What?
Stones in rivers?
Is he telling us to block waterways?
Why are we blocking waterways?
Do dams stop the spread of the virus?
Is he secretly a beaver?
Why is he working so hard to make us forget he said this?
Nigel shouldn’t feel too bad, Dr Lance O’Sullivan, Professor Siouxsie Wiles and many, many, many of the NZ Twitter woke were all downplaying the danger in the early days of this pandemic, but watching the incredible back peddle by so many as the enormity of this challenge erupts is pretty funny.
TDB was making the the call at the start that this had all the ingredients of a full blown pandemic and could be a black swan event. We argued that China’s severe actions spoke far larger volumes than what they were officially saying and started calling for serious preparation well before the opinion tide change on Twitter.
Our call is that the worst is yet to come and that we will have no sense of normalcy until a vaccine is found and that is still 12-18months away.
You can either read it here first on TDB or wait until woke Twitter and the journalists it enthrals thinks the opinion is popular.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice going into this pandemic and 2020 election – please donate here.

Nigel “Latte”! That’s brilliant!
Yes – almost as good as Matthew “Pootin”.
Yep it’s not bad eh Matty?
Christ you’ve mellowed a bit since your little jaunt to the other side of the world when we had to do without you throwing a hissy fit or two on N2N with her with the balanced portfolio.
I bet you’re a better bastard to have to live with these days as well.
I hope you realise now that all that sort of shit doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.
It probably takes a disaster for a few to wake up – and if so, then let there be many more.
There’s no doubt Nigs will be self-isolating, but all the while conscious of where the next earn might come from.
Fuck me! imagine if it had to be a NuZull version of Border Force – we were about due for one until all this little Covid19 popped up and bit a few officials in the bum.
And if it does come to that…………PLEASE………let me do the music track and scripts (It won’t be a PR trip for a few public servants) . Channel 7 have had it their way for too long and there’s money to be earned
Nigel who. Is that the TV series presenter.
It amazes me that a face on TV then assumes some authority.
He is one of johnky’s mates.
Why is Nigel Latta suddenly a big focus on this blog? I’ve come here for the useful information and great anaylisis TDB supplies and don’t understand why there seems to be a flame war going on with another leftwinger
Totally agree Aaron?
Latta is living rent free inside Bradbury’s head. Its petty, spiteful nonsense.
The woke would have stuck way way out if not for this blog dunking on them.
Is this the same Nigel Latta who does that juicy stuff on television ? Damn. I was thinking I might have to start watching television again, but if he’s thinking that every stone I ever threw into the Waimakariri River is still in situ- or even vaguely in situ – and not off somewhere doing a Cortes – or inspiring dead poets on Dover Beach – then he’ll not limit my horizons again – nor my memories – nor my reality.
Pundits preaching away like Meghan Royal Markles at the plebs may just be thinking aloud, but I thought that was Mike Hosking’s job ? Isn’t Hosking the one who shares his innermost thoughts with the whole blooming country ? And the one with rabies, isn’t that the leader of the Opposition ?
There is a time for everything, and this is the time for good leadership, and we’ve got it – its terribly sobering to even consider alternatives.
We used to have neighbours whose daughters would collect stones from rivers and paint designs on them. Just hope they didn’t take Nige’s stones.
I have read and reread the messages sent out by Nigel Latta and find nothing untrue or offensive. We have a need to be ware and careful with our actions but people are not dropping in the streets so panic messages should be avoided. The truth is the strongest way we will get through this .
nigel latta is a human skin stuffed with logical fallacies.
Worth a ponder.
https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies
“Lets not lose our shit.” Is ‘merican as pumpkin pie. ( Apple? Same thing but different.)
” It’s gonna be ok” Another one.
nigel ‘lap dog’ latta? Head-fuck, maestro in chief shrink in attendance to The Mighty Jonky? Just fuck off. Take your nasal, tooth whistling and just fuck off will ya?
I need a laugh, not patronised.
“Is he secretly a beaver?”
B a ! Haha aha a a ahah a !
Ahhh… That’s better.
Pumpkin Pie. BWT.

