What? John Key is lecturing Facebook on paying tax?

This is the same Key who helped build tax havens in NZ and denied this was a problem?

This is the same John Key who originally said that Facebook wasn’t an issue?

Let’s remember we only have the PMs word that this is actually what he said to Zuckerberg, so there’s no independent verification but it sounds more like the PM want’s to be seen to be doing something about the negative forces of neoliberal capitalism in the wake of Trump’s win than actually do anything real.

  1. Key = a Donald Trump copy artist here.

    Gezz it must be coming close to election year Martyn so get TDB ready for the political madness season early mate!!!

  2. Surely, no one believes anything that comes out of the gob of that lying sociopath who thinks he represents Kiwis.

    • Would it were so – he still has his following. If rejecting ‘establishment’ is so en vogue now, surely he is the most established? Let’s step him down.

  3. jonky gets hissy and pithy with a child billionare to seem the hero while I walk past homeless people, have been to a couple of suicide-funerals, listen to teachers lament that kids come to school hungry and there are 10,000 people in prison and when they try to work to gather together a little money to help them re adjust to outside life they get paid .60 cents an hour. Bear in mind what neoliberalism has done to them which made them criminals to begin with.
    Little jonky standing up to a rich kid. How would he go in an ally surrounded by the hungry and the homeless?
    We waste too much time discussing him. We just need to get rid of him.

      • ” Yes, get rid of him but how? ”

        That’s a very interesting question.
        It’s the very question that we should be asking, deliberating upon and, once having made a decision, begin planning to execute. ( Execute ! ? Hmmmm ? No, wait? So last century. There are better ways. )
        I’d suggest numbers. Large numbers and bring in the police, military and sundry other emergency services. They know, they know just how destructive jonky is . They deal with the damage at the coal face. ( Unfortunate metaphor in these Global Warming times, I admit. )
        I like the figure 10,000. Ten thousand people arrive in Wellington, we walk up the steps of OUR parliament building and say, with vigour, ” You, fucking jonky, are out of a job mate ! And now, hop into this prison cell while we conduct an audit into your $50 to $200 million. ”
        Jonky’d come out, get in a police car, he’d wave and sneer. Job done.
        Then what, you ask? Well, anything actually. Got a pet chicken? Call it Picky-Scratchy and make it Prime Minister. Anything. Anyone. I don’t fucking care. So long as there’s movement.

        On a serious note. There must be a clear intent to remove jonky and that’s what needs to be debated.
        Not what he’s done, what he’s tugged, what lies he’s told.
        We know this.
        He must go, and how must that be done?
        I’m going to pop down to @ HELENA now and see what he/she has to offer. Yay!

    • Yeah, it’s far more likely he gave him a high-five and they subsequently exchanged stories of fine wines, dining, cars, hotels, hookers and other displays of elite largess.

  5. First and foremost Keys word is worth bugger all.

    I never listen when he speaks because i never know what i am hearing is the truth…thats bloody sad when i cant trust the PM of my country.

    This is all about heading off criticism for next years campaign.

    Its not whats said…. but what they actually do that counts.

    Looks like more Keycraparama to me.

    • Key has reported stating he told Zuckerberg off. Put this picture tells us something entirely differently. Everyone should have learnt by now that just because Key says something doesn’t make it true or even real. As others have said previously, “Key just makes shit up” Other than Key fronting the N.Z. media, who overheard the conversation Key had with Zuckerberg? He may have even told him that Max and Mark would make good friends. I’ll say it again, Key is so lightweight, globally.

    • 1000% MOSA.

      You short note said it all let the opposition post it up on every signpost along the roads during the next election please opposition.

      “THATS BLOODY SAD WHEN I CANT TRUST THE PM OF MY COUNTRY”

  7. Key’s lies and spin makes bishop Tamaki look like a saint, maybe its lies and crap from the PM that brings earthquakes to our shores…as you said who knows what he said to Mark Zuckerbery…maybe he was just telling him how Max loves cross dressing and is on FB all the time.

  8. “Mark? Can you help a brother out? The fuck’n NZD tanked by 7 cents once Trump was confirmed. I want out of NZ cause its fucked!” says PinoKeyo. “If you want. I can try and rig the next election for yah by spinning bullshit on facebook?” “Nah, this is the kind of the election you don’t want to win. The cupboards are empty!”

  9. The PM is nothing but big noter, always has been and will be, loves nothing better than to be swimming in the pond as a tiddler with the boy boys. Nothing surprising here to be seen with the wonder boy – as for ticking him off – never in a month of Sundays, more like he was peeing in his pocket.
