dartmouth area on holiday the Dartmouth ferries are very expensive £11.50 return and they refuse to accept legal tender. You dont have to use the ferry you can drive round via Totnes.
Has the right to pay in legal tender ever been tested in court?
I’m going the other way and paying for everything under £20 in cash. I’ll probably increase it to £30.
My understanding only retail outlets have to accept cash. A ferry would be regarded as a service. I am trying to use cash more than card.
Yep – use it or lose it. If people are using it then they can’t get rid of it.
What an absolute fraud they perpetrated on the population by having them believe that they could catch covid from handling money – like cash is contaminated.
You can catch STDs from sitting on toilet seats, so why can’t you catch Covid from cash?
No.
Only bishops can contract such an illness from toilet seats.
Like it’s hanging around in the till waiting to pounce when it’s not hanging about in the air like a cloud at about head height – you mean that sort of thing?
Thanks for explaining it – I couldn’t have managed it so politely!
Exactly. We’ll need to add that to the charge sheet.
All London concert venues I’ve been in since this is allowed again were cashless (Electowerkz, Roundhouse, Black Heart, Underworld).
Same effect in Australia, where over 30,000 people have left Victoriastan and moved to other states (or overseas).
Every time I see a pic of Ardern, I think that, while she might have banned ivermectin for other Kiwis, she’s been using the veterinary version herself.
😂😂😂
Let’s deworm that horse! 🙂
HeeHaw, HeeHaw, HeeHalways says that……
La Compassionara really cares. How could these people possibly want to leave?
…
🤣
Well this is the country that put declared a man that had been gunned down and murdered as a covid death. Even when they had suspects in custody. Surely this is in the running for the global peak instance of covid insane dogma.

Entrance essay for Toby Young’s Non-PC ‘University for the New Non-woke Century’:
‘The quickest way to induce a brain drain is to impose an obsessive-compulsive-disorder control freak as Prime Minister’. Discuss.
What’s to discuss?
Shame the disillusionment didn’t happen a lot sooner, ie, before she was elected/re-elected. The writing was well and truly on the wall back in 2018 when she banned conservative speakers from the country.
“Evil, or stupid? Are the people who rule over us actually sinister, or are they mere bumblers who suffer the consequences of hubris? This doesn’t have to be either-or, of course; it can be both-and. These days, I think this issue is what divides blue-pilled from red-pilled libertarians. The blue-pilled think we’re dealing with mostly well-intentioned people who share our goals but are just using the wrong (coercive, state-led) approaches to get there. If I ever believed that, I certainly can’t now. They are at war with us. Every last thing the Establishment advocates makes our lives worse: lockdowns, pointless war, the destructive Federal Reserve, quasi-socialism, campaigns against eating eggs or meat — the list goes on endlessly. If they were just stupid, then once in a blue moon they’d advocate the right thing if only by accident. They’d stumble into it. That never happens. It’s possible that some of the rank and file are simply not that bright, and think the elites’ policies will help them. But the people running the show? No way can they be so innocent. So what do you do in a world run by psychos who hate you? “ (Tom Woods) Toby Young should… Read more »
They did stumble on Brexit.
Great post. Nothing these people do is about inspiring or nourishing our lives. It is all deadened policies from deadened human beings. They are evil and stupid. Politicians like Ardern, Macron, Trudeau, Johnson etc etc are all bought and paid for. They are little people with mean little minds but can get people to vote for them due to their training at WEF. People are such suckers for people who can say the right words and look good on camera. In my view, we have to arrest these people for crimes against humanity, for treason and for planning genocide. Somehow, we have got find judges and police who are on OUR side and issue the arrest warrants. We have a whole stack of evidence against them. They are going to jail for a very long time.
Not so clever now…
”Losing her grip”? Not at all – none of this has been accidental or unforeseen. Why do writers keep giving these evil b*ggers the get-out clause of incompetence?
Vote for teeth. Get bitten. Unbelievable people voted for that joke. Shame on you Kiwi’s.
It is quite simply a case of the people saying they’ve had enough of the bs and bring this to an end, relegating these corrupt WEF puppets to the scrap heap.