That Logical Fallacies link is excellent – Very helpful when trying to translate some of the outrageous comments and statements that litter the track.

@Trevor S “The truth is the strongest way we will get through this .” What does this mean ?
Please do not answer the above question – not that I have any major objection to getting all biblical and infallible and so on. Ta.
I just had to visit the late Lattes twit account ,,,, after Martyn had put his twitter screen shot in front of me many times ,,,
Niegels Zen and humor was not for me,,,,but otherwise I did not see anything further which was harmful in his writing. He was wrong about the Covid19 Pandemic ,,, but as Martyn pointed out he was far from alone in that.
When I checked a week or two ago, he was still calling for calm, which is good ,,, but his media persona with fat ego, had prevented him from saying ” hey I got it wrong “, which he could easily do,,, and still call for calm.
He was wrong about the virus ,,, but correct about the Racism ,,, We should put him onto Donald tRumps ,,,, in a twitter twatter war of Zen, stone throwing and likes.
Anyway, Check out this video of Donald tRump being both wrong and racist ,,, ,,,, Recordings of Trumps statements are presented as a voice over while ticking though dates on a calendar ,,, gems like ” Its going to disappear like a miracle” said on Feb 27, From about 6mins 30 secs ,,, ” Trump keeps lying” https://youtu.be/6X81E2ptEYo?list=LLbE5hpEbiUutWYXzuWg0_TA
On a more sobering note ,,,,despite tRumps howlers and bullshit ,,, Here in NZ we are at about the same level ,,, in lack of preparedness ,,, and time wasted,,,, that we will never get back ,,,for the deadly wave about to break over our health system and people,,
,,All our english speaking pirate fleet had Five Eyes Blindness (Uk, usa, canada, aussies and us) ,,, Our Captains must have been wearing double eye patches, instead of the customary one.
Also in Roland Martins informative video,,, we see clear evidence of corrupt politicians ,,, receiving information from experts ,,, and exclusively using it for them and their donors ,,,, to cash out BEFORE the share market crash ,,, while telling the usa public everything is good and under control.,, setting them up for excess deaths while ripping them off ,,, 31 mins into the above video….
Nationals rich donors probably got similar crooked insider favors ,,, under Sir Kiddy Killer Key and his dirty Govt ,,, and set us up with a underfunded health system ,,,, I’m sure they don’t get $100,000 bribes / donations for nothing.
Simon Bridges and the Nats think you can kill this virus with tax cuts and neo liberalism ,,, the rich and well-off are using their means to hoard food and empty supermarkets ,,, in another symptom of ‘blue rabies ,, ‘fuck the poor they can starve’, The good doctor JC would diagnose them as permanently sick people ….
While All the good or normal people working together shall overcome this pandemic ,,, and hopefully wont let those permanently sick rabid people weaken us again. Their greed is not for our good.
Dr John Campbell “Friday 20th March: Lets get serious” https://youtu.be/He0TYPm3Prg
Martyn – the tweet (since deleted) that should be highlighted is that scaremongering, barrel-scraping brainfart issued by Michael Woodlouse.
Utterly disgusting. Seriously National – if this is the calibre of people on your front bench, then just go self isolate – permanently. New Zealand doesn’t need you…….ever.
F@cking unbelieveable.
Nigel Latta was / is for ‘smacking ‘ children as part of discipline ,,, Perhaps he was suggesting using it on babys and toddlers,,, or children who can not understand speech?. Anyway I disagree with him ,,, and my kids are now bloody nice adults ,,, No hitting required.,,
Also I believe he is a liar ,,, to protect the NZ police reputation ,,, regarding the police informant and Murderer Travis Burns.
” In 1996 Tania Furlan was a young mother. She was beaten to death with a hammer and her six week old daughter, Tiffany, was abducted. Tiffany was later found safe and well at a church approximately 18kms away.”
Travis Burns, apparently described as ‘former rapist and violent thug’, was paid $30,000 for his testimony.
Burns later went on to murder Joanne McCarthy in 1998 – a murder that involved a hammer and was carried out in front of her two young children.”
