  1. Where to Feminism ? …Is it time that the so-called morally and politically correct Left got honest and took a good hard look at itself?

    Hillary Clinton a so-called feminist ( some say a corrupt war criminal) attacked Libya but what has it done for Feminism?…Women’s rights and human rights in Libya are a disaster…and Libya’s gold reserves stolen

    ( https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/ )

    …and morally upright Leftist Corbyn has not supported a feminist MP who stood up for young British women being raped and sexually abused…

    ‘Arab Spring turned dictatorships into failed states, not democracies – Muslim feminist leader’

    “Years ago, before the wave of Arab Spring revolutions hit the Middle East, there was much hope for women’s emancipation in Islam. But after years of war and conflict, the radical, puritanical views on Islam have prevailed. Outdated family values guide the lives of millions of women. And while in the West, the voice of the feminist movement is growing louder today, the struggle for women’s rights in the Arab world is barely heard of. Is gender equality even possible in Islam? Will centuries-old traditions ever change? We ask the co-founder of the Libyan Women’s Platform for Peace, who fought for Muslim women’s rights after the Libyan revolution – Zahra’ Langhi is on SophieCo.”

    ‘Was Labour right to ‘sack’ Sarah Champion for saying Pakistani men ‘rape, exploit white girls’?’

    • Over at the standard. An author was kindly asked to quite ripping commisioned articles. I mean nothing else but to illustrate the immediate reaction of a SJW and a male.

      If you can’t learn to share then people like that aren’t worth listening too.

  2. I watched Labour’s television campaign announcement live feed on stuffy.co.nz this morning.
    Jacinda’s smart witty responses to Gower’s daft questions made him look like a schoolboy amateur.
    This lady has got class!

  3. Federated Farmers policy on global warming is that it is only the second biggest contributor (after CO2) that we should ignore it.

    “Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should understand that not all greenhouse gases are created equal. Carbon dioxide is the dominant greenhouse gas from human activity, and is persistent in the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce emissions should continue to focus on reducing carbon dioxide over methane and nitrous oxide.”

    However, “Methane contributes to ozone depletion, plus acts as a greenhouse gas. It lasts about 10 years in the atmosphere before being converted mainly to carbon dioxide and water. The global warming potential of methane is rated at 72 over a 20 year time frame. It does not last as long as carbon dioxide, but has a greater impact while its active. The methane cycle is not completely understood, but the concentration of methane in the atmosphere appears to have increased 150% since 1750.”

  4. Federated Farmers asking for financial contributions to fight the “water tax.”

    I wonder if they will start running attack adverts which are now allowed in New Zealand. While there are limits to how much political parties can spend on election campaigns, their supporters can spend as much as they like.
