Let’s be very clear why Luxon will throw Uffindell under the Twitter outrage bus & trigger a new by-election in Tauranga

I believe that National will seize upon this moment and force Sam to resign so that they can virtue signal their own right wing values of zero crime tolerance.

Now with 'Private School Boy Mode' where Teddy Luxspin beats the bejesus into you.

I don’t like lynch mobs of any type and Trial by Twitter is the ugliest mob of them all.

RNZs new evidential threshold is the same as the Salem Witch trials.

I think judging any human being for who they were at 16 is a monstrosity.

I don’t minimise the harm Uffindell has committed, but I do demand contextualisation of his age and that we are taking events two decades ago.

I don”t care about National MPs, and I’ve got zero time for his privilege, but he’s a human being and judging him on his childhood so the revisionist micro aggression policing movement can collectively pile all their own childhood trauma onto one target is boring and terribly dull, especially when we have so many actual fucking issues confronting us.

If only we on the Left were as good at strangling off child poverty, the cost of living crisis and housing unaffordability the way we can National MP careers for things they did 2 decades ago.

I believe that National will seize upon this moment and force Sam to resign so that they can virtue signal their own right wing values of zero crime tolerance.

National are attempting to pass a far right welfare privatisation agenda while screaming tough on crime rhetoric, they can’t crack down on disabled young people on welfare and da gangs and da ram raiders if they are allowing basher toffs off lightly.

National will side with the woke Lynch mob and pretend it’s theirs!

Uffindell is toast, he’ll stand down, National will use this as a chance to virtue signal to tell NZ they are being hard on their own so they can be harder on our young people.

Luxon will tell media in Te Puke that Sam Uffindell is leaving for Hawaii.

The woke feel morally superior, National get to virtue signal their own hard line and then use that to justify the even harder solutions they are pushing.

No one wins out of this cluster fuck of virtue signalling, not Uffindell’s victims, not our collective debate, not the young people about to be thrown off welfare.

I’d be surprised if Uffindell doesn’t attempt to self harm.

Are we all feeling self-righteous enough yet?

If we’ve finished destroying Sam Uffindell, can we do ASB next?

    • So KeepCalm. I think this quashes the “left wing media” doing a hit job theory. This property mag masquerading as a newspaper, aka the Herald, is no friend of the leftie. This is what msm do regardless of which tribe involved. Remember Ardern was going to be forced to resign over complete bs when she was very popular.

    • You’re forgetting the most important facts, brother. While attending the University of Otago, he was once VERY DRUNK. This is unknown in the annals of Dunedin’s history. And while living in confined, damp, shitty quarters, he on occasion had arguments with a flatmate whose father thought she was a princess.

      • You might have spelt “annals” wrong Mohammed?

        If that is really your name? Sure you aren’t Hone Carter re-imagined for the 2022’s” Or Eggstien, whose ban on internet use, must have expired by now?

        Your blogpost, sounds more like an episode of BBC1’s “‘allo ‘allo”, except trans-morphewed with a Pakistani brogue?

        In the Herald article, there were also trophy ‘bars’ and trophy ‘womens underwires’, so it’s looking pretty suspect that you are who you claim to be, Mr Khan?

        Time to call out CSI Dunedin and have Mohammed’s use of the word “shitty” and the phrase “flatmate whose father thought she was a princess” annalysed, for any trace of an Eggstienism, or a Donnarumaism, or a “RogerBridgeism”?

        I ran Mr Khan’s blog-post through my lexigraphic-homo-morphic solar-battery-powered annalyser (which I got off E-Bay) and it said there was a 83% chance that Mr Khan is a Dirty Politics fictional pseudonym!

        • Your a racist Gordon Kaye.
          Lay off Mohammed.
          You are just jealous because the parties of the right, like National and ACT are way more inclusive than Labour and your Greens

    • To be honest I couldn’t give two shits about how dirty his flat was but the women’s undies on the coat hook really speak to what kind of man he and his flat mates were (or probably still are) and that is something that I think should be a real concern and certainly (if nothing else) mark him as a man not deserving of our respect.

      • Spare us James. I know you are more balanced than the current moral hysteria but..
        Ease your mind with a walk down memory lane: here’s none other than Jacinda Arderns bloke in the 1990s talking about his Dunedin scarfie TV station, celebrating chasing down females and all the bawdy student stuff the Labour Party is currently horrified about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4gieKK2AmY
        Fucking hypocrites

        • Yup maybe the undies on the coat rack thing is pretty harmless but I just haven’t had much patience for men who treat women like shit and maybe the undies thing was indicative of that mindset and maybe it wasn’t . .

