The Jami-Lee Ross strategy and endgame: Possible impacts for the 2020 election

What we are witnessing is a political hit job of bewildering savagery and maliciousness. I understand the moment Simon Bridges won the leadership, dented egos started plotting.

If you think what has been exposed so far inside National is brutal, trust me, it gets medieval from here on in

Vampire ebola zombies are kinder to open veins than what we are about to see – I don’t honestly know if they can back down.

Soooooooo about China trying to, you know, buy 2 MPs

At some point we are going to move on from JLR being an arsehole to women and you know, ask questions about the Chinese Government buying 2 MPs right? Like that’s coming up eh? Like that’s a direct threat to our fucking sovereignty eh, we aren’t this easily distracted right?

The Jami-Lee Ross audio tapes are damning

Jami-Lee Ross wasn’t lying was he – those tapes are pretty damaging and news today that Lusk is advising him is as much evidence as we’re going to get that this is dirty politics and an attempted coup to remove Bridges – the question is who is the puppet master?

Well, well, well – Aaron Bhatnagar and Dirty Politics is back inside the National Party

This is getting dirtier and nastier but this time around the sleepy hobbits of muddle Nu Zilind don’t have the laid back anti-intellectualism of John Key to absolve their conscience and ignore corruption, they have bumbling Simon Bridges. Key could look down the barrel of the camera and lie to our faces and the sleepy hobbits loved him for it, Simon can’t lie convincingly and they will turn on him.

National Party voters love a good liar, they detest a weak one. 

“inappropriate behaviour that is unacceptable from a married Member of Parliament.” – I’m sorry what?

If National are going to stand by that new ethical line in the sand, then should we start applying it to other National Party MPs?

National looks less like a political party and more like a front for Chinese business interests

As China regresses into a censorship totalitarian state, we need to ask how much influence our largest Political Party is under from Beijing and in whose interest does National rule? New Zealand’s or the People’s Republic of China?

If you want something done right, gag Michelle Boag first.

BY-ELECTION SCANDAL: That cold, terrifying and soulless nails-on-blackboard sound you hear right now is Judith Collins sharpening her talons

Jami-Lee has not so much burnt his Bridges as he has napalmed him. 

What’s most shocking – Saudi Arabia butchering a journalist or that we are outraged despite them killing thousands in Yemen?

By Martyn Bradbury  /  October 16, 2018  /  Deconstructing Headlines, Martyn Bradbury, Most Recent Blogs  /  11 Comments

I’m not sure what is more shocking – butchering a Washington Post Journalist or that it’s taken that murder to outrage everyone about Saudi Arabia when they’ve already killed thousands of civilians in Yemen.
