Willie Jackson to become first Māori MP to debate at Oxford, following in David Lange’s footsteps
Willie Jackson will become the first Māori to speak at an Oxford Union debate, following in the footsteps of Labour leader David Lange.
Jackson has been invited by the Oxford Union to debate the motion “This House believes British museums are not very British” on May 23.
“I am very honoured to have been asked to participate in such a prestigious debate,” Jackson, Labour’s Māori development spokesman, said.
Rather than Celebrate an extraordinary invitation like this, what does Winston do?
Why Winston does what Winston can only do, shit on everything…
…what an arsehole!
The reason Winston is acting so bitter is because Winston is jealous.
The Oxford Debates are the greatest debate series in the world where Winston’s great hero, Churchill spoke at. To be invited to speak is a prized honour that clearly Winston always wanted and his naked jealousy that Willie was invited and not Winston is the reason Winston is acting with such Trump level malevolence.
Willie will be the first Māori to speak at the Oxford Debates and the second Kiwi after David Lange, we should all congratulate Willie for being selected and we all look forward to how he is going to to debate that the British Museum is Very British.
Good luck Willie, and what poor form by Winston.

Oh dear, poor Winston. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Everyone is still failing to see how brilliant he is.
Envious and resentful of others’ success.
Winston showing his true colours … again
Unfortunately Winston Peters is showing his true self day after day. He is not as loved and funny as he thinks he is. He’s becoming a sad little man with much to much power for his own good . It will be interesting to see how long he can keep up the pretense of solidarity in this awful government.
So glad that Oxford can see Willy Jackson’s potential. Why can’t NZ, and more pointedly, the Labour party. I hope this great honor will wake them up, get rid of Hopkins and replace him with Willy. I saw David on the Working Group, he’d be bloody useless leader too, tho better than Hopkins who is worse than useless. Willy is the one person who can save Labour before the next election. I hope to God they come to their sences and do it.
“So glad that Oxford can see Willy Jackson’s potential. Why can’t NZ”- Same reason that Jacinda was ‘lauded’ overseas but increasingly less so at home . .
It could be a set-up. Peters is one of the most articulate persons in Parliament and we need them as much as all parties would benefit from the wisdom and experience of elder statesmen instead of kids with zilch real life experience.
Nice try but scammers really should learn to spell.
Who is Hopkins?
Winston’s major aspiration at the moment is possibly a dry fart. He has become a nasty egotistical chap indeed.
Willie is articulate and will likely do us proud at Oxford.
More tall poppy syndrome shit from stephen and the likes we are bad for this in our cuntry. If you’re really worried about public speaking you might want to start at the top and help our PM.
I would care if they were debating UK’s murdering of poor brown people around the world.
Correct Martyn, Winston has no ability to debate, he’s a lawyer so he is right and everyone else is wrong. It is pure jealousy.
Winstone is sick in the head and a silly old coot so is his commander shameless jones.
I wonder who is on Winstons’ spin team.
They are even worse than Luxons.
But if you are writing for a fuckwit you may as well be one too.
The Winston First Party
Party program:
The Winston First Leader must hold the horse racing portfolio in every administration the WFP enters, and installed as a permanent fixture wined and dined and invited to every racing industry glittering event and race day party.
Great to see Jackson participating in one of the great colonialist institutions.
Willy must have been third choice behind Shane and Winston.
Who are Shane and Winston?
Some things in life clearly have a “used by” date permanently engraved on them, because it’s abundantly clear to everyone that it’s an anachronism, and belongs in a museum.
Does this sound familiar to everyone?
Perhaps Willie should invite Winston along as walking, talking proof for his argument.
Hold your horses everyone, and see how this debate pans out. Willie isn’t exactly the most erudite person in Parliament, and possibly not a natural frequenter of repositories of ancient history, learning, scholarship and culture, although a natural on talkback radio, so I’m told. Bit naughty Winston, but at least he didn’t laugh.
sHoot , those, who thyem.
Eh!, will, wit a thing.
That’s not uranium you can smell on Winston’s breath.
One of the more memorable of the Cambridge Union Debates between James Baldwin and William Buckley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTEr7Cwc4cE
Eh! Wil, koreo, eh te ewi. Joke line debate, yet, thought.
Good on Willie, he’s not as radical as me but good to see a Maori voice in Oxford
Winston is just an angry bitter old man destroying his own legacy out of spite
Winston’s just pissed that he hasn’t got a knighthood and Sir Ponytail puller has. Or just maybe he sold his sole to Luxon to get one?
Always cracks me up with the Johnny come latelys who fink da intawebs and blogs are fuckin 5th form English class. It shows succinctly, the level of comprehension they maintain. Although, if I prefer Chipkins to Hopkinsville.
