  1. King Charles: My Press secretary has warned me not to speak too much in case I might make a racist gaff…
    Luxon: Mine said the same thing too!
    King Charles: How did I get talked into this?

  2. Thank goodness they are both wearing ties, and well done Charles not cavorting around in modern celeb type clothing with thigh gripping trews. Men in flappy 1940’s clothes are pretty darn cool, and so are the trousers.

  3. Luxon: Hehe what to say… what to say… hmm don’t mention sea bed mining, mining on conservation land, fast track bills to exploit the environment.
    Ah I know.. Nice suit!
    King Charles: Oh this old thing. Yes I last wore it on safari back in 75.

  4. The King looks lean and though battered by life still has ‘standing’. Luxon is plump and looks like the spoilt male child of uncaring parents, about humanity and values that is. I prefer the King – keep on Charles we need a noble warrior and worrier to sustain our hopes for a viable future.

    • Grey W. King Charles interrupted his cancer treatment to travel south, and that shows a dedication to service and to duty which is rather admirable. Ginny and co tweeting about his clothing are being childish and disconcertingly shallow IMO. Half of Parliament dressing like a kiddies’ costume party are the clowns who should be tidying themselves up. They are such an embarrassment.

      • Didn’t know about the cancer treatment Aunt D. Thanks. I try to reimagine policy and ultimately our wee kingdom. The media are a sort of porn about well-known figures – kids stuff really. Charles has been a pretty good person doing his best at remaining true to self while twisted by palace protocol and the media and parental expectations. He seems to have kept his head all through and nice that he is fronting up. Young Prince Will has the cancer of wife to worry about so Charles is keeping the flag flying I think. And when one checks the ranks of hopefuls I wouldn’t salute anyone else.

        • Greywarbler. The king has been treated for benign prostate enlargement, separate from his cancer. Seems to me that he wouldn’t be wanting to wear snug clothes with that, and a Kiwi politician joking about it is way out of line.

          Nothing wrong with vintage clothes anyway, and as one of the first public environmental watch dogs, for which he was also mocked, I wouldn’t expect him to be biffing out perfectly good clothes.

          Between you and me, I have a certain aversion to older men in young chaps’ clothing, including jeans, and aging men with young guy haircuts, especially spikes, look even sillier. They should be happy to have any hair at all.

    • Greywarbler. The only “ value” Luxon seems to care about is money. He’s said his parents were high school drop outs, so perhaps his values could more limited than those of others. He’s a soap salesman, made CE of Air NZ by Ardern, which seemingly set him on the trajectory for Key to plonk him in as leader of the Nats and become PM and thence an insult to everyone’s intelligence, IMO.

  5. “ How many roads must a man walk down
    Before they can call him a man?
    The answer my friend,
    is blowin’ in the wind
    The answer is blowin’ in the wind.”

  6. Chris “ You don’t have to say you love me,
    Just be close at hand.
    You don’t have to say you love me,
    I will understand.”

  7. Bald man makes King feel like a natural woman.

    “The treatment for testicular cancer, did not cost a hair on my head”

    The wind in the sail of a ship and inheriting power from a Queen, rather than a king.

    Could you arrange a defence in the challengers backyard, we have not seen it since we lost it to the older colony, America?

    A man does not beg, he mentions that you have need of help with your own shipwreck.

    Yes “old age is a shipwreck”, it is that for any man. And our empire and now America and thus the bed of George Washington.

  8. Stop drinking vinegar is my advice SPC. You need a better nostrum or you won’t be as strong and able in your aged years as King C.