Travis also put a lot of thought into concocting a Alibi and doing actions to throw off investigators in the second murder…
Actions much more convoluted and complicated than wearing a pair of his associates shoes and leaving a piece of paper in his flat ,,, before collecting a $30000 informants fee.
As seems likely In the first copy cat murder ,,, although it was the second murder which copied the first.
The near identical murders were All a big coincidence or something ,,,, the police got it right ,,,their informant was not a double murderer ,,, just a single one ,,,according to Latta
Shrink is gonna shrink.
He’s just trying to do his bit, unsurprisingly he’s seeing a medical problem from a psychological perspective.
One mans annoying know-all is another mans self help guru.
He sure seems to have got under your skin 🙂
Nigel L is a shrink not an epidemiologist so he should shut up. But then so should the rest of us non-experts
People who are just coming to The Daily Blog do so because they don’t really know what to make of all this. All we do at the daily blog is mostly make predictions lead by Bomber and Chris Trotter. We make lots of predictions, some about economic collapse, make up and shape of governments and legislation. We make loads of predictions and we get loads correct like this latest pandemic.
Edison when he made the lightbulb made thousands of predictions and he tested each one and found only one circuit was the correct one so even though we at The Daily Blog and in the comments make many predictions we still find the one circuit that works faster than any other media outlet in the country because we aren’t afraid to screw up, get things wrong or be a bit fringe, a bit conspiracy theory or a bit hyperbolic.
So even when some may say oh Martyn Bradbury is a communist Marxists or he’s the leader of the patriarchy or what ever dogmatic bullshit his critics can congratulate each other over it dosnt matter because we know the way The Daily Blog makes its predictions works, and we get the results.
We don’t need to know supplementary evidence, we don’t need to hear about what some other media outlet said because we know 100% that Bombers Daily Blogs predictive abilities are head and shoulders above the rest and that’s why people are coming here. They want to know what’s going on and they want to set on the shoulders of those who’ve seen it all before. Regulars of The Daily Blog have been thought volcanoes together, earthquakes, terrorism, financial collapse, and we’re still here making money, rubbing each other, having a bit of of fun, not freaking out even though we are adopting a rational panic.
There’s a difference between panicking and adopting a rational panic. A rational panic just means you’re 24/7 adopting a tactical mindset. Wash hands, check your flanks, do an inventory, prepare, no smiling because people will see the whites of your teeth and that will give your position away…, tacticool and shit. And stay connected.
Latta conducts local social experiments in Grey Lynn. One day he place a $10 note on the path to see what people would do.
Most people, pakeha pocketed it. My son, Maori took into the shop and handed it over. Did he write that up??
Wanker!
It appears Latta has completely mind fucked you.
Regardless of that, the damage we are doing to the world economy will be responsible for far more death and misery than the virus itself.
But hey, as long as everyone in the 1st world is ok then no problem huh?
Who is everyone? All there is are impotent politically correct geniuses eating from the trash can all of the time. Who exactly are you talking about? There is over 300 billion in debt and everyone is watching all that debt and thinking was it spent wisely so who is it that has the problem?
Nouriel Roubini aka Dr Doom:
“Warning to Billionaire investors:
It’s a fool’s game to try to time a bottom.
Wall Street investors are underestimating the damage from the coronavirus to the economy and stocks.
It’s not like a normal recession where the storm clouds are building, and you can start playing around with your income statement and cash flow statement to try to protect the company on the downside, you could have been a very successful business two weeks ago, and now you have nobody in your restaurant.”
Let’s not have a hate session on Nigel the Latte shall we. Think of the children – there a family to support, egos, expertise and experience to present, and a next gig to consider.
It’s not as though he’s a complete muppett after all (in this space going forward).
No………let’s give Nige a break. I’d hate it if the only thing we next saw of him were a few words on The Herald Premium, or the Spinoff – or worse still as the new sage on Kathryn’s spot on parenting expertise.
The fate of a nation is at stake
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/120369747/coronavirus-keep-calm-wash-your-hands-and-dont-hoard-supplies Latta is sort of eating his words now