    • Keepcalmcarryon. Those pictures of Uffindell’s student flat are media bottom scraping, presumably to pander to their asinine readers. They need to get a sense of proportion. They won’t, but they should not be leading witch hunts.

      Undies on the walls are a normal sort of activity for boys recently released from all boys’ boarding schools. In my student days in Dunedin, it was the Catholic girls who ran wild. So what.

    • NZherald is being rightly torn a new one in the comments to that article on Facebook.
      Shit journalism and bullying in itself.

    • Keepcalmcarryon – This is likely the media colluding to divert attention from Carmel Sepuloni’s fixation on abolishing the Commissioner for Children for doing such a good job. Plus one or two other things, like child povidy, homelessness, rising food prices, and a bitterly cold wet winter which is making life so much harder for have-nots. Crappy OU student flats are a phase – no great problem unless couch fires happen to spread.

        • Wheel Great about RNZ and Oranga Tamariki – I was under the impression that it was the Herald who were leading the Get Uffindell campaign; one early morning story cited Louise Upston leaving the chamber in protest about abolishing the Commissioner for Children, but nowadays that could also be a Get Upston move. And we’re still left with cold houses or no houses at all, and hungry queues at depleted food banks.

          • Given Upston fucked up the Ministry for Women portfolio under Key, not sure she should be throwing stones in glass houses. But given she is rightfully in opposition, I guess she has to find something to oppose. The rest have/are being addressed, healthy homes policy, winter energy payments. Just remind me what the right did to support the issues you raise? Cold houses, nothing, created homelessness, foodbanks, nothing. Yep the right sure are the answer!

      • Applewood is still hung up on the whole Commissioner for Children thing.
        It appears Applewood is not so easy to forgive. On the other issues, they have all been addressed for the have nots. Thinking an alternative government that created these issues in the first place will be better, is like putting a cannibal in a butchery pretending to be vegetarian.

        • Bert. Yes, I am deeply concerned about this government’s wish to kneecap the Commissioner for Children and I will remain so.

          • You join the ranks of most groups that deal with children in opposing the move by Sepuloni to remove the childrens commissioner. Only those under the spell of this government now believe that they know best rather than listen to the experts.This is starting to show itself in other areas as well . Finance Health 3 Waters all running foul of the experts.
            The lack of candidates in local body elections reflects the adverse effect that this government is having due to its interference and the lack of certainty moving forward.

          • And I am deeply concerned of your conspiracy theories on this media concoction and I will also remain so particularly without a hint of evidence.

  2. Nobody wins? Seymour and Act say hi. Te Reo’s woke corporate approach will get Act back to the mid teens. Well done Clint Smith. Well done.

  3. Are we really going to hold todays standards and expectations to those of our youth 20 years or in my case 40 years previous?
    If so we all need to confess.
    In the eighties at a student flat of both girls and boys we had a naked barbie doll in a hangman’s noose as our toilet flush cord.
    There I’ve said it.
    We all thought we were being witty and railing against a consume be silent die society but I guess we were actually being misogynistic, violent murderous fantasists judging by todays micro aggression cancellation society.
    Fuck off.

  4. I have reflected on the key question here. How do your past actions affect you now, and whether we need to forgive/ignore/accept someones behaviour when they were young(ish)? Can people change for good?
    Before I give you the answer – this is classic. Sam was asked to leave Kings, but every badass bastard at a free school is expelled. Now thats the sign of truly classy school, where they never need to expel anyone.
    So my answer to the question of forgiveness is this. It’s up to the voter who has full disclosure from the candidate. We each have our own journey and clearly some are willing to forgive while others not so much.

  5. This is another case of a poor selection by Goodfellow. Luxon could come out of this in a good light if he handles the situation well . One of Jacinda’s weakness has been a soft handling of poor ministers.Clark and Key were both leaders that took,no prisoners. That is what most people want .

    • Well aside from the fact that Key thought Jamie Lee Ross was a future champion, and he should have properly ditched Judith Collins when he had the chance. The fact that Goodfellow is still there even though he has stood down just sums National up. Why would he be mentoring the new head? Just ridiculous. It seems half the “talent” that National had, that was not devoutly conservative, left because of the production line of wankers that the party seems to have.

  7. Such a shame, Uffi would have made one hell of a minister for children, he knows all the pressure points and weaknesses of the little cherubs. He won’t be forgotten though, least of all by the right wing commentariat who were willing to casually rewrite the manual on child trauma psychology just to see their boy in government.
